BIG KABOOM RESULTS Posted 7.09.12
Thanks to the valiant efforts of 11 volunteer homeowners, the HOA concession stand yielded good fundraising results, especially for our first effort in this type of venue:
Total Sales $862 Net Profit $472.15
There were 620 cars in the vicinity, and we had a mad rush in the last 45 minutes before the fireworks started. Sales of novelty items, food & drinks were all good, and we learned much about what this type of crowd likes... kids want flashy, blinky things! Pity the poor parents who had to make their kidos choose "only one"! Lastly, we have a nice inventory of items that can be used for various events throughout the remainder of year.
It was hot ... really hot ... but the fireworks were amazing to see amidst an almost full moon ...
Thanks to all of the volunteers who worked the stand and to neighbors who stopped by to make a purchase - this was a worthwhile effort to be considered again for the future!
BIG KABOOM TONIGHT! Posted 7.03.12
Stop by the HOA tent at the Big Kaboom tonight - we'll have cold drinks, snacks, frozen treats and fun patriotic items for sale - especially ones that flash and blink for the young at heart! All proceeds go to the Dogwood Creek Park fund. We will be located in the parking lot on the right side of Hwy 280 before you get to the Chelsea Park entrance - it's a great place to view fireworks!
Thanks to the following for donated items: Walmart (Chelsea), Costco and Winn Dixie (Chelsea).
Happy July 4th to all! May God Bless and Protect the USA!
ANNUAL DUES INVOICE Posted 7.01.12
The invoice for annual HOA dues was sent today via email; non-email residents will receive a mailed invoice this week. A copy of the invoice can be found on the Paying HOA Dues web-page and also under Treasurer's Report.
The fiscal year just ended on June 30th was one of big accomplishments! Membership is now at an all time high and your board continued to exercise excellent expense control, both resulting in a modest budget surplus to be announced in the next newsletter. Several initiatives were launched or are cur-rently underway, including the new website, increased and more communication efforts, new land-scaping on the entrance island and the kick off of the Dogwood Creek Park project.
Fundraising activities are now on-going for special HOA projects, and a section has been added to the annual invoice if you'd like to include a donation with your dues payment. Annual dues cover the basic necessities and maintenance, so donations are important for the continuation of special projects - projects that benefit us all in our home investment and the desirability of our neighborhood.
Many thanks to everyone who has been so generous with their time and financial support in the past year ... we really do have a wonderful community!
