HAPPY HOLIDAYS - volunteers needed, and exciting news as we head into the new year!

Before the year ends, we wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for a fantastic Christmas Party at the Community Center.  Great food, great friends, appreciate all the volunteers who decorated and cleaned, and special thanks to BB Morse for the entertainment.  As the subdivision continues to grow, it’s events like these that keep us connected as neighbors. This was one of the biggest parties ever, and also one of the best!
 
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO PACK UP CHRISTMAS – Sunday, January 12th
We will be UN-decorating the Community Center on Sunday, January 12th around noon.  Volunteers are needed to take down the tree, box up the ornaments, put away the lights and poinsettias, and rearrange the chairs and tables.  Bring your own beverages and we will order pizzas for the volunteer crew.
 
EXCITING NEWS FOR 2020 –Lakeside Beach Civic Association increases owner support
Over the past 10 years our little subdivision has grown like crazy.  We’ve moved from a sleepy little lake-house community to a subdivision of full-time residents and families. In 2020, the Civic Association will launch a new relationship with a management company to help bring us into the 21st century and take some of the day-to-day workload off the board and our part-time employees who also volunteer much of their time.  Working under the direction of the board, the management company will handle many operational details – including sending out invoices, collecting assessments, issuing gate clickers and pool passes, completing resale certificates, reviewing building and construction plans and investigating covenant violations.  They will also have a website where you will be able to conduct all your Lakeside Beach business (if that’s what you’d like to do); and they will assist us in overseeing two very important projects – the Road Repair and Maintenance Project, and the rewriting of our Covenants & Restrictions.
 
OPEN HOUSE IN FEBRUARY – Meet, Greet and Eat
We are still working out the details with the management company and know there will be many questions.  We are planning an Open House event in February (date to be determined) where residents and property owners can meet the management company, learn about the benefits of this transition and ask questions.  Check your email and the bulletin board for the date and time after the first of the year.
 
Wishing you all happiness and healthy in the coming year!
 
And if you are in need of a few New Year’s resolutions here are a few we might suggest:

• Enjoy the beautiful Lakeside Beach waterfront
• Lend a hand to a neighbor
• Participate in a yoga class at the community center
• Meet a member of the board, come to a monthly meeting, volunteer with the Civic Association

 
Our best to you and yours,
