Annual Meeting
The Cedar Creek Property Owners’ Association, Inc., will hold its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, March 9th at the Hope Lutheran Church on Old 41. The notice for this meeting was sent via regular mail on or about February 20, 2010. There will be three (3) openings for Directors. If you will be unable to attend this meeting, please be sure to fill out the proxy form and hand deliver it to any Board member or mail it to MMI. Your returned proxy will be counted as being in attendance and will be used to aid in establishing a quorum of 30%, or 82 properties being represented.
The Board of Directors held a monthly meeting on Monday, February 15, 2010. There was no old business and only two items of new business. An item to accept bids for sod replacement was tabled until the April 19th Board meeting, as we had only one written bid and we needed to have at least two. The other agenda item was the appointment of Association representatives to serve in the event that a court mediation is decreed in any foreclosure cases that may arise. A motion to name Wain Garrison, Lloyd Zimmerman, Chris Dill and Glenn Davis was passed by a 5 - 0 vote.

CANNED GOODS DRIVE
FOR THE CAFE OF LIFE
For the Month of March I am collecting can goods to distribute to the poor communities in Bonita Springs. I would really appreciate the generosity of my neighbors to help in this plight. You can drop off your cans at my house at 25670 Springtide Court. I will leave a white container near my front door for deposit.
Thank you.

Cedar Creek Ladies Book Club
The Cedar Creek Ladies Book Club meets once a month on the fourth Monday at 7:15 PM. We read mostly fiction with a few non-fiction, and bios included occasionally. If you're interested, call or email Carolyn Gallagher, 949-0949, gallahawk@aol.com.
Gate Problems
Finally, the gates to the entrance of Cedar Creek have been repaired. As you know, new operators were installed in mid-December and were working fine until mid-January when the problem arose. The operators had to be removed and sent to the manufacturer in California, where a battery of tests were performed to determine the intermittent malfunction of the system. We hope the problems have been eliminated and we can have a resumed sense of security at the entrance. We express our apologies to those residents who were inconvenienced by the intermittent malfunctioning of these gates.
Volunteerism
In the February issue of the Newsletter, we were remiss in giving kudos to both Jim Riordan and Bobby Berkeley for their efforts in painting the doors and trim at the gate house. Thanks to the both of them for a job well done.
Again, we want to thank the regular group of neighborhood volunteers who help with weekly cleanups and light maintenance in the common areas of Cedar Creek. Those fellows include Dan Wettlaufer, Jim Riordan, Robert Bruce, Rick Hall and Dave Gallagher. The common areas seem to be a dumping ground for residents and outsiders alike, disposing of fast food wrappers, beverage cans and bottles and other items of waste. You will usually see these volunteers picking up debris along US 41 in front of Cedar Creek, along the main thoroughfare and in the Community pool and tennis court areas on Tuesday mornings. If you would like to donate some time on any Tuesday morning to help with this ongoing project, please call either Lloyd Zimmerman at 992-8123 or Glenn at 992-2120. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Delinquencies
Due to space limitations, if you wish to know the status of delinquent property owners in Cedar Creek, please send me an e-mail requesting that list. Twenty-four (24) properties are listed as delinquent for not paying their required assessments, late fees and/or interest, as of February 28, 2010 for the year 2010. These accounts are in the hands of the Association attorney for foreclosure:
We also have ten (10) properties that paid their assessments after the January 15th deadline but did not pay the late fees or interest.
The total of account receivables is $36,764.44, including assessments, late fees and interests through February 28, 2010 on these accounts. The attorney’s lien fees are a minimum of $400.00 and a fee of $450.00 for the filing of foreclosure papers with the courts.
In addition to the above, the Association is currently maintaining six (6) properties that have been vacated by the respective owners. These incurred costs total $8,890.30, over and above the total accounts receivable.
As an added note, there are at least twelve (12) properties in Cedar Creek that are in foreclosure proceedings with their individual mortgage companies On the advice of the Association attorney, we will wait until each of these properties sell and collect any outstanding debts via estoppel letters when they go to closing with new owners, or when the banks release them from their indebtedness.
Pool, Spa, Bocce and Tennis Court
Please remember, hours for pool, spa, bocce and tennis court usage are from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. For the concern and respect of your neighbors, please abide by these posted times. If you open an umbrella at the pool, please make sure you wind it down before you leave to avoid damage should a windstorm arise. To show consideration of others, and for the cleanliness of the pool area, please refrain from smoking in the pool and spa areas. Don't turn on the air conditioning unless you have a scheduled meeting or party and then turn it off when you leave. This will save the Association money.
The Cedar Creek Bocce court is popular with the residents. The game is great fun and easy to play. This is not a game for men only. The ladies who have been playing love it. Rules for the use of the court are posted on the tennis court fence. Rules for playing the game are posted on the bulletin board in the cabana. There is no shortage of Bocce ball sets in the neighborhood so it is not necessary to have your own set to play. For more information feel free to call one of the following: Dan Durante 498-9982; or Bill Schwessinger 992-4539. These numbers also will be posted in the cabana.
