Letter from the 2008 NECA President - Joe Carta

Neeld Estate Citizens Association

Dear NECA Members and Neeld Estate Homeowners,

       My name is Joe Carta and I thank you for your vote of confidence by re-electing me
       as the President of NECA. I hope that 2007 was a great year for each of you and I hope
       to make 2008 an even better one. I will continue to work hard to ensure that my oversight
       will have a positive impact on our wonderful bayside community. I in turn would ask that
       each of you again consider becoming a member of your Neeld Estate’s Citizen Association.
       If you are presently a NECA member, please ensure that you renew your membership. As
       each of you already know, our community is truly a special place for each of us. It is filled
       with many fond and ever lasting memories.

       Our 2007 NECA officers truly deserve a big thank you.
       They are:
       Virginia McGovern - 1^st Vice President,
       Jay Geest – 2^nd Vice President,
       Mary Fragale – 3^rd Vice President,
       Sandy Geest - Secretary
       Janet Gean - Treasurer.
       Many of these board members have served on the board year after year. I thank each of
       them for their many years of service to both NECA and the community.

       Your 2008 NECA officers are:
       Virginia McGovern - 1^st Vice President,
       Jay Geest - 2^nd Vice President,
       Betsy Detwiler - 3^rd Vice President,
       Sandy Geest - Secretary
       Janet Gean - Treasurer.

Unfortunately, I am unable to include the NECA 2008 Calendar of Events at this time. We are
in need of both chairpersons and sponsors for the various events. Once we have this we will
post the events for 2008 on both the Neeld Estate web page (www.neeldestate.com) and the
bulletin board at the corner of Ridge Road and Bay Parkway . The NECA Activity sign-up sheet
and the NECA Membership form are enclosed. I ask that you please complete the forms and
return them no later then December 31, 2007 . I can not emphasize enough the importance of
being a NECA member. Your membership dues are utilized in support of many activities in this
wonderful community (the best on the Bay). Dues money pays for the NECA web site,
mosquito control, paper, stamps, advertising of events, donations, mowing at Hilltop House
as-well-as other behind the scenes costs that are incurred.

       I would also ask that each of you attend our monthly meetings. Mark your calendars for the first
       Saturday of each month at 10:00 am at Hilltop House. As this is your community, monthly
       meetings are a great forum to input concerns, suggestions and questions that you may have.
       Please feel free at any time to contact any of the new NECA Officers with your thoughts or
       concerns.

       Most importantly, I would ask you to volunteer your help to chair events or help out with an event
   in 2008. I and your elected NECA officers can not do it alone. I would really like to see an event
       take place each and every month of 2008. I have included on the activity sign-up sheet
       recommendations of events and a possible date for each. We just need you as members of
       this wonderful community to sign up as chairpersons and assistants. Thank you in advance for
       your time and support. Let’s make 2008 an eventful year for all and help create many fond
       memories.

       Please take a few moments now to complete and return your NECA membership and the
       Neeld Estate Activity Sign-Up Sheet/Form. I look forward to seeing each of you at a meeting
       and/or upcoming NECA events. Happy Holidays to you and yours and may 2008 be all that
        you wish it to be.

Sincerely,

Joe Carta

President, NECA
