SPRING POND ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
ANNUAL MEETING - JUNE 10, 2025
PRESIDENT - A special Board of Directors Meeting was held at 6:00 PM to officially appoint the officers who will be representing the Board in the upcoming year. President Page called the Annual Meeting to order at 6:30 PM with all Board Members and Officers in attendance and welcomed back Vice President Pat Mirisola and Board Member Frank McClellan. He also congratulated Bob Milbury on his newly elected position as Board Member.
There was a moment of silence in memory of the recent loss of our neighbor and friend, Sally Hudgins.
President Page then instructed Association Members in attendance to refer to the informational packet that they each received and to use the enclosed meeting agenda as a guideline for following the order of business to be discussed.
He first addressed the following items:
The need for more committee members and Board of Director volunteers, and that if we don’t have enough in-house participation, we will be forced to contract out a property manager which would add a significant financial burden to our Association.
Welcoming to our community, Gail Marshall, Eileen, Barry & Bennie Leibowitz, Athena & Victor Cerulli, Stephen & Lisi Lewis with additional new neighbors to follow.
Reminder to homeowners to clean their dryer vents on an annual basis, adding exterior power washing is the homeowner’s responsibility.
The transfer of deed from Walter Wood to the SPEHOA has been completed.
Most recent copy of the Association’s By-Laws and Covenants are available on our website

TREASURER - Treasurer Joe Strazzere reminded homeowners that two main components are funded by our HOA Fees, namely Operating Expenses and Reserves.
