The POA staff has been busy preparing for the upcoming season filled with Annual Meetings, Elections, future Membership Meetings, and our forthcoming summer season.
Last Saturday, we held our first virtual Member's Budget Meeting, and I want to thank all who attended, and helped pass our 2021 Budget. We look forward to increasing our communications with our members through emails, newsletters, and always know that our office doors are open to your input, comments and suggestions.
I'm delighted to work with a dedicated staff and welcome our new team members and appreciate those who have worked diligently to support the Board and the Membership by developing this new POA. The staff started without an actual office and limited experience in the Community Association Management, but have worked together to build a team that has provided the support for the Board and members. We have a great team who is pleased to work hard for the community.
Look for our activities coming this summer! Join us for the first Concert on the Green. A Community Picnic is in the planning stages for early spring and summer. We are delighted about holding community activities and spending more time getting to know the membership.
Thank you.
Cynthia Randolph
General Manager

Hello GSVPOA Members!
I wanted to take a few moments to inform everyone on what has been going on at the Woodhaven Pro Shop. Since coming on board in late January, I have been going through EZLinks and its supporting programs for the upcoming golf season and getting together some new products for spring delivery. If there are products that you are interested in that have not been in stock before, please let me know. My email is Matt.felber@gladespringspoa.com or you can reach me at the Pro Shop at (304) 763-3332.
My hope is that the weather cooperates and can allow all of us to get out and enjoy our two wonderful golf courses at Stonehaven and Woodhaven. Our course superintendent, Nathan Armstrong, and I have been communicating daily to keep the membership informed of weather-related course closures, as well as the work that he and his crew are performing during this winter weather to get ready for the 2021 golf season. We look forward to the membership getting back on the course when the conditions allow it, and the cart paths are safe for travel.
I am looking forward to meeting the membership and saying "Hello" to those of you that I already know. I will also be adding some activities at the Woodhaven area starting in the spring. In addition to working with the GSVPOA members to set up group tee times I have also been thinking of other ideas to boost golf participation. I will also be adding some instructional clinics and individual lessons throughout the summer. Beginner golfers do not be afraid to come out and try golf!
The fitness center at the Woodhaven clubhouse has been active since I have come onboard. We are looking into ideas to possibly add or update some equipment as well. With Covid-19 still an issue we have supplied cleaning and disinfecting solutions in the fitness area. Let's all do our part to clean the equipment after its use.

Course Update from
Nathan Armstrong, Golf Superintendent

With the weather warming, the trees budding and the Daffodils starting to sprout, spring is right around the corner. The golf maintenance crew is excited with the break in the weather and are looking forward to opening the golf courses.
Drainage plans are in place for Stonehaven this coming summer to help dry up some of those problematic wet areas that have plagued that golf course for years. Solving some of our wet areas is an ongoing project that will take time. We ask that you do your best to avoid these areas with your golf carts. We would also like to address a few wet spots on Woodhaven and will be working on them throughout the golf season.
Planned Course Maintenance
Stonehaven greens aerification will be May 3-6 and August 23-26. The Woodhaven course will be on May 11-14 and August 31-September 3. There will also be tee and fairway aerification done during the season depending on weather and conditions. These will be primarily done on our closed days to minimize disruption of play.
As we head into the golf season, the courses will be cart path only through the month of March in an effort to allow the turf to dry out. I will be working closely with our Director of Golf, Matt Felber, to make sure that we are keeping the Pro Shop and starters informed as to the course conditions on a daily basis.
I want to thank you in advance for the care and respect that each of you will show our courses as we move into spring. I look forward to seeing each of you out there on the courses.

Active Southern West Virginia is a non-profit providing an ecosystem of physical activity for the residents of southern West Virginia by offering programs led by trained volunteers from within the communities they serve. Active SWV seeks for everyone to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. Populations are targeted who face the greatest economic and social barriers. Improving health outcomes through policy and behavioral change will strengthen community and economic development.
Community Captains is an innovative program developed by Active SWV. Community Captains and other Active SWV volunteers are themselves residents seeking healthier lifestyles. These volunteers are provided training with certifications and comprehensive program manuals to facilitate quality programming within communities, workplaces, local governments, and schools. This unique and evidenced based peer-to-peer model provides interventions to help individuals be in charge of their own health to prevent and manage chronic diseases in coal-impacted communities. Volunteers invite their friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to join a routine of being physically active. This social support system is delivered in person and virtually.
Activities range from walks, hikes, tai chi, yoga, stand up paddle boarding, rock climbing, water aerobics, and more. Activities depend on the interests of each Community Captain, along with the resources available in their local area. You can find free Community Captain led programs on the Active SWV Events Calendar. https://activeswv.org/calendar/.
Active SWV is now recruiting individuals to volunteer with the Community Captain program. This is a great way to stay accountable to your physical activity goals through volunteering. Give back to your community in fun and healthy ways. Community Captains choose they type of activity they want to lead and when the schedule works for them. Having a routine of physical activity provides accountability and follow through to reaching your goals.

The old starter building on Stonehaven is being transformed into our mini library. More details will follow.
