Trouble with Beavers

Posted on Facebook by Pres. Vicki Reinhardt...
The WAEPOA beavers are busy again threatening some of our roads again. We are working on the problem and ask people not involved to please leave the dams alone. If you have a concern please contact Vicki (pres) or one of the other officers. Thank you

First Winter Storm

Posted on Facebook by Pres. Vicki Reinhardt...
Hope all our WAEPOA neighbors have a safe New Years and a great 2016!!! We have a solid 10" of snow on the ground and the snowmobile trails and local ski resorts are all open for those wanting to come up for the holiday! Our roads are open and the downed trees have been cut up and removed thanks to a few of our residents!
Please use caution when roads are icy and watch out for snowmobilers. If you have inexperienced riders/kids riding please advise them to ride on the sides of the roads with the traffic not against it. Stay safe and look out for the other guys...

Happy fall! 

Our fall road grading took place today and our roads are in good shape going into winter :)

Buford had a problem with a silver toyota forerunner racing around him and fish tailing in his Newley dragged roads...

"Some person" really needs to grow up! He depends on these roads too!

Also anyone deer hunting (or has company here hunting...) please be respectful of your neighbors property lines and also be mindful of just how far your bullet can travel!

Stay safe and post pictures of any deer taken in WAEPOA!!!

Sad News

Posted on Facebook by Vicki Reinhardt...Dear neighbors... It breaks my heart to post this but Mike Brown was our neighbor before he lost his battle with cancer and many of you knew him and his sons. Jonathon Brown and Timber were killed Saturday morning and Timber's mom Vickie is is serious condition! Jon was 26 and Timber was 12.

Annual Meeting

Posted by WAEPOA President Vicki Reinhardt on Facebook...Our annual meeting was today. A lot of our usual faces were missing this year. Hope everybody's doing ok! Met a few new ones as well. Covered a lot of topics. The minutes will be on the website in 30 days. Lori Curtis (bull run) is our new secretary. Thank you to Susan Hobbs for your years if service!!! I am still president, Bob Hobbs is still Vice President, George Havens is still treasurer And our road committee remains the same also. I would like volunteers for a by-law committee. Please get a hold if me and volunteer smile emoticon a by law proposal was passed out today and input is being collected and considered. Buford Sherman was awarded the snowplow contract for the next 3 years. He did a wonderful job this past winter and we thank Buford and Renee! Anyone needing their drives plowed this winter keep Buford in mind! I hope everyone has a wonderful year here in our association. Please drive respectfully on our roads and inform kids/guests that we pay to maintain our own roads so please don't tear them up with 4wheelers/motorcycles, etc... It only hurts us! Another concern brought to our attention was people trespassing during deer season not wearing orange! Anyone traveling roads here during rifle season on foot, 4wheeler need to dress responsibly! We don't want to see anyone hurt!!!

Meeting Details

The following was posted by President Reinhardt in a response to a question from a member on Facebook... Jim at this time we do not have anything pending a vote. Any officer position nominations will be from the floor that day as no one has expressed an interest in taking an office. For sure we have to elect a new secretary this year as Sue Hobbs is resigning. The current treasurer wanted to be replaced last year but nobody would step forward and take an office then. Our Vice President is willing to continue as vice again. If ANYONE would like to be president that office could open up real quick too... Since our one meeting a year is always the same weekend on Saturday at 10 those who wish to attend plan to be there or give someone permission to vote for them like in the past. It's the best we can do because of the cost of mailings and not having association dues being collected anymore to provide for the costs of maintaining this association. The road assessment put on our taxes is not the same as association dues for conducting association business. This will be be a topic at this years meeting as well as re-doing our outdated by-laws so we can conduct meetings with the few people who show up. Since these topics will require a vote and a mass mailing we decided not to send a spring newsletter. It's not possible to accommodate everyone's schedules so all we can do is what is best for the association.

Spring Letter

The following was posted on Facebook by President Vicki Reinhardt...It's starting to feel like spring in northern michigan but Mother Nature likes the last laugh... Property owners that weren't hardy enough to spend the winter are starting to "appear"!!! Watch for sightings... Lol Our annual meeting is May 23 at 10am at the Nunda Twp hall in wolverine. We decided not to send a spring newsletter and will be sending one after the meeting instead. We have a few things on the agenda that will require a vote afterward and we won't have to absorb the cost of postage twice by doing this. Please tell your neighbors about the meeting and to check out or website and Facebook. Hope to see everybody at the meeting! We are also accepting snowplow bids until may 15 if you know of anybody. Have them contact me for details. 231-631-2209
