Break in on Marine View Drive

One of the residents on Marine View Drive had their property vandalized this past week. Be sure to secure property and increase your awareness of any persons within the community who do not belong here. Pay extra attention to any strange activities. This is the second breakin within the past couple of months. Let's pull together and do all we can to keep our community safe.

New Murals for Shorehill Cabana!

If you missed attending Saturday's workparty and community meeting, y0u really missed out! The weather was beautiful on the canal and although there were just a handful of community members in attendance, we accomplished great things and shared good quality time with our neighbors and guests.

• Keith scraped and repainted the fascia boards on the cabana.


• Corrine cleaned the bathrooms and helped cut the vegetation away from the roads.

Many helped with not only enhancing the appearance of our neighborhood but also ensuring we have good drainage this winter.

• Karen cleaned the storage shed at the cabana for the first time in at least 10 years. Looks amazing!



• Dennis weedeated, cleared ditches and sprayed all of Alta Vista!



• Brooke and Judy cut scrubs, ivy, tree branches, blackberry vines and anything else that needed cutting.



• Ron cleaned the ditch on Baja Vista and trimmed ivy and tree limbs.



• Karl and Tom pick up and hauled all the cuttings and dumped them.



• Pete of course cleaned our water reservoir so that we can all contine to have clean drinking water.










• Sandy and her mom, with critique from her dad and some help from the girls painted the beautiful murals you see in this posting for our cabana. They are in storage for winter but will be hung before spring! What a beautiful addition to our beach area! They will truly brighten things up and add an additional touch of class! Thank you SOOO much!
  



• Nancy worked hard at clearing vegetation while Jerry worked hard at repairing damage from vandals on their property.



• Barbara provided moral support and good food.



• Sally helped as always in making calls and making sure we had what we needed.

We blew the debris from the roads, had trees cut down at the water shed so they wouldn't fall on the reservoir, and concluded the day with an information-filled board meeting and a satisfying potluck. Thanks to all of you who joined us. It was a very good day!

The next morning Pete and Judy loaded up and hauled hundreds of pounds of junk and old cement from the storage shed to the dump! Thanks so much!

SPECIAL VOTE - DUES INCREASE

Over the past few years we have experienced significant financial impact due to two major floods and the need to repave our roads, replace our docks and maintain our water system. While we as a community have thus far been able to come together to meet the challenges through assessments, we have recognized for quite some time that our financial infrastructure must be updated to provide a more appropriate base to meet the current maintenance and growth needs of our community.

At the spring community meeting the board presented our proposal for increasing dues to begin to bring our finances in line with our needs. Our hope is that by doing this it will also minimize the need for assessments.

Please return your vote via email to gaylerobbins@juno.com or mail to Gayle Robbins at 11 NE Baja Vista Drive, Belfair, WA 98528 by August 10th, 2011.

Thank you for your vote.

PS - The permit package (county permit, SEPA and JARPA permits) for replacing our pier and docks has been submitted to all the appropriate entities. We anticipate hearing something back by the end of July. As we hear more we will let you know.

Hope to see you all at the upcoming community picnic on August 13th !

VOTE AS FOLLOWS:

____ I vote YES to increase dues to $400.00 per year beginning with the
November 2011 billing which is for 2012 dues. Credit will still be given for those who work at community work parties and to those 65 years and older. ($50.00 for each work party and to those 65 years and older regardless of whether they work). This increase will help us to build a more realistic financial infrastructure able to support maintenance as well as
unexpected crises situations for the community.

____ I vote NO to a dues increase.


Thank You!
