Happy Spring everyone, did we even have a Winter?? Let me start by apologizing to all the Winter activity people who really were disappointed in this ski/snowboard season, my heart also goes out to the ski areas who really suffered this year. No worries, though, because I am certain that this won’t be the last you will see of the white stuff and cold weather in the future. As always, welcome back to the seasonal people coming back to their Wallenpaupack homes.

The docks and boat racks are all being put onto the interior lakes and the main docks have begun being installed on Lake Wallenpaupack. A lot of people do not know it, but Wallenpaupack Lake Estates boasts the largest marina on Lake Wallenpaupack and it is quite a process for the Maintenance Department to refurbish, replace and put in all these docks over the next few weeks leading up to the boat season. Since last year’s boat season was cut short, we are trying our best to get an early jump on the docks this year to allow for an earlier than usual boat season.

Still being in a recessive economy, the Board and General Manager have no large projects on the table and only plan to spend our basic monies and resources maintaining and landscaping our grounds. We are planning to focus landscape efforts especially on certain areas such as the Tennis Courts and around the pool areas leading into the Summer Season. We hope everyone understands that we are doing our best to keep the Homeowners Association on track for a solid future by being financially responsible in this economy. We are hopeful that we have reached the bottom and good times are to come again in the years to come.

The Board of Directors and myself would like to thank Chief Rocky Kizer for 25 years of service to Wallenpaupack Lake Estates. Proudly I would like to say that I remember the year he started and am happy to say that I have known him for over a quarter century! Chief, this doesn’t mean that I am forgiving you for the tickets I have received over the years, but thank you for all your service to us here. In addition to Security, a thank you to all departments who help keep our community running year round. Looking forward to seeing everyone real soon and I hope you all have a great Spring.
