RE: Project Description: Rural Addition; Pave Unpaved Holly Way
Phase 3 and Deux Rue
Resident, as you are aware, we are currently working on Phase 3 of road construction on Holly Way and Deux Rue. During construction there will be road closures. When possible, those roadways will reopen at the conclusion of each workday.
Please plan to use an alternate route around construction sites to your destination. If travel is necessary beyond a closure ahead
DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE GAINED THE ATTENTION OF SITE PERSONNEL AND CAN BE SAFELY ESCORTED THROUGH THE WORK AREA.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but it is necessary to protect you as well as our crew from hazards within the work area during construction.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Placid Bay Civic Association’s monthly Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 2nd at 6:30 p.m. at the Placid Bay Event Venue (67 Mattox Avenue). Your newly elected Board of Directors will be making plans for this fiscal year and addressing outstanding issues. Come join us to learn what is happening and to get involved in supporting your community!
Thank you to all who attended the PBCA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING. A special thanks to Board members who are NOT returning to the Board this Fiscal Year:
–Bob McCarthy, who served as PBCA President this past year, has devoted so much time volunteering in all buildings and grounds needs, facilitating PBCA-sponsored activities and obtaining support from local vendors—including: Food Lion, ACE Hardware and his “Ice Cream Hut”. Thank you Bob, for all you’ve done this past year!
–Sam Lewis, who served as Vice President this year has been working with Virginia Tech’s Cooperative Extension to learn the safest possible way to decrease the lily pad growth on PB Lakes. He also looked into fish restocking for our Lakes. And, he donated his commercial popcorn maker to the PBCA for Popcorn and Movie Night! Thanks Sam!
–Mario Haggerty, who served as Secretary and as the Chair of the Events Committee, has done a tremendous job of getting Placid Bay residents together to celebrate including: Family Fun Day; Kayaking on the Creek; Chili Cook-off; Halloween “Boo-Bash”; Breakfast with Santa; Soup-A-Bowl Party; and Popcorn and Movie Night. Each event took a great deal of planning and coordinating. Thank you so much, Mario!
–Dottie McCarthy, Secretary, who took over Secretarial duties in January of this year, has done a tremendous job taking notes, and getting meeting Agendas and Minutes recorded. Thank you Dottie, for keeping the Board organized!
–Dave Roberts, who has served the Board with responsibility for chairing the Building and Grounds Committee and who plans to continue in that capacity as the head of the committee outside of the Board. Thanks Dave!

THE MEMBERSHIP MEETING
The Board and members present shared a wealth of information. Minutes of the meeting are posted here on the PBCA website. For those of you who did not attend, please consider—at the very least—attending monthly Board of Directors’ meetings which are held the first Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the Event Venue (67 Mattox Avenue). This Fiscal Year the Association and Membership may be facing some significant challenges for the upkeep of Placid Bay’s Lakes and Dams. Decisions will have to be made which could impact the “pocketbook” of every resident of Placid Bay; we have much to do. The Board cannot function without membership input and volunteer support.
A reminder to all of our wonderful volunteers: Placid Bay Clean Up Day is this Saturday. We may have some rain. If we do, we will go ahead with the power washing–as we’ll all be getting wet from that anyway–and we will do other things that can be done with a little rain. For jobs which cannot be done in the rain, the PBCA will set another time and date to get them done. See you Saturday!
