    Holiday Island Newletter                                June 2013

The pool is open and that is the unofficial start of the summer on Holiday Island.  I hope everyone enjoys all the fun things to do this summer.  The pool looks great, the tennis courtand park have been cleaned up, the boat ramps are ready and the fish and crabs are waiting to be caught.  So get out of your house and have some fun.

Events are being planned for your ejoyment...ice cream socials, adult and family night at the pool, a Fourth of  July family picnic and the always terrific Luou.  More information will be forthcoming.  Please join your neighbors and friends for these fun events.                                      

Thank you for your donations.  So many property owners have sent in extra cash with their assessment payments.  These donations will help keep our community going.  Your generosity is certainly appreciated.

The long awaited transfer of the Waste Water Treatment Plant has been completed.  Water and sewage service in Section H, P and R are now handled by Minzies Creek Sanitary District.  Please send all payments to and correspondence to MCSD.  Congradulations and good luck to our friends and neighbors lining in Camp Holiday.

Remember the kids are riding their bikes and playing all over the island.  More and more golf carts are taking to the streets during the summer season.Please be extra careful as you drive your carts around the island.

Again, I thank you for all your support.  You make Holiday Island a great place to be.                        Jerry Rafal, HIPOA President
