ENCLOSED FLYERS Membership Directory Update
Thanks to the overwhelming vote of a concerned Membership, the two hundred and forty feet of waterfront property immediately adjacent to Club Beach on Lake Naomi has been reserved for Club Member use forever. Two-thirds of all Club Members cast their ballots on this matter and ninety-two percent of the Members voting voted in favor of preserving this property for current and future generations of Club Members. Thank you to all of the Members who took the time to read the materials and cast their vote. With the vote in hand, the Club closed on the purchase of the property on May 30th. Work began immediately on Phase One of the “Park at Club Beach” Project. Phase One includes the removal of dead and dangerous trees, the relocation of utilities, the dismantling and removal of the house and some limited landscaping. This initial phase of work on the Park Property will be completed prior to the end of June and the next phase of the project will not start until after Columbus Day in order that Members will be able to enjoy the new Park at Club Beach uninterrupted for the balance of the 2012 Season. On the radar screen for over twenty-five years, the acquisition of this waterfront property represents a real milestone in the Club’s History. Phase Two of the project will be completed prior to the 2013 season, just in time for the Club’s fiftieth anniversary celebration.
Club Continues to Move Forward
While it runs quite contrary to what would seem to many to be the way to proceed during these challenging economic times, the Clubs and Planned Communities that are thriving across the United States are the ones that are reinvesting in themselves. The current feeling from the industry experts is that if a Club or Planned Community is not moving forward, it is actually moving backwards. Standing still is not an option for Clubs and Planned Communities. But the reinvestment can’t be random, it needs to be planned. That is why the Club has been moving the Strategic Planning Process forward and why the Long Range Planning Committee is in the process of updating the Club’s Long Range Facilities Master Plan. The planning process takes into consideration what will improve the lifestyle and property values for the Existing Members, while at the same time planning for Future Members. Preparing for and having Future Members is of prime importance in the long term success of Clubs and Planned Communities. The nice thing at Lake Naomi – Timber Trails is that the Members have the final say. Thanks to the very strong support received from Club Members, the Lake Naomi Club has made significant strides in just the last two years with the addition of the Boat House Café, Boat House Deck, Duster Bar and Parking at Club Beach and the Lake Naomi Clubhouse; the purchase, renovation and reopening of the Mountaintop Lodge and the Mountaintop Lodge Coffee and Pastry Shop and most recently the purchase of two hundred and forty feet of water frontage and the development of the Park at Club Beach. Stay tuned as the Club celebrates the first fifty years and continues to move forward by planning for the next fifty years.
