Annual Owners' Meeting
Welcome to the Annual Owners’ Weekend!
We are excited to welcome our owners home for the annual meeting October 16-18. Fall is a lovely time in The Plantation, and we are pleased that so many of you travel for this annual event. A lot of special activities are happening, beginning on Friday, October 16, and concluding Sunday, October 18, and we encourage you to take part in as many activities as you can.
The schedule for the weekend is evolving and will be updated with more details as they become available. There will be signups for all activities, which include a Friday night cocktail party, a fun run, a tennis social, a cornhole tournament, and pickleball. Owners only are encouraged to attend the Saturday business meeting which will include the election of two board of director members, a budget workshop, a report-out of Plantation business and the board’s selection of officers for the next year.
Various committees started planning for this event in August and we appreciate their efforts. Our committees are manned by volunteers.
Here’s what we have planned so far:
ArtSocial Committee
The ArtSocial Committee sponsors the annual cocktail party held the Friday night before the annual meeting. This event is from 5-8 p.m. in the Plantation Room of the Magnolia Clubhouse. This year’s event will have a welcoming island theme and feature live music and small plates from Tamara’s on the go.
The event is free for owners. A sign-up sheet will be circulated in September. We are still ironing out all the details. More to come!
Recreation Committee
The Recreation Committee is sponsoring three days of activities open to owners and guests. These include:
- A Friday morning fun run for all ages, with trophies for first, second and third place. An overall winner will receive a $50 gas card! All participants receive a complimentary Plantation Fun Run T-shirt.
- The traditional tennis social Friday morning at the Magnolia Court. Refreshments will be provided.
- A first-ever cornhole tournament at the Magnolia Clubhouse starting Saturday afternoon. Grab a partner and come compete for bragging rights and some Plantation swag!
- Sunday morning pickleball closes out the weekend. We seem to have a growing number of players. This event promises to be a great time!
Finance Committee
For the first time, the Finance Committee will present a draft budget during a budget workshop beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 17 in the Plantation Room, just before the Annual Owners’ Meeting.
This workshop will allow owners to see year-to-date financials through the end of September, and the estimated expenditures and revenues for the last three months of the year. This will provide a more comprehensive look for owners and allow them the opportunity to ask questions. Draft documents will be posted online prior to this meeting.
