Past Events
Holiday decorating – As previously discussed, participation by other clubs was unacceptable, leaving HOA to do most of the decorating and taking down. Only one club president even responded regarding the decorating, and that group did not do the take-down. This will be discussed at the President’s meeting scheduled for 3/11 at 10am. Bill will take responsibility for seeing that the meeting happens.
Monthly dinner party on 12/20 – The Chinese Dinner from Bamboo Asian Fusion Cuisine was well attended and the food was good
Club signups – Signup was on January 3rd. There were 45 signups that day. We are currently at 70 members.
Community Patrol/HOA lunch at the Grille – Was on January 5 & 6. Park management has now revoked permission.
Show Me the Money by Rolling Thunder – First event was held on 1/8. Rolling Thunder handled pretty much everything, start to finish. There were around 50 people there and it went well. Sandi and John sold burgers and hot dogs, chips and sodas/water. Lynne and Chuck sold raffle tickets.
Upcoming events
Annual meeting – Will be on 2/5. We will need a quorum of 25% for voting on Board positions. Susan asked all to review bylaws regarding the process.
Next Board of Directors meeting – Will be on 2/12
Next Show Me the Money by Rolling Thunder – Will be on 2/12 from 7 to 9pm.
Old Business
Wynne property condition – It is still an issue that it takes so long for WBC to install and finish outside of houses they put in. They’ve been observed working on the inside while the outside is a terrible eyesore.
Golf cart raffle – Total taken in so far is around $4300. Some sales haven’t been added in yet. Time is short. Discussed need for volunteers to take sales out to the community and other strategies to get tickets sold before March 5th.
Car wash coupons – No discussion
Lawn service responsibility – No discussion
IRS communications – No new communications
Inspection issues – Issues continue. No discussion
New Business
Rolling Thunder – Want to continue Show Me the Money events on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Sandi will apply to reserve that date and time through May 2026. Sandi moved that we officially appoint Frank and Christina as the Rolling Thunder Support Committee. Susan seconded, motion passed.
Annual meeting – Election of VP and Membership coordinator to be done at the Feb. meeting. Discussed the positions of Communication and Media coordinator and Event Coordinator previously discussed. Sandi clarified that she doesn’t want to relinquish the general coordination and oversight of event programing. She wants individual event coordinators who will recruit helpers themselves and take responsibility for the event or program from start to finish, with oversight and minimal to no assistance from Sandi. Susan said she is still trying to determine how best to delegate media related tasks, as everything is integrated. Suggestion made that Sandi and Susan consider their challenges and develop plans to clarify how best to utilize help with their tasks.
Age certification survey – Not discussed
Adjournment – Doreen moved to adjourn the public meeting. Susan seconded. All were in favor and motion passed. Meeting was adjourned at 10:10am
Respectfully submitted,
Susan George, HOA Secretary
