Greetings Woodhaven Campers,

   In this spot you would normally see the Board President’s Message from Dan Rossi. But this month, and continuing off and on throughout the year you will see messages from all of your Board of Directors. The hope is that this will allow you to know us better and to hear different messages from different perspectives. This month it is my turn, so allow me to introduce myself: I am Chris Collins, Board of Directors Vice President and ESAC Board of Review liaison.
Not just during camping season, but throughout the year, volunteers donate their time and energy to keep our campground running smoothly and help staff make the decisions and execute the plans to ensure each season and event is memorable. These volunteers are Property Owners just like you. Owners who want to be a part of the things that make Woodhaven Lakes a one of a kind experience in resort camping.

   Volunteers serve on the Board of Directors, Boards of Review (Public Safety, ESAC), Committees (Finance, Facilities Planning, Communications, Section Representatives), and finally special committees formed from time to time to address special issues such as rule changes or projects like the splash pad. You as a Property Owner are welcome and invited to apply to serve in any of these capacities, and to come observe as committees meet. There are no hidden agendas or secrets to what goes on in running WHL and accurate information is only a speak up sheet, committee meeting attendance, visit to the office, or phone call away. 

   Every volunteer and staff member at Woodhaven takes the responsibility of serving seriously. We care about Woodhaven and we care about you, the Property Owners. We try to make decisions in a way that accounts for differing opinions, lifestyles, incomes, backgrounds, and so on. Unfortunately, not every decision made or event planned will please everyone, but that is the nature of being part of such a diverse community.

   I am proud of what Woodhaven Lakes represents, and I am proud of the staff and volunteers who work so tirelessly to bring it all together for you, our Property Owners. This year take time to slow down, look around, and appreciate what we have in our WHL community, consider volunteering to serve in some capacity, and consider attending a meeting or two to learn about what goes on behind the scenes to make our place so great.

Thanks and have a great season, Chris Collins
