January 2012 Newsletter

The board of directors of TBPOA hopes everyone had a very Merry Christmas and will have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2012

Next meeting date: January 10, 2012 7:30 Beacher’s Lodge

Look for the signs, just in case there is a date change!

The Board has decided to only hold quarterly meetings next year. The first one will be on January 10th, the other dates will be included in our next newsletter. Each quarterly meeting will be a “pot luck”.

At the November meeting new board members were elected and are as follows:

President: Paula Murphy
1st Vice President: Irwin Hall (Doc Hall) Doc is an attorney and Contractor.
2nd Vice President: Sharon McIlhenney
Recording Secretary: Rich Grubb
Treasurer: Charlie Novak


VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER

Wow! What a success! The dinner was held in the party room at Applebee’s and we still didn’t have enough room!

When the board saw all of our volunteers in one room it was overwhelming! TBPOA cannot survive without our volunteers! Being a volunteer isn’t hard…just decide what skill or talent you have to offer and let us know what you would like to do.

One thing I have noticed is that a lot of people don’t know that you are not supposed to put your trash out until Sunday after 6:00 p.m. If your neighbor is putting their trash out early, please kindly mention to them that it should not go out until Sunday night. This reduces the time animals have to get into the trash and spread it all over.

TBPOA CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!

This year’s Christmas Party was held at the home of Joe and Betty Fell. (It hasn’t happened yet….so I can’t tell you what a great time we had!) Joe and Betty are long time residents of Treasure Beach and were very instrumental in making TB the community that it is today!

CANAL COMMITTEE

The canal committee will be meeting in early January to discuss solutions to the extremely low water levels in some of our canals. If you or someone you know has experience in this area or has a company that dredges canals, please let me know as soon as possible.

ANNUAL DUES LETTER

As many of you know, the annual dues letter has been mailed. If you are a property owner and have any questions regarding TB, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 904-461-4356.

And……if you own property for sale in TB and you live out of town…..please call me if you would like to know the names and phone numbers of mowing companies that can keep your property looking nice while you are trying to sell it.

Thanks to all of you in TB who have been very supportive through the years.

From the board……HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


Paula, Doc, Sharon, Rich and Charlie

December 2011 Newsletter

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

TBPOA CHRISTMAS PARTY – 12/10/2011 – 6:00 PM – Beacher’s Lodge

January Community Meeting: 01/10/2012 – 7:30 – Beacher’s Lodge

Thanksgiving is on the way and will be over by the time you receive this letter. I hope everyone had a happy day with family and/or friends. Thanksgiving and Christmas are good times of the year to remember people less fortunate than ourselves. There are many organizations that need money and donations at this time of the year. Please think about supporting one of them with your donation.

Also…don’t forget that some of our neighbors in Treasure Beach are on social security or disability and may need some help.

CHRISTMAS PARTY DETAILS!!!!!!! CALL GISELA – 471-9496

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Don’t forget to purchase your party tickets from Gisela Prange for $5.00 each (such a deal!). Gisela needs to know who is coming so she knows how much food to order. This year our food will be catered by Woody’s Barbecue. No need for anyone to supply any food…..just your favorite beverage. All plates, cups, utensils, etc. will be provided. Coffee and soft drinks will also be provided.

We will have our usual gift exchange except this year YOU WON’T HAVE TO LET ANYONE TRADE WITH YOU!!! IF YOU PICK IT…IT’S YOURS! (Unless, of course, you don’t like it and someone wants to trade with you!) Please keep the gift cost under $10.00.

There will be music, singing, laughing and maybe dancing….

This Christmas Party is for renters and owners!!!!! Come one, come all!!!!


WALKWAY NEWS

Still pending……………………hoping to be settled by December 1st, 2011!

TBPOA IN 2012

The board has voted to make some necessary changes in the number of community meetings held and the number of board meetings held. These changes have (by now) been discussed at the November 15th community meeting. Details to follow.

ANNUAL DUES LETTER

Look for the dues letter within the next 30 days!

THE PRESIDENT’S RANT

I cannot believe it is near the end of 2011!!! Why does the time fly when you reach the “golden years”? When I was still working I can remember thinking……when will this day end???? Now that I am retired, I find myself thinking….how can it be 6:00 p.m. already? What did I get accomplished today? Is that normal?

I have to admit…I do like retirement better. As you all know by now, the November community meeting had to be changed from 11/8/11 to 11/15/11. That was because Ron and I scheduled our 10th wedding anniversary cruise! (OK…..I scheduled it and invited him to come along! LOL) It was kind of a last minute thing on Cruises.com. This year we splurged and went on the new Royal Caribbean’s ship The Allure. In my next newsletter I’ll give you some highlights of the ship. So far I only know that the ship holds 6300 people, has 6 different “neighborhoods”, and you have to reserve your show times on line when you book the cruise (or you may not get to see a show!) I wanted a room with a balcony…until I saw the cost…..so we settled for an interior room. But, our room overlooks “Central Park” so Ron thinks we will have a good time watching people being mugged and the police chasing down crooks.

Respectfully submitted,

The Board of TBPOA
