OUR MISSION

It is the mission of this website to set up and maintain an interface medium between the Homeowners and the Board of Directors and provide timely news and information reporting about the LaJolla Homeowners' Association and Owner feedback, bringing transparency and responsibility into dealings and operation of the LaJolla Condominium complex....

PRIVACY NOTICE:
Due to partial Identity Theft inflicted on two of our residents who were listed on the RESIDENTS' page, all personal information with the exception of the names of the residents previously introduced has been removed effective today, January 2, 2010.  This measure is to ensure that no further "mining" of our information will occur.  In the future, the "NEIGHBORS" page will be either removed or will continue to show only pictures of the residents but, for the present, pictures and names remain.

To fund the level of maintenance necessary to keep LaJolla a clean and well-run comdo complex, all of us must pay the required Maintenance Fees.  For personal reasons, a few Owners have chosen NOT to pay fees at all. This is simply not acceptable behavior.  Some owe amounts running into a few thousand dollars.  Failure to settle your account will trigger continued action by the HOA and finally result in a legal lien against the condominium itself.  If you are significantly in arrears, please contact the LaJolla Office and arrange for a conference to find a way for you to bring past debts up to date.  Your condominium's beauty and value are at stake.

On Saturday, March 20 at 1:00 PM in the La Jolla clubhouse, the annual meeting of Homeowners was held.  Elected to office were Sr. Pablo Gonzalez, Administrator; Tom Goodman, Secretary and Dean Peterseim, Treasurer.

EARTHQUAKE IN BAJA

At around 3:40PM on Easter Sunday, May 4, a magnitude 7+ earthquake hit the area of Baja California near Mexicali, doing considerable damage to Mexicali and surrounding area.  Since that time, we have received several phone calls and eMails wondering just what happened in Rosarito.  Well, the answer to the question is, "almost nothing".  No damage has been seen or reported to the La Jolla condominium complex and there were no known injuries here in Rosarito. 
At the time of the earthquake, my wife and I had just settled in for a movie at the local Cinepolis and I, at first, thought somebody was kicking the back of my seat.  When I turned around to confront the guilty party, I discovered that there was nobody sitting behind me.  Aided by that piece of vital information, I quickly arrived at the decision that we must be having an earthquake.  The shaking continued at a mild level for a bit longer than a half minute and then stopped.  The movie continued without interruption and most, if not all, of the audience stayed quietly seated watching the movie.  Suddenly, the lights came on and some very officious employees insisted that we evacuate...we did.  Outside, we found a group of relatively calm individuals who couldn't seem to figure out if they were more excited about an interrupted movie or an earthquake. 
Not wishing to waste time, we walked to the Applebee's Restaurant nearby and were seated for dinner without any sense of urgency or alarm.  After consuming a delicious dinner, we walked back to the Cinepolis just to find all of the employees sitting around the outside wondering what to do.  After we discovered that our ticket stubs would be honored for another movie within a month, we drove home where we found the elevators working, electricity on, water uninterrupted, the TelNor telephone working but cellular service unavailable.  Upstairs, we discovered Paulina, out part-time housekeeper happily at work. 
In short, the powerful Mexicali earthquake was pretty much a non-event in Rosarito.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
