March 2017 Spring Quarterly Meeting to be held Thursday, March 23 at 7:30 pm
The Board of Directors voted to postpone the 2017 Spring Quarterly Meeting, as prescribed in the By-Laws, until March 23, 2017. The meeting agenda was mailed to members on March 13, 2017. A PDF copy may be downloaded by clicking on the link in the Files section below. The second document linked below is the letter from the Board of Directors to the community members, mailed on March 20, which lays out the Board's rationale for proposing the vote (at the Spring Quarterly Meeting) on starting the written vote to authorize the sale, over time, of the remaining rental houses. This is likely the most important decision the Board has taken since the reconstruction of our roads, and all members are encouraged to participate in this decision process. Please read the attached letter and plan to attend the Spring Quarterly Meeting or find a neighbor to bring your proxy to the meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting on March 23, please use one of the voting proxies that you can find at this page of our web site. |

Fall 2015 Quarterly Meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 3, 2015
The Board of Directors has scheduled the Fall Quarterly Meeting of Cabin John Gardens for Thursday, September 3, 2015. A PDF file containing the meeting agenda can be downloaded by selecting the file link at the bottom. Cabin John Gardens Bylaws require that we elect 3 to 5 members, at each year’s fall quarterly meeting, to serve on the Nominating Committee. This is an extremely important responsibility that CJG members share. In order for this election to proceed, we must have a quorum (15 members) at the meeting, or we will have to reschedule the quarterly meeting to be held again later in the month. Assuming we have enough members for a quorum, this will be a very short meeting — probably no more than 30 minutes. If you are absolutely unable to attend the meeting, please consider finding another member who plans to attend, and give them your undirected (general) proxy to carry for you. If you need a proxy form, please use our standard form for General Proxy from the CJG web site. The Board of Directors urges members in good standing, who are able to volunteer just a little of their time this fall, to please volunteer to serve on the Nominating Committee. Thank you! Sincerely Yours, CJG Board of Directors NOTICE OF QUARTERLY MEETING CABIN JOHN GARDENS, INC. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 7:30 p.m. Order of Business:
By direction of the Board of Directors, Joel Ann Todd, Secretary ARTICLE VII COMMITTEES Section 1. Nominating Committees.

Such nomination(s) shall be presented to the Secretary not less than twelve days prior to the next meeting of the Membership, and the Secretary shall include such nomination(s) in the notice of such meeting to each Member.
