September 2009
To All M.L.P.O.S. Members
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday, September 26th, 2008 at 2:00 pm in the School Gym. Please plan to attend. This is the time to discuss important issues regarding our neighbourhoods, our community, our marina, our tennis courts, our roads, our quality of life, and last but not least, to vote for your new Directors.
The past year has been productive. I know each Director will be reporting on their accomplishments and areas of involvement at the AGM, however, I do want to specifically acknowledge their individual contributions. Gerry Roy attended a variety of community meetings on our behalf. Jean Deschenes kept us in line and on target with the budget. Val Butcher never complained about writer’s cramps even though we kept her going at a great clip. She also submitted articles for the Pender Post on our behalf so that we could maintain communication with our members. Wally Foster, Peter Testemale and Gordon Resvick, have managed the marina slip assignments, looked after requests for casual moorage, and answered the incredible number of enquiries regarding availability. Both Peter and Gordon have provided invaluable support for Wally. This year, we were able to accommodate 16 new boats from our waiting list and our revenue is close to $1500 over budget due to casual moorage. Brian Starkey and his crew continue to maintain and upgrade the docks. This year $100,000 was spent on completing the breakwater. A huge amount of rock was dumped and arranged with great skill in order to raise and buttress the pile end of the breakwater. Mike Wiley has organized and has been involved in the tennis programs and continues to maintain our first class tennis facilities. Our Office Manager, Joanna Rogers has efficiently and effectively taken on the management of our office and daily operating responsibilities.
The object of MLPOS is to represent all property owners in matters affecting their property or their life style in Magic Lake Estates. By being aware of the variety of needs of our community and articulating those needs and priorities, we have developed a strong and respected voice on North Pender Island. On your behalf, we have continued to correspond with the Magic Lake Water & Sewer Committee identifying and articulating a variety of issues and concerns regarding the quantity, quality, and security of our water supply. We have also requested clarification from the North Pender Islands Trust Committee regarding jurisdiction, i.e. who is responsible for land use around our water supply – Buck Lake and Magic Lake. Communication is ongoing with the Ministry of Transportation regarding the safety of our roads for pedestrians and cyclists as well as vehicles.
With amazing talent, perspicacity, and genuine love of plants, Judy Teague and a whole league of volunteers have transformed Mouat Park, since last spring, into a lovely natural habitat. Barry Potvin generously provided the landscape plans and John Christensen has kindly allowed us access to water.
This completes my third year as your President and I want to thank you for allowing me this privilege. I have been extremely fortunate to work with a wonderfully supportive and experienced executive and staff. I also want to express my sincere thanks to all the volunteers who have dedicated their time and energy to making Magic Lake Estates a good community. Thank You!
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM on Saturday, September 26th!
Sincerely,
Sue Bailey, President
