George Roraback
Hi neighbors,
My name is George Roraback and I am running for the HOA Board. I’m a retired state
government employee from Albany, NY. I have been a resident since 2012. At that time the
subdivision ended at Listeria Crest. The growth since then has been amazing!
I’m a people person and enjoy the variety of all ages in our subdivision. We are a diverse
community. With many of us being transplants, we understand what it’s like to start the next
chapter here. I remember moving into Winston Ridge excited to meet new people and I have
been doing that ever since. I was a member of the original social committee for 2+ years. I am
presently a member of the landscaping committee since 2022. Thank you for your consideration
in supporting me.
Your Neighbor,
George Roraback
John Dunning
I am a retired CEO of a jet charter company and a commuter airline. I was a board member of
five different community associations for over 20 years serving as President for three of them
and Vice President for two of them. I hold an inactive Certified Manager of Community
Associations certificate and an Association Services Management certificate. I completed all the
educational requirements for a Professional Community Association Manager certificate.
I moved to Winston Ridge in 2010 when there were only 20 or so homes. I believe that HOA’s
should be governed by knowledgeable caring homeowners. I believe that as a board member one
must listen to the needs of the owners and govern accordingly.
I was on the board until some health concerns forced me to resign last August. Thankfully, I
have recovered from those concerns and am now in good health.. I would appreciate your vote.
Sincerely,
John R. Dunning
Nancy Loncto
Allow me to introduce myself. I have lived in North Carolina for twelve years and at 33
Jessamine Cove for the last six. I grew up in Ithaca, NY, lived in Boulder Colorado for 22 years,
returning to Ithaca in 1994. I hold an associate’s degree in Hotel Administration but consider my
practical education the opportunity to attend summer camp for three years in Algonquin Park,
Canada. Those were the days when, as a teenager, I could hitchhike and long-distance canoe
(without adult supervision) learning particularly important life lessons.
I am an active retiree whose early career includes experience in the retail, insurance, construction
(residential & commercial) and hospitality industries. My most interesting professional positions
include Assoc. Director SE Asia Program at Cornell University (1994-2013), Director of
Foundation/Corporate Relations for the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver and its “subsidiary”
World Youth Day (1990-’93), and Director of Development for the Colorado Association of
Commerce and Industry (1985-1990). Each of these positions provided me with the opportunity
to effectively serve a large diverse constituency while garnering identifiable results for them. I
also gained effective budgetary, administrative, and communication skills in each position.
While I am not Catholic, I am especially honored to have been a part of bringing Pope John Paul
II and over 500,000 youth from over 100 countries to the U.S. Each of these positions filled my
bucket list by allowing me to have a positive influence in someone’s life.
My favorite volunteer activities provide me with a sense of accomplishment beyond “work” and
include serving my community: i.e., Town of Lansing, NY Planning Board (2001-2013 – Chair
2003-2009), Colorado Committee on Public Education (1987-1989), and P. E. O. (2012 – 2023)
serving as Chapter Corresponding Secretary for 1 year and President 2 years. Again, these
opportunities allowed me to have influence. Currently, I have been consistently attending
Winston Ridge HOA Board meetings for the last six months. As a result, I have responded yes to
an invitation to run for a position on said Board.
My hobbies feed my soul and center around my home, friends, and family (two children and
three teenage granddaughters). I enjoy traveling, sewing, gardening, and cooking to entertain
friends. Yes, that means I hate to cook day to day. It also means that I feel very privileged to
have traveled in the US, SE Asia, and Europe. However, these days, HOME on Jessemine Cove
is where I want to be with my husband, Steve. It is also where I would like to make a difference.
I would appreciate your vote to serve on our HOA Board and promise to uphold with integrity all
applicable responsibilities while being responsive to your concerns and inquiries.
Respectfully,
Nancy Loncto
Stephen Jones
As a Board Member and Treasurer for the past two years, I have a proven record of supporting and moving the community ahead fiscally and socially. My contributions include:
– Conducted a thorough review of our first reserve study, identifying errors
– Overhauled the 2024 budgeting process for greater accuracy based upon contractual obligations, income, reserve needs, and spending with an eye toward maintaining a balanced budget
– Created and maintain WinstonRidge.org
– Created the comprehensive 2024 community survey and analyzed results
My family joined the community in 2013. We look forward to WR continuing to thrive and come together.
Respectfully,
Stephen Jones
Tracy Lowe
I am originally from New York, though I most recently hail from Maryland. There I enjoyed a
long career with jobs primarily in computer programming and project/program management. As
a result, I am highly organized, understand fiscal responsibility, and know the value of having
standardized processes and written documentation. I also know how to get things done. In my
free time, I enjoy trying new activities, learning new skills, having adventures, and walking my
dogs and riding my bike around the community.
Wallace O’Neal
My name is Wallace O’Neal and my wife, Donna, and I live at 189 Plantation Dr. We have lived
in Winston Ridge for 8 years and found this to be the best place we have ever lived. Everyone is
friendly, help full, and courteous with all neighbors. I am seeking re-election to the Winston
Ridge Board of Directors. I have been on the Board for two years and even thou it doesn’t seem
like it, but we have made great strides and I would like to continue the work we have started.
I graduated from Hardbarger Business College with a degree in Business. After graduation I
enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent three years in service. I am also a proud veteran of Vietnam.
After my service I went to work for the N.C. Department of Correction, Raleigh, N.C. I left to
go to work for the Wake County Sheriff’s Department, and was promoted to Sergeant after five
years. In 1980 I went to work for the CSX railroad police department and spent thirty years
there. After retirement on December 31,2010, I have spent my retirement working with my
church building handicap ramps for people in the community. This has been one of the most
fulfilling jobs that I have ever done.
Thank you for any consideration
Wallace
