| General Manager's NOTE regarding ANNUAL MEETING |
This was my 13th annual meeting that I have been involved in and attended. This year's 2010 meeting was just awesome and rated #1 in my book. It had all the perfect elements of a great meeting.
Following are some highlights that made this year the best one yet.
1. Slide show presentation of pictures of community events, weed cleanup efforts, seawalls, etc.all in which Board Members were greatly involved.
2. Slide show presentation of reports given by the Board, Officers and Committee Members.
3. Very informative such as the open financial information, legal issues, collection issues, etc.
4. Questions and comments were answered properly during open discussion and every owner that had questions or comments, or wanted their voice heard had the opportunity to do so. At past meetings sometimes we ran out of time before everyone had a chance to speak.
5. 2009 accomplishments and 2010 planned projects.
6. Voting is now done appropriately and professionally.
7. Reports came from every officer and 3 committee members all in a very timely manner to ensure that owners received quality time for open discussion. It was not just one voice from one or two Board Members
8. Very informative committee reports regarding lake issues such as dredging, fish stocking, weed control, etc.
9.Open discussion was pleasant with questions, concerns, comments and all that were addressed appropriately by different Board Members.
10. The attendance level was just above a quorum, although would love to see more members attend to support the association. In the past if we had a huge turnout out it would be because of owners having dislikes such as controversial matters or complaints about how the Board runs and/or operates. My experience has been that when the Board is well liked and doing a great job that owners are not compelled to attend the meeting. Therefore the attendance level remains low.
11. The meeting ended 15 minutes before the scheduled time due to that owners were happy and had no further questions, comments or complaints. The President took great efforts to ensure everyone had a fair chance to speak and presided well over the meeting.
12. The Board received many compliments. One owner even stated that the Board Members should all have sore backs for all the "good, pat on the backs" they were receiving.
13. It was an all around well thought out, planned meeting and was a great success.
We have a dedicated team of Board Members which work very hard for their association and should be commended and appreciated. They all work on a volunteer basis and are not compensated financially for all the efforts that they give. A special thank you to Larry Bergman, President, who prepared a very professional slide show and his side kick Bob Callison helped in the set up of this project. Harry Breniser, Treasurer, and Hal Whiteford, Vice President, put in a lot of time and effort in assisting with other preparations for the meeting as well as presenting very informative information regarding the financial status of the Association (Harry) and with important up to date information on important Board business (Hal). Both of these gentleman put in a lot of their time regarding collections, legal matters and much more. A special kudos has to go out to Trish O'Shea, Secretary, for chairing the community events for the 4th of July and halloween Trunk -n- Treat. John Gosinski has done a great job in organizing and overseeing several seawall projects. Ralph Damato has strongly educated himself in the weed control program. Dennis Blain, Al Hetke and Bob Callison, Harry Breniser, Ralph Damato sit on committees and have been involved in a lot of the progress that took place last year. Each Board Member puts in more time than just a once a month meeting and more than what I mentioned above and only mentioned a few highlights.
Thank you Board,
June VanBuskirk, General Manager
