The Dory Lakes Property Owners Association (POA) met for their Annual Meeting on Sunday, August 20, at Columbine Park in the Dory Lakes subdivision starting at 11:30 a.m.

New business included voting on the budget and electing three board members (two of the board members remain on the board for another year). Guests brought side dishes and desserts to accompany the grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.

The POA had recently taken all the abandoned boats that were left on the lake and auctioned them to raise money. They raised about $2,000 and decided to donate $1,000 to Timberline Fire Protection District.

“We are keeping half to do improvements around the lake,” said Gary Sloneker, president of Dory Lakes POA.

He went on to say that last fall they had a garage sale at the park where they raised money to contribute to the community as well.

Resident Jon Linke has lived in the subdivision for 12 years. He moved from Miami because he wanted a change, and the Rocky Mountains did not fail to deliver. He loves living in the area and witnessing the wildlife.

Fire Chief Paul Ondr accepted the $1,000 check on behalf of Timberline and thanked the association for their donation.
