Pool & Gym - We are anticipating another uneventful and pleasant season at the pool for
2010.  Please be reminded that additional pool passes purchased during the 2009 season may
be used during 2010.  Passes from 2008 or earlier MAY NOT be used.  Once again
shareholders will be provided with a brochure addressing opening and closing dates, dates for
late night swims, etc.

Infrastructure - Work on our elevator renovation project is moving along as per schedule
and is expected to be completed in a timely manner.

We anticipate work on the parking deck renovation to begin in the spring.

Insurance - A final insurance report has been deferred awaiting more information from our
broker.  Here is a link to the information the broker has furnished us with so far:  
Insurance
Report January, 2010

Security - 1. No breaches since our last Open Board Meeting.

2. Since rooftop water tanks are a known source of Legionella growth, we had the water
tested and it is both chemically and bacterially pure.

3. Please be sure that if anyone sees anything amiss, let the Security Committee Chairperson
know.

Tenant Selection - The tenant selection committee has approved the sale of Apt. 15H.  
We welcome the Orlando family.

House - 1. Powdered bleach packets are currently available in all laundry rooms.  Should you
find an inadequate supply, please be in touch with Roberta in the Office.  This initiative was
taken in an effort to preclude more hallway carpet damages from spilled liquid bleach.  Please
refrain from carrying liquid bleach in the hallways.

2. Cryder House has specific rules and regulations for move-ins/move-outs and renovations.  
Copies of such rules may be picked up in the office at your convenience.  While contractors
are given copies of our rules, shareholders are responsible for their contractors being in
compliance.  An incident in which a contractor used oil-based polyurethane in violation of
our house rules resulted in the contractor being barred from Cryder House for a period of
three months.

3. Should you become aware of any housekeeping issues, please be in touch with the office
immediately.  It is up to each and every one of us to be the eyes and ears of the House
Committee.

Garden - In short order we can look forward to our spring plantings as our landscaper begins
to prepare our grounds for the spring and summer seasons.

Garage -
