“Could you post the Directors or Board Members for the Home Owners Association, their term of office, their contact information.”

Declaration of Covenants
| Wondering why the blue truck is still parked on the side of the road on Antioch Lakes Road. The Declaration of Covenants clearly covers vehicle parking.
The Covenants can be viewed at this site: http://deeds.cravencounty.com/LandRecords/protected/SrchQuickName.aspx
Search for Index Type as Consolidated Real Property, Book 2612 and starting with Page 547.
You should see the Covenants and Amendments listed.

| There is the issue of construction debris at the corner of Antioch lakes Road/Ramonas Lake Court and on Ramonas Lake Court near the cul-de-sac. The debris on Antioch Lakes Road has been there since October of 2009. The debris at the end of Ramonas Lake Court has been there since a couple of weeks after the first 2010 POA meeting. It seems that the promise of a certain contractor to remove the debris simply equated to relocate the debris since some of the material was previously located at Fernie and Antioch Lakes Road. I think you will find the Covenants cover this issue as well. The Covenants are there as a method of protecting our neighborhood and individual investments. If everyone does his part we all benefit from better property values and quality of life. An overlooked item is like a cancer that can quickly spread to adjacent areas and eventually kill the host. |
 A great cookout Saturday night, hotdogs and marshmallows. The weather was perfect! |
 Quite a thunderstorm we had Sunday afternoon. A good bit of near by lightning and a good amount of much needed rain. |

Small Wonder
This caught my eye this morning and sent me running for the camera. (Click for a larger view.)
 I was out of town for a few days and the lawns have really greened up. |
 Quite a bit of progress on the new construction at 304 Ramonas Lake Court. |
 Is there a rumor that the house at 207 Antioch Lakes Road has been sold? No rumor, folks are moving in! False alarm! The house is being staged. At least that's what we heard. |

Rain
At last, sufficient rainfall to turn the grass green!
The National Weather Service said we received 1/3 of an inch Sunday afternoon. It seemed like a lot more than that.Guess I need to install a rain gauge or better yet a weather station.
Two weeks ago the gate area on the dock was repaired and Sunday the street sign at Fernie and Antioch Lakes Road was repaired and reinstalled. Our best guess is someone with a trailer didn't know how to operate their vehicle properly.
Over the past couple of weeks we're seeing cars that don't belong in the area exceeding a safe
neighborhood speed. We have a lot of children and young people that use our roads and we need to consider speed limit signs.

(DirecTV or Dish Network) http://www.centurylink.com/ http://dishnetwork.com/ http://www.directv.com/ |
| FOOD A Subway and Chinese Food in the Food Lion shopping center in Bridgeton. I can vouch for the Chinese food! --------------- Shultzee Ice Cream Shop in Bridgeton just past and on the same side as the Hess station. Debbie also has bagels and coffee in the morning. 505 D Street ---------------- Right beside the ice cream shop is a very good butcher shop and deli. Boars Head products, specialty cheeses and the best cuts of meat you’ll find. Butcher Market LLC ----------------- And beside the butcher shop is what I consider to be a good pizza establishment, and they deliver.

Weekend
Even though it was in the low 90's we had a wonderful breeze. The openness of the neighborhood allows the summer breeze to travel unimpeded.
A couple of the children in the neighborhood saw their first deer in the spotlight and there was an awesome night show by fireflies near the lake.
