Volunteer Board Members Needed 

A dedicated group of volunteers have served on th A dedicated group of volunteers have served on the Lake Pointe Estates Homeowners Association Board of Directors and devoted many years to supporting and improving our neighborhood. We sincerely thank each of them for their service. Several board members have decided to “retire” or scale back their involvement, and as a result, we are seeking a few individuals to step forward and serve on the Board of Directors. Each Director serves a three-year term. The Officer positions of President and Secretary are now open. These roles are appointed by the full Board for one-year terms. In addition, we are seeking a volunteer for the newly created position of Assistant Treasurer, who will assume full Treasurer's responsibilities next year in 2027


We recently made an appeal for volunteers in the Fall newsletter as well as at the Annual Meet-

ing. We are grateful that one homeowner has stepped forward to serve as a Board Member at Large. However, we are still in need of additional Board members who would be interested in filling the open Officer positions. We are again reaching out to the Lake Pointe Estates membership for volunteers willing to serve as President, Secretary, or Assistant Treasurer. Your participation is essential to maintaining a strong, self-governed Association.

If we are unable to fill these positions, the Board will be forced to outsource certain

management tasks, such as bookkeeping and billing duties normally handled by the Treasurer. We

have asked for quotes from two area HOA management firms. The low bid was $400 per month or

$4,800 per year. This would result in a dues increase of $53 per lot. We are very hopeful that we

can find residents willing to become involved in the neighborhood and avoid costly outsourcing of

these duties. The attached full version of this notice lists the duties for the Officer Positions noted. If you find that one of these positions fits your particular talents or interests, please contact one of the Board of Directors or email us at Lakepointeestates@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Lighten Up
Lake Pointe

The Lake Pointe Restrictions and Covenants require that your exterior lamp post must be lighted at night. If your fixture is not working you need to replace it with an approved fixture or have yours repaired. 
A common cause for lamp posts not working is the failure of the transformer inside the fixture. HOA member Don Dorsan can rebuild your fixture to accept the more efficient LED light and restore it to working order. 
Price includes rewiring, replacement of light sensor, fixture painting and reinstallation.

Price: $75.00

Don has a few of the original fixtures in stock if you wish to change your fixture back to the original Lake Pointe fixture as pictured above.
Price  $80.00
