The Lauren, A Condominium

Annual Meeting -- May 14, 1998

President’s Report

Joseph Morris

President Morris reviewed the past year's activity by the Board of Directors. He mentioned the service awards, which had been presented to two Lauren employees for their long tenure with the building, Desiderio "Cacho" Salinas and Thomas Burless. Three additional awards were given to employees for their exemplary service.

The work of three standing committees was recognized by Morris as contributing to the accomplishments of the Board during the previous year. They were Zoning chaired by Dr. Brian Larkin, Landscaping chaired by Don Benedick, and Decorating chaired by Roger Hirschland.

Morris said he was pleased with what he described as an improvement in the building's finances despite the fact there were major expenditures for a new chiller and redecorating. The replacement of the 26-year old chiller cost approximately $100,000.

The lobby and first floor redecorating will begin soon, according to Morris. He said the committee approved the revised plans submitted by Georgetown Design.
