An act of Congress established the medal, and President Abraham Lincoln signed the act into law in December 1861.

    November 2014 Periodico de Esperanza Meet the Board Candidates ow that state and local elections are over, we can turn our attention to the election of our EEHOA NBoard members. Each year at the annual meeting in January, homeowners elect three directors, who serve for a three- year term. Electing directors is a serious business. The Board makes decisions that have a significant impact on the quality of life in our community, so homeowners should carefully consider for whom they vote. You will soon receive your annual meeting materials, which will include a ballot and biographical information about the candidates. To supplement that information, the Periodico staff interviewed the candidates to give you some additional insight into their views on what is important to our com- munity. We applaud the members of the Board and those who have agreed to run for the open positions. Our Board works hard for the benefit of our HOA. They are all unpaid volunteers who are willing to de- vote a considerable amount of their time to serve their neighbors and protect and enhance the assets of our community.
