Presidents Message December-January

Greetings!
I hope everyone is doing well and that you are enjoying the cooler weather!
Thankfully, we have made it through another hurricane season with very little impact. I appreciate those
who assisted with clearing debris from the roads and neighboring yards. I would also like to thank Tim
Eshleman for helping to clean up the boat ramp and Zachary Burr from the Boy Scouts for making benches
for the park.
I hope everyone had a great time on Halloween. We have some wonderful events coming up. Our
Christmas Party will be at the park on December 15th. As always, Santa and our friends from Fire Station
77 will be there. If you would like Santa to give a present to your child, please drop off a SMALL
wrapped gift to the Aikins residence (14432 Conifer Dr.) by the end of day on December 14. Please
be sure to write their name on the gift with a black marker so that it is easy to read. Just a reminder, this is
a member only event. Additionally, our Membership Drive and Chili Cook Off will bewe on Saturday,
January 18. Our current members can renew their membership and we would love for new members to
take this opportunity to join as well. See the membership drive and payment information on pages 2 and 3
of this Newsletter. Look on Facebook for more details about upcoming events.
We will be accepting new bids for the park services, newsletter, website management, lawn care, etc.
Please submit your bids via the IOP website (https://isleofpines.org by the end of January
