- Clubhouse Attendant (Part Time)
Message from the Board of Directors President (July 2026)
Peak summer in Northern Michigan is in full swing, and it is wonderful seeing so many members and families actively enjoying our amenities, trails, and lakesides. With the dry, warm weather, water levels across our community trails have completely settled, and Lake Huron continues to maintain stable, seasonal averages.
Infrastructure & Facilities Update:
Our contractor for the 2022 Hailstorm was unable to complete the gutter and downspout installation due to mechanical issues with their gutter machine. Once repaired, we are expecting them to complete this work. Our primary focus has shifted to the gym HVAC replacement, we have a contract in place with PIE&G to establish the required 3-phase power service needed for the new, high-efficiency ground-level air handling unit. Regarding the North Bay Beach House, we have a new contractor secured to install the mini-split heating and cooling system at a comparable price point following the previous vendor’s closure. We expect this to be completed by the end of August.
Pool Replacement & Fitness Center Project:
The Request for Proposal (RFP) process for our new Pool Replacement and Expanded Fitness Center has reached an important milestone. Following the distribution of the Architectural Bid Set on June 15th, contractor bids were due on Friday, July 17th. The Board along with the Pool Committee are currently in the process of evaluating the returned bids to determine the best path forward.
Financial & Governance:
Following our Annual Meeting and Board Elections on June 27th, I want to thank all property owners who participated, either by mail or in person. The membership has elected the following individuals to serve 3-year terms expiring in June 2029, Beth Greene, Mike Grochola, and Jennifer Mathis. As a reminder, the Special Assessment for the Pool and Fitness Center was due on July 1st, 2026. While collection rates for both annual dues and the special assessment continue to progress well, our administrative team is actively following up on overdue accounts. Timely payments save the Association significant legal, administrative, and postage fees—funds that are far better spent maintaining our shared assets.
Recreation & Volunteering:
The Natural Resources Committee’s Summer Trail Challenge remains open throughout the season. If you haven’t started yet, pick up a challenge sheet at the Clubhouse and head out to explore our updated trail items. Additionally, our regular amenities—including pickleball, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, and tennis (portable net available)—are fully operational.
If you are interested in shaping the future of our community, we are always seeking dedicated volunteers to serve on various PIHA committees. Please reach out to any Board member or Committee Chair via the contact information on the PIHA website.
Upcoming Community Events:
• Every Thursday Evening: The Shoreline Seanachie lakeside gathering at the Grand Lake Beach House starting at 6:00 pm (Free live local music)
• August 15th, 2026: Member Appreciation Breakfast and Future Planning Workshop at the PIHA Clubhouse. Breakfast is served from 9am to 10:30am with the Workshop following
• August 18th, 2026: PIHA Board Meeting (Campers Pavilion) at 6:00 pm
• September 7th, 2026: 638 Labor Day Bridge Walk at 11:30am

Best regards,
Michael Grochola
President, PIHA Board of Directors
