South Bay Community Association Update

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

The SBCA Board has its seventh member, Randy Edwards. He was appointed in August to fill the remaining open seat on the Board. If you remember, at the annual meeting in July we had seven write-in candidates for the last open seat with one vote each. Five of the seven write-in candidates withdrew from consideration. We selected one of the remaining two by lot to fill the position, but that person resigned due to time commitments. We then appointed the last write-in candidate, Randy, in August to fill that seat on the Board. Randy is a fine addition to the Board and brings many notable skills and experiences. He is a soon-to-be retired Captain of the Seattle Fire Department, and we welcome him to the Board.

SBCA Update

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

Our Annual Meeting is in the rear-view mirror, and we are into a new and exciting fiscal year. So much has happened and there is so much to look forward to. The new board of directors is setting their priorities and figuring out committee assignments. As Covid eased up our members got a taste of a very active and busy club with the expectation it will only get better. So let’s take a peek at what lies before us, knowing things do change.

SBCA Update

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

As we near the end of our fiscal year there is often a tendency to reflect on what a difficult year it was— Covid, lockdowns, masks, pain, etc. I choose instead to focus on some accomplish- ments and successes. A few examples are below.

SBCA Update

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

How time flies. I have heard that statement since I was a youngster. Now I know what it means! How did we get to June when only yesterday it was March Madness time? If you know the feeling, hold up your hand—just kidding. Seriously, as we age weeks fly by like days of yesteryear. So here is a quick review of some events at the SBCA in May with a look to the future.

South Bay Community Association Update

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

Lots of things are going on at the Bay Club. I want to start th is article by acknowledging our members who have volunteered at so many events. Thank you! Some were members of our Activities Committee, some were from the Health and Fitness Committee and some just signed up and pitched in. THANK YOU all. I also want to thank our other volunteers who are members of our Facilities, Finance, Communications and Human Resources Committees. These are the people who regularly give of their time and energy to help make the SBCA the very best place possible to live! Please come join us and help lighten the load. Committees and events are great places to meet and make new friends.

New Meeting Room Policy

A rare working agreement between the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (AKA the North Bay) and the South Bay Community Association was unveiled in February, allowing officially designated Community Organizations free access to meeting rooms at both Club houses. That access includes both the smaller meeting rooms and the larger Auditorium/Bayview rooms. Scheduling will be done on a 50/50 basis, so each Club hosts the same number of meetings each month.

South Bay Community Association Update — April 2022

by Gil Skinner, President, SBCA Board of Directors

Spring is springing. The daffodils, rhododendrons, prim- roses, crocuses and forsythia are all blooming. Let’s hope our “wintry mix” forecast will finally be shelved for another year. Big shout out to all who are able to plant these great harbingers of spring. As I drive around South Bay these early bloomers always bring a smile and hope for new beginning.
