Chili Cook-off, Saturday, October 5th

All CHA members and their guests are invited to our 3rd annual Chili Cook-off. This year it will be Saturday, October 5th, 2pm to 5pm at our clubhouse. 

Keith, our clubhouse manager and creator of our first Chili Cook-off, tells us that this year there will be 3 categories to be judged: Chili (of course), side dishes, and desserts!

This is a potluck event that has become quite popular! So please plan on joining us, bring your best Chili concoction, side, or dessert. Or just bring your appetite and be prepared to vote on the best. Soda, water, coffee, spoons, and bowls will be provided, If you want an adult beverage with your Chili, you must bring your own.

Rumors are that Year 1 champion Ken Ranger is hoping to snatch the “Best Chili Crown” back from last year’s winner Deb Stratton. Sounds delicious!

New Nature Preserve Update

Please join Beth Verhey, vice president of non-profit New Community Vision, on Monday, August 12, at 10:00 AM, at the CHA clubhouse where she will explain their efforts to create a nature preserve and attainable housing on the former Timber Shores property (south of Northport). She’ll update us on the recent grants and about the partnerships they have established with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and Larry Mawby’s Peninsula Housing. This is an exciting opportunity to preserve this 214 acre ecologically important lakeshore property.

This event is open to all CHA members and friends who would like more information about what NCV is proposing for our community. 

Coffee and donuts will be served.

New Door Lock, Web Password, Directory

Clubhouse Door Lock

The rear door lock on the clubhouse has been updated to a more modern, web-enabled lock. While the old lock itself was functioning just fine, the programming software for it (to add and remove member codes) had long been discontinued and was no longer available to download and install on a newer computer. So the association was stuck trying to keep an old Windows 7 (also long discontinued) laptop functioning just to keep the old software running. In other words, it was time.

Going forward, we’ll use a single entry code for everyone and change it occasionally as needed. Please check your email, including your spam folder, as the new code was sent out yesterday.

Owners’ Section Website Password

The Board of Directors decided that it is time to update the password to this website’s owners section effective immediately. The previous password had been in use since 2020 and with the various changes to property ownership, the board felt that it is a good time to do this. The new password was included in the email mentioned above.

CHA Directory

The updated 2024 CHA Directory is available now. The directory has contact information for all CHA residents except those who asked to not be included. Thanks to Tim Claflin for keeping this file up to date! If you were included in the directory, you should have received a copy with the above mentioned email. If you weren’t included and would like to be, or have other changes, please use the Contact link above to let us know what changes are needed.
