PIHA News Update – November 2024

It’s already mid-November and the year is winding down. Not sure where the time has gone!

The PIHA Board is grateful for all the work the PIHA employees have done this year. They have worked hard to get us through the transition of a new Executive Director and are now decorating for the upcoming holidays. You are all very special. Thank you!!

Here’s some news to keep you updated on activities in our Association:

Friday, Nov 22 at 5PM is the last day to sign up for Thanksgiving Dinner at the Clubhouse on Thanksgiving Day. Doors will open at 3pm on Thursday, Nov 28 with dinner served at 4PM.  When you sign up, you will be given tickets to enter the building and will need to register to bring a side dish to share. Turkey and gravy will be provided. Please be aware that the clubhouse is not open on Thanksgiving so you MUST have a ticket and enter through the side door.

Saturday, Nov 23 the Natural Resources Committee will be having their monthly nature walk. This event will begin at the clubhouse at 11am and is expected to end around 2pm. The walk will be 3.9 miles. Light snacks and refreshments will be available after the walk. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing – the event will be cancelled in case of rain.

Don’t forget the Christmas tree lighting event at the clubhouse on Saturday, Nov 30 at 7PM with caroling and hot chocolate.

Presque Isle Township is sponsoring the 2^nd annual Community Christmas Tree display.  PIHA will sponsor a tree if a group of members is willing to decorate the pre lighted tree. If you and a few of your friends would like to decorate the tree, contact Vickie Fields at 989-595-2759 so she can give you more details. The Christmas Tree lighting will be Saturday, Dec 6 at 7PM at the New Lighthouse Park.

We are aware that some members are having issues with the most current quarterly water invoices, mainly with those members that have multiple lots. Vickie Fields, PIHA BOD President, has been in contact with the PIH water and has requested that all late charges be removed. The Board of Directors is also in contact with Steve Lang to determine if any other avenues are available to correct this situation. We will keep you updated when we learn of any additional information.

We are excited to welcome Tim Supinger, our incoming Executive Director, to begin working with our Association beginning December 1^st!
