PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The S-bag Express is back and soon the rest of us part-timers will be heading back too.
Over the summer, some of you may have been following my “President’s Messages” on our new website. If you Hayvn’t used the site yet I hope you will find slresort.net this season and join the other 366 residents who have now logged in nearly 10000 times, in just 9 months!
I won’t try to recap the entire summer but for anyone still wondering. Several of us testified in a discrimination hearing, in late June. We are still awaiting a ruling in that case. That was the same day that we had an armed fugitive on the loose in the Resort. No harm done.
We did get approval from the DEO for our Revitalized Covenants and all our owners should have received a copy of our “Governing Documents”. Then a cH allenge against the DEO ruling was filed by one of our owners. That is to be held on Sept. 26 so we may have a ruling on that by the time that you read this. We will see where we stand when that is resolved.
It seems the justice system moves with glacial slowness but attorneys still charge by billable hours. People are entitled to seek justice through our legal system and we all value that protection but it is unfortunate when we are forced to spend such a substantial amount of our budget defending ourselves against cH allenges from our own SLohA membership. Remember last year’s budget surplus? We will need it.
But it’s not all gloom and doom. Our staff and management have been hard at work:
painting, pruning and polishing in order to have things in ship shape when we all arrive. From the front gate to the Post Office and the storage area at the back of the Resort you will see the results of their labor. Well done everybody!
There is always lots to do as we get geared up for the fall and winter activities in the Resort. The various clubs will be looking at reorganizing and setting their events calendars and the Board of Directors will again be able to meet face-to-face to get the all-important committees functioning so that our various plans and projects can move ahead.
I made an appeal for help in one of my summer messages and I would like to repeat that appeal here. We have lost a number of our hard workers over the past year and we have important positions to fill. If you are a newer owner or someone who has never before served in the leadership of one of the clubs or committees or run for a position on the Board of Directors, think about it. It is only with the continued effort of us all that we can ensure that S-bag will continue to be the active and progressive place that we have come to love.
Nunsee and I plan to arrive about Nov.1st. I can’t wait to get there.
