Stan Green who was a founding member of SVHOA board in 2001 and now participating in the formation of a Master HOA for Battle Creek, presented information concerning the HOA and development of bylaws. A purpose would be to have a unified voice in the community for those issues that impact the Battle Creek Area. Stan was asked to represent SVHOA on the Master HOA and agreed.
