SPECIAL DELIVERY

From Your Board of Directors

by BRIAN CAVANAUGH

Not so long ago I can remember sitting in the clubhouse on a weekend in February watching through the window as an artist carved a sculpture of an eagle out of ice. It was Winterfest and the temperature outside with the wind chill was near 25 degrees below zero. The water bottles that he used to fuse the pieces of the sculpture together were frozen and the activities outside for the kids were limited due to the temperature. After the sculpture was completed someone suggested having a contest to see who can guess the date that it would thaw. I cannot remember when, but thank God it did thaw. I believe it is safe to say that we are finally into the seasons of the year that allow all the residents of Pocono Farms to truly benefit and enjoy the amenities that our community has to offer.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Neil Carlson, President Mike Elbert, Vice President Collette Houston-Ong, Treasurer Wayne Meyers, Secretary Director, Frank Milano Director, Brian Cavanaugh Director, Rich McCormick Director, Steve Bunker Director, Bill Weimer

With the winter being as harsh as it was, we did have to overcome some damage on a few greens of the golf course. After evaluating the course Adam, and the golf course crew have been diligently working to bring us up to par with the standards for the course that we are used to. As of early June I must say they have done an excellent job and the greens will only get better from now on. With the weather breaking and summer here it is great to have our outdoor activities in full swing. The swim team is formed and practicing for another successful season. The summer camp run by our recreation director Joe is set to begin and the Junior Golf Clinic and Junior Golf Camp run by our PGA pro Kyle Monahan is ready to produce some of the best golfers that Pocono Farms has ever seen.

Did you know that we have a Kayak club? Well we do and for information about it or any of the activities mentioned please call the office or stop by the pro shop. With all that Pocono Farms has to offer it is a great time to be a kid living here. Please take advantage of our beautiful facilities and amenities!

One of our most anticipated and popular weekend’s is upon us and as usual we will be having our Fourth of July fireworks show. This is always a great family event and probably the most attended social event of the year. Be sure to come out and enjoy the show on the beach, the fireworks will be Friday night July 3.

And don’t forget to bring your badge to this and all the events that we have.

Frank Milano Brian Cavanaugh Appointed as needed

Thoughts from the Manager

By Dave Timko

By the time this article is out for distribution, the voting issue(s) to be voted on at the Annual Meeting will have been mailed to you. Each year the Board is faced with many challenges.

One of them is whether or not to recommend a dues increase.

For the past few years we have been talking about bad debt and its impact on our operations and the services which are provided to our members. We have also discussed the cost to pursue the bad debt accounts. The Board feels it is time to place a line item in the budget where we allocate funds to file against these accounts.

We all know it is difficult to run 100% of the operations on 80% funding. We also know that the early stages of the collection process do not cost the Association a lot of money. It is when we

need to go to the next level that costs us money that we do not have. At 80% funding, we do not have excess to go after these accounts.

The Board understands that increases in dues are difficult for some. However, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing. Everyone needs to pay their fair share of the operations. We are at a critical point where we need to be more aggressive and a dues increase will allow us to place a line item in the budget to pursue these accounts.

You will see in your packet that a $50.00 dues increase will be presented for a vote at the annual meeting. Some of that will go to the increased operational costs. However, it will be the first time that there will be a specific allocation to allow us to pursue accounts in a more aggressive manner.

Crime Watch Activity Report

BY RUSS KELLY

Another month has gone by and the Poconos is alive with leaves, turkey, deer and assorted critters.

Those of us who have survived another winter revel in the spring and sunshine.

This past month we had sixteen drivers spend 120 hours traveling in and out of the cul-de-sacs and along the roads of The Farms. It is nice to see all the flowers and landscaped properties. It is not so nice to see the many unkempt lawns. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go everyone, get the place looking up to snuff.

After finding one of our friends ill and unable to communicate, we have asked the Administration Office to include, in the next mass mailing, a letter asking anyone who would like to bpagee called or checked on to contact the office. There are volunteers that would be happy to contact those who are alone.

Members of Crime Watch were recognized at their Appreciation Luncheon, held on Saturday, June 6th, for their hours of volunteer service to our community. Crime Watch is always looking for volunteer drivers. If you would like to become a driver please contact Russ Kelly at 570-894-4034 or Ed Aalbue at 570-894-8071.

Round by Round

BY A.J. ORAVEC

During a recent television interview with an LPGA Hall of Fame great, Betsy King, I listened intently to her response when she was asked how much did she enjoy playing with her old time pals and former rivals in the LPGA. Ms. King noted that she continues to enjoy competitive golf, providing sought after advice to the young up-and-coming LPGA members, and sharing a fellowship with all of the members of the LPGA. The remarks, which I respectfully paraphrased for this article, left me thinking about the members of our Pocono Farms Ladies Golf League. We too enjoy competitive golf games, we are willing to provide sought after golfing advice, and most importantly, our members are more than willing to support organizations and each other in times of need. And treasured above all, is the camaraderie we experience on and off the course whether we play at Pocono Farms or at one of the many other country clubs our members have the opportunity to play.

If you would love to play golf, enjoy friendships you could develop along the way and meet other female golfers who are members of other country clubs, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call our Pro Shop. Whether you are a beginner who would prefer to play in a 9-hole league, a more experienced golfer who is interested in an 18-hole League, or a working woman who would enjoy a late afternoon 9-hole league, our staff at the Pro Shop can provide you with all of the information you need in deciding which league is best for you.

Whatever you decide, our friendly ladies would love to meet and welcome you into our club and our ladies league.
