Message from President Rick Noffsinger

“Dues Increase?”
     The demographics of Diamondhead has changed. We have retired seniors that are on fixed incomes and working families that have tight budgets due to the current economy. This is the main reason the Board has taken immediate measures to make certain cuts and to do without in some areas. We could do nothing and hit everyone with a dues increase early in 2012. However, we for see more homes going up for sale and a lot of disgruntled residents if we follow that plan. Not everyone that lives in Diamondhead is financially secure. Some of our happiest people in Diamondhead don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. We will continue to make decisions that are right for the community and be careful not to be influenced by the few.
     The short falls in the 19th Hole and the Country Club are acknowledged by this Board. Improvements will be made. We are not perfect or problem-free. It is a work in progress. Some residents have been cruel & unethical - offering their own spin on the facts. This is not OK.
     I welcome all comments and opinions. I’ve never learned anything from someone who agreed with me. I will be available at the 19th Hole every Thursday evening between 5 and 7:PM if you wish to meet with me.
     It is our intent Not to raise the dues in 2012!
     For the working section of Diamondhead the POA office will be open on Tuesday’s until 6:00 PM.
Sincerely,
Rick Noffsinger
