How is the PLA governed?

There are by-laws that govern the Association.  An annual meeting is held each year in September to review issues and elect the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors consist of 5 to 9 Directors (2 from Pumpkin Lane, 2 from Oak Ridge Drive and 1-5 at Large), a Treasurer and a Secretary.  A President is elected from the Board at the first Directors' meeting following the election.  Directors typically meet every other month.  All members may attend Directors' meetings but can only vote at general membership meetings.

Does the PLA own property?

The Prindle Lake Association owns approximately 80 acres of land including much of the land beneath the lake and pays taxes on this land to the the Town of Charlton.
