From Your Board of Directors

BY STEVE BUNKER

As you read this, we still have some good summer weeks ahead of us to enjoy our wonderful community. I am sure by now many of you have already enjoyed our beautiful new pool. What a great enhancement for the residents of Pocono Farms. Speaking of improvements, I hope you have had a chance to check out the new playground. I took three of my grandchildren there recently and I was very impressed by not only all the new equipment, but also the overall landscaping that was done. All these upgrades were done without having to borrow any money! Great job by our management team!

In July we had our annual meeting. Unfortunately, we only had 51 members attend so we could not have an official meeting. For those unable to attend, your community continues to be in solid financial condition. Our management team has plans to continue enhancements to our community in the coming year. In the coming months you will receive specifics as to what projects will be started and completed in 2023/2024.

We continue to need members to join committees! These committees give important feedback to the Board and Management that help guide future decisions. Please consider volunteering for a committee to help Pocono Farms continue to move in a positive direction.

Finally, we have many activities planned in the coming months for people of all ages. Please check them out on the website, Weathervane or the emails that are regularly sent out. Please plan to enjoy these various events with your friends and neighbors. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

From the General Manager

BY DAVE TIMKO, CMCA, AMS, GENERAL MANAGER – PFCCA, INC.

I would like to thank those members who took the time to attend the Annual Meeting of PFCCA, Inc on Saturday July 15th. Although a quorum was not met, and no action could be taken on any of the agenda items, those in attendance did receive an update from the Board President – Annette Doerr and the Board Treasurer – Bill Weimer Jr. The board also fielded questions from those members in attendance.

Those candidates who received the most votes for the 3 open positions on the board for the next three-year term were announced. I would like to thank all four candidates who submitted their applications to volunteer their time serving on the Board of Pocono Farms.

As a reminder, the committee applications are due in August. If you are interested in serving on a particular committee, please fill out your application and return it to the Member Services office by August 15th. The new committee term starts in September and runs through August of 2024. Committee meetings are usually one hour per month. Applications are available online and at the Member Services office.

Thank you to all of our members and their guests who came out to support the 4th of July festivities. We received many positive comments regarding our staff, the events/activities, the Food & Beverage, golf operations and of course the great fireworks display.

With the 4th of July falling on a Thursday in 2024, we have not confirmed a date for our fireworks show. Please monitor your emails as we know that our members like to make their plans to attend the fireworks show. As soon as we confirm the date with the fireworks display company, we will share it with you.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
