Highland Lakes

The Highland Lakes Voting Board is scheduled to meet at 8 pm this Friday, January 15 in the Lake Room of the clubhouse. The board generally meets on the third Friday of most months to review the current activities and business of the Club. The meeting agenda always includes time allotted for reports from individual committees, a review of the Club’s current budget, correspondence, legal matters, and a discussion of old and new business. Towards the end of the meeting the floor is open to members and all who wish to share their views on any Club related topic are encouraged to speak. Time is permitted at the beginning of each meeting for members to express views on any topic scheduled for a vote that night.

Matters that will be considered this Friday include:

• A request for use of the Clubhouse by the Vernon Coalition, an organization supported by the Center for Prevention in Newton, NJ that previously received permission for use of Club facilities.  Its mission is to be a proactive force in reducing youth alcohol and other drug use while promoting healthy lifestyle choices in Vernon Township.
• A motion adopting the Fiscal Year 2016 Capital Fund budget, as prepared by the Administration Committee
• Balloting for appointments to the Nominating Committee

Attending board meetings and workshops is a great way for members to become knowledgeable about the issues that the Club faces, to gain an understanding of what various committees are working on and become acquainted with board officers and the trustees who represent the various sections of our community. Meetings are typically two to three hours in length,
