Presidents Message January 2021

Hello IOP Residents,
I’d like to start off by thanking all of those that helped with the Christmas Dinner. It was a great event
that pulled together friends, neighbors, firetrucks, ambulances, and Santa and his elf arrived in the
back of an old truck. There was a well-attended boat parade a couple days prior to the Christmas
Dinner. My family enjoyed driving around at night to look at an increasing number of houses with
Christmas lights. Nice job IOP!
As we kick off the new year, I’d like to bring to your attention that the chili cookoff/membership drive
will take place on Jan. 23rd and will display some of IOP’s award winning chili. If you think you make a
mean chili, then make a pot and enter the chili competition during the membership drive. Sign up on/
before Jan. 23rd to receive a membership discount. More information is located on the front page of
the newsletter. If you are interested in becoming a board member or have questions on the bids, this
event will be the time to ask questions and sign up.
Bids for park upkeep (bathrooms, lawn care, website maintenance, newsletter editor, and newsletter
delivery) are open for submittal. If you are interested in any of the opportunities, please visit the
website (https://isleofpines.org/community-stuff/), print and fill out the forms, put in an
unmarked envelope and give to any board member. Submit all bids at the membership drive or any
time before February 2nd
.
Here’s to a Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2021 will be a great year for the IOP.
IOP-Stay cool, safe, alert, healthy, friendly, small and slow down.
