From the President
Will Spring ever get here?? Winter definitely is. I think we have handled it pretty well, I hope the rest of January, February and March are not nearly as bad as we have seen so far. I received the following email on Dec 19th while we were still getting our 20 inches of snow at Chesapeake Station: “The parking lot is a mess. A good chunk of the entrance is blocked, we are missing many parking spaces and the lot itself is a sheet of ice. Can we possibly get some parking areas cleared and some sand or salt laid down?”
Considering all the snow and then all the freezing weather I think things got cleared up very well. With the cooperation and effort of the Town Public Works department, our snow Removal contractor, Tim Modlin, and many volunteers everything got cleared in reasonable time. I would like to thank those with the equipment and the muscle that actually helped to move the large amounts of snow. One such volunteer, Mr Moody, a renter who has a really big truck and a really big blade, on his own, cleared snow for a couple of hours and put down some ice-melt. Your neighbors thank you so much.

Old Business
Regarding the bond insurance, Roland reported that Brenda has reorganized the Summit management handling of our business so that the requirements of Nationwide Insurance Company can be met in order to purchase the state-required bond insurance from them. Our regular association insurance has been continued with Nationwide remaining our insurer. Roland is waiting to hear back from Nationwide that all is in order to move ahead with the bond insurance.
