Annual Meeting:
Our Annual Meeting of the property owners and shareholders of the Lake James Property Owners Association will
be held on Saturday, August 22, 2009. The meeting will be held at the Houghton Lake Community Center,
which is located off Townline Road, directly behind the Pines Theater on M-55. This meeting is the annual
opportunity for the lake residents and shareholders to be heard by the Board of Directors' regarding their
concerns about the lake or to ask questions of the Board regarding issues that concern them. We also elect
new Board members at the meeting. Either you can vote for new Board members at the meeting or you can return
the enclosed proxy by mail if you are unable to attend the meeting. If voting by proxy, please remember to
get it mailed out in time for the meeting. ALL PROXIES MUST BE RETURNED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 15th
IN THE SELF-ADDRESSED ENVELOPE. Please make the extra effort to attend the meeting. The first trophy presentation
of the LJPOA Annual 4th of July Parade will also take place.
Annual Dues:
Just a reminder that the annual dues have been sent out. All dues notices were mailed out by July 25th to
coincide with the beginning of our fiscal year, August 1, 2009. Dues are payable without penalty until
October 30, 2009. After that date, a 7% late charge will be assessed. Dues can be paid at the annual meeting.
Board of Directors Candidates:
Following are the candidates for the LJPOA who have stepped forward. Three (3) will be elected to a 3-year term,
one (1) for a two-year term and one (1) for a one year term:
Rocco Daversa:
Rocco has been a property owner since 1971. His primary residence is in Southgate, but he and
his wife, Barbara spend as much time as possible at Lake James. They have two children and two grandchildren.
He is a retired Deputy Sergeant with the Wayne County Sheriff's Department. In April of this year, Rocco accepted
a temporary position on the Board and has been working with Dan Nelson on Aquatic Weed Control. If elected,
he will continue at that position as he has become familiar with the problems of Milfoil and other types of
aquatic weeds and have several ideas on how to combat them.
Dorothy Yakes:
Dorothy is a current Board member and has been our Treasurer for the past three years.
She is married to Frank and they have three children plus four grandchildren, all of who visit during the month
of July. Dorothy's pet project has been July 4 Boat Parade that is now an annual event.
If you are a new Jake James property owner or have a change of address, please let us know by sending this
information to Lake James Property Owners Association at MI 48651.
Boat Launch Keys:
If you need keys for the boat launch, please contact Jim Preczewski at (989) 366-5536.
Logo-Wear:
We are in need of a volunteer to take over the sales of our Logo-wear. Please give
Larry Bittner a call at 586-219-7879 or let us know at our annual meeting.
If you would like to purchase logo-wear, a table will be set up at our annual meeting, or, again, give Larry a call.
