Summer Update

Hello friends and neighbors!

 

It’s hard to believe summer is already coming to an end?! We hope you have enjoyed many days and weeks (maybe months!) at the lake this year! I have been here with my family since June and have enjoyed every second of this amazing place, filled with amazing people.

 

Here’s what we’ve been up to:

 

  • New Board Members
  • Summer Recap – and thank you to the Fun Committee!
  • Policy Reminders – check with Rhonda before making any changes to your cottage/property!
  • Emergency Alerts
  • See something? Say something

New Board Members

We owe a HUGE thanks to Geoff Killam, Kari Grist and Marty Wachtel for their hard work and noteworthy contributions to the community and the Board. Greg Caldwell has been re-elected for his second term on the board; and, we welcomed some new members to the board: Taryn Striegel, Kiera Wright and Danae Hordyk (that’s me!). If you haven’t yet, please introduce yourselves to us, and check out our bios so you can get to know us a little better. Jay Winters, Josh Hartley and Genni Reilly will remain on the Board through 2024.

Summer Recap

 

We owe the Fun Committee a BIG thank you for all their hard work to entertain, feed, and engage all of us in many fun things throughout the season. We enjoyed numerous Happy Hours, Bingo nights, karaoke nights, 4th of July/Canada Day fireworks, crafts for the kids, s’mores at the fire, pool parties and most of all Sports Weekend! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help run events throughout Sports Weekend – many hands truly made lighter work – and to everyone who donated items to the silent auction, bid on items, made/purchased lemonade and Rice Krispie treats, and donated cash.

 

Our fundraising campaign to “Feed the Oroville Community” (benefiting the Oroville Food Bank and No Paws Left Behind) was incredibly successful, raising $36,000!!

 

Thank you Christian Bellofatto for capturing Sports Weekend on video, and thank you Fun Committee…Kristin Conklin, Jami Rice, Mike Elhard, Mike Moug, Tina-Marie Bradford, Rhonda Hinkley and Marty Wachtel…for all of your planning, organizing, (and blood, sweat and tears)! Plans are already in the works for next year. Can’t wait!

Policy Reminders

 

As stated in the  Architectural and Landscape Guidelines, "The objective of the review process is to promote the harmonious development of the neighborhood, preserve the character and integrity of the community and to enhance the HOA owner's investment".

 

Make sure to get in touch with Rhonda before undertaking any construction or modifications to the exterior of your cottage, the landscaping (including patios and driveways) in your yard, or any other exterior changes to ensure you have the required approvals in place!

 

We also want to remind the community about our Construction Policy. This policy outlines everything from sand control to the weight of vehicles allowed on our community roads, and more. If you are about to build or renovate – it is must read. In the event of a violation of these guidelines, the Board may pursue violations in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.

Emergency Alerts

The fires in Oroville/Osoyoos, and Kelowna, hit way too close to home and while we all enjoyed watching the fire bombers fly over, we want everyone to be prepared in the event of future emergencies. Please sign up for Okanogan County Emergency Alerts, and please note, cell phone calls to 911 from Veranda Beach often route to Canada. The Oroville Police Department can be reached at 509-476-2913.

 

Our website provides air quality updates from the Oroville IQAir stations, and get real time weather information, thanks to several of our Veranda Beach neighbors.

 

Thanks also to all of the Veranda Beach families who worked tirelessly, giving of their muscles (and food!) to support the Oroville Golf Course in executing critical repairs to its irrigation system, destroyed by the fire. You’re all amazing…and probably still sore after that!

 

For anyone interested in supporting families affected by the Kelowna fires, you can donate to Mamas for Mamas or contact Shadia Doty.

See Something? Say Something

 

Because we don’t have the capacity and personnel to monitor everything happening in the community at all times, we rely on the community to follow the guidelines we have in place, and let us know as questions and concerns arise, so we may investigate and remedy those issues.

 

Please refer to the policies found on our HOA website: www.verandabeachhomeowners.com and contact us at board@vbhoawa.com with any questions or concerns.

Cheers to a great summer and best wishes for fall! See you at Thanksgiving!
