4 | OHCC LIVING | FEBRUARY 2024 | President's Message, continued from previous page that some of these people are so convinced of their superiority and righteousness that six of our original eight cameras have been stolen and/or trashed — but they are being replaced. Sooner or later these people — our own version of the vandals who are plaguing nearby neighborhoods — will either give up or be caught. In the meantime, they are a plague on us all and an embarrassment to our community. We have recently sent out a call for candidates for a host of standing committee positions and we encourage everyone with any interest to step forward and learn about the opportunities available. We are also still actively soliciting members interested in serving on the Board and filling the current vacancy. The staff assist very ably in the operation of our Association, but it is our volunteers who give it wings and make our life here the exceptional experience that it is. Please join us!
