COMMUNITY OF WYNN WOOD
JUNE, 2009
Jennie Prettyman, (formerly Jennie Palmer), has served the Wynn Wood community
for several years as Treasurer. Recently she and her husband, Bill, moved into Bill's home in
Smyra. Jennie's home here in Wynn Wood is still for sale. She and Bill are very reluctant
to leave Wynn Wood, but maintaining two homes is more than they want to handle. Asa
result, Jennie has submitted her resignation as Treasurer
The other officers wish them well. We are very grateful for all the time and effort
Jennie has put into her position as Treasurer. She has served the community well and
faithfully. As part of her resignation Jennie has requested that an audit of her work be
completed through June 30, 2009. That audit is presently underway and will be presented at
the July 7th meeting, Meanwhile, Connie Jaconi is serving as Treasurer. At the general
meeting on July 7th we will ask for a vote for anew treasurer, Connie is willing to complete
Jennie's six month term, but the floor will be open to anyone else who wants to be considered
before we vote. Please plan to attend the meeting

Well, the past three years have been dry as a bone, but this year is turning out to be
very different. The frequent rains have filled our ponds, sometimes to overflowing, resulting
in not having to run the pumps....a welcome relief! ‘The fish are flourishing and the ponds
look really good
We have begun a project to keep the cattails under control. We don't want to
eliminate them completely, but they tend to overtake the ponds if left to themselves. Our
landscape contractor, Al Gumpman, has treated pond 3 with a substance that will not
adversely affect the fish or wildlife, but will control the cattails. The officers have decided to
institute pond treatment on a three year cycle. Each pond will be treated for cattails every
three years, this year pond 3 and next year either pond | or pond 2, whichever needs it more
This should help maintain a healthy balance in each pond
Hopefully you noticed how beautiful the individual planting mounds at the ponds and
common areas looked this Spring. This is a result of all the work our Beautification
Committee did last Fall. Thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard on this project. If
you happen to be walking through one of these areas and see trash, please pick it up and help
keep our community beautiful.GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7th, at 7 PM at the Moose Lodge. As mentioned earlier,
we will be voting to elect a new treasurer. We will also begin looking into the possibility of taking part in the Snow
Removal Reimbursement Program offered through the Delaware Department of Transportation. As you are probably
aware, Delaware is having its budget problems, so we will be gathering information between now and the meeting to
see if the program is still available and to what extent, Presently there are specifications as to what qualifies for
reimbursement, We want to be sure we understand all the particulars before signing up, Your input is important...if
we go with this program we need to have input about potential contractors. Please bring your ideas to the meeting to
be considered.
At our last meeting in April we discussed whether to attempt to put the message board up again. Following
some discussion, the vote was overwhelming that we need the message board, that it adds to the community, and that,
it needs to be rebuilt. Although it looks like noth
ing is being done, things are happening behind the scenes. We have
a group of men working on the project, and you will soon see the results of their efforts. The officers want to thank
them in advance for stepping forward and joining together to make this happen.
BY-LAWS & RESTRICTIONS
Copies of the revised by-laws and restrictions were sent to every homeowner back in October in a large manila
envelope, each one costing over $1.00 to mail. The changes were explained and voted on at the November 21, 2008
meeting and approved as written. They are registered at Kent County and are the documents we are functioning under
now. Attached to this newsletter are copies of the pages that were signed and registered with the county. You need
to detach them from the newsletter and staple page 7 of 7 (ARTICLE VI-AMENDMENTS at the top) to the back of
your by-laws. The other, page 9 of 9, should be stapled to the back of your restrictions. We cannot undo any previous
violations that somehow occurred. Please consult your copy of these documents if you have any questions about
issues that arise. A couple of residents have stated that they did not receive their envelope, but we haven't had any
returned from the post office. If you don't have copies or can't find yours, please borrow from a neighbor and have
copies made, The Board supplies copies only to new residents through the Hospitality/Weleome Committee. You
can also go on-line and read them.

Have you visited the revised web site yet? Dan Brown has been working diligently to give us a web site that is
more user friendly and more visually pleasing. We think he has accomplished his goal, and we recommend you check
it out, As stated above, you can now read items on-line, including minutes from the last meeting, even though these
are listed as "pending" until approved at the next meeting, Although the newsletter will also be on-line, we will still
have to print and distribute newsletters since not everyone has a computer. Communication is the key word, and we
are doing our best to make sure every resident knows what is going on in the community that may affect them.
