I wanted to give everyone an update on happenings before our February 14th Meeting – while winter is typically quieter, we have been busy and making progress on several projects and tasks that are very time consuming but necessary to build a stronger association. Also, we had a great turnout Sunday, February 8th at our first Members’ Open House. The next one is April 4th.

I am happy the previous Board made the decision to have a FT employee. I am very pleased with the initiative & quality of Tony’s work.

• I have received more Snow Plowing compliments – Tony’s response time and accuracy is great. With record setting snowfall, having a FT Caretaker is critical.
• The Clubhouse Basement is under construction & looking great. Past Secretaries didn’t want to work there, but we are making it an inviting, safe, organized, clean area /  work environment so Warblers Secretaries don’t always have to work from their homes.
  • The hallway was packed with clutter and junk. As mentioned at the prior Board Meeting, Tony & I went through the entire basement & identified Save vs. Trash and removed multiple truck loads of junk.

As noted at the last meeting, Chantel & I planned to organize the files, but after starting we both decided that we can wait until the basement is complete – we decided to go after past owed monies and organize Quickbooks.

• Chantel & I have now met three times (Robin our former Secretary joined our first meeting to help us too) for hours each time sorting through Dues / Monies owed. Chantel organized Quickbooks for better visibility and is sending Past Due notices soon.
• Chantel went to the County Building and met with Kate, the Crawford County Treasurer to better understand Tax-Sales and getting what is owed to Warblers. Also inquired about Liens and finding the best way to get people to pay.

This truck drivetrain runs great but it is not street legal. We are looking into costs for repair.

Stay warm out there!
