The Annual Meeting of the Members and Election of Board of Directors is set for Wednesday, June 2, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. at the Nellie Gail Ranch Clubhouse at 25281 Empty Saddle Drive, Laguna Hills, CA. In order to achieve quorum, at least fifty percent (50%) of the Homeowners (i.e. 704 out of 1407 members) must vote. Historically, less than 50% of the membership participates in the Annual Meeting, and the meeting must be adjourned to another date. The quorum at such adjourned meeting shall be lowered to twenty-five percent (25%) (i.e. 352 out of 1407 members). The Reconvened Election meeting date, if necessary, will be Wednesday, June 9, 2021, at 6:30 pm at the same location. The inspector of election will be in attendance at this meeting.

Ballots may be returned by mail, or other certified delivery to: The Ballot Box, 13681 Newport Ave. #8-341, Tustin, CA 92780. The deadline for the receipt of mailed ballots is close of business on June 1, 2021 for the June 2nd meeting or, if we do not meet quorum, June 9, 2021 for the reconvened meeting. The preferred method for returning your ballot is by mail; however, the Nellie Gail Ranch office will also have a locked ballot box if you prefer to drop off at 25211 Empty Saddle Drive, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.
