Secretary

resignation was effective December 31,2014. He stated that it had been an honor
and privilege to serve our community for the past five years plus and wished the
Board much success in our future endeavors.
Our next step is to find a new Trustee.

confidence to do what I do. He helped me a lot.
Don: He helped me as well and got me off to a good start.
He helped us all.
Liz: I would like to submit my 2015 budget for Office & Administration. Based on
the expenditures of 2014 for office supplies and the yearly rental fee of $911.64
for the Lake storage area, I came in at $2995.00 for the year. I am again
requesting budget of $5000.00 due to not being able to guarantee the saving
received from Staples rewards and rebates of over $1000.00 in addition to
multiple sales savings. I am also anticipating added expenses due to additional
mailings concerning updates on our Dam repair, changes to our By-Laws and
possible Newsletters to our Members which will increase our costs to office
supplies.
Don: We saved a lot on purchase of the new computer for the Association as well.
Liz: I would like to make a motion for $5000.00 budget for Office and
Administration for 2015.
