Hi everyone,
St. Patty’s Day Party
Many thanks to Mike and Jeana Krause for hosting a very fun party. It was very well attended with great food and drink and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you for generosity in bringing the community together for this event!
Alarm to Sound on Saturday, March 25th at noon
Big Elk Meadows VFD is hosting a MCI training Saturday, March 23rd, 2017, starting at 1200. The training should be concluded no later than 1700 and a BBQ will be held after. NCMC will be bringing a helicopter up to participate, so if you have not had an opportunity to train on preparing for or calling for an air rescue this would be a good opportunity for you. My training officer is asking for folks to participate in training as well as folks to act as victims so there is an opportunity for anyone to participate regardless of certification level.
Updates to the Directory
With the summer approaching, more members will be enjoying the Meadows. To be able to contact each other easier during the summer months, the directory will be printed in time for the Annual Meeting on May 27th. Typically, the new directory was available at the Labor Day picnic. If your information in the directory needs updating, please send these changes to Victoria at bemhoa29@gmail.com.
Important dates to Remember
Spring cleanup is scheduled for May 13th.
The Annual Meeting is scheduled for May 27th. Please add both dates to your calendar.
Work Order Form
If you wish to request work to be done around the community, please fill out the Work Order form and submit this to Victoria. It is attached in this email. An example of a work order that was submitted recently was to have the culverts removed from the Little Deer area. If you have questions, please contact Victoria.
Website Updates
The website is undergoing an update! It is being moved to a shared hosting account to allow for easier access and updates. It will also be migrated from a Drupal site to a WordPress site, which will be transparent to the members. A member sign-in will be established to safeguard the information about BEM. With the changes, you might see a minor interruption in reaching the website. If there is an extended outage, a communication will be sent containing information about the duration and when the site will be accessible again. We do not expect this to happen.
Many thanks to Tori Devore and Ryan Summers for their expertise and volunteering their time to make these updates!!!
Date Change for Next Board Meeting
Due to the Easter Holiday on April 15th, the BEMA Board of Directors will hold their meeting on April 8th at 9am in the Guthrie Station. All members are welcome to attend!
Happy Spring!
Your Big Elk Meadows Board of Directors
