As a follow-up to Dave’s announcement of a clean-up project at the pass thru, we’ve posted a letter from Kristin Marshall, Habitat Restoration Specialist from the Snohomish County Conservation District in support of the association’s efforts. Clearing invasive species from the pass thru will allow greater access to the water and improve the ecology of our community land. You can find the letter by clicking on the Shoreline Information tab.

Town Hall Meeting to discuss Tracts A&B Encroachment, Removal & Repair, Sunday, April 27, 3-5:30pm
As you may have noticed on the agenda for the February 9th Special Meeting, the board intended to discuss in more detail the effort underway to survey and remove encroachments on shared community property Tracts A and B. We’ve noticed there are still many questions coming up on this initiative and we wanted to give you a chance to share your thoughts, but unfortunately we ran out of time. We were unable to allow the February 9th meeting to run over the scheduled 5pm meeting end time, due to another party having reservations for the venue. Therefore, we invite you to attend a Town Hall meeting to discuss the plans for and issues related to the Tract A and B survey, identifying encroachments, removing them, and restoring these areas to their natural state. Please save the date and plan to attend. This is a Town Hall meeting and not a Special meeting, so no proxies will be collected.
WHAT: LBCA Town Hall Meeting
WHERE: Camano Center, 121 N. East Camano Drive, Camano Island (next to CASA)
WHEN: Sunday, April 27th, 3:00 – 5:30 pm
WHY: Open community dialogue and Q&A about the process of Tract encroachment,
Removal and Repair.
LBCA Special Meeting Feb. 9 at 3pm
Please save the date and plan to attend or send a representative/proxy to the next LBCA Special Meeting. To avoid the Super Bowl, it is now scheduled for Feb 9 (some of you may have Feb 2 on your calendar–please note the change).
Attached is an agenda and the proxy form with additional details. You may also send your own version of a proxy form if you wish.
Happy New Year

As in the past, the Rochons will collect donations to the Stanwood Food Bank and to Davis Place at the Stanwood Resource Center. If you are not able to attend the social and would still like to donate, please feel free to drop it by. Donations will be dropped off on Monday, December 16th.
“There will be hot chocolate and apple cider. If you would like to bring something, cookies, brownies, pumpkin bread, or something else yummy will go well with the warm drinks. Please dress warm as the party will be in the open garage and outside in the driveway by the warm heaters and fires pits. And maybe we will see Santa again? What a great time we have at our holiday social! Thanks to everyone who has joined us in the past and we are looking forward to visiting with family, friends, and neighbors and hope that you will be able to join us. If you have any questions, please contact us at 360-547-6455 or bradandshannonrochon@gmail.com.”
Thanks to Brad and Shannon for hosting and for arranging the holiday food collection. It’s certainly in the spirit of the season!
