Our Estrella Team Members are hard at work
planning for the Annual Meetings, which will be
held Tuesday, September 22, at 6:30 p.m. The
Annual Meetings will be virtual this year, rather
than in person.
We are also working on the Annual Meeting
Booklet, which includes the agendas and minutes
from the 2019 Annual Meetings, committee accomplishments, financial reports for each
Association, and questions from residents. If you would like to submit a question for the
Question & Answer pages in the Annual Meeting booklet (please know that only eight-10
questions will be included), you are welcome to do so. Please send your questions to
Communications Manager Karen Angelo at [email protected] no later than 5:00 p.m.
Monday, August 10.
Closer to the Annual Meetings, we will send a link that will enable you to attend from the
comfort of your home. Please be sure to save the date for now, and stay tuned for additional
information regarding the Estrella Annual Meetings in the coming weeks.
