I read the August issue of The Colonies Crier last week and noticed The Colonies Connection Google Groups Online Community website was not listed. The Colonies Connection is a community forum website maintained by recent Colonies Board of Directors Candidate Dominic Basile. Upon further investigation, I discovered The Colonies Connection community forum website link was last listed in the April edition of The Colonies Crier (should be noted that press deadline is the third Friday of the previous month which in this case would have been shortly before Dominic made his candidacy by petition as a Candidate for the Board public). Dominic has maintained this community forum website as a free service to The Colonies community for a few years. The Colonies is being extremely petty by not providing this information as a community service to co-owners and residents in the monthly publication of The Colonies Crier. Not nary a word stated in any of the editions of The Colonies Crier that they would be ceasing providing the information.
The website of the Colonies Connection is as follows:
The Colonies at McLean, a 459-unit gated condominium community near Washington, DC in McLean, VA of Tysons (Fairfax County) within walking distance of McLean silver line MetroRail station, Scotts Run Trail, Tysons/Old Meadow Road Bike/Pedestrian Trail and Much More. It is professionally-managed by Barkan Management Company, Inc. (https://www.barkanco.com/). Controversy occurred causing co-owners to question Board of Directors practices, financial activities and Management inefficiencies.
