As we move into June, summer has finally arrived at the park after an unusually cool and rainy Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures have warmed into the 80s, signaling the true start of the season at the river.
One of the most significant events this month is our Annual Meeting, scheduled for Saturday, June 14th. To prepare, the member item sign-up sheet is available at the office until 5 PM on Saturday, June 7th, allowing time to finalize the meeting agenda. Responding to member requests, the completed agenda will be posted on the Official Facebook page by Thursday, June 12th, so members can review discussion topics ahead of time.
We look forward to a productive meeting and thank all members for their ongoing participation and engagement.
Annual Meeting Voting & Attendance
The Election Committee has emailed members important details about proxy voting, alongside ballots for director elections. Members unable to attend the meeting are strongly encouraged to submit a proxy to ensure their vote is counted.
The meeting will take place outdoors, with the Lower Ranger Station reserved as a backup location in case of bad weather.
This Annual Meeting is the one key opportunity each year for members to present items, hear critical updates, and vote on park matters. Your attendance—or submission of a proxy—is essential to having your voice heard.
At the meeting, election results will be announced, and the newly elected directors for the 2025/2026 term will be introduced. We encourage all members to attend and hear the outcomes of their votes.
Board Acknowledgments
We want to extend our sincere thanks to Larry Fellows, who has chosen not to seek re-election after over two years of dedicated Board service. Larry has been an invaluable contributor to many of the improvements we’ve achieved. Please take a moment to thank him if you see him at the meeting or around the park.
Though Larry will be stepping down, we’re confident he will remain an engaged member of our community. Thank you, Larry — you will be truly missed!
Park Operations & Improvements
Our new pump-out software system is close to rollout, with member training and deployment schedules coming later this month. Testing of the new tablets for pump truck operators and the guard house kiosk is underway. Thanks to member Daniel Boyce, who designed and built a custom weatherproof tablet holder and developed the software itself, the park is receiving this system at a greatly reduced cost. We encourage members to thank Daniel for his generous efforts.
Volunteer Opportunities
Several park committees remain understaffed and need member volunteers. From finance to recreation, there are many ways to contribute and support the community. Committee interest forms are available at the Office and outline the responsibilities of each committee. If interested or for more information, please visit the Office or contact a Board member.
