Volunteering In and Around Lakepointe

Want to get involved in Lakepointe?  There are many opportunities to do so. Take a look at the current committees and see if one interests you. It's a great way to meet your neighbors and take an active part in our community.  Each committee will have a Chairperson and a BOD liaison.

It's not too early to think about Mulch Madness!  If you can help distribute bags of mulch to resident drives/yards, and especially if you have a truck, please contact Carl Waggoner at cdwagman@gmail.com.

And why not think about the 4th of July picnic?  We need lots of volunteers for this--the more the merrier.  If you're interested, email Denise DeHesus at dehesusdenise@yahoo.com.

Committees:

The Board will rely on committees to assist with the day to day affairs of the Association. A committee is comprised of two BOD members and one owner or three BOD members and two owners.  Each committee will submit a written monthly report to the BOD. The report will include activities and detailed expenditures for the reporting period within 48 hours of BOD meetings. The committee has the authority to spend up to $3,000 for any single expenditure.

All committees report up to the BOD at BOD meetings. Non-Board committee members report up to the board and are encouraged to make recommendations to the BOD. For special projects, additional owners/residents may be enlisted to accomplish a task.
