Next Meeting is the Annual Membership Meeting to be held on August 22, 2024 } The 2024/25 Proposed Budget, Elections nominees for Vice President & Treasure and Proposed Bylaw & Community Rule Amendments will be placed on the ballot.
The Treasurer’s report was provided for the months of May and June.
Leach field replacements – 5 priority leach fields are in the process of being replaced.
Trudell wastewater engineer study – The outcome of the field study is completed and Trudell will provide the results this coming week.
The Maintenance Committee will be purchasing a vac water pump to assist with keeping the water shut-off areas cleared and clean. The stump grinder needs to be sold. It is more practical for the co-op to sell it rather than keep it and purchase equipment that will better serve the needs of the committee.
Grants – All documentation has been Board approved and submission will take place in the very near future.
5th-anniversary celebration with DJ Wayne – The event was a success and all had a great time. Cotton candy was a huge hit. The mosquitos tried to eat us alive but we all survived. : )

The Co-op is mandated by the State/EPA to perform a water pipe inventory to inspect the pipes for lead and galvanized iron that connect from the ground to our mobile home. You will receive an email from PMA for the first group of homes that will be scheduled for this inspection. Each road/home will be notified as the scheduling continues. The skirting will need to be removed and once the inspection has been performed the skirting will be replaced. Please be patient this is a large undertaking with 250 homes needing to be done. The inventory inspection is scheduled to begin in mid-August and should be completed early September weather permitting.
A warm welcome to our new neighbors: Jennifer & Nancy J} Radford Lane & Sabrina and Joel S} Brighton Lane

Roger Williams University Associate Professor of Artichecture will be conducting a field study of the unique features of our lovely park.
