TLCA Annual Volunteer Party

There’s an old adage that states, “love makes the world go round”, but in Tanglwood Lakes, the many committees and volunteer groups are the control panel or heart of our wellfunctioning community. The original planners, through the covenants, by-laws, and rules and regulations, created a sound property owners’ organization that relies on the dedication of its volunteers. From the elected Board of Directors and officers, the Committee chairs and members, the social and subcommittee groups, the Office staff and Community Manager, Safety Officers, and Maintenance Crew, the TLCA family assembles every year for a Volunteer Appreciation Holiday Brunch. This year, as in previous years, the local restaurant, The Dock, was the location on the first Sunday of December. All of our committees were very well represented and appreciated the opportunity to socialize. The Tafton Fire Company Chaplain, Dave Guccini, offered an opening prayer of thanksgiving followed by a welcome and thank you to the Board and committees from President Sandee LaPorte. Mrs. LaPorte remembered some volunteers who we lost in the past year including Rhoda Levine, Kathy Jerge, and Warren Hildebrant. Board Member and 2nd Vice President Bob Burns presented a thank you gift to President LaPorte to show appreciation for her recent service to the community.

has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Univest Insurance both in coverage areas and support staff.

We will be working with a local forester regarding an assessment of the possible impact of Gypsy Moths for next season. We have been fortunate over the last several years that the assessment indicated minor defoliation and no spraying recommended. There are funds set aside in the budget should spraying be necessary. The membership will be informed once we have the survey and the report and recommendations.

Please make sure that you secure a permit prior to starting any work on the outside of your property. The office can assist you in securing a permit to ensure compliance with our Rules and Regulations.

Respectfully,

Ralph E Graf, Community Manager
