SPECIAL MEETING
Next Week
The meeting will be held Wednesday, Aug 13
@ 7pm at The Pineapple Chalet Meeting Room
Recently, Sugarhill was fortunate to welcome a new board member who is enthusiastic about establishing an emergency preparedness program. The goal is to unite our community with a well-organized plan to reduce confusion during true emergencies, such as hurricanes. He introduced this idea at our annual meeting in February, where it received a very positive response. Since then, he has developed the plan and we distributed information packets to the community.

We are excited to invite you to a SPECIAL MEETING dedicated to understanding and implementing "The Emergency Preparedness Plan." We hope you can join us in supporting this important initiative.
All that is remaining is the very end of the drainage ditch between Lots 75 & 76 and it should be done soon.

This process should not be confused with the every-three-year cleaning of the bubblers and under-the-road pipes cleaning that uses a vacuum truck. That will be done next year.

Later this year we will likely be contracting a company that specializes in aquatic weed control to treat the tennis court lakes for weed control, a situation that could eventually block the proper drainage of the lakes.

We're getting bugged again. To file a request for mosquito control go to
Martin County Mosquito Control.
This seems to be the best way to get things moving. The more requests the better.

Update: MC sprayed the community Tuesday 7-15. Mosquito population as of 7-17 has dramatically reduced. We will leave this notice with the link here for a while should the little suckers come back.

New Owners Information

A Very Big Welcome ~ From your Sugarhill neighbors

Call for candidates to fill board vacancies  

 
  This number is below the minimum number of board members outlined in our bylaws. We prefer 5 members on the board if possible but it is not required, three is possible. Also the bylaws require an uneven number on the board for vote tie breaking.

UPDATE 11-6: Our September 10th posting calling for candidates to fill the current board vacancies has resulted in three highly qualified owners coming forward. All three individuals are now confirmed as nominees. A third person has requested and should be confirmed as a nominee very soon.

If you would like to serve on the Sugarhill Board and you are a more-than-1-year owner, you can contact a board member or visit the website 'Voting' page (located in the Website MENU) or go to the nomination form. Nominations need to be presented before January 1 for 1) qualification review and 2) to be included in the electronic ballots that must be emailed 45 days before the February 26, 2026 7pm Annual Members Meeting.

Since more than the needed 3 candidates have submitted for nomination an election will commence utilizing our standard electronic voting service, electionbuddy.com, between January 1 and January 12 ending at the Annual Members Meeting on February 26, 2026 where the results will be announced. You will get your electronic ballot emailed before January 12, 2026


Original posted here 9/10/25 Updates 10-22, 11-6

Call for candidates to fill board vacancies has ended.   We have 2 new board members. There were no challangers during the Final Call period.

Don't want to read this? Have your computer read it:  
  After no one challenged, the two board member potentials in the month of December they have now become board members.

If you would like to serve on the Sugarhill Board and you are a more than 1 year owner, please contact a board member or visit the website 'Voting' page (located in the Website MENU) or goto the nomination form. Nominations need to be presented well before the December 31 deadline for the nominating committee review and to be included in the electronic and printed ballots that must be mailed 45 days before the February 27, 2025 @ 7pm Annual Members Meeting.

If only two owners request nomination and the nominating committee allows the nominations as qualifying and the board approves the candidates then the positions will be filled without an election. Our bylaws recognize that an election is only needed when more than 1 candidate is nominated for 1 vacancy. In this case that would be 1 or more above 2 vacancies.

A "Final Call" legal notification for candidates will be posted, mailed, and emailed on December 1 if only 2 owners have come forward. Update 12/2/2024 The Final Call Letter is now out with 2 candidates, here's the pdf of the Final Call Letter.

If only 1 owner or no owners want the positions we will continue with our 3 member board. If more than 2 want to be candidates an election will commence January 1 ending at the Annual Members Meeting on February 27, 2025 where the results will be announced.

Who Want's to Catch Flies?

So this is a very old expression. Dates back to the 1500s. It's literal meaning refers to how flies will get stuck in honey and stay away from you (a good thing).

The human relationship meaning refers to how you treat people. Treat them with sweetness (kindness, compassion, consideration) and you don't have as many problems (flies bothering you). Treat them nasty (vinegar) and your problems will never go away.

We believe in this motto and try to live by it.
