Apex Property Owners Association

Coming up on January 8th, 2005 is the second Annual Appie Crawl and Membership Drive. This will be starting at the Three Thirty Grill at 3:30pm. All those who have their memberships paid up on or before this date will be entered into the draw for some awesome prizes. The draws will happen at the Gunbarrel Saloon, our last venue on the Appie Crawl. Membership forms available at the start of Crawl or on this website.

If there is anyone who would like to donate prizes for the draw you can contact me, Cindi, at 250-292-8353. We have had a great response from local businesses and this is so appreciated! Hope to see you there!

As I sit at my desk writing my first report to you as President of the APOA, the sun is shining and the snow is beckoning me to dust off the snowshoes, tune up the skis and wish that I had spent more time getting in shape! We are all looking forward to another great winter season at our favorite mountain.

Your APOA board members have been busy volunteering their time to help with many different projects, and we are all felling lucky to have Toni getting and keeping (!) us organized and focused. We have formed several committees to deal with the many issues at hand and great progress is being made. I have to thank all the board member for all their energy, enthusiasm and resourcefulness. I have been caught up in their great community spirit, and the desire to help create a well rounded, vibrant mountain community that will support all sports, seasons, ages and interests. On that note, we would greatly appreciate any help from non board members; join a committee, voice your opinion, help organize a party, encourage more memberships!

On behalf of the APOA, I would like to extend our condolences to the Penticton Indian Band for the tragic events of October 30th.

PLEASE remember to DRIVE SLOWLY and carefully through the Penticton Indian Band’s Reserve, especially the village! The tribal police have been policing Green Mtn Road and are unhappy with the number of speeders and accidents. A notice from GM Jeff Plant can be found on the web site. Please also remember to watch your speed as you drive through the residential area of Apex!

Hi everybody! Just a quick update as we wait and pray for the BIG Dump! We did have a good amount of snow Thursday morning when we woke up. Enough to get excited about and get the cross country good again. The mountain has been working hard to get snow made to accomodate the camps who are here for early season training.

The next newsletter is soon to be mailed out by the RDOS as there is important info regarding the fire protection issue and that info needs to reach all property owners and not just the ones who support this association. As we are not able to access that mailing list, the RDOS will kindly forward this info for us. This has postponed the mailout as we wait for approval of the content of the newsletter. We are hoping that future newsletters will also be on this site for your reading pleasure.

Yesterday I recieved an invitation to a fundraiser for the Apex Ski Club. It will be held at the Gunbarrel on Dec. 3/04. It starts at 7pm and it is a Dinner and Goods and Services Auction. Tickets are $30.00. Everyone’s welcome to come out and support Apexes young atheletes. I am sorry but I don’t have the contact numbers in front of me.

That is all for now. Expect your next newsletter in the mail before the end of the month. We are starting our membership drive for 2005 memberships. If you have a new neighbour, be sure to let them know about us. Give them an opportunity to get involved in this unique community! See you soon in the lift lines. It won’t be long now! Pray for snow!

Hi everybody! It is a beautiful day on the mountain! The sun is shining today but the temps remain cold. It’s been snowing fairly consistently all week. Can’t help but feel excited about the fast approaching ski season! The hill looks amazing!!

The Apex Property Owner’s Association continues to work actively on your behalf. The next newsletter is currently being worked on to keep you up to date on what is happening with the various issues affecting us. These include the Official Community Plan, the Fire Dept. Feasibility study results, the logging in the Nickleplate/Okanagan Vista areas, upcoming social events and more. We are also looking at improving our information available to you on this Web Link. Please accept my apology for the lack of current info on this site so far. It has and will be a work in progress. We do have big plans to make this a more user friendly site.

There have been some changes in the executive of APOA, with myself stepping down as President, as my other committments in life became too consuming. Barb Davis has succumbed to our begging and agreed to be our President. She will be great as she has vast experience with boards and committees and the RDOS. I will be giving more attention to the Social and Communication aspects of the APOA.
Toni Clarke has become our secretary and is busy instilling order and organization like this board has never seen before! Things are looking up!

I’ll sign off for today, but will endeavor to keep you better informed! Thanks for your support! Pray for snow, see you soon!
