Proposed Turn over Document

Residents,

Greetings to all residents of East Georgetown Shores Lake Association.  The first lots in our development were sold in the 1999 time frame and over several years and 6 phases of construction Georgetown Shores has  become a great place to live and build community.

Over the years the advisory committee has worked on behalf of the residents to help the developer in the daily operations and issues of the association.  We have been in discussions with the developer on a time frame for the turning over of the association to the residents.  Over the last few months the advisory committee has been working with the developer to protect their continued interest but at the same time give the residents control of the association.

Here is the Proposed Turn Over Document that has been presented to the residents for their vote of approval.  We will discuss this at the meeting at 9:00 am on April 14th and vote whether or not to accept the association under these terms.

Please review the document and be prepared to vote whether or not to have the advisory committee sign this document on all of the residents’ behalf.  If we vote to approve the document, we will work out the plan to transition from the appointed advisory committee to an elected association board.

Proposed Georgetown Shores Triathlon

The Association has also been approached by the promoters of the Grand Rapids Triathlon requesting to have Georgetown Shores host an Olympic and a Sprint distance race using both East GS and West GS lakes on the morning of Saturday, July 28th.

The event would be based just north of the boat launch parking lot and they would take care of all insurance planning and administration. They are asking some residents to step forward to volunteer to man aid stations or other tasks. They are also proposing the placement of a tent for the event along with some family friendly fun activities at the site. (moon walk and other family fun). We are looking into having a Community wide cook out for the afternoon and evening of the 28th. We are looking for some residents who are willing to help for the Triathlon (In the morning) and also some residents who would like to help plan the Residents Cook Out (for the afternoon). Please contact us if you are interested in helping.

More information will be forthcoming via this web site and e-mail, and the promoters will be joining us at our meeting on April 14th to discuss their events and address questions.
