Page Twelve Wonder Lake HIGHLAND SHORES RE-ELECTS JAMES LAING PRESIDENT by Jane Ducey -- 2781 James Laing was re-elected president of the Highland Shores Property Owners association at a general meeting Friday night, which was attended by a record crowd. Also re-elected was Mrs. Howard Kopp, who served the association as secretary last year. Other nominees put in office were first vice-president, Howard Kopp, second vice-president Don Sullivan, and treasurer, Mrs. Bruno Gliva. Standing committee members elected were William Dicker, chairman of road committee; Clifford Meadie, chairman of beach and pier committee; and Mrs. Bernard Kleopfer, Mrs. James Fung, and Merle Hansen, ways and means committee. The subdivision is in the process of assuming full responsibility for the maintenance of its roads, which had formerly been the responsibility of the developer of Highland Shores. Last winter the association footed the snow plowing bill, and next spring will have to take over the road grading expense. To realize the necessary income to cover these expenses, the Property Owners associa- <•" tion will enforce the subdivision dues assessment, which previously hail been paid by some home owners and not paid by others.
