Opinions
Sharing opinions help us understand what we believe in and what we are. Typically, to have an opinion about anything we need to have knowledge. Also, when we have an opinion we take a stand. It helps us to understand ourselves. Lots of opinions are being shared on several social media sites about the proposed Splash Park. I personally think it’s very important for Property Owners to express their opinions. My hope is that they would form them based on fact or a point of knowledge on the subject and evaluate it based on their personal values and needs. The tricky thing about social media is that it lacks that human connection which promotes values, relationships and can cause callous comments resulting in an environment that lacks respect. This phenomena is known as the “online disinhibition effect.” Basically , being online lowers your inhibitions which typically results in people opening up more online than they would face to face.
Several Property Owners, committee members and staff have provided, and will continue to provide, factual information on this project. Detailed information on the design and requirements were provided in the December edition of the Woodhaven News starting on page 26. This can be accessed on Woodhaven’s website and Facebook page. Questions, discussions and opinions are needed on this project and if done in a productive and respectful way, will provide what is critical for Property Owners to know so they can ultimately express their opinion and that is to vote on it. If after reviewing the provided information, you have more questions or comments, please email them to: AORC@woodhavenassociation.com. The referendum for this vote will be this Spring with the date to be determined.
