Chair Remarks – 10/24/2024

Since tonight’s Agenda is long, I will keep my thank-you comments short.

Special thanks to the volunteers who quietly, and creatively, continue to decorate Black Point entry areas and our Clubhouse signage with
their festive seasonal displays, often at their own expense.

Thanks also to the Members who introduced the first-ever Scarecrow Contest – a contest with no rules, and no prizes. About 60-70 of these quirky creatures now hilariously haunt our neighborhoods.

Thanks to the Member who recently donated a kitchen island for use in our Clubhouse, and to the team that provided carpentry skills to
put it on coasters and secure its doors.

At a recent 2-hour DEEP presentation conducted at Ft. Trumbull for interested area association members, Black Point was represented by
10 Board and Member participants, about 30% of the total assembled audience that night. Thanks for that show of force – and interest.

Finally, thanks to the Board of Governors for the many, many hours they put into research, meetings, and Member conversations every
day. Yes, there are sometimes stark differences of opinion within this Board, but the diversity of their ideas, combined with the their unified
commitments to Black Point’s prosperity, is truly amazing.

Jim Schepker, Chair
