Weekend News Wrap-up
CHPOA Annual Meeting
The Association annual meeting, held this past Saturday at the St. Marys Middle School auditorium, went smoothly with around 100 people in attendance. The remote listening function unfortunately did not work possibly due to the building's metal frame.

CHPOA President, Paul Gommo presided. Speakers included other members of the CHPOA Interim Board, Michelle Deis, David Cohen, Helen Ownby & Bernie Huber; Joe Gregory, Chairman of the Design Review Board; Buddy Mays, Team Leader-Securitas Security company; Heritage Property Management's Kyle Waidner & Gavin Cobb; and Community Solutions Management's CH on-ground manager, Melodye Pitts.

Questions from the floor and previously sent emails were answered. Afterwards, a well-attended pizza part for owners was held on the property at the Spring House from 6:00 until after 8:00 p.m.

St. Marys River Celebration and Cleanup
The St. Marys River Cleanup was a great success. Bill Bruce, who coordinated participation by Cumberland Harbour's owners, reported, "There was a great turnout and a generous spirit from the Cumberland Harbour participants, and many, many, many bags of trash and recyclables were collected. I look forward to our participating in this event again next year, although perhaps with fewer boats and more shore-based activity."

Brian Timberlake suggested next year CH participants hold their own cookout here on the property, rather than drive or boat to White Oak for lunch. Apparently, by the time several CH participants arrived at White Oak for lunch, there was no food left.

Annual Meeting Advance Question Reminder
Don't forget the Thursday, Mar. 18, 5:00 p.m. deadline for emailing questions in advance for the CHPOA Annual Meeting to be held this Saturday, Mar. 20, 1:30 p.m., at St. Marys Middle School Auditorium.

Georgia Bicycle Group visits Cumberland Harbour
Bicycle Ride Across Georgia ("BRAG"), a non-profit group dedicated to cycling and bike safety, visited Cumberland Harbour during their 2010 Winter Ride. Coordinated in advance through the CH POA, the St. Marys Tourism Center and the Camden Bicycle Shop, 35 riders arrived at Cumberland Harbour on the morning February 17 to take part in an escorted bike tour of the community. On the same day, the group also toured the Navy Base and other locations throughout Camden County.

For its annual Winter Ride, BRAG chooses a hub, from which they do daily rides, returning to the hub each evening. St. Marys was this year's hub, and other daily tours included the Okefenokee Swamp and Amelia Island.

In addition to promoting cycling by its members, BRAG supports several worthy causes, such as the Team Special Olympics Georgia, and the BRAG Dream Team. More info about the group can be found at its website: http://www.brag.org/ and at
