Urgent — Treasurer Needed for Craneridge!

Dear Craneridge Community Members,

We’re heading into a crucial time as we plan our next three-year budget for 2026-2028, and we really need someone from our community to step up as Treasurer. This role is VERY important for keeping our finances on track, and we can’t do it without a volunteer from the community.

Why is this role so important?

Our Treasurer plays a vital role in reviewing our monetary requirements, preparing annual budgets, and ensuring long-term financial planning. Without a Treasurer, our ability to maintain and improve our community infrastructure and services is at risk.

How to Get Involved:

If you or someone you know has the knowledge and skills to assist us, please reach out as soon as possible. We are looking for a dedicated individual who is passionate about our community and willing to contribute their expertise to ensure our financial stability.

Contact Us:

For more information or to express your interest, please contact Shannon at scmenter@yahoo.com or 716-432-4778.

In addition, any BOD member will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the role.

Community Announcement: In Memory of David Sears

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of our dear community member, David Sears, on July 31, 2024. David was a beloved husband and best friend to Deborah Richter, and together they started the Craneridge Little Library at the Mail Center, enriching our community in a meaningful way.

His spirit of adventure and community involvement touched many lives here in Craneridge.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor David’s memory. The family encourages memorials to be made to SASi or Rails to Trails in his honor.

Please join us in sending heartfelt condolences to Deborah and the entire Sears family during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,
Your Craneridge Neighbors

Neighborhood Engagement Committee (NEC) – Thanks to BOD and Community

Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you to everyone who attended our Craneridge summer music event on Sunday, July 28. We loved seeing our neighbors gathered in the shelter, on the grass, in the pool and on the swings. Neighbors all around coming together for an evening of music!

Thanks also to the Craneridge Board of Directors for funding and supporting this event. Without your countless volunteer hours, none of this could happen.

The Party Squad loved playing for our community. They appreciated your enthusiasm and were seriously blown away by your generous tips!

We are excited that the new Neighborhood Engagement Committee has officially launched. We look forward to hearing your ideas and stand by to support and guide you as you imagine, plan, and host your own events. Please contact Jen Parsons with questions or ideas for events: jenparglen@gmail.com

Your Neighborhood Engagement Committee.
Jennifer Parsons, Butch Lesniak, and Peggy Stearns
