March 5, 2010 CVOI Informational Meeting
The Concord Village Owners, Inc. Board of Directors is hosting a shareholders’ informational meeting on Thursday, March 18, 7:30 PM-9 PM at the St. James Pavilion, located at 240 Jay Street. There will be reports from the Directors and time allocated for general questions from the shareholders. No official business will be conducted during this meeting. The Board of Directors encourages your attendance. CVOI Proprietary Lease and By Laws
Time is running out to vote for the proposed changes to the. If you haven’t done so yet, please take a moment and vote your shares. We have had a healthy response so far and almost all of the votes cast were to approve the changes. Unfortunately, those votes represent only about 60% of the outstanding shares. We need 66.66% to change the Bylaws and 75% to change the Proprietary Lease. These changes were recommended by the CVOI attorney and have been approved unanimously by both last year’s and the current Board of Directors. There was even a New York Times article about the importance of not letting the Proprietary Lease Term expire (NYT 06/14/09 Page 8 in the Real Estate Section) which is item #5 on your Ballot. The Ballot and an explanation of why each change is important is available in the management office. If you have any questions, please email
