Georgetown Shores Ski League

Leave a reply

For those who are not familiar with the Georgetown Shores Ski League (GSSL) we are an unofficial group made up of individuals who like the challenge of improving their skiing ability in the company of friends.  This improvement is scored and tracked by each individual using the buoys in the west bay.  If you have only free skied, you should really try it.   It is kind of like a golfer always going to the driving range and then someone introduces them to a course where they keep score.  It can be a little frustrating but the challenge to improve is very satisfying.

If anyone has questions as to how this is done, stop by the house of any of those who ski it regularly and ask.  We would love to chat with anyone about it.

The league is set up with a handicap system that will level the playing field for the beginner to advanced skier.  The league will start on July 1, 2015 and end on September 7, 2015.  We will be using the month of June to determine your initial handicap.  In order to calculate your 2014 average, you must enter six scores in the League Webform prior to July 1st.  This is only applicable to those who are new to the ski league this year.  For those that skied last year, your last year score will be used to determine your handicap.

Tracking your scoring is as simple as entering your score into a web site (Thank you Randy Plaisier).  Scoring will include head to head completion, points for # of sets skied, points based on percentage of improvement, and (possibly?) points from a summer tournament.

Once again, we are looking forward to this year’s league competition.  Whether you are a beginner or you have been skiing the course for a few years, the handicap system will allow everyone who enters the ability to compete.  The ski league, even though competitive, is more about meeting neighbors and people who like to water ski.

A reminder to all that skiing the course is not to be done when the lake is busy.  There is no problem with driving through the buoys in any manner but when the lake is active with other boats, a state mandated counter clockwise rotation of the lake should be observed.

Originally sent to all residents on Feb 18, 2015

To: EGSLA Residents

From: EGSLA Interim Board of Directors

 

Dear EGSLA Resident,

As your EGSLA Interim Board of Directors, we are pleased to announce a new method for collecting the input of each and every resident.  Beginning this year, we will be moving the official business of the association online, making use of online voting capabilities to ensure all residence have an opportunity to participate.  In the past, we have had difficulties achieving a quorum at a physical Annual Meeting.  This new method will allow the association to conduct official business in a more flexible and convenient way.

Because of our move to on-line voting, it is ever more important that we have your e-mail address.  We have the addresses for 90% of the residents but some have not provided their address to us.  If you are unsure, please go to the web site as listed on the lower portion of the invoice page and fill out the form (there is a link on the top of the web page).  The on-line voting process will send you a unique login via e-mail for you to go in and vote.  We expect to have our voting annually in the spring.

Although the official business will be conducted electronically, we believe it is important to continue to hold an annual informational meeting at which the board can provide an update of the progress made within the association and any questions or concerns can be raised.  We will also plan to discuss the capital improvements we have listed on the financial statement printed on the back of this page as well as the budget for 2015.  The informational meeting for 2015 will be held in the Fellowship Room (North entrance) at Hillcrest CRC, located at 3617 Hillcrest in Hudsonville, Sat. April 25, 2015 at 9:00 AM.  We look forward to seeing all those interested in attending at this meeting.

Thank you.

EGSLA Interim Board of Directors

Garage Sale

Neighborhood Garage Sale
Thursday April 16 from 9-4 &
Friday April 17 from 9-4

Posting from Kim Scholten:
Plan to join the neighborhood garage sale this year on Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17! The sale will be open from 9-4 each day!

We ask that you be mindful of the school buses trying to get through in the early mornings and not open early to avoid traffic in the neighborhood and for the safety of the kids and buses!

We will take care of posting signs on all of the street corners but ask if you could possibly please mark your own home the day of the sales. Our signs are starting to break and we are in need of replacing some, so this year I am asking for five dollars per house involved in the garage sale. I will use that money to replace the signs and also to place an ad in the advance if I have enough funds. Please place your five dollars in an envelope with your name and address and specific items you may be selling so I can mark all necessary corners with signs and have an accurate number of homes involved to include in ads! Please get this to Kim Scholten at 5956 16th ave. If you are interested in participating this year!

Any questions please call Kim at 667-9290.
