			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.
