Your webmaster has learned the provided telephone number to call for the January 16, 2021 teleconferenced Board meeting was inaccurate, so the posting on the web and sent to many members was also incorrect.  While no physical location was part of the meeting notice for the teleconference, in fact all Board members except one were physically present at the Clubhouse and held a meeting.  Board President Wabnitz participated by telephone.  I am told some member were also present for the meeting.

It appears this was actually a regular Board meeting but notice was given as a teleconference.  I apologize for the snafu.

Your webmaster will soon be travelling for the remainder of the summer and fall (travel trailer) and often will lack internet access.  From time to time I will have internet access while travelling and can “catch up” on ‘web work’ then.  Thank you for your understanding.  /s/ Bob Hagness

This is the first year assessment period for a fiscal year that starts July 1st and ends the following June 30th.  The dues for this “fiscal year” went up from the dues for the 2020 calendar year.

Everyone has the option to pay just the first payment (July 1 – Dec 31).  If you previously paid the entire amount assessed and due last January, your statement should show a credit against the new assessment amount equal to half of the full payment previously made.

You also have the option to pay the entire amount due for the 12 month period, and in that  case you also have a credit against the amount due if you previously paid the entire amount assessed last January.

If you have any questions or note any billing errors, please contact by email at deeannhoa@gmail.com and please do not contact your webmaster using the “contact us” form!!  In fact, all communications not related to the website should be sent to deeannhoa@gmail.com – always.  Thank you.

There may be a chance to save some money on member insurance costs, on an individual basis.  Please read the letter from President Wabnitz and the report from Member Bonifas for the details.
