April is here! Spring showers are coming down and temperatures, outdoor activities, and vacations are coming up. It’s impossible to get through April without thinking about Michago and opening up the house for the season. It’s always a wonderful time of year in Michigan.
As we ramp up to the summer months, our community will be busy gearing up for the season. The community water comes back online April 15, and garbage service resumes May 3. For those in need of other services (tree trimming, extra garbage pickup, lawn mowing), check our website at Michago.Blogspot.com for local vendor information. If you have other questions or need to update to your household contact information, please email the association at michagobeach@gmail.com.
A copy of your 2010 Shareholders Dues is enclosed here. As many of you will remember, we discussed our dues and expenses at the shareholders’ meeting last July and agree to maintain the dues structure for another year. Our last increase was 2006.
We mailed the shareholders dues/invoices a little earlier this year due to the number of road projects that we experienced last season. A few significant road projects remain on our “to do” list for this year including repairs for Toboggan, Sunset, and Surfside drives. Over the next two months, the board will meet to discuss maintaining the current dues level or whether to recommend an increase/special assessment for 2010-2011.
County Lines, a publication of Great Lakes Energy Co-op, had a short article concerning a broadband survey for underserved areas (dial-up). If you go to www.fcc.gov or http://www.broadband.gov/ , navigate to Report a Broadband Dead Zone, and fill out the "I don't have broadband at home" form/questionnaire, there could be a change in our service in the future. This survey pertains to your Montague address only. This could result in faster internet service if implemented.
We look forward to seeing you at the shareholders meeting on Saturday, July 3, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Feldt's front yard.
