DELINQUENT HOME OWNERS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING DEBT FROM PREVIOUS
YEARS AND IS STILL DUE.
The new year Annual Maintenance Fee for 2007
is in addition to your already previous delinquent account and
will be added to the total due.
If you are having financial
difficulty, come to the Board of Directors meeting to discuss
your problem or write a letter to us and request a meeting to
work out a payment plan.
In the past 2 years we have had 4 homeowners
that had Foreclosure Lawsuits filed against them and ultimately
the homes were repossessed through the foreclosure proceedings.
Don't let this happen to you.

TO ALL NEW HOMEOWNERS who have moved in
during the year 2006.
The Brays Forest Improvement Corporation
holds its' Board of Directors Meeting at
It should be pointed out here that for the
whole year of 2006, only 14 homeowners came to the meetings and
participated. That's pretty sad and makes you wonder if any
of the homeowners even care about the Brays Forest Subdivision
and what is taking place!
We hope that the Year 2007 will be better.

Directors Meeting scheduled for

and want to serve on the Board, or if you think that you want new
Officers of Members to be elected, this is the opportunity to

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES for 2007
It is anticipated that our Swimming Pool and
recreational facilities will be open and available for all Brays
Forest Subdivision families this coming summer.
The amount of ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEES
collected and available for the hiring of Certified Life Guards
and additional cost of operation will determine whether we can
operate on a full week schedule or a part-time schedule (i.e.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
Additionally, we need some volunteers to
step-forward and caretake the supervision of the Life Guards and
operation of the recreational facilities during the projected
three summer months.
All homeowners must remember, that we are
still trying to operate on the Annual Maintenance Fee of $144.00
per home that was set in 1972 - and was
sufficient for 1972 - but totally and completely
insufficient for 2007 !!
We tried in 2005 to get an increase in this
fee from $12.00 a month to $20.00 a month (or $1.85
a week extra), in order to come up to current financial operating
levels.
Out of 245 homeowners that were eligible to
vote, only 111 voted - and of this figure - only 77 voted
affirmative. You can draw your own conclusion on how little
support we are receiving.
