FROM THE BOARD...AND AN EVENT!

 I've been asked by the board to post information concerning the upcoming annual meeting of our HOA in August.  At least two board members will be resigning, so if anyone is interested in helping out with the board, let them know.  The link to the board members and how to contact them is listed HERE, so feel free to ask away as to what's entailed with being on the board.

No doubt Jeff and Keith carry the board weight of dealing with road work, paving, repairing, etc.  But there are positions like treasurer, secretary, etc. that also help our HOA tick.  As long as we can staff within our own HOA, we can avoid having to do what so many HOAs around here now do, which is to hire outside organizations to run the HOA.  That might sound convenient, but our VERY modest annual dues would surely soar (double to triple) if we had to go that route...and for multiple lot owners, that would be a significant hit in the wallet. Our HOA fees are some of the lowest in the region...let's help keep it that way.

Every first Friday from May through December, downtown Waynesville has an "Art After Dark" gallery stroll.  Well, July's is this evening, and specifically at the Haywood County Arts Council store front (86 N. Main Street), they're holding a reception for their new exhibit "Water" which is up through the end of the month.  I took several of my photographs to go on display, but I have no idea what is actually hung...but I'll be there at the reception which runs from 5p-8:30p this evening.  I can only HOPE they hung one of my faves, a bull elk lying down in heavy frost in Cataloochee Valley (hey, frost is simply frozen water!):

Too, in walking my pups in the grassy area beside Ingles off of Russ Avenue one morning, there was a dandelion pappus worthy of a cell phone shot with dew drops all over it.  I converted it to black and white and zoomed in...all taken with my Samsung cell phone:

So, that's all the news from Lake Wobegon for now.  Cheers.
