Outings & Events
Outing to The Best Western-Dinner and a Comedy Show
Originally scheduled for February 12th, but rescheduled to February 19th due to the snowstorm, a group of Rivers Edge folks enjoyed a great buffet dinner, followed by a hilarious comedy show at the Best Western Inn at Hunts Landing hotel. This event, sponsored by the Pike County Chamber of Commerce, featured two great comedians – Tom Daddario and Vic Dibitetto, the latter having considerable fame in Vegas, on TV and on cruise ships. This was a great entertainment venue right here in our backyard, and a great time was had by all.
Outing to Maple River Restaurant
On January 26th, and again on February 23rd, Rivers Edge residents went to dinner at the Maple River Restaurant in Port Jervis. This unique eating establishment is situated ½ in NY and ½ in NJ, with the state line dissecting the dining room, so that even though we were at one table some of us were in NJ and some in NY.
Regardless of where we sat, we had a wonderful time sharing together as friends and neighbors.
Consider joining us next time. We have a ball! Look for emails.
Outing – Yanni’s Front Street CafĂ©
On Wednesday, January 11th, a group of Rivers Edge residents got together for dinner at Yanni’s Front Street Caré. Nestled in a small shopping corner of Port Jervis’ Front Street area, this small but friendly café offers up great food at very reasonable prices. With lots of laughing and bantering with Yanni, along with friends and neighbors enjoying the company and food, it was a delightful evening.

Community Movies—with Pizza
For the months of January and February, our community movie nights were every Tuesday, rather than the normal every other Tuesday schedule. By popular demand, this every-Tuesday schedule was continued through March but will return to the regular schedule in April. First Tuesday of each month is pizza night, but you don’t have to watch the movie to join us for pizza. Come join us and have some fun! And consider watching the movie too – they’re all good!
Community Residents’ Meeting
A community residents’ meeting was held on January 25th, with a primary purpose of discussing and ratifying several open topics in the Rivers Edge Community Rules and Regulations.
HOA Transition: The meeting opened with a report from Alice Nash (on Mark’s behalf) of HOA financial information received from the developer. While not yet 100% complete, most of the financial information requested by the Transition Committee has now been received (the exception being monthly detail of 2016 expenses). We are still awaiting other information requested of the developer.
Gutter Cleaning & Guards: Jim Soojian gave a report on the cleaning of all community gutters, and noted that many homes on Macintosh have an issue with deteriorated gutter guards. A sheet was created to obtain permission from Macintosh residents to remove the deteriorated gutter guards and proceed with cleaning those gutters as soon as possible. One resident chose to keep existing self-installed guards and forego cleaning. Remaining gutters on Macintosh will be cleaned as soon as possible.
Jim also showed samples of gutter guards under consideration by the HOA for installation on all homes. Due to the high cost of this project, further action has been temporarily suspended until a more detailed cost justification analysis can be completed.
Rules & Regulations: There were three community rules topics open for discussion: Automobiles & Parking; Guests at Community Functions; and Private Use of Clubhouse Facilities. Much discussion ensued on each of these topics, resulting in adoption of new Community Rules & Regulations in these areas, with the following changes noted:
- Clarification of parking and community speed limit rules.
- Residents may have multiple guests at community functions, but homeowners always have first priority.
- $100 non-refundable fee for residents to reserve Clubhouse for private functions. You must sign Use Agreement to reserve the Clubhouse for private use. Residents always have access to the Clubhouse facilities.
Note that minutes of the 1/25/17 meeting have been distributed to all residents via email, along with the final approved Community Rules & Regulations. Also distributed was a new Community Welcome Packet to be given to new owners, and the new Use Agreement for Clubhouse Rental by residents.
