Winter Update

Hello friends and neighbors!

 

Winter at the lake in December was quite mild and while it was too warm to skate, at least we did not have to break the ice for the Polar Plunge, and the kids all enjoyed the New Year's snow!

 

We have loved seeing more and more homeowners at the lake during the off season! Many celebrated holidays at the lake with New Year’s Eve fireworks (thank you to those who donated, and Tyler Martyniuk for running the show!), New Year’s Day polar plunge (thank you, Paul Conley, for organizing!), skiing and snowboarding, wine tasting, movie days, MANY social gatherings with friends, and a warm, welcoming HOT TUB! A BIG thank you to our HOA staff for keeping an eye on our cottages while we’re away…and opening the hot tub for the holidays too.

 

Winter has not slowed down the work of the Board, as we work hard to serve this community that we love. Thank you for your continued support!

A few recent updates you should know…

 

 

  1. Meeting DAY CHANGEOur 2025 monthly meetings will now take place on the fourth WEDNESDAY of each month at 7PM VBT (Veranda Beach Time)(except for December 2025) – meeting recordings are posted following each meeting and will remain available for one year.

Welcome Our New Bookkeeper!

 

Beth Annon joined the Veranda Beach HOA staff this winter, as our new bookkeeper. She moved to Oroville in the spring of 2023 to be close to her daughter and her growing family, including two wonderful granddaughters.

 

After growing up in Wyoming and Montana, Beth is thankful to be back in the north mountains. She spent 22 years owning Bicycle Retail Stores in Northern California before selling the business in 2016 and moving to Texas, to care for her parents and continue her career in bookkeeping and human resource management.

 

In her free time, Beth loves being outdoors—gardening, hiking, and exploring. She also enjoys sewing, crocheting, beading, baking, and canning, and of course, spending time with her granddaughters. 

 

Please join us in welcoming Beth to the VB family!

 

Beth can be reached at bookkeeper@vbhoawa.com.

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.

Our family is gearing up for baseball/softball season for Zander (11). Ryder (9), AND Quinn (7) while wrapping up Ryder's regular hockey season and diving into his spring hockey! Whew! (If anyone wants to hang out, we'll be at the baseball field or the rink...see you in June!)

 

Ryder's hockey season has taken us to Victoria, Edmonton (twice!), and the BC lower mainland MANY times this year, and we have enjoyed connecting with our VB family along the way.

 

We enjoyed Christmas, New Years and mid-winter break (President's Day/Family Day) at the lake again this year, and look forward to making many more fun memories with you all this spring and summer.

 

Happy (belated) Presidents Day and Family Day!

And (hopefully) hello spring!

In Loving Memory of Cary Van Zanten

 

Our community lost a "bright" soul, Cary Van Zanten, on December 26, 2024, after an extremely quick and difficult battle with cancer.

 

Cary had a heart for making our community a better place. He enjoyed being active; and, together with his wife, Laurel, purchased and hauled the benches you'll find at the top of Cactus Mountain.

 

We will miss you, Cary!
