A Note from PIHA’s BOD President – November 2023

Hello all PIHA members!

Well, Thanksgiving 2023 is in the books and hopefully you were able to enjoy it with family and friends.

The November 11 board meeting was well attended by members who shared their ideas and concerns with the board. We appreciate your input.

The restoration from the May 2022 hail storm is underway with work on the beach houses and campground. The work on the clubhouse is stalled due to a couple of issues. Increased regulations for replacing the heating units on the roof is challenging Jacob to consider other options. At this time, he is working on moving the units indoors which will increase efficiency of the units. However, this change is causing a delay for approval and implementation. the second delay is the pool area. Multiple options are being discussed.

Renovation of the additional meeting area above the main lobby is in progress. The carpet has been removed and replaced with laminate wood flooring, the walls and ceiling have been painted. The stairs are almost complete.

The 2^nd Annual Thanksgiving Day dinner at the clubhouse was a huge success with over 50 members attending and tons of awesome side dishes. A huge thank you to Vickie Fields, Dave Larkin, Vicki Schulte and Rob Crook for preparing the turkeys. Added kudos to those members that helped clean up and put tables/chairs away.

The Social Activities Committee is pleased to welcome Brandy Shook to the committee. The Committee has a number of activities scheduled during December:

December 10th – Elf, the movie. Christmas is the time to watch holiday movies. ELF will be shown at the clubhouse activities room on Sunday, December 10 at 5pm. Big screen TV, popcorn and cotton candy! Bring your favorite floor chair to watch this crazy movie. Kids and adults are welcome. Non-members must be accompanied by a member.

December 16th – Breakfast with Santa will begin at 10am. There will be pancakes and sausage, crafts, cookie decorating, coloring and games! Don’t forget to bring your wish list for Santa! Advance sign-up is required at the clubhouse for children and accompanying adults.

December 16th – Annual Christmas Potluck Dinner in the activities hall beginning at 5pm. Bring your favorite dish to share and join your fellow members to celebrate the Christmas season.
