I doubt the notice was scribbled on a piece of paper. Association governing boards, depending on their association by-laws and covenants, may have been given substantial authority by the members to enforce the same without escalating to court summons. I've served on such a body and it isn't easy.
In any event, the OP needs to do some homework to see where he/she actually stands in the matter. Until that is done, any discussion is based on unknowns.
