The new CMEPOA board was seated at the annual meeting this past June. It has been a learning experience for us, as most of us are completely new to the board.  We are all volunteers and the POA depends on volunteers to keep our dues as low as they are. We are still in need of people for various positions and activities throughout the year. The POA sponsors an annual picnic, as well as 2 potlucks during the year. We also conduct 2 chipping days each year to help residents get rid of slash from mitigating their property. An annual Clean Up Day where the POA has dumpsters brought in also helps members in getting rid unwanted “stuff”. The success and low cost of these events depends on volunteers. 

 

This past year a few major projects have taken place. The Lake Magnuson dam project has been completed and the lake is slowly, but surely, refilling. Lake Magnuson, along with our buried water holding tanks, is an integral part of our water supply to help fight fires within the CME community.

Mail boxes have been purchased and placed at Lonely Fox. We have also installed lights and a bulletin board. Thank you, Al, Steve, and Bob for taking on this much needed project. Next Spring, the plan is to add more banks of boxes. The post office, not he POA, is determining how the mail boxes will be assigned. 

 

And, we finally succeeded in having the eye sore RV that was near Lake Magnuson removed from the subdivision. This has been an ongoing issue that started with illegal camping 5+ years ago. The removal of the camper was the last obstacle, and with the help of a resident, a person was found who pulled it out and towed it off.  We appreciate Valerie’s help in getting this done.

 

As we said, new volunteers are always appreciated. If you wish to volunteer in any way, please contact us via email at office@cmepoa.com
