We are off to a good start in 2010 with our January expenses coming in slightly under budget. We used $3,400 of our reserves to purchase new blinds for our clubhouse. Darien saved us $1,500 on this purchase by negotiating with the vendor. Thank you, Darien! Our reserves at month end were $347,000. We have joined an APM-sponsored consortium of other condominium properties and will purchase our natural gas in 2010 from Metro Media Energy (MME), a MA based gas reseller. We are hoping that MME’s volume pricing will save us about 20% on our $12,000 annual gas expense. Please note that this program applies only to our common gas use, such as gas for the clubhouse and for the Hollister House. It does not apply to any of our individual units. Sorry!
