A Note from the President
I have been writing this column, as
President, for the past year, and each month it becomes more challenging to
think of something new to write about. We’ve all faced "burnout" at one time
or another. This brings me to the subject of the social events at Heritage
Pines. While we have always had dedicated, hard-working volunteers on the
Social Committee, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find residents to
chair a function. Fortunately, it seems we are never short on helpers, but
chairs are hard to come by. Many people question why there are not more
functions, and the answer is simple: we need people to volunteer to chair in
order to have a function. Many have chaired numerous functions over the
years, others are not physically able to do so, and some people prefer not
to be involved in any activities here at Heritage Pines. For whatever the
reason, we need to find a way to get things moving again. As you have all heard, the main purpose for reconfiguring the clubhouse is to be able to seat at least 30 more people at functions so that the lottery may become a thing of the past. Until the renovation is completed, we will have to keep using the lottery system to be fair to all. Morty will be keeping you all informed with the progress of the renovations through a monthly write-up in the newsletter. Any questions you may have should be directed to any Board member. It is much more reliable to go to a Board member and get a truthful answer than to listen to speculation from someone who has no involvement in this project. We believe that this renovation will not only maintain the value of our homes but be both beautiful and functional as well.
Looking forward to seeing you out and about,
Pat Schneider

Clubhouse Update The Board, with input from residents, is making progress with the plans for renovating the clubhouse. This is a complicated project that requires careful planning and strict adherence to the cost factors involved. Every effort is being made to accomplish our goal of modernizing the clubhouse to accommodate 30 to 40 more people at events and to update the kitchen and provide more storage space. There is no definite starting date for the project since the final plans have not been completed. Every effort will be made to conflict with as few events as possible. Updates on the project will be in each issue of the newsletter. Community Information Gourmet Dinner Group On June 13 the Gourmet Group met at Don & Audrey Duck’s house for a Canadian dinner.
