A Note from PIHA’s BOD President – November 2022

Hello all PIHA Members,

WOW! As I write this, I see snow falling and the LIONS winning!!! What is happening? Just 3-4 short days ago we had 70 degrees wear your shorts weather. Now the Lions have won 3 games and we have snow!!! I had a feeling that our wonderful fall temperatures would come back to bite us but can anyone explain the Lions ‘winning’ streak?

Anyway, our November 2022 Board Meeting had one member present and a guest speaker. I’ll remind you that we do not have a December meeting and will start 2023 with a meeting on January 14th at 7pm.  All are welcome to attend.

The Board spent quite a lot of time getting updated on the condition of our pool and pool facility.  A local engineer completed a courtesy assessment and presented his findings to the Board. He also presented a very basic ‘pie-in-the-sky’ rendition of a new pool facility. Rest assured that our present facility is stable.  However, we do need to begin the process of examining options – everything from replacement to design financing to increased overhead costs. As I previously mentioned, the Clubhouse, Beach and Pool Committee have created an Exploratory Pool Committee. They are responsible to begin the process and report to the Board monthly. Once that committee has data and options, details will be shared with the membership and a survey will be conducted. Please be aware that this is a 3–4-year undertaking. The Board will keep you updated on our findings and involve your opinion as soon as feasible.

As far as the Association goes, things continue to be quiet. Except for the Social Activities Committee! Several events are planned over the next month or so:

• Potluck Thanksgiving Dinner:For those members that don’t have family close by and would like to celebrate Thanksgiving with others, please visit the clubhouse to get your ticket and sign up for your side dish. The deadline to sign up is November 18th.
• Christmas Tree Lighting and Caroling:Saturday, November 26th at the clubhouse at 7pm.  Hot Chocolate will be provided and join Dave Larkin for a holiday sing-along. Ornaments for the tree are always welcome.
• Breakfast with Santa: Saturday, December 17th 10am. Pre-registration is REQUIRED so drop by the clubhouse to sign up. We will need the name and age of the child and the number to adults accompanying the child as well as phone/email info. Crafts are also planned for kids to enjoy.
• Christmas Party Potluck: Saturday, December 17th beginning at 5pm at the clubhouse.  Bring your favorite potluck dish to share and join holiday celebrations with friends in our community.

Reminders will be posted to our Facebook page, on the PIHA website and via email blast for all events.

As we begin the whirlwind of this holiday season, the PIHA Board wishes you safe travels, stress free cooking and shopping and wonderful times with family and friends.
