Notes from the President:
We held our Annual Meeting at the Moose Lodge in Waite Park on October 28th where we enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by the Moose Lodge staff. 43 members attended the meeting which commenced at 6 p.m. Re-elected to 2-year terms were Vice-President Luann Schaefer and Treasurer, Judy Braegelmann. Newly elected were Phase 1 Representative Rosie Lommel and Phase 3 Representative Wayne Lenzmeier who will each serve a 2-year term of office. We said good-bye to Diane Schmitz as the outgoing Phase 3 Rep and to Jean Lauerman, long-time Phase 1 Rep.
We wish both well in their well-deserved retirements. At the meeting, we had a wonderful time conversing with our neighbors and friends, getting caught up on the affairs of the day. Our hope is increase attendance at the annual meeting because it’s the place where important decisions are made concerning the future of WCHA. We hope to see you at next year’s meeting!
Secretary’s Note: Thank you for returning the insurance update form that was included with the September newsletter. If you haven’t already done son, please call your Phase Rep with any changes including the insurance information.
Notes from the Groundskeeper Luann Schaefer:
It’s hard to believe that winter is here once again. We are contracted with Ehlinger for 6 snow removals: the sidewalks along your home, and the sidewalks around the Association, the mailboxes and the fire hydrants. That means we’ve paid up front for 6 snow removals, but we’ve budgeted for 9—anything after that is extra. We’ll have driveways plowed after 2 inches or more of snow. They’ll plow within 24 hours after it stops snowing and shovel your sidewalks. The Association sidewalks, fire hydrants and mailboxes will be done within 48 hours after it stops snowing. I know the general rule is two inches or more of snow will be plowed, but sometimes there are variations to that. I will notify the Phase Reps if there’s a variation. So, if you see that your driveway is not plowed, you can call your rep to find out why. There is no exact science when it comes to snow in Minnesota.
Please be patient. Remember that it does get icy. If it’s slippery on your driveway be careful when you take your garbage and recycling cans out. Please stay safe out there this winter and avoid any falls when possible. Happy holidays.
