WCA Owner/Tenant Contact Update Form

(click here)

Maintaining current contact information helps the board and its committees reach owners and tenants with important board announcements as well as during emergency events such as a water/gas main break or to report storm damage to vehicles or other property.  Each owner and paying tenant should complete a separate form.  Non-resident owners should enter their address at the end of the form.  Note: You do NOT need to have a Google account in order to update and submit the form.

FALL WORKDAY
Sat. October 1 (9:00- 12:00)

Contact: Karen Wilkens, karenewilkens@yahoo.com

Cooler weather should be coming soon (I hope) and that means we’re gearing up for our fall Cluster workday!  This year the workday will be on Saturday October 1 from 9 – 12, and the rain date will be Sunday the 2nd.  Please mark it on your calendars and come on out!

We’ll meet at the marina for a Cluster provided breakfast at 9:00 and then break to work on projects.  We’ll meet back at the marina at 12 to share some lunch and revel in all that we accomplished.  The Cluster will provide drinks and sandwiches of some sort or hot dogs and buns with the fixings, if someone volunteers to bring a grill.  We ask that anyone who would like to join for lunch, please bring a dish to share – dessert, salad, side dish, whatever you can dream up or whatever your specialty may be!

Here are this year’s projects and the tools needed for each one.  You’ll want to have gardening or work gloves for all of these tasks.  Look over the list and pick a couple of favorites.  We’ll divvy up the work the morning of.
