From You r Boa r d Of Dir ec tor s BY ANNETTE DOERR As a community we’ve been through a lot over the past year. We continue to thrive, despite the challenges that were thrown at us. We’ve made significant improvements in both the Lakeside Pub and Grill and on our golf course. We also have several projects planned for down the road, including a revamp of our playground area. Investing in the assets of Pocono Farms aids in keeping your home’s value higher than if you lived in a non-amenity filled association. (You can view the home valuation study we had done a few years ago, on our website.) Although staffing remains a struggle in some areas, our management team is doing a phenomenal job keeping things moving forward. If you’re looking for employment, call Member Services to see if we have openings that may fit your skill set. Our committees have been stagnant over the past few years, hopefully now that we’re allowed to meet in person, we can get them back up and running. Our committees are where the work gets done and the changes get made. I urge you to get involved. As Ghandi said, “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Committee applications can be filled out on our website or picked up in the Member Services Office and run August through July. On a personal note, this month wraps up my term as a Board of Director for Pocono Farms. It has been my honor to serve this community. It’s a beautiful thing when there are more residents running for open positions on the board, than the number of open positions themselves. It shows people care about the community we live in, and that’s exactly what we need! I wish everyone good luck in the election, I urge you to get your ballots in before the due date to make sure that your vote counts. We need to keep Pocono Farms the wonderful, safe, amenity-filled community we all want to live in.
