Riverwatchers,

We sincerely hope everyone is safe during these troubled times. We will be postponing the HoA annual meeting, scheduled for March 30th until further notice. In the meantime, we are exploring other means of communication, like teleconferencing. We’ll get back to everyone as soon as we have a solution.

Please follow the guidelines and be safe.

Riverwatchers,

It has been my pleasure serving on your board of directors as president for the last 3 years. I am very proud of the board’s accomplishments during my tenure on the board. I would also like to thank Walter Johnson and Cathy Putnick for their participation on the board. We truly do have great people and a great place to live here in Riverwatch.

The time is approaching rapidly for the association’s annual meeting, March 30th, at 6:00 PM at the Gloucester Library. The purpose of this meeting is to elect members to the board. If you can’t make it, please use the nomination form you received from the management company and nominate yourself or one of the interested people mentioned below. This year we will be replacing 3 members, Mike AtLee, Walter Johnson and Cathy Putnick. Please return the form as soon as possible. We have 3 people that have shown an interest in serving on the board, Travis Haurand, Nicole Michael and Forrest Jordan. They are all up for nomination and along with Charlie Patullo and Bill Zeller they will make up a terffic board.

Again, this is only the annual meeting to elect officers to the board, not a typical board meeting. We will also be able to take nominations from the floor.

Thanks,

Riverwatchers,

Happy New Year and welcome to 2020. I hope everyone had a terrific holiday. We have a board of directors meeting coming up Monday the 13th and as always, everyone is welcome to attend. The meeting will be held at the Gloucester public library in conference room “A” starting at 6:00 PM. For those of you that won’t be able to make it, I am attaching a copy of the agenda (view agenda) and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me or anyone on the board. I don’t anticipate our meeting to go for more than an hour to an hour and a half. For those of you that have attended our board meetings in the past, you are probably wondering why we are not holding it at the Piantakant Community center in Harcum. The reason is that they have doubled the price for using the facility and it doesn’t make sense to waste the association’s funds. By the way, if you are so inclined, there a plenty of good eating places around the library either before or after the meeting.

We look forward to seeing everyone Monday evening.

Thanks,

Riverwatchers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, it seemed to go by fast. Well, It’s time to ring in the new year and as usual, reflect on the old year in the process.

The HoA had a fantastic year in 2019, here are some of the highlights:

• Landscaping completed for the entire neighborhood
• The new paint job on the pavilion
• The pool parking lot resealed and new lines painted, looks new
• Dock repaired, water lines placed to the end of the dock, as well as electricity, boards stained and safety ladders placed on both ends of the dock.
• New lawn service, kept the grass looking good throughout the neighborhood. The first time we have ever had the leaves cleaned up for the winter.
• Terrific social get-togethers, extended into this fall and winter. If you haven’t attended any, please take advantage of them, lots of fun.
• First Christmas ugly sweater contest.
• First Christmas float parade, even Santa showed up and gave out candy canes
• Successful Charity race in June for VA Special Olympics
• No dues increased, finances are in great shape
• 3 new homes under construction, very soon to have new neighbors, please reach out and welcome them

Upcoming events in 2020:
