ANNUAL MEMBERS MEETING
The Annual Members Meeting will be held on Saturday,
August 9th, 2008 at the Ellijay Elementary School.
This year’s meeting will be a very important
one and all owners are encouraged to attend. This
year we will be voting on three different matters
at the meeting instead of by ballot. The three matters
are: election of board members, bylaw change on how
villa assessments are calculated and merging the CRRA
with the villa association. All owners are encouraged
to attend in person, but if they are not able, please
send in a signed proxy so that we can have enough
participation to hold the meeting. If enough
members are not present or send their proxy, the meeting
will have to be cancelled and rescheduled which would
cost the association thousands of dollars.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
The next board meeting will be held during the Annual
Members Meeting on Saturday, August 9, 2008.
The next two Board of Director's Meetings will be
held Saturday, September 13, 2008 and October 11,
2008. The meeting will start at 10:00 AM in the Water
Tower Conference Center.
All board meetings are scheduled for the second Saturday
of each month. The meetings are regularly held at
the Water Tower Conference Center and the open sessions
begins at 10:00 AM.
 BREAK-INS
AND BURGLARIES
Whenever there is a downturn in the economy, such
as we are currently experiencing, the criminal element
and their activity becomes more noticeable and active.
Here in the CRRA we are experiencing such an event.
Over the course of the past couple of months there
have been numerous break-ins and burglaries inside
the CRRA. Investigators with the Gilmer County Sheriff’s
Department are working hard on the cases and hope
to resolve them soon. It is important that our owners
and members take an active role in protecting their
property and the property of their neighbors. We should
all be aware of any unusual activity taking place,
especially in those homes that are not occupied on
a full time basis.
If you see any vehicles / individuals acting in a
suspicious manner, please immediately contact the
Gilmer County Sheriff’s department at 706-635-4646
or public safety at 706-635-5680 . Should you spot
any of these vehicles, please report the tag number
and any other information in as much detail as possible.
IMPORTANT VOTES REGARDING CRRA BYLAWS COMING
SOON
At the most recent board meeting, the CRRA Board
of Directors voted to present two very important issues
to the membership for consideration. The board is
recommending two separate matters be approved:
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM
The Coosawattee River Resort Association (CRRA) is
spread over 8000(?) acres and is generally composed
of wooded home lots. Some homes are not in sight of
a neighbor and, in some cases, well off a main road.
Many homes are second homes and only occupied periodically.
Daily, hundreds of non-residents access the CRRA.
Our Public Safety Patrols do a great job but they
need our help in providing property security. You,
using your powers of observation, can be of great
help to the safety and security of your and your neighbor’s
property. By signing up to join a Neighborhood Watch,
you will join a group of your neighbors to discuss
community concerns and develop a plan for action,
start a phone contact list and take steps to increase
security. When citizens take positive steps to secure
their own property and neighbors learn how to report
suspicious activity around their homes and their neighbors,
burglary and related offenses decrease dramatically.
If you are interested in setting up and joining a
Neighborhood Watch, contact Gail Williamson Director
of Public Safety,
