Board
The first monthly meeting of the new BOD was held on August 18th and what a blast it was. A large crowd was in attendance to see the newest board members in action. Reports were given by each committee and we learned what new and old business was being done in the village. This was all followed by a member’s interaction where many members were given the opportunity to be heard by the BOD. To get your voice heard and learn what your BOD is doing for you, come to a meeting. Times and dates are posted on our website at windjammerpoa.com/meetings.htm

The Board is working very hard on making our Village safer. We have had recent incidents where juveniles were causing many members to be fearful for trespassing and mischievous behavior. We have given the Horry County Police stickers to come into the Village any time and patrol the entire area. We hope this is a giant step in the right direction.

We are still in need of Committee Chairpersons and members of committees. We are very thankful to those who have volunteered for positions already. We have had a great turnout of members for our meetings and hope this continues.

We met with members of Communities concerning the Canal issue. We will have a second meeting in Conway on Tuesday, August 25. The Stormwater Advisory Board is suggesting only 2-3 representatives, and tells us that there is hope that the recommendation will NOT proceed with the canal. I will let you know those results. Last, we have hopes that the BOD will try our best to resolve any issues that come before us.
Sincerely,
Rosanne Pazoga

We would like to thank Judy Panarello for volunteering to be our new Secretary of the Board. Judy took the notes at the 1st meeting, and we appreciate her efforts. We would also like to thank Melissa Basehoar for volunteering as Chair of the Nominating Committee; Kathleen Tatarinchik and Lacy Paulussen as co-chairs of the Recreation Committee; Eleanor Fulmer as chair of the GAC; and Joanne and Arnold Abercrombie as co-chairs of Hospitality Committee. Please call them if you’d like to be on their committees.

Architectural
The architectural package was revised 7/09 and is on the forms page on the web.

Beautification
Our Maintenance contract has started on the upkeep of the entrance. Crews have been out mulching, weeding and cleaning up the front to help the Village put its best face forward. Beautification, with members of maintenance who volunteered to undertake the Circle Center revamp, have now received bids on reworking the size of the centers and adding new signage. These will be presented to the BOD for decisions.

Budget and Finance
Melissa Basehoar is not only BOD treasurer, but also the Chairperson for Budget and Finance. She loves crunching numbers and expresses the desire to share this with other members- if you are interested in deciding how to budget and spend our Village dollars, Melissa could use your help on this committee. Please call her.

Compound
There are many sites that need mowing. The Compound will be checked to see if all rules are being adhered to. If not, a notice will be sent to owners of items, and given 10 days to respond or a letter will be sent with a fine.

Legal
The Board is meeting with the lawyer on several issues and will report at next meeting.

Maintenance
We are working with a new contractor for the pool, on a month-to-month basis, as the old contractor did not renew for the upcoming year. We have had some issues but hope to resolve them shortly. The smaller pool has revamped filtration pumps and is working nicely. Maintenance continues to collect brush on Fridays, so if you clean your yard over the weekend, please do not place yard refuge at the roadside before Thursday. Watch for sign-up sheets for fall clean-up projects.

Recreation
We will be holding our first meeting Thursday August 27th at 7pm at the clubhouse. If you are interested in finding out what we are about, come and attend.

Security
Reminder: please walk facing traffic on our roads, especially Little River Drive. If you have to cross over to the other side for a little bit, please cross back over when safe. We have had an instance of someone getting bumped, and reports of children walking in the middle of the road. Please remember: 20 mph on Little River Drive and 15 mph on circles. The Horry County police are now going to make daily, random drive-thrus.
