For the first time since 2019, Sunland North had a holiday party under the bright, glittering lights of Blyn. Attendance was down a bit from past years. It was still a welcome winter break.

Sunland North ballot stuffing
In an undisclosed garage in Sunland North, several volunteers got together on Friday, August 5, to stuff envelopes full of material for the Sunland Division 17 Annual Member Meeting on September 14. While that seems a long way away, we are using mail-in ballots for our Board election and other association decisions this year, and we want to make sure everyone gets their ballots, votes, and mails the ballots back in time to be counted before the annual meeting.
There are nine pages of information, with every page but one printed double-sided. You can expect to see them in your mailbox starting the week of August 7. Please return the ballot and quorum form (the only page printed on a yellow sheet) as soon as possible.
If you live in the Sequim area and don’t get a ballot by August 15, please contact me and I will check into the matter. Out-of-area members should contact me if they don’t receive anything by August 24.
I wish to thank George Bannon, Ronnie Bannon, Rindy Hainstock, Wende Ang, Bob Eifant, Susan Hamman and Tom Hamman for their invaluable help in assembling the meeting packets, placing mailing labels on everything, and then checking the packets to make sure we hadn’t missed anyone. And thank you, Wende, for documenting our work.
