4th of July Celebration:   Rain could not stop our 4th of July celebration.  There was a great turnout to celebrate the 4th.  It included great conversation, dessert, and a big fireworks show.  You can see more in the gallery.  Special thanks to Tim Gass and  Kevin Lewis for coordinating the fireworks.

Monthly HOA Board Meeting:  There is not going to be an August 2025 monthly meeting.  The next  scheduled Monthly HOA Board Meeting is on September  3, 2025 at the Lake Pavilion starting at 7:30 pm.

Anderson County Burn Ban has been lifted on March 28, 2025.

Update on Maintenance of HOA Assets:   The following is a progress update through April on scheduled maintenance work in 2025:

• The Petro family were kind to donate a new electrical box and wiring for the Lake Pavilion.  Ken also provided the labor to install the box, update wiring, and added additional electrical outlets.    The Pavilion's electrical service is now up-to-date with current standards & regulations.  

• The chain link fence's poles and rails have been straightened and aligned in March.  It is not perfect but is an improvement.  This was a DIY project with a budget of $300 and actual costs of $291.  

• The repair of the pavilion parking lot erosion started in April.  This has been a combination of DIY preparatory work and a contracted excavator to deliver, spread and compact aggregate.  We wish to thank Larry Brant and JW Howard for donating aggregate material and for Jim Hallman transporting and spreading the volunteered material.   After looking at several bids, we selected Hometown Construction to deliver additional aggregate, and spread and compact the material.   We then completed the work with another DIY team that trenched a line from the fence to the lake and buried a culvert pipe.  Special thanks to Jeff Glenn and Layne Wells for their expert use of their tract-hoe and tractor, as well as Dave Eubank, Gerard Pearson and Mark Miller working on the ground.  You can see more in the gallery.

This project had an original  projected budget of $3,000 to fill in the parking lot rut as a DIY project, and actual cost will be just under $6,000.  The actual cost reflects increased material & labor cost over last year, and the addition of running a culvert pipe from the fence line to the lake.  

• The Dam Committee has collected 3 BIDs  to assess and repair the lake bottom valve.  The BIDs will be reviewed with the HOA Board and Gary Lutz to select a contractor and a plan to repair the valve.  Work on this project will likely begin sometime in July or August.

• The Dam Committee will oversee a DIY project to locate the Dam toe drain and assess for any damage and will likely begin sometime over the summer..  

We will continue to provide updates on the HOA maintenance schedule at our monthly Board Meetings.  You can also read about it in the Meeting Minutes, Treasurer's Report, and keep track of scheduled volunteer work groups on our Calendar.   As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to any Board Officer with your comments, suggestions, or questions.
