PUBLICATION OF WINONA LAKES PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION President's Message By Jeff Reichl
Greetings fellow Winona Lakes residents! I hope everyone is happy and healthy as we battle through this pandemic. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a few updates as we continue to improve Winona Lakes! Although many businesses and organizations struggled with staying afloat during the pandemic, Winona Lakes has been improving some of our infrastructure and remaining strong. We have reached a point that our staff can adequately run the day-to-day operations of our association. Throughout the pandemic, we kept our office open and our maintenance staff out and about in the community addressing the roads and other critical repairs. Our Board of Directors continued to meet virtually from the first month of the pandemic to ensure that our association didn’t skip a beat. We also took the opportunity to improve on various assets, such as the remodeling of the clubhouse, office, indoor pool, roads, and other common areas. Our current Board of Directors is committed to remaining focused on repairing and maintaining our critical infrastructure, such as our roads and the Clubhouse Drive bridge. Our office staff continues to do an outstanding job with collection of past dues, which provides additional revenue to repair our infrastructure! By improving our infrastructure and amenities, we will ensure that Winona Lakes will continue to be a premier community to live in. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome the many new homeowners who have recently moved into Winona! We look forward to seeing you at events, the mailbox, and/or around the community. We also encourage all residents to get involved in the community. Owner-members can join committees and assist with improving the various aspects and functions of Winona Lakes. There is an application on the Winona Lakes website www.winonalakes.org. You can also pick one up at the management office, or call and one can be emailed or mailed to you. With your help we can make Winona Lakes even better! I thank you for your commitment to Winona Lakes, and look forward to serving as your President to continue to improve the place we call home!
