2011 Toys for Tots

The Wellington Community Center is once again an official designated drop-off location for the Marine Corp Toys for Tots program.

The gifts children receive through this program are many times their only presents. Please help those less fortunate. Light up a child’s face and brighten your own Holiday season in the process.

Donations can be dropped off through December 14th at the Wellington Community Center. (Toys must be new and unwrapped.)

2011 Annual Meeting & Board Election

Dear Wellington Community Homeowners:

The 2011 Wellington Community Association Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 15, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. in the Wellington Community Center, located at 9700 Wellington Road, Manassas, Virginia.

The purpose of this year’s Annual Meeting is to announce newly elected members to serve on the Board of Directors, to provide community residents with an update on the status of the community’s budget and serve as a forum to address any questions they may have concerning the administration of the Association.

Due to a board member resignation, the 2011 election process will seek to fill 3 positions on the Board of Directors.  The positions will be filled for the 2 board members whose terms are expiring and one (1) position to fill the remaining term of the board member who resigned. The elected Directors will each serve a 3-year term (or such shorter time as may be applicable due to a prior vacancy) on the Board.

Please do not assume that this is a done deal.  In order for these the candidates to be elected to the board of Directors, a quorum of the membership is needed.  Quorum is established through the return of correctly completed ballots.

Please take a minute to read the documents included in the election packet you will receive in the mail.  It contains important information about the election process, information about the candidates and a 2011 election ballot.  A self-addressed return envelope is included for your convenience.  The candidate’s submitted biographical information is provided here.

To vote:

  • Please read the candidate’s information and make your choices on the corresponding ballot.

  • Fill in the ballot completely. Fill in your name and address and do not forget to sign the ballot. This is very important as an incomplete ballot cannot be counted.

  • Return your completed ballot to the Election committee by one of the following methods:
      • U.S. mail. (If time permits) Please remember to mail your ballot in time to be received by November 9, 2011 at 5 p.m.
      • Drop your ballot off at the Community Center during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.),
      • Place it in the drop box at the community center (to the left of the main door) for after hours drop off.

Remember, the election will close, via mail or hand-in ballots, at close of business on Wednesday, November 09, 2011. Ballots received after the close of election will not be counted.

Please note that any owner who is delinquent on their financial obligations to the Association or who has an unresolved violation cited for their lot is not an owner in good standing. Their vote will not be counted toward the election of Directors.

Please contact the Association’s on-site office if you have any questions.

Thank You for your participation,

The Election Committee

Rain Date: Fall 2011 Community Yard Sale

There was a fair turnout for the community yard sale this morning. However, since it was drizzling early in the morning and attendance was lighter than usual, we have decided to exercise the rain date for Sunday, the 18th! Signs will be left up and residents are encouraged to set out items to sell tomorrow morning.

The sale is advertised in the Manassas Journal Messenger and the Washington Post. Take advantage of the free advertising and clear out those unwanted and unused items stored in your attic, your basement and your garage.

The association will place directional signs from main streets of Wellington, Cloverhill and Hastings. Resident posted directional signs and arrows are allowed, however signs must be removed at the end of the sale. Please remove the signs and items that you put out for the sale.
