Membership Meeting - Work Day

In order for the pool to open on May 19th, a lot of work has had to be done. Additionally, more needs to be done. As has been said in recent correspondence, The Board of Directors isn't asking for anymore money...we just need your hands and backs for help.

Saturday May 17, 2008, we will hold a Membership Meeting at the Pool. The time will be announced later, (but it will be before noon) A few items need voting on by the Membership. Following the meeting we will hold a work session to get a few items in order, and we will have lunch provided for all those working. Please...we need your attendance.

2008 Membership Dues

Membership Dues for 2008 will be considered late if not received by April 15th 2008. A monthly installment will be assessed in the amount of $2.50 plus 10% of the unpaid balance for accounts not paid by that date. Money received for dues payments will be credited to any older balance first, and then applied to current assessments.

Any member whose 2008 dues are not paid, will not be allowed to use Neighborhood Amenities until their account is paid in full. This is the only fair solution to those members who make their payments as required. (That means the common areas, picnic tables, and yep...the swimming pool too.)

Please submit your dues payment timely. MANY...many members in our neighborhood paid their dues early in the quarter. And your Board Member Officers who consequently volunteer our time without any compensation have paid in full.

Everyone has their own burdens (including us) but we all need to contribute to our obligations responsibly as we should.

Thanks for those who have already..and I appreciate those who will get their dues submitted promptly.
