SUPERVISOR’S CORNER
In case you have not had the chance yet, you need to visit our Eagle Point Plaza Facebook page. We have a new company creating our posts and monitoring content and what a change it has been. We are trying to get more proactive in engaging all our residents with new and fresh information about activities and events that are happening in our community. If you have an event you would like to feature, let us know and we might be able to include it in a recent post. We are working to make it interactive with you so that we can use the feedback to better inform you of the happenings in our community. We really want your feedback as it relates to our community.
As we start the construction season don’t forget that we need to see you in here at the Zoning Department before you begin construction. A discussion with Pat is necessary before you begin to avoid costly delays and possible fines. Permits are required by state law to ensure that the work is performed to a minimum standard of design and construction. Substandard structures can fail and harm our friends and families. The cost is not that great when you compare it to the value of your construction. Also, those that are weekend warriors can ask the experts about construction requirements to ensure compliance and safety and in many cases ways to economize your projects. As they say experience is the best teacher and when taught by those experienced is the best lesson.
Also as part of the Spring season is mushroom hunting. One item that has always eluded me is the evasive morel mushroom. Many of my friends have told me about their “secret” moral hunting locations but I have yet to find one of these in the wild. As a matter of fact I have never had one at all, and I am a mushroom lover. My wife on the other hand, hates the “fungi” as she calls them. Someday I am going to get my hands on some of these and just make a good old fashion mushroom omelet. I am told that they have a wonderful nutty taste which would be a great accompaniment to a little red onion and feta.
The wonders of Spring, new plants and flowers and birds and …bugs, okay 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.
Also, it’s that time of year to think about getting into shape for the summer, whatever shape that may take. Consider a membership at the Community Center and Eagle Point Plaza. You can come and enjoy pickleball at any time, yoga, cardio drumming, fitness training, walking or some more intense TOWANDA. Whatever your need we probably have some form of activity to assist you. So stop in and see Roma about a membership. We have family rates and business/group rates also. We would love to see you. When you’re here stop in on Tuesdays to the Plainfield Township Historical Museum. They have great displays of our community throughout history and how our members lived long ago. The members do a great job preserving and showcasing our heritage. They also have genealogical workshops, so stop and ask about the next event.
As always if you ever have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our community please contact me. I am in the office Monday – Friday 7:30 – 4:00 at 989-728-2811 or my cell at 989-984-7073 or by email supervisor@plainfieldtwpmi.com.
