I sincerely hope that each member has carefully reviewed ASC/CSC, Infrastructure and the issues and has decided to support the amendment proposal. If you have not Long Range Planning voted, I remind you that we are probably in the eleventh hour of balloting at pub- 842-8968 lication time for this newsletter, so if you have not yet done so, please cast your [email protected] vote and return your ballot in the stamped, self-addressed envelope provided. PAUL BOILEAU, VICE PRESIDENT If you have attended a presentation or reviewed the material, you know that Clunhouse & Fitness Center this amendment vote is about our ability to obtain financing for the community 842-1519 center. Without this amendment passing, it will take 2/3 of all property owners [email protected] voting yes to approve a community center loan. That means out of about 600 MIKE COLLINS, TREASURER property owners it takes about 400 yes votes for approval. Unless the vast major- Finance & Budgeting ity of members return their ballots it will be very difficult to achieve the required 846-3212 majority. That is why it is so important for you to vote, and hopefully vote to [email protected] approve the amendment. CHARLIE PEPE, ASST. TREASURER The reason the POA board seeks financing to build the community center is Grounds (PO & Vacant Lots) because borrowing the construction funds spreads payments out over 20 years Vegetation Area or so, therefore the full cost burden does not fall on current property owners. If 842-5339 we pass this amendment, financing approval will not require 2/3 of all members [email protected] voting yes, but rather 2/3 of the votes cast or a majority of all members, which- ever is less. This is a much more reasonable approval hurdle to achieve, and it DELORES MALLORY, ASST. SECREtaRY Lockwood Lines & Social Activities allows responsible, voting members to determine the outcome of votes, not the 846-2165 members who aren’t engaged and who don’t return their ballots. [email protected] If the amendment passes we have a good chance of obtaining financing approval FRANK MOON for the community center. If it fails, then a financing vote may fail as well. In that Boat Storage Area, event the board will begin researching options to pay cash for the community Trash & Recyclables center, which is how the Winding River center was funded, and how many large 842-1295 POA projects in associations across the country are funded. [email protected] Your Board of Directors maintains its commitment to make the new community JOHN vaN DUSEN center a reality, and as long a clear majority of property owners support us in Docks, Boat Ramp & Storm Water this effort, as they do now, we will continue seeking solutions to make it happen. 846-2002 ~Joe Geise [email protected] KEN CHURCH Security 842-4368 [email protected] SHARLENE ACKLEY Pool.

He has increased membership in his current position by 842-2030 developing successful golf and social events, including some innovative tourna- [email protected] ment formats that I think we can have some fun with.
