On Tuesday February 2, 2010, Sudden Valley received a signed Memorandum of Understanding from the US Postal Service for the installation of cluster boxes throughout the community. The SVCA can now move forward in partnership with the Post Office. This is the first step toward completion of this project that began approximately five years ago. A full update will appear in the March Views and on the Sudden Valley web site.
January 25th, at the regularly scheduled board meeting, the Sudden Valley Board of Directors approved the new recreation fee schedule.
These fees are approved annually by the board of directors to offset the expense of providing these amenities to the members and non-members.
The Marina fees for the non-members are being discussed at the February work session (see the website calendar for dates, times and location of these meetings).
The fees are listed by department if you have any questions concerning these fees please contact the General Manager, Dave Wareing at 360-734-6430.
