Thanks to dedicated efforts by many shareholders across our campus and extra thanks to those who went door to door collecting proxies and reminding neighbors to attend, at last night Annual Shareholders meeting, we successful attained sufficient shareholder representation in order to vote for the new Board of Directors.
More updates from last night to follow. Stay posted!

Please remember to bring your ID so that they can verify your residency and shareholder status when you arrive
6:30pm at
Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School
357 Clermont Avenue (entrance is on Greene between Vanderbilt and Clermont)
If you are unable to attend, please provide your PROXY to a friend/neighbor. I recommend making your friend your delegate and allowing them to vote at the meeting unless you have preferences for specific Board nominees.
The meeting will go quickly if all shareholders and proxies are checked in and submitted as soon as the meeting starts. Once quorum is obtained, voting may begin. While we have quorum, any attendee can motion for a new rule to be passed, which shareholders can vote and decide at the meeting. If quorum is not obtained at the onset, the meeting will move to address audience questions while waiting and hoping for more shareholders to arrive.
Please come on time so that the meeting is quick and effective!

Halloween is fast approaching and between our two campuses we have the annual haunted house at 313 Clinton Ave. If you caught the newscast on NY1 this week (see http://ny1.com/7-brooklyn-news-content/top_stories/108030/-carnival-of-carnage–comes-to-brooklyn) you may have recognized a few of our CHAOC residents rehearsing!
Our neighbors continue to get involved in Halloween events. Co-Op resident and owner of Still Hip, a children’s store at 283 Grand St, is hosting a Halloween block party 11am-6pm. At 5pm, another of our dwellers adds to the holiday festivities as he and the LIG band rocks and closes out the street party.
I’ve long had a vision of the Co-ops getting in on the neighborhood halloween festivities, maybe with a jack-o-lantern / pumpkin painting contest or childrens halloween parade… but for this year we can rub elbows – or wings, antennae, bones and other creepy costume appendages – with our neighbors out and about Clinton Hill.
happy halloween!

Sorry for the last minute information… Tonight in buidling 325 starting at 7pm is the October Resident Council meeting. With the recent run of break-ins and changes in Board members, as well as the upcoming Shareholder Meeting, this should be a worthwhile discussion.
See you there?!

New PSC ruling on Electric Sub Metering
Posted by chaocblog under Home Improvement, Maintenance, Utilities[2] Comments
The PSC approved new requirements to protect tenants in electrically heated multi-family buildings that are to be submetered. Under the new requirements, building owners must invest in energy efficiency measures to achieve savings of 20%, must install accessible meters, must provide tenants with information on energy conservation and must adhere to certain provisions/protections under the Home Energy Fair Practices Act (HEFPA).

Sad news traveled fast yesterday when I learned that a beloved neighbor, friend, family and to some, tennis coach, Ivory Manor (bldg 355) passed away this week due to an unfortunate case of pneumonia. Additionally, a few of the residents have expressed an interest in coordinating support for his family. Please let me know if you would like to be included.
Memorial Service for Ivory Ernest Manor
Saturday Sept. 26- 1pm
Woodward Funeral Home, 1 Troy Ave, Bklyn, Ny 11213

We have a lovely CHAOC resident, Florence, who helps continuously to bring our community together through various sidewalk and street festival events. The next one is tomorrow on Hall St, between Dekalb & Willoughby.
Unfortunately its too late to sign up to have a table, but its not too late to go browse the goods! The event is rain or shine, so even if it does rain (as predicted tomorrow), bust out the umbrella and maybe you can score a rainy day deal!
If you wanted a table but missed it this time, the annual fall Giant Neighborhood Sidewalk Sale is Oct 10 & 17. To sign up for a space, call Florence @ 718-636-9263
