Chairman’s Report

Gatewood Friends,

I wish to thank each of you for allowing me to serve as your chairman for the year 2022. Having been involved on 3 HOA boards in my past, I did not look forward to serving my “sentence,” as Chair. However, I am overwhelmed with the leadership of every member of our board. Each one is committed to making Gatewood the best community possible. Everyone takes each challenge and deals with it to ensure a positive outcome for our membership. We have many challenges ahead of us in the way of our storm water and sewer issues related to the two new developments being established above us. Please thank Doug Collins and Chuck Kelley for the endless hours and days they have worked on these issues. The ever increasing numbers attending events at the clubhouse, particularly happy hour and trivia night are reflective of the tireless work of the clubhouse committee volunteers. They are very talented in painting, cleaning (particularly bathrooms), Power washing, landscaping, and any other labor of love that benefits OUR club. Pickleball is becoming more and more popular and the racquet committee is making great strides to provide better facilities for tennis and Pickleball. Our annual meeting is scheduled to be held on June 20. Times and other details will be provided as soon as they are available. If you have any items to offer for any board meeting or for our annual meeting please provide them to Donna. It is my fervent belief that our manager, Wilson Bruce is everywhere and can do anything. During the ice storm when I was getting calls about downed trees, I found Wilson in the middle of the street taking care of that. When we had the new river flooding across Brookfield Drive, I found Wilson directing traffic and emergency vehicles. I had no idea that he would be on call 24 hours a day. But he is always available and I wish to thank him for all that he does.

Thank you for your support.

Bill Stevens
