2 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER July 2019 CCC President’s Column By KATHY HARP Meet our new CCC Board offi cers, committee chairs Many thanks to all the Charbonneau residents who com- pleted our recent Fa- cilities Improvement Survey. We had over HARP 600 surveys re- turned. Also, thanks to all who attended our Community Open Houses. Our engagement pro- cess provided residents with multi- ple opportunities to give us feed- back and we have received some very positive responses. The CCC Board has several meetings sched- uled to carefully study all of your input. I am not sure if our written report will be ready by the time you are reading this. We will post re- sults at our website as soon as we can put together an overall summa- ry. We will also keep you informed as decisions are made. At our May CCC Board meeting, im- mediately following the Annual Meet- ing, the following officers were elected: ■ President - Kathy Harp ■ Vice President - Bob Harland ■ Secretary - Pat Tewell ■ Treasurer - Lindy Anderson CHARBONNEAU COUNTRY CLUB AND CHARBONNEAU GOLF CLUB PLAN By KATHY HARP AND JOE BROUILLETTE C harbonneau was conceived and has successfully ma- tured as a golf-centric com- munity. As our 100-plus acre course winds through our com- munity, it provides beauty, gives pleasure and brings peace. It also serves as the foundation for the ac- tive social life we all enjoy here. For nearly 30 years the golf course has been owned, operated, maintained and supported by private shareholder residents. We all owe a debt of gratitude to these past and current residents. We also have a responsibility to our current and future residents to finally address this long-standing inequity for the long- We also appointed committee chairs: ■ Activities - Pat Tewell ■ Architectural Control - Levi Smith ■ Asset Management - Anne Shevlin ■ Board Development - Bob Harland ■ Civic Affairs - Bob Harland ■ Communications - Larry Walker ■ Safety - Kamran Mesbah Recently, Charbonneau Golf Club President Joe Brouillette, and I put to- gether a letter for the community. Here is a brief excerpt: “For nearly 30 years, the golf course has been owned, operated, maintained and supported by private shareholder residents. We all owe a debt of gratitude to these past and current residents. We also have a responsibility to our current and future residents to finally address this long-standing inequity for the long-term protection and perpetuation term protection and perpetuation of our community. We believe there is a window of opportunity for Charbonneau Country Club and Charbonneau Golf Club to unite in a format that stabilizes the long-term future of our community and its golf course. Why is this the right move for our community? ■ The golf course is our most valuable community asset. Aligning interests of both community and golf course is essential to the sustainability of both entities. ■ Property values are tied directly to the success of the golf course. The entire community should have a stake in maintaining a healthy golf course. ■ This combined new entity will of our community. We believe there is a window of opportunity for Charbon- neau Country Club and Charbonneau Golf Club to unite in a format that sta- bilizes the long-term future of our community and its golf course.” We then listed several reasons why we believe this is the right move for our community. The letter was available at our recent Open Houses and Com- munity Forum. The entire letter can also be found in this edition of The Villager. The CCC/CGC Committee is continuing to work out many details with our legal counsel and hope to have more news for you in the weeks ahead. In honor of the Fourth of July, I would like to share this quote from President Ronald Reagan: “Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of f the human spirit.” God Bless America! have the potential to generate revenue opportunities far beyond the scope of separate entities operating independently. ■ A wedding venue, a site for hosting tournaments, business meetings, reunions and numerous other gatherings will produce additional revenue. This will also showcase our community to future residents, thereby protecting and enhancing our individual home values. ■ The entire Charbonneau Community can function as one integrated organization. ■ Future decisions will be beneficial to community cohesiveness and common purpose. ■ This will ensure long-term continuity of the golf course.
