OCEAN SANDS FACEBOOK GROUP
TWO YEARS OLD AND MORE THAN 500 STRONG!
In April of 2015, the Governance Committee was formed by unanimous floor vote at the Annual Owners Meeting. Due to Coastland’s failure to disseminate pertinent information about our community, we went to work to find a way to better connect neighbors with neighbors. We set out to build a database of owners’ contact information, and in 2016 we launched our first email to the Home Owners of Ocean Sands. Our mailing list has since grown to more than 1,300 subscribers.
Later that same year, we began work on an owner website, designed to host information about Ocean Sands, including FAQs, legal documents, emails and posts. We announced oshoa.org in the winter of 2016.
In August of 2017, the Governance Committee created the Home Owners of Ocean Sands Facebook Group, and invited homeowners to join. It started small, but there are now 517 verified owner members. On this Facebook page, owners share important information about our homes, our community and events, vendor services, beach and dune crossover status, hurricanes and tropical storms. Whenever Ocean Sands suffers the brunt of a storm, for example, neighbors reach out to neighbors, sending photos and checking homes for those who are unable to get here to see for themselves.
Since this is a closed group, only members who own property in Ocean Sands North may be admitted. This is meant to provide a safe place for discussion among owners. Members are held to the basic FB standards of respectful and courteous discourse.
If you are a member of our Facebook Group, thanks for joining! If not, please send a request to join by clicking here: Home Owners Of Ocean Sands. Spread the word to other Ocean Sands neighbors!
Finally, we continue into 2019 to get the job done. So if you, or someone you know, haven’t signed the Written Consent Form to amend the Declaration, please do it this week! More than 80% of Facebook members have sent in their signed Written Consent Form. Doing so will amend the Declaration and place control of our community into the rightful hands of ALL owners, not the Developer. We’re getting very close to reaching that goal. Question about the form or process? Send us an email: admin@oshoa.org.
Here’s a link to the email that will explain why, and take you to the form that you need to sign: http://oshoa.org/2017/08/10/written-consent-to-amend-the-declaration/
Do it this week.
The Governance Committee,
Al, Rick, Dennis, Chris, Robert, Greg, Jim and Jeanne
