Meet and Greet

Each month ANA members gather at a member’s home where we get to make new friends and reconnect with old ones.  This is one event where the focus is on building a community and sets Amapas apart from other neighborhood associations.  The host is responsible for set up and members bring an appetizer and beverage to share. 

Usually there is a general update with an ANA Board member so attendees get to hear the latest and greatest news. Interested in hosting a Meet and Greet? Please contact Robin Spencer at membership@amapaspv.com.  We’re looking for hosts for the following months – July, August, September, October, and November.

Mariachis, Margaritas, and More

The third annual event was held at the Presidencia on Thursday, March 28th.  Over 25 restaurants presented a sampling of their culinary delights to the 100 people who attended which included ANA members and non-members.  Local entertainment was provided by Classics 5A1, Ballet Folklorico Tradiciones, a surprise visit from tenor Alejandro Pena, and Mariachi group Los Galleros.

 

The success of this event is because two colonias, and the Tourism Department collaborate and focus upon what they do best.  Colonia Viejo Vallarta secures the restaurants, Tourism gets the Presidencia and local talent, while ANA sells tickets and manages the process.  Thanks for attending!

Step 2 – President’s Round Table

On Monday, March 25th, 26 ANA members gathered to identify priorities for the top two goals.   We began by laying out the two areas we would address.

  • Safety and Security of Self and Property
  • Infrastructure to Meet Demands of Excessive Development

Using a round table process, the members were divided into two groups where Sylvia Toy, ANA President, and Robert Howell, ANA Secretary, operated as the facilitators.

The draft goals created by the two groups were submitted to the ANA Board at its April 2019 meeting.

Over the next months, the ANA Board will create a five year plan and present it to its membership upon their return.  Stay tuned.

Extraordinary Meeting 2018

Extraordinary Meeting 2018

Saturday, October 20th ANA held its first Extraordinary Meeting.  It was a meeting of firsts in many ways.  We achieved quorum by proxy prior to the meeting ever taking place.  How?  One of ANA’s bylaws allows the HOA President or Building Administrator to submit a proxy for the entire building’s membership.  The participation of our full building members at Condo Escondido, Estrella Del Mar, La Cima III, Las Hortensias, Las Moradas, Selvamar, Terraza Del Mar, Villas Loma Linda, Villa Tizoc, Villas Macuaz, Vista Amapas, and Vista Romantica combined with those members who submitted a proxy and those members who actually attended the meeting helped us to the percentage of participation we needed.  We were able to begin the meeting at first call.  Since the agenda was concise and to the point, the meeting was over in 30 minutes.  Yes, 30 minutes!  We celebrated all of these firsts and welcomed our new Board – Sylvia Toy (President), Don Pickens (Treasurer), Robert Howell (Secretary), Gene Mendoza (Vocal), and Robin Spencer (Vocal) – with a delicious breakfast buffet offered by Taste Restaurant and bubbly Mimosas.  What a great meeting!

ANAual Giving 

The Amapas Neighborhood Association is proud to announce that for our 2018 ANAual Giving Campaign all proceeds will go to the Tom Swale Memorial Sidewalk Fund, in honor of our late President.  Finishing the sidewalk along highway 200 was Tom’s last big project and one which we want to complete in 2019 in his honor.   Our goal is to raise $20,000 USD for this project.  It is a big push, but not nearly as big as all the work Tom put in into the ANA for the last six years.  Please help us reach this goal by the end of 2018!
