A Note from PIHA’s BOD President – February 2023

Hello Fellow PIHA Members:

Our February board meeting was well attended with 8 members present. Concerns of the property owners included snowmobiles and/or ATVs on the dunes and beaches.  Also, there was confusion regarding the PIHA trail system – can we have a separate trail system for ATV/ORV’s and pedestrians. We have a very active Natural Resource Committee chaired Matt Ulrich. This committee will discuss these member concerns and bring resolutions back to the Board. Their goal is to protect the area that we all appreciate and still allow members to enjoy the outdoors in a responsible way.

As we have been informing you over the last couple of months, our new data system is 100% up and running! The first change involves the current dues invoice which are mailed out March 1^st. The new invoice will have additional information and if your email is on file, that invoice will be sent electronically so watch your inbox. The next change will be when you pick up your new membership card. The card will now be a plastic card with a bar code for scanning which has your membership data on it. Look for more information on this new process on our website, Facebook and e-splash.

An update on our storm damage from May 2022. An agreement has finally been resolved for needed repairs. More information will be forthcoming on a schedule for repairs.

Time is running short for members to consider running for the Board of Directors. There are 3 positions open, each requiring a 3 year commitment.  If you are interested, review the Bylaws Articles VI, VII & VIII and the Rules/Policy Book Rules 22 to 32. You can find that information on our website under the ‘owners’ tab.
