Joining the meeting
This year’s annual meeting will be held via Zoom. In order to join the meeting, you will need to register with your name, address, and email in the link that will be sent out to neighbors via email in early January. After you register, you will receive an individualized link that you will use to join the Annual Meeting. Do not share the registration link or your individual link. We will be using the registration information to ensure that we know who is joining the meeting and voting. As a reminder, voting at the annual meeting is limited to one person per household.

Voting by proxy
If you are not able to attend the meeting, you are able to assign a proxy vote to the Board or to another Walnut Grove neighbor. In order to assign a proxy vote, please send an email to WalnutGroveMadison@gmail.com with your name, your address, and your designee (either the Board or another Walnut Grove resident). Please copy your proxy on the email so that we can be sure they are aware you have asked them to attend on your behalf. Here are two examples:
I, Jane Doe of 12 Grove St, designate the WGHA Board as my proxy for the 2025 Annual Meeting.
I, Jane Doe of 12 Grove St, designate John Smith of 20 Grove St as my proxy for the 2025 Annual Meeting.
If you would prefer not to use email, please return a proxy sheet to the Board before the beginning of the 2025 Annual Meeting. Proxy sheets can be dropped off with Board President Liz Fenster at 33 Southwick Circle. The proxy sheet will be made available in January.
