MAY 2025
Greetings to The Shores and Preserve Residents,
On behalf of the Board, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued support as our new Board transitions and works to ensure that our community continues to thrive.
We deeply appreciate the dedication of all our volunteers on the Board and Committees, who work closely with Anchor Associates to serve our community.
Board Update
Following the March 20, 2025 election, three new members were elected by you, the homeowners:
• Lee Kurasowicz, Vice President – leek@shoreshoa.com • Kelly Flynn, Secretary – kellyf@shoreshoa.com • Wade Merrick, Director – wadem@shoreshoa.com
Returning members include:
• Linda Myron, Treasurer – lindam@shoreshoa.com • Colleen Rinaldi, President – colleenr@shoreshoa.com
We’re also pleased to welcome two new Board-appointed Directors:
• William “Bill” Allen, Director – billa@shoreshoa.com • Brian Young, Director – briany@shoreshoa.com
