The winter season is a magical time of year.

It's a time for giving and receiving, a time to remember others less fortunate than us, and a time to enjoy family, friends and colleagues. 

The spirit of the winter season also gives us the opportunity to reflect on all that we've been blessed with. I believe it's important to share this with all of you - clients, friends, prospects, family, email subscribers and co-workers because each of you have made a significant impact towards Dowco. 

Check out this video of the work we did this year and the fun we had along the way! I hope it inspires you to set your sights even higher next year, to love more and achieve more.  

The reality is that most St. Louis homeowners will not become actively involved in their subdivision associations. However, involved residents can offer valuable contributions if committed to the mission of improving their community, so it is important to get their input at board meetings.
