Spring Picnic 2012

It was a beautiful day for a picnic with the temperature in the low 80s, bright sun and no rain. There was lots of delicious food, potato salad, coleslaw, cheese grits, peach cobbler and fried chicken bought from Nell’s in Branford. The fish and hush puppies were fried up tastefully by our volunteers and the Trepo ladies as usual brought their delicious desserts. Lunch was served at 11:45 A.M.

We had lots of music from the Up The Creek blue grass band who played from 11:00A.M. until 1:00 P.M. Many of our members from out of town enjoyed the company visiting with seldom seen friends while our full time residents enjoyed themselves too.

There were lots of volunteers making this a fun day. Some cooked the fish, some served dinner, others sold t-shirts and 50/50 tickets and many others helped put up and take down the tents and tables.

The cook team; JD HOWELL, WALLY KITCHENS, JOE DOHRN, SHERIFF MARK HUNTER, CHARLIE ARNETT, DAN SPRADLEY, MIKE FORET, B. KITCHENS, AND DAVID MILLIGAN AND GLENN HUNTER.

The servers and sales team; CELISE SHENISE, MILLIE MCGHEE, PHYL REA, KAREN FAUNCE, JOANNA KEPPLE, KAREN MULLINS, ROXANNE GARREN, REBA GREULING, KAREN WHEARY AND LAURA DAILEY.

JULE MCGHEE, ROBBIE ROWE, ROBERT KENNEDY, JUSTIN GUTHRIE, MIKE FORET, AND CHARLIE ARNETT helped put up the tents and clean up after the picnic

Without this out pouring of assistance, the picnic could never happen. I want to thank them very much.

TO TREPO MEMBERS:

This coming October at our annual Bar-B-Que and Members meeting, we will be holding our elections. Many of our Board of Directors will need to be re-elected and all of the officers so we are looking for some community spirited members to help fill out any vacant seats.

These are volunteer positions that come with lots of work and self gratification but no money. All Board Members and Officers are required to have a phone and email access.

The Board Members must be able to attend a Board meeting once a month, volunteer on committees, and for other events such as: being a gate greeter, helping with the picnics and anything else they are capable of doing. All committees are chaired by a Board member.

The President has to attend all meetings including committees and is in charge of the picnics, twice a year. He/she is also the face of Trepo and represents Trepo to the community and signs all legal documents.

The Vice President must stand ready to take over for the President if needed and be prepared to assist the President as requested by the President.

The Secretary takes the meeting notes, transcribes them and picks up the mail.

The Treasurer writes the checks, gets with the bookkeeper once a month to go over the accounts and then reports to the Board.

If you feel you would like to fill one of these positions please fill out an application ( in the newsletter or on the website). You must have your application in by August 1 because of the ballot printing deadline.

If you would like to discuss this further before deciding, you may call an Election Committee Member for more information.

Application for TREPO Office

Thanks to John Bryant and George Duren the new pavilion on the Suwannee side of Trepo is done and ready to be enjoyed. Look for further improvements on both sides, coming soon.

Thanks!

We would like to thank the Busy Bees Women's Club, most of whom members are also Trepo members, for their volunteer work in cleaning up the front entrance to Trepo and policing the other parks on Tues. March 27. Your work is greatly appreciated.

JUST A REMINDER

Glass bottles and dogs of all sizes are not allowed in Hodor Park because of liability issues. Please refrain from bringing them. Dogs are allowed at the Fishing Park on Sante Fe Dr. past the Boat Ramp and while boarding boats at the Boat Ramp.

Also large groups, over 12, need to contact the President, Robert Greuling at 386-497-3860 in advance and bring your group in at the clubhouse gate. This is to ensure the safety of all. The road is public and can be dangerous for those unloading people and tubes.
