Bayside Beach Association Board Candidates <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joe Bohez <\/strong>\u2013 Joe has lived in\nWest Bloomfield for 33 years, 26 of those years as a member of Bayside Beach\nAssociation.  He has previously served on\nthe Bayside Beach Board of Directors.  He\nregularly contributes to making the beach a pleasurable place to enjoy summer\nevents, especially with several beach event set-ups and food service, i.e. at\nMusic on the Lake. Joe planted several bushes on the beach property so as to\nhelp the association fulfill the requirements for the West Bloomfield Wetlands\npermit that was procured for the boat ramp replacement project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Hare<\/strong> \u2013 Dean moved to West Bloomfield in 1974 residing on Colony Drive and Middle\nStraits Lake at that time. He graduated from Walled Lake Central High School in\n1976, after which he moved away for several years. Dean moved into his present\nhome in 1994, joining Bayside Beach that same year. For the first few years of\nmembership, Dean served his work hours at the beach by doing weekly beach\nclean-ups. For several years, he served as the dock chairman, prior to Allen\nOblak. Most recently, for the past 5 years, Dean has served as the beach\nassociation\u2019s work assessment chairman, a position requiring a major time\ncommitment and much organization. He works with beach members to encourage them\nto sign up and complete their beach work hours. For the past 3 years, Dean has\nbeen the board alternate. Dean\u2019s goals for the beach are to make our beautiful\nbeach clean and enjoyable for all members and to work at full membership\ncompliance with work hour completion. Also, as a board member, he hopes to\nassist the board with making our beach association move forward on\nimprovements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has served on the board of directors for\nover 14 years.  Dave continually works to\nhelp oversee, improve, and repair our beach property.  He spearheaded the building of our beach\nproperty\u2019s storage facility and voluntarily communicates with contractors to\nensure proper maintenance and improvement of the beach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chuck Safalian<\/strong> \u2013 Chuck is a relatively new member of the Bayside Beach Association, having\nmoved next door to the beach in October 2014. \nHe and his family have lived in West Bloomfield for 19 years. You may\nhave seen and heard Chuck perform at our Music on the Lake events in the band,\nEddie and the Hip Breakers.  He plays the\nbass guitar. As an employee of General Motors, Chuck was a mechanical\nengineer.  Most recently, he has been\ninvolved in home renovation projects inside and around his home. (He and his\nwife Cindy bought the formerly known \u201csalmon-colored\u201d house just south of the\nsouth parking lot of the beach property. It has been transformed from a pit to\na treasure.) Chuck has participated in beach clean-ups during the week and\nafter this year\u2019s 4th<\/sup> of July party. \nHe hopes to help even more so as a board member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has served numerous terms as a board member and has been involved in various projects at the beach, such as dock installation, fireworks, and power-washing the pavilion area.  Nick frequently oversees many of the major repair projects that are done each year at our beach. Nick appreciates the many ways our beach has improved over the years and would like to see this progress continue.  He is married to Louise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condolences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bayside Beach Association officers and Board of\nDirectors extend their condolences to the following families:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • the family of Dave Moody whose dear wife, Cheryl (who in past years had been very active as a Bayside Beach officer) passed away after an extended illness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • and the family of James Middleton of Crestdale whose beloved wife, Kimberly, passed away recently. The Middletons are long time members of Bayside Beach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Beach Closing Date<\/strong>
      Beach closing is scheduled for Saturday, September 28 starting at 9AM.  If by that date, you have not yet served your required work hours, please plan on joining fellow members in preparing the beach for winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. GATES MUST ALWAYS BE LOCKED!<\/strong>
      In order to keep insurance rates reasonable, it is important to KEEP BEACH GATES LOCKED.  Too often the gates are being propped open or are being left unlocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. RAMP REPAIR (PART 2)<\/strong>
      The concrete approach to our new boat ramp has developed 2 cracks. The concrete apron is going to be repaired after closing day.  No trucks, boats, etc will be allowed to use the ramp until one week after the repair!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      KAYAK REGISTRATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      To\nkeep our beach safe and more organized, earlier this year the board approved\nand implemented a kayak registration procedure for those members who keep their\nkayaks at the beach.  Jeff Parko, our beach\u2019s\nmooring chairman, is the contact person for kayak registration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 1. Contact Jeff at 248.363.2235 to procure the kayak registration form. Fill out the form and return it to him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 2. Once registered, if you plan to leave your kayak(s) at the beach, please write your name and phone number somewhere on your kayak(s) for easy identification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 3. If your kayak(s) is(are) not formally registered, please do not leave it(them) at the beach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
