Update From The Office

Hopefully we have seen

the last of old man winter. A

few of our residents are

dissatisfied with the plowing

of the roads. When the snow

is under four (4) inches only

the main roads are plowed,

due to the accumulation in

recent weeks it has been

decided to clear all the roads

as best as possible. Cull-De

Sacs are the most difficult,

due to having no where to

put the snow without

blocking a driveway. We do

the best we can. Breakdowns

have been a problem

throughout the winter along

with ware and tare on our

staff. Many thanks to them,

some have spent the night at

the maintenance building for

emergencies.

During the major cold

snap the heating system

froze up at the Community

Center. We replaced the

electric heater that wasn't

working at all with an oil

filled base board that is more

efficient both dual heat/Ac

unit failed and are also being

contracted out for

replacement. Many thanks

to Director Dan Hunton and

Joe McCarry AKA Moose for

their assistance to

maintenance for resolving

this problem.

Think Spring!

Boat Registration will begin

on Saturday April 04, 2015.

The cost to register is $10.00

for the year. Boat Racks are

$60.00 for the bottom, $50.00

for the middle and $40.00 for

the top, this fee includes the

registration of the boat.

Please remember there is

only one boat per rack.

Committee will be stocking

the lake on Friday April 17th

Looking for something different,

interesting and family friendly?

Check out Geocaching it’s a

modern day, real-world, outdoor

treasure hunting game using GPS

enabled devices. Participants

navigate to a specific set of GPS

coordinates and then attempt to

find the geocache (container)

hidden at that location.

All you need is a GPS on your cell

phone and free app. or go to

www.geocache.com and create a

profile and you’re off. It’s that

easy and free!

They do ask that if you take

something from the cache to add

something of equal value and sign

the logbook in the cache. A little

trinket or small toy is all, nothing

valuable.

It’s a great way to share a Sunday

afternoon with your family and

teach your kids about geography

and technology without them

knowing.

10am - 4pm, and Sunday,

May 3 from 10am-4pm. Free

admission to the Expo for the

public with a donation of

non-perishable food items for the

Easter Bunny Photo Craft

Make this Easter bunny photo craft to turn your child's face into a funny, framed art project.

You Will Need:

Mini frame (you can find 6 mini frames for $1 at most dollar stores, or cut one out of cardboard, or cardstock)

Craft foam or felt for the ears and teeth

Pom-poms

Craft glue

A full-face photo of your little silly

What to Do:

To make the ears:

1. Cut a square of felt, fold it in half and cut 2 ear shapes at the same time. Do the same (but a bit smaller) for the pink inner-ear part.

2. Leave a bit of space at the bottom of the ears so you can attach them to the back of the frame.

To make the nose:

1. Cut a little triangle-ish shape of felt to glue the three pom-poms on. Cut a square for the teeth and glue to the bottom of the frame, then

glue the pom-pom triangle to the frame, allowing it to float into the open space of the frame. This way, you don’t have to glue the pom-

poms directly to the photo in the frame.

2015 Towamensing Trails Property Owners Association Board Elections

Towamensing Trails Property Owners Association will be holding its annual Election for three (3) seats on the

TTPOA Board of Directors. Any member in good standing is permitted to run for a position on the Board. Elected

Candidates will serve a term to expire in July 2018.

To be a candidate, you must fulfill the following requirements:

1. You must be a TTPOA member in good standing

2. You must be bondable

3. You must submit an official petition containing the signatures of at least 25 different individuals who are mem-

bers in good standing (Petitions will be mailed to you), we encourage you to get more than 25.

4. Only one member from a family may serve on the Board at any time

5. Any officer or representative of a corporation developer, realty firm and/or contractor conducting business with

TTPOA shall not be eligible to run for the Board due to the potential conflict of interest (please note that, should you

be elected, you will be required to sign a confidentiality statement in order to serve on the Board)

To be a candidate, you must submit your intentions in writing on or before 12p.m. noon on Saturday May 09, 2015

and fill out your Bonding Paperwork. Official letter and petition will be mailed to the qualified candidates, by the

office no later than May 11, 2015.

When we sat down at the our pub-

lications meeting, we spent a lot

of time talking about what to in-

clude for articles and the topic of

the annual election continued to

come up. Telling people how to

run is one thing, to ask them to

consider running is another. So I

said I would share why I think it’s

a good idea to run for the board, at

least it has been for me.

For me, deciding to run was a no

brainer. We were new to the com-

munity and I wanted to meet peo-

ple and find out more about what

goes on around here. Sure you can

talk to your neighbors and people

at the club, but what better place

to get information than directly

from the board. So when I saw the

sign for an open positon, I put my

hat in the ring and surprisingly,

was chosen to serve out the term.

I knew from previous experience

it was going to be like working a

part time job along with my full

time one. So why put up with the

aggravation? Because I knew that

I was doing what I could to ensure

that my property value was main-

tained and we opened up commu-

nication more to the community

and the board.

Well, it’s been exactly what I ex-

pected. We don’t all agree, but we

each get to voice our opinions.

And the decisions we’ve been

making ensure that our communi-

ty will continue to thrive. We have

also added a section to the website

for community updates so we can

let folks know what’s going on in

the community.

I know it’s not for everyone, but if

you’re thinking of running for the

board - go for it. If not, stop by a

board meeting to hear for yourself

what’s going on in the communi-

ty, we meet the 2nd Saturday of the

month at 10:00 AM at the Teepee.
