In the spirit of the freshness of the New Year, we are updating our files, and embarking on some new projects. During the next few days, you will be receiving a questionnaire about the occupancy of your apartment. This questionnaire is for management use only, and will remain the private property of the Galaxy. Please read the accompanying letter and fill out the questionnaire, in order to be properly listed in the directory. Also, see below for another reason it is imperative that we receive your completed questionnaire.

We are installing a new Key Fob system to replace our aging system.  It is no longer cost effective to keep our old system on life support.  In continuation of the topic above, "The Questionnaire", if you use a key fob it is necessary to fill out the form mentioned above so that you (and those that live with you) can receive new key fobs.

If you are interested in contracting for one year of high speed internet access at an approximate cost of $22.00 per month. The cost varies slightly form $19.00 to $24.00 per month depending on how many residents sign up. The rate that is quoted in the survey is not an "introductory rate" for six months, but rather will stay in effect for the length of the contract that we sign (from 1-3 years). We have not received many responses, which indicates that the issue is not worth pursuing. If you are interested in high speed internet access, please fill out the survey or leave your name with the concierge.

The movie for January 17, 2003 will be Sunshine State, starring Edie Falco and Angela Bassett.

We begin training our staff on Monday, January 13, 2002 in the utilization of this new system. We will also be training residents in the near future. With this system, you will be able to order a repair from your office or home, read and send email messages to residents, contact your concierge via computer, and receive notifications of mail and package deliveries. Important Association documents will also be available for viewing and downloading as well. Right now, we are adding the final touches to the program and working out the last little kinks. There will be a big announcement in January, when the program goes on-line.

Our engineer has sent a set of drawings to the Guttenberg Fire Official, Tony Capser for preliminary review, in accordance with Mr. Casper's directive. The plans will be reviewed at the State level by the appropriate officials. To date, we continue to be exactly on target with this project.
