Volunteer of the Month!

Not only has he served on the Board of Directors and Architectural committee, but he really stirred up a scare this year when he drove for the Halloween Hayride. No thank you graphicmatter what the need, Norm Meaders is there to lend a helping hand to residents of all ages. Thanks Norm for the use of your vehicle and your agility to swiftly navigate our streets so that our Trick-or-treaters could fill their bags a plenty, making it loads of fun for both kids and adults!


Board

Ballot Results: 208 ballots returned – 5 ineligible (3 for dues and 2 in ballot envelope only).
Removal of Board member: 241 yes; 87 no – 328 total
Reorganization of Mailboxes/Park: 219 yes; 124 no – 343 total

We received a letter from Little River Water and Sewerage Company Inc. requesting the land under their lift station to be deeded into its name. It found that this had not been done in the beginning of the Windjammer Village Property Owners' Association. It is required by South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) that in order for the company to operate and maintain the lift stations that the parcel of land designated for its use must be owned, and therefore deeded, in company's name.

Bud Fongeallaz has spoken with Fred Kisner, executive Manager, for Little River Water and Sewerage to do all the surveying, writing of deeds and any other details without any cost to us. Bud Fongeallaz will be in contact with them during this time.

All this should be done in time to have a ballot for mailing with other ballots for the Annual POA meeting in June.

This land transfer needs POA approval according to our By-laws. This will not impact Windjammer Village in any way. It may be of benefit by reducing our property tax and storm water tax. Bud will report progress as the process goes on.

No meetings in December – Happy Holidays everyone.

Publicity
A big thank you to John Pazoga who has volunteered to be the Circle Captain for Jackson Circle. Please consider signing up for email. The email has a link to a web page that has the same information on it, and this month will have a link to a pdf file so you can print out the exact copy that is hand-delivered. The Circle Captains are still walking around nearly 225 copies each month. We had one new sign-up this month!

Recreation
Recreation had a successful Trick-or-treat hayride this year. Enough children to fill two wagons showed up. This year, to cover the entire neighborhood, we started each group at each end of the neighborhood until we met on Franklin Circle. Thank you to the homeowners for following the lights on/off request that was very helpful to our trick-or-treaters. Our October meeting had 3 new junior members attend. We have been asked to have a meeting on the weekend so that more junior members can attend. We are considering this for the December meeting and will post day and time in clubhouse breezeway when we know. We are not having a November meeting due to scheduling problems. Recreation has been throwing around several ideas such as: planning some field trips to area events/places, reworking space at playground for better utilization, adding wall in tennis area for wall ball or tennis practice. If you have any suggestions or ideas, let a recreation member know so that we can discuss it at our next meeting.
Lacy Paulussen and Kathleen Tatarinchik

Social
The social committee has had a much needed rest during the month of October. We are now working on the holiday activities which are as follows:

Boat regatta will be Nov 28th at the dock with wine, apple cider, cheese and crackers and cookies. We need volunteers to help with the cookies. Please sign the sheet if you can help.
We will decorate the Christmas tree in the clubhouse on Nov 29th at 3:00. Please join and help us. Christmas dinner will be on Dec 12th at 5:00.

There are sign-up sheets on the bulletin board. In order to be counted for the dinner you will have to pay ahead as this will be catered and I don’t want to order food that we do not have money ahead of time. Thanks for your help with this. We will have lasagna, Italian bread, salad, and dessert. At each of these events you may bring an unwrapped toy and or canned food to be donated. Also for the dinner bring a $1.00 gift for the entertainment. If you have any questions about any of these events please notify me or someone on the social committee. Hope all of you have a good safe holiday season. Pat Horne
