2 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER June 2019 CCC President’s Column By KATHY HARP Three candidates selected to serve on CCC Board The Charbonneau Country Club Annual Meeting was held Wednesday, May 15. Three candidates were elected to serve on the CCC Board of Directors. They are Bob Harland (second term), Anne Shevlin and Steve Switzer. Harland will head up the newly formed Board Development Committee along with continuing to serve on Civic Affairs. Shevlin will chair our Asset Management and Switzer will serve on Civic Affairs Sunshine Service By JOAN VEDDER Our volunteers are here to help you Well June is the halfway mark of 2019... That’s a scary thought! I always worry if I’m keeping and Communications. We are extremely happy to welcome these candidates to the CCC Board. Whenever new members are elected, other members are retiring from the CCC Board. Tony Holt and Kathy Fuller have both worked tirelessly for our community over the past years. Fuller headed up our House Committee which was charged with the task of overseeing the operation and use of our clubhouse. She worked on the clubhouse renovation, which included new carpeting, new draperies, painting, new upholstery on our chairs and renovating the Charbonneau logo on our fireplace, just to name a few. In addition, she has been very involved in the quest for more activity space and served as CCC Board secretary. Holt was first elected to the CCC Board 14 years ago. His first term was 2005-2011. In 2013, he was elected again. During these years, Tony took on the important and time-consuming task of heading up the Charbonneau Civic Affairs Committee. Holt was at the forefront of the efforts to protect our quality of life from the encroachment of industrial development on Charbonneau’s border. He attended countless regional and state meetings, wrote numerous correspondence and editorials and testified in front of committees and commissions, all in his commitment to safeguard this community. Holt became the CCC Board president in 2015 and continued as president until February of this year. At that time he stepped down due to health issues. It has been an honor for me to serve alongside these two dedicated community leaders these past years. I hope you took time to read the FAQ sheet that was sent out by the Community Outreach Task Force a few weeks ago. We followed that mailing with a survey sent to all community members. This survey can also be taken online on the front page of our website under the heading “Facilities Improvement Project.” Since my deadline for this article is early in May, I do not have any results for you at this writing. Remember that residents can always make comments by emailing us at [email protected]. Your input is important. We have made some progress with our talks with Charbonneau Golf Course, Inc. We recently met with attorneys from both organizations and began forming a plan to combine the nonprofit CCC with the for-profit Charbonneau Golf Course, Inc. We will continue to keep you posted in the months ahead. We feel we are all working as a TEAM and together our common goal is a healthy and vibrant golf course, which benefits our entire community. I would like to end with a quote from the Rev. Billy Graham. “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.” Wishing all the wonderful fathers in Charbonneau a very happy Father’s Day. ■ up with the times, accomplishing what I set out to do, and trying to remember to smell the roses. Our household kind of came to an abrupt stop this spring and we learned things we didn’t necessarily start out to do. However, we are richer for it and for some reason or other, the dust bunnies, an occasional weed or dirty dishes don’t seem to be as important as I used to think they were! We understand extended pain more than we ever knew before. We know what it’s like to spend four days out of five visiting doctors. It’s very clear to me just how important the Sunshine Service is to the residents of Charbonneau. We are family when push comes to shove. We’ve got things in our storage closet that you wouldn’t believe! Certain things we have plenty in stock, other things are more limited for use. Our goal is to have state-of- the-art equipment available for your needs. Hip or knee replacements require different items, for instance. Recovery goes so much faster when you are comfortable! Please remember that we are listed in your Charbonneau directory and if the first volunteer on the list doesn’t answer, just move on to the next name... We can’t all be gone at the same time. We jump for joy when you return items in good shape and don’t need reminding. Somebody could be waiting for the exact item you may have borrowed. Thanks again for your continued support. I speak for ALL the volunteers when I say it’s our pleasure to help you. ■ A Publishing Partnership...
