Preparations for our Annual Meeting have been underway since June. The budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 has been prepared, and amailing wassent on July 1, asking for volunteersto serve on our Board of Directors. All Statements of Interest were to be submitted by the close of business on Friday, August 1, 2025. However, due to the timing of this publication, we will accept additional Statements of Interest up to 4 p.m. on Friday, August 8, 2025.
Our Association operates with a seven-member Board, and each year it has become more difficult to obtain candidates to run for the open positions. This year there are three directors whose terms areexpiring—Sandy Funk, David Todd, and Betty Ingerson.
Please consider becoming a candidate. It can be very rewarding to contribute your services to our community. There is a need to keep the operations of the Association running smoothly in several areas—maintenance, lakes maintenance, architectural review, drainage and swales, long-range planning, communications, and deed restriction enforcement. If you have an interest, background, or experience in any of these areas, you may want to consider sharing your knowledge in this capacity.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. at the Burnt Store Presbyterian Church, 11330 Burnt Store Rd.,Punta Gorda, for our next Annual Meeting.
