Effective June 1, 2023, Governors Village has a new management company, Community Focus of NC. We expect much improved service with a fulltime property manager devoted solely to Governors Village. Example: the property manager will have an office in the community, with “office hours” for guaranteed member access.

To make this change possible, POA dues will increase by 5% effective July 1, 2023 (still modest, going from $115.42/month to $121.19/month). Dues are payable semi-annually as usual, with the next payment of $727.12 due July 1, 2023. Full details regarding payments and contact information will be arriving later this week from Community Focus of NC.

Background: If you refer to minutes of the POA board meetings over the past several months (GovernorsVillage.org), you can see longstanding efforts to improve our community. A change to a fulltime manager who is dedicated to serving Governors Village was determined to be our best opportunity for long-term satisfaction. The cost is slightly higher than with the previous provider, but we believe the results will be easy to appreciate.

The “transition period” will require patience on everyone’s part, but we look forward to seeing immediate improvements. The POA Board of Directors has committed only to a 1-year trial period, and your feedback will help determine ongoing decisions.

You will see a letter from Community Focus of NC in the next few days providing an introduction and more information.

Thanks for making Governors Village a great place to live,
POA Board of Directors

Michael Barefoot, VP, Village seat
Ruth Benton, Treasurer, Park seat
Dan Chegash, Secretary, at-large seat

MAY 20, 2023

The Governors Village Firemen’s Pancake Breakfast was held on Saturday, May 20, 2023.

Pancakes and sausages were freshly made by our own five-star chefs. A variety of fruit was also available as was coffee, tea, and water.

As everyone lined up for their breakfasts, the firemen and a fire lady served the food. Social committee volunteers replaced empty trays and dishes with full ones. There was plenty for all including seconds and third servings.

Firemen were happy to explain the equipment and the trucks to interested children and parents.

Some of the event sponsors had tents where they could discuss their products or services with anyone visiting their displays.

The pool was open and ready. As usual, the children boldly frolicked in the water while some of the adults were more cautious.

We need to thank the participating merchants who contributed to this fundraiser and the Fire Department volunteers for serving breakfast and helping in other ways. This is over and above protecting our lives and property. They are so important to our community.

We can never say enough about our community volunteers. Not only the Social Committee but others who stepped up and worked to make this a successful event. If you had a good time, please consider offering your help not only next year but also at other events planned for later this year. Many hands make light work.

Finally, remember our semi-annual blood drives. While it is too late for the May collection, there is another in September, the 4^th Tuesday of the month.
