President’s Message October 2015

27 Nov

Hello Everyone

Well it’s now October. Boy this year has gone fast. We have the Halloween party coming up this month which will be on Halloween. And also have the Christmas party coming up. Hope we have a good turnout  for each.

Also please be mindful of the speed limits on our roads since the kids are now back in school. We have had a couple of incidents out here( thankfully not involving the kids).

Also for members please note: we have had several incidents reported of the gate being left open. Please the gate has to be locked after entering our park ( I’m talking the side gate also) our insurance possibly won’t cover any incidents that happens at the park (Unless it is a private function which has the authorization to keep the gate open) and we don’t want that to happen.  Also the park is for members only and we have had incidents reported that people are not members are using the park. It is posted on the main gate to please keep the gate locked at all times. Please read your park membership form for the rules.  If you have any questions you can either contact me or Dana the vice president.

Thanks in advance for your support of our community

Hello Everyone

Well it’s the beginning of August. It’s almost time for school to be starting again. Please be mindful of the children that will be standing along the roads waiting for the school bus. Also please be mindful f the posted speed limits.

We had a great turnout for the July 4th party Much thanks to Shawn and Ana for coordinating the party. Also thanks to Suzanne Arnold and station 77 for a great parade. Did meet a lot of nice people that evening who signed up for the association. As of the last list that I received we are now up to 122 members. I believe that is the most we have had but I could be wrong. If anyone has a different figure from any other year  would you please let us know. We have the Halloween party coming up (date is under the calendar of events in the newsletter)  any help with this event would be greatly appreciated and even though it is still summer can’t forget we have the Christmas party also. We are able to have these events due to membership in our association so thanks to everyone who has joined or is considering joining for your support.

Also many thanks again to Pete and Melissa Webb for donating the flagpole to the park. What a great thing to for our park. I think it really looks great there by the boat ramp.

Also  please be mindful and pickup after your dogs

Also there is one on the side of the pavilion near the playground and one at the beach nearest the basketball court. Also thanks to Joe and Denise Case we will be having some of the lot near the water line cut down to a manageable level.

President’s Message – November 2014

12 Nov

Well welcome to everybody

We had the Halloween party on October 31 st this year. We had a really nice turnout. I would esti- mate a turnout of close to two hundred people. Everybody had a great time guess the kids went trick or treating on marine drive and then all came to the park. Much thanks to the Worcester’s for

coordinating this event.
The next event will be the Christmas party. Hope to have a great turnout for that

Just a reminder we will be having the wine and cheese membership drive the middle of January. This is where people are nominated for the IOP board. We meet once a month the first Tuesday of the month and the meeting normally lasts an hour. It would be really great to see some new faces on the board.

Also please be mindful of the speed limits as there are a lot of children and bicyclists and so forth on the streets so be careful.

Thanks in advance for your support of our community

President’s Message – October 2014

16 Oct

Well welcome to fall

Just want to mention we lost another long time resident who also moved away Bill Kirk. He had been on the board several times and was a great asset to the community. He helped a lot of people get their houses out here and will be missed.

Well its now October and we have two more parties left for the year . the Halloween party and the Christmas party. Hopefully we will have a great turnout for both.

Also as noted there is still not a secretary for the association. We really need for people to volunteer to help out the association because without volunteers we would not be able to have the events that we have and the way of life that we are all used to.

Also the end of the year is only 2 months so please keep in mind that in January will be the membership drive where the new board will be nominated. Would really like to see some of the new people that have moved into the neighborhood volunteer to be on the board. After all the board meeting in only one Tuesday evening a month.

Also I believe the triathalons are thru for this year. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped out for these events. They help provide income for the association for park maintenance and functions and such.

Also thanks to Michael and Jennifer Land for having a party at the party. They provided everything theirself just to be neighborly and extend a welcome out to everyone. We did have a nice turnout

Thanks in advance for your support of our community

President’s Message – September 2014

8 Sep

Hello Everyone

Well here it is the middle of August. All of the children went back to school on Monday.

Even though it is mentioned otherwise in the newsletter I would to ask to please obey the speed limits. The high schoolers at the end of my street almost got all wiped out by a truck leaving and almost ran them all over. So please try and slow down.

Also as noted there is still not a secretary for the association. We really need for people to volunteer to help out the association because without volunteers we would not be able to have the events that we have and the way of life that we are all used to.

On another note not sure how many people knew him but we lost a good friend and a longtime resident of the IOP. Even though he moved away years ago he is still considered as such due to the efforts he put forth for this community. We will be having a memorial service at the park (asked for by his wife) on August 23.

Our next event coming up will be the Halloween party. I really hope that we see a good turnout.

Also the end of the year is only 4 months so please keep in mind that in January will be the membership drive where the new board will be nominated. Would really like to see some of the new people that have moved into the neighborhood volunteer to be on the board. After all the board meeting in only one Tuesday evening a month.

Thanks in advance for your support of our community
