Personal note from the editor:  It has been my personal pleasure to provide you, the Pinnacle homeowners (and my neighbors) with useful information regarding our new home we call the Pinnacle.  Many of you have asked why I do it.  The simple answer is that I do it because I believe in the importance of communication and information.  The more we communicate - the better informed we are to make the Pinnacle a remarkable downtown community within a community we can all enjoy.  I look forward to continuing in the role of communication to the extent that such communication will be helpful to you my fellow neighbors.
 
I have recently added a Features section to the website highlighting all of the distinctive features of the Pinnacle and photos will be added to this section to help illustrate the amenities of our building.  The Forms Section has been enhanced so you can fill out the forms on-line before printing them if you so choose.
 
Sincerely,
Pat McArron
