The document discusses the Indah Elite Resident & Owners Association and its efforts over the past two years to build a better community. While they have made progress with less than 20 volunteers, they want more residents and owners to get involved by participating in discussions, giving feedback, and paying maintenance fees. The association also provides useful community contacts and addresses some neighborhood issues like overgrown areas and clogged drains.
