I am a POA fan and have been a member for years. I had noticed way back when we first arrived four years ago, that they were a bit snarky toward the developer and VHA in their writings. But they have gotten rid of that attitude. I think they are concentrating on defending homeowners' rights.

Some have disparaged their leader, Elaine Dreidame, as being merely a PE teacher, but she actually has advanced degrees, including a Ph.D. in administration of higher education as well as physical education. She served as Division I Vice-President of the NCAA, a member of the NCAA Council and the NCAA Executive Committee, the NCAA Joint Policy Board and numerous other NCAA Committees. I think she is well qualified in administration. I continue to support the POA. .

I have nothing against the VHA, but I note that POA delivers a newsletter to everyone's driveway whether a member or not. We have not once received a VHA newsletter. Do you have to be a member to receive one?
