2013-14 Board Elections: Meet your executive directors for this year
We held our annual Meet & Greet and Board Elections on Tuesday, Dec 10 at the Christ Church Parish Hall in Chaptico, Maryland. Only one member of the community, with the exception of the board, attended this event. We hope you will consider joining us for next year’s elections. It is your suggestions and involvement that is necessary to make our community a better place to live.
The Country Lakes Homeowners Association 2014 Executive Board is as follows:
President/Secretary: Elaine Green, president@clha.org
(NEW) Vice President: Mark Pullium, vicepresident@clha.org
Treasurer: James Loveless, treasurer@clha.org
A special thanks goes out to these folks, in addition to the board of directors that comprises our community HOA. This group of volunteers manage all aspects of upkeep to the park, entrance, and events throughout the year. It is your yearly dues that allow us to maintain the community and for that we appreciate each and every one of you as well. Thanks!

Adopt-a-Road Clean Up
Saturday, November 2, was community clean up day. We had seven community service workers and two families from Country Lakes help out. The wooded area at the Park was targeted, along with Asher Rd nearby. We then moved to Tin Top School Rd. and picked up between Asher & Yowaiski Mill. The entire stretch of Yowaiski Mill Rd was also cleaned up. Approximately 30 bags were filled and other larger debris picked up as well. We started at 9:15 a.m. and finished by noon.
Thank you to everyone that helped out with the organization, pickup, and hauling of the bags and debri from this event. Contact us at 301-884-7297 or here if you are interested in volunteering for the next event in the Spring.

Damage at the Park
There was some damage to the basketball court fence at the park on or around November 6, 2013. It appears to have come from a vehicle. If you have any information related to this incident, please e-mail president@clha.org or leave an anonymous message at 301-884-7297. View pictures of the damage.

Trunk or Treat 2013
We had beautiful weather for Halloween on October 31st and many of you joined us at the park for our annual Trunk-or-Treat event. We even had a bonfire this year, so we hope you enjoyed it. See you next time.
Santa’s Visit at the Park
While the weather for Trunk-or-Treat was unseasonably warm, the weather for Santa’s visit was the opposite. It was a very cold, very icy winter day at the park on Sunday, December 8. Unfortunately, this prevented many of you from coming to see Santa. We only had about 20 kids total, but we still had treats, plenty of hot chocolate, a craft workshop, and a special table for sending holiday cards to soldiers. Thanks to all who participated and braved the icy, cold weather and special thanks to the board for organizing the event. View pictures.
