Dogwood News

In our annual August meeting, we will be electing two members to the Board of Directors to replace those whose terms are expiring. If you are interested in running for a position on the Board, please sign up in the clubhouse no later than July 31, 2009.   Maintaining the full membership of seven people on the Board is crucial to managing the affairs of Dogwood Lake Campground and the Dogwood Lake Lot Owners Association. It’s tempting to just sit back and wait for others to sign up to run for the Board, but think where we would be if everyone did that.   A turnover in membership makes for a healthy Board. It can bring forth fresh ideas, new perspectives, and additional skills. It also gives others the opportunity to become more involved in Dogwood Lake Campground.   Every lot owner in Dogwood Lake Campground has a responsibility to at least consider becoming a Board member. Please give it some thought. Thank you.

Thank You

Fundraiser Luncheon: Thank you to all who attended the fundraiser luncheon on May 23 for an electric gate.  We had a really great turnout.  Thank you to all the volunteers for all your hard work.  Join us on Saturday, July 4 for our next Fundraiser Luncheon on the Terrace!!  

Wood Cutting Day:  Wood cutting took place Saturday, May 30, and it was a great success, even though we worked in the rain part of the day. Since a couple lot owners donated wood from trees they had taken down, we had plenty of cut wood to split and did not have to spend time cutting down trees.   We are very appreciative of those who volunteered their time, energy, and equipment Saturday. A special note of thanks goes to Andy Adams for leading the activity. The following people worked tirelessly to ensure we have an ample supply of firewood for use by all Association members: 
  Andy Adams (Andy used his truck to tow the trailer for hauling wood)
  Dale Copeland (Dale supplied a splitter)
  Greg Ebbinghaus (Greg supplied a splitter)
  Chris Foran
  Jerry Heppermann (Jerry supplied a chainsaw)
  John Mendenhall
  Jack Oakley
  Terry Owens
  Robert Regan (Rob supplied a chainsaw)
 
Special thanks also goes to Nancy Beeson and Bonnie Sing for preparing food for the hungry loggers. The following people also participated in making lunch a success:  Linda Foran, Debbie Adams, Marsha Oakley, Lynn Ebbinghaus, and Sally Copeland
 
We extend our thanks to Barb and Jimmy Starks for use of their dump trailer for hauling wood.
