Minutes from Annual Meeting

 SPEHO ANNUAL MEETING - JUNE 13, 2023


The SPEHOA Annual meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM at which time President Bill Bannister welcomed the homeowners and requested a moment of silence in memory of our neighbors, friends and family members whom we have lost over the past year and will be sorely missed. He also welcomed the new Board members and thanked all the homeowners who have helped by being on the board and serving on committees. He then turned the meeting over to Vice president Rob Milbury. 

Vice president Milbury had some reminders and announcements. Homeowners must provide proof of insurance each year and were asked to sign up for committees and update information for the Phone Directory. Eleanor Rotsko will be the recording secretary. The mortgage for the Community Center has been paid off. The deed for the property surrounding the Community Center was registered with York County, and work on updating the By-laws and Covenants can now proceed.
