Dear Neighbors & Guests, Welcome back to two of the most exciting months at the lake – July & August! We wait all year long for this special summer season to re-connect with friends, unwind, indulge, and watch our children make lifelong friends at the lake. There is no better feeling seeing residents and guests smiling as they walk down Miller Drive, whether for an early morning family walk to the beach, or going for their daily $2.22 at the Jubilee.

Another nice feeling is knowing that the investment you made in choosing Pocono Pines as your home, was an excellent one.

The real estate market keeps improving, as a number of homes are being listed for sale, and sold within only a few days, which confirms that “Lake Life” in Pocono Pines is in high demand, and here to stay. Many customers that I meet while enjoying the lake for many years, have decided that they are outgrowing their current homes, and that either “buying up”, building new, or remodeling will make their time here even more enjoyable with family and friends. I hope this summer is your best one yet, and I look forward to assisting you for all your real estate and home building needs. We are truly blessed living here!

Sincerely,

Michael Dembinski Michael Dembinski 570.807.4434

Winter came to us in a very different way.

Spring was unusual too.

I hope we have a very nice summer.

Because there is always a lot of nice things to do; There’s swimming, boating, and hiking.

There’s tennis, golf, and biking.

It’s summertime; let’s do everything we can.

Take a walk down by the Lake Naomi dam.

This is a very nice spot.

All you renters, visitors, and owners; Don’t forget to stop at the Mountaintop.

From me to all of you, enjoy the time here in the Poconos.

It’s summertime here, I’m sure I’ll see you again next year.
