Road & Parkway Invoice

All Awosting residents are required to pay the annual Road & Parkway (R&P) assessment as stated in our By-Laws Article VII, Section 5 which is due April 15th. Please pay this fee separately from the membership dues.

Those properties that have not paid their 2011 R&P fees by April 15, 2012 will have their account forwarded to our attorney for the collection of 2011 and 2012 R&P fees. All late fees, collection fees and attorney's fees are the responsibility of the homeowner.

FYI: Last year we initiated legal action against residents that were delinquent in their Road & Parkway assessments. It is not fair to the families that pay on time to have to carry the share of those who are delinquent.

Membership Dues

Membership Dues are due by May 15th. Please use a separate check from R&P to pay the membership dues.

NOTE: If you are a single senior and at least 62 years of age, please contact our Treasurer, Jamie Dykes at awosting@greaterpatersoncc.org for a discount in your membership dues. This discount is not automatic.

A survey has been included in the mailing to ascertain our Awosting population so that the Board can allocate appropriate funds for the maximum benefit of the membership. To best make this determination we need to know as accurately as possible, who we're serving. This information is for planning purposes only. The survey may be sent back via:

• mail with your paid invoice;
• email to membership@awosting.org by filling out the survey electronically (click on attachment), print it then scan and send via email;
• fax to membership at (866) 591-3536.

Dock Update

For Dock Assignees: The dumpster for dock clean-up has been removed. Please clean up your own Parkway sections of building material as you complete your project. Please remember to restore the Parkway's original contour (remove all machine ruts) and re-seed where needed. You will be billed for any restorative work performed by the Association on your behalf.

For All Residents: There has been a lot of activity on the repairing of docks up and down the Parkway. Most have been repaired, renovated, or shored up and are ready for the summer season. Others still need work before they are safe dock spaces. The assignees of those unsafe dock spaces have been notified of the need to repair them and have, in turn, communicated back to the Board of their intent to remedy the safety issues before the summer boating season.  

Lake Drawdown

The lake damn gate was closed on February 12, 2012. As it rains, the lake waters will naturally rise to the standard level. The lake has already begun to rise. According to our reckoning it's up about 6 inches. 

Inn Update

New News: As you might have read in the newspapers, all 5 positions on the MUA commission resigned recently. All new commissioners have been appointed. One of the first commissioners to be appointed was our own Awosting resident Carol Hardy.

Recap: The new Inn location has sewer hook-up approved by MUA. The MUA is working on approving the water hook-up for the Inn. 

Other News

Rules Enforcement

As the warmer weather approaches and landscapers return to our community to assist in maintaining our beautiful community, please speak with your landscaper to ensure that they clean up any debris and take it with them. There is no dumping of any debris on Awosting property.
