CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS: THE GREAT CAMP BRANCH ACRES MAILBOX PROJECT!
Hold on to your hats, residents of Camp Branch Acres! We’re rallying the troops for a project so monumental, so immense, that it will take the might of our entire community to bring it to fruition. What’s that, you ask? Oh, just the small matter of… fixing the POA’s mailbox!
Yes, you heard it right. The mailbox, that steadfast guardian of our community’s communications (or lack thereof), has been sitting broken for what feels like centuries. It sagged open through the great floodings of April, welcomed in the rain during Hurricane Beryl, and remained as open as the road canyon when water swallowed parts of our road. But fear not, friends, for we shall gather our bravest, most skilled craftsmen to tackle this epic challenge.
Now, you might wonder, why the fuss? Why rally the troops over a mailbox? Because, dear neighbors, this mailbox is the very backbone of our community’s democracy after Kelle illegally removed proxy voting without any board or property owners’ votes! After all, how can we safely vote by mail when our trusty POA mailbox is insecure, rusting away, and welcoming the weather in like a bad guest overstaying their welcome?
But fret not! Kelle is on the case.
After months of sitting back and shaking her head at this daunting obstacle, Kelle has finally admitted that the mailbox repair is simply too much for one person. It’s not just fixing a latch, you see. No, it involves skills akin to brain surgery! We’re talking about hours of pondering, careful measurements, bending the laws of physics, and—dare we say—potentially applying an adhesive magnet in the rain. So, naturally, she’s calling upon the entire community for assistance.
Kelle, our fearless leader who has valiantly avoided dealing with roads, bylaws, and all those “little details,” has finally met her match. The mailbox. “It’s just… too much,” Kelle sighed at the last board meeting, eyes glazed over with the sheer overwhelm of it all. “This mailbox has gone to hell in a handbasket! I mean, do we need a professional locksmith? A structural engineer? An exorcist?” She wonders if we need to form a special task force, complete with a project manager and a budget proposal.
Pedantic Phil, ever the diligent researcher, has consulted Google AI and reports that it appears the mailbox can be repaired without involving the Postmaster General directly. A relief, right? Not so fast! Phil adds a cautionary note: we may need to seize the land the mailbox is sitting on to gain immunity against any potential tortious interference of postal delivery mechanisms liability charges. Nothing’s ever as simple as just fixing a broken latch around here!
Meanwhile, our secretary, Kelly Feral, has graciously stated that she is the only one who should have access to this mailbox, as maintaining the sanctity of the mail system falls squarely on her shoulders. Of course, there’s a slight hiccup—her next availability to oversee this operation isn’t until 2025. “Sorry, folks, my calendar is booked solid until then,” she assures us, not a hint of irony in her tone.
And the other board members? Well, they’re out of commission too, unfortunately. They’re all tied up with the competing time restraints of fixing the road.
We anticipate this project will require at least six months of planning, three committees, and a quarterly report to update everyone on the status.
But on the bright side, it’s a really good thing that Kelle is no longer in charge of the road. Just imagine the committees, the endless discussions, the laminated blueprints pinned on every community bulletin board… We might’ve completed the road in 2026, built out of paper ballots and rusted mailbox parts!
But rest assured, if we join forces and tackle this Herculean task, we might just restore the POA mailbox to its former glory… someday. In the meantime, rest assured, you can continue to have all of your correspondence ignored and ballots mishandled as before.
