HOA ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING: MAY 4th 10:00 am at ZIMMERMAN FIRE STATION

 

Just when we thought Winter was over, it makes another (hopefully brief) visit. I for one, am ready for Spring.

 

The Board and Treasurer have been hard at work preparing for the Annual Members Meeting, which, as noted above, is set for May 4th. As a reminder, the dues for 2024 are due on May 1st (with late fees assessed after 30 days past due, on June 1st) as always, and invoices have been emailed out this week. Many of you have already paid, and we thank those who paid early or made donations above and beyond their dues amount. Please remember that in order to vote at the annual members meeting, your dues must be paid before the meeting starts.

 

There are two board positions that are up for election this cycle, as Don Johnson and Kelly McDermott are coming to the end of their tenure. Kelly has decided not to run for re-election, and Don has agreed to run again as incumbent. If anyone is interested in running for one of these positions, please send us an email and we will be sure to get your name on the ballot.  I also want to take a moment to thank Kelly for her Board service these last few years. As anyone who has held a position in the past can attest, it is not always glamorous and takes more time and effort than you would expect. We appreciate you, Kelly!

 

Our annual round of road work is scheduled for late Spring / early Summer, and like last year, we hope to include our neighbors down along the river and Owl Gulch to defray some of the mobilization costs. As usual, we will wait until after mud season for the work to begin. We did do some urgent repairs last week, adding gravel to Elletson Road, as it had become almost impassable after snow melt off. If anyone knows of any specific areas that require attention, please send us an email so we can include it in our plan for 2024. Our goal for this year is to target specific areas in need of drainage improvements and / or culverts.

 

The Lake Recreation Area Work Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 18th (time will be announced at the member meeting). Any help is always appreciated. We will continue with our next round of dock replacements this year, working toward our goal of having all the docks replaced with the new aluminum units by the 2026 season. Please note, all dock replacements are funded by seasonal slip rental fees and not regular dues payments. Special thanks to Mike Daw, Chairman of the LRA Committee, for his continued hard work in coordinating these efforts.

 

We have moved up the Annual HOA Picnic, with the hopes of having a larger turnout. Come down to the Lake Recreation Area on July 20th from 12:00-3:00pm. Mark your calendars, as this will be a great opportunity to meet some of our new neighbors. We hope to see you all there.
