Motion passed to collect annual dues in the Spring, rather than fall to

have all monies (dues/slip maintenance) coming into the Treasurer at

the same time. Fiscal Year will end on Dec 31st and begin on January

1 of every year.

Talked about membership drive ideas, dropping the price of annual

dues to gain more membership, looking for ideas to get people

interested in their neighborhood. Possibility of Sunday afternoon

‘neighborhood walk group’, meet at Cass Lake Boat Launch on

Sunday afternoons to get to know your neighbors, become aware of

community outlots and locations. Further information will be posted

on website.

Talked about switching Elizabeth Lake Slip area with Beach area,

more room for current slip holders at current beach area? (no ‘pinch

points’ from neighboring docks?). And….lake bottom is better for

swimming at current slip area. Bob (Slip Manager) to assess areas.

Mark Gliha spoke to the group about a possible interest in CERT

(Community Emergency Response Team) members from the

neighborhood. Mark to get information to John to post on the

website.

Attendance was low as usual, of aprox. 480+ homeowners, about 30

showed (very disappointing). Hoping to be able to get back to

Haviland Elementary for meetings, the school was temporarily

unavailable due to security and budget constraints. Maybe this will

increase attendance. Those that come to support us are appreciated!
