SEPTEMBER 2014 - Bear · PDF fileJarrett, 5 Golden Bear Path. ... SEPTEMBER 2014 Offi ce Address ... 27 Malayan Sun Bear Path Lorraine Gallagher

Due to an error in my communication with the Bear Creek offi ce, the July-August issue of the Bear Facts incorrectly identifi ed John Cosgrove, 7 Golden Bear Path as the August winner of “Yard of the Month”. The correct winner was actually Louise Jarrett, 5 Golden Bear Path. Mr. Cosgrove was also given a $20 “Yard of the Month” gift certifi cate, along with my apology, as compensation for my error.

With our “snowbird” friends beginning to return from their summer homes and HOA Board elections fast approaching, it’s important to provide everyone with some key dates and comments:

September 20, 2014 - Creation of a Nominating Committee for the purpose of evaluating and selecting nominees for the position of HOA board members. Per existing HOA By-Laws, this committee shall be comprised of fi ve (5) HOA members in good standing.

November 10, 2014 - Creation of an Elections Committee for the purpose of conducting the election, verifying eligibility of voters, receive and tabulate votes (including proxies) and certify the results of the Dec. 10th election to the sitting HOA Board.

December 10, 2014 - Annual membership meeting for the purpose of electing HOA board members and voting on adoption of any by-law changes.

Volunteers for both of the committees are heartily encouraged to apply; however, the HOA By-Laws provides for appointment of committee members by the Board should there be no volunteers. Please contact me at (386) 492-7189 for additional information about serving on the committees or running for the board.

Elected Board members with terms of offi ce expiring Dec 31st of this year are: Priscilla Sanborn and Barry Ferguson. Appointed Board members with terms of offi ce also expiring are: David Allen and Richard Owen. With 4 of the 5 current Board members leaving offi ce, it’s extremely important that we get some current HOA members to volunteer for the Nominating Committee so we can move forward in the election process.

The next RAC meeting with park management is scheduled for September 9, 2014. Concerns, issues, etc. for discussion at the meeting can be delivered to me at 17 Polar Bear Path, sent via email: [email protected] or by dropping them into the HOA box located in each clubhouse.

Committee(ACC)

Thank you to all the residents who helped clean up clutter in their carports last month. The improvement was very noticeable after touring the community again and very much appreciated.

To help expedite resident improvements to home (exterior) and yard, we encourage you to pick up an “Application for Plan Approval” at the Sales Offi ce. We have had a large amount of active applications this summer. Thank you for taking the proper steps to improve your home’s appearance.

Manager’s BlogOver the summer we had the opportunity to renovate a section of the horseshoe facility by Clubhouse #2, upgrade some of the critical drainage areas, improve the irrigation system in several key zones to improve water pressure and add refl ectors on Bear Creek Path medians for better safety at night.

Two housekeeping items to remember:

1. The mowers cannot properly and safely mow under the trees (fruit, etc.) unless you keep them trimmed up.

2. Please pick up after your dog whether it’s in your own yard or elsewhere. It is not fair to the lawn crew to just leave it in your yard.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Fall is a great time to list your home if you are planning to relocate. Stop by the Bear Creek Sales Offi ce to see exactly how we can assist you in this process.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Enjoy your community,

Dennis Ahearn, GM

RecyclingPlease DO NOT put any more aluminumcans by the back gate.Only put them in the cans locatedin the clubhouses or in theClubhouse #1 parking lot bin.

And a special thank you to the M&M sisters, Valerie and Patty, who gave so much of their time to the Tiki Hut. Also, a thank you to Marylou Allen who did the Tiki Hut scheduling. One of our residents, Dick Owen, purchased a new grill for the Tiki Hut. A huge thank you to Dick for his thoughtful, generous donation. Also, I want to express our sincere appreciation to Lee Holmes for shopping around and getting us a great deal on a CD player and a receiver. Thanks so much Lee. When the Tiki Hut closes for the season the Social Club will have an Appreciation Night for all who volunteered.

Thank YouIt seems so strange to not call Bear Creek home after nearly 15 years. Thanks to everyone who made our time in Bear Creek pleasant.

Patrick & Mary Jo Dimarco

Thank you, all our friends at Bear Creek, for your prayers, cards, and caring for Tom during these past 3 months. Tom loved living in Bear Creek these past 25 years. He enjoyed bowling, shuffl eboard, his fl owers, and his many friends. By going back to CT, he was able to visit with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Although his body was invaded by cancer his mind was great. My children and the Hospice nurses helped me each day to make his days comfortable and fi lled with joy. Thank you all, especially our neighbors: Margie, Lorraine, Fred and Patty.
