The pool will be opening this weekend. Reminders: Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the pool area; no minors in the hot tub without an adult. Large parties are not allowed; be respectful with limited guests so all owners can enjoy the pool; an owner MUST be with their guests at all times. Everyone must use a key fob; do not let people in the pool area with no key as trespassers did much damage last year. If you do not have a key fob, contact your landlord, lost keys can be paid for at McShane management. You will need your key fob to use bathroom facilities. Report fence jumping or parties immediately so we can identify these people.  No glass bottles or cups. No smoking. The pool is open from 9am to 10pm daily; pease adhere to all pool rules to avoid loss of privileges or fines.

Update: Your EBV Board and fellow neighbors teamed up to power wash and clean the dock.  We will be working on some things to keep the seagulls off in the next few weeks as we have had numerous suggestions.  Also, a reminder, please don't ask neighbors to pick you up from the dock.  Until we are able to install the pick up dock, we ask that you adhere to no pickups or ties ups as the signage needs to be added.  Also, the ladder was taken by the installers for a repair and fantastic news that it was not stolen as feared!!  REMINDER: no boats or haulers are allowed to be left on site in the community.

At the annual meeting, we discussed volunteering to go into the wet lands area for trash cleanup. Please let us know if you would be willing to volunteer and we will set a date for that project as well.

As you know, the annual fireworks are a big Walled Lake draw.  The Walled Lake Civic fund works year-round on events to support this cause.  Please consider donating to help fund this fantastic event!

 

We want to wish Chuck Vomastek a fond farewell as he will no longer serve as the account manager for EBV.  John Kaye has been assigned to EBV.  While you may be speaking to John directly with questions and concerns, we find it most effective if you either message manager@mcshanemanagement.com or board@mcshanemanagement.com if board members should be involved.  Thanks you!

Reminder that Buildings 14-17 are scheduled for paint so communication will be distributed closer to the spring/summer dates.  Also egress repair will be slated for spring/summer as well on buildings 9-12.  We have done some road patches to get us further into necessary road repair.  Please report any major issues if you see them.  Fountains should be on in Mid May, along with mulch application if you can move things from your shrub areas.  Lights btween Old Pine Way & Boardwalk continue to be shorting out; these will need electrical attention to fix a light sensor; please be patient while this gets attended to.

It has come to our attention that the satellite dishes are getting out of control.  People are not requesting exterior modification before installing and they are placing their dishes in front of neighbors windows.  As we advance toward roof repair, we are recommending that you discontinue any future contracts to be extended as there will be a hard stop to satellite dish installation; they are NOT be approved throughout the community and will be removed entirely during roof installation and will be a by-law violation on all future installations.
