SPRING VALLEY – The Spring Valley Lakes Property Owners Association elected new officers Thursday night.

The new president will be Gayle Christian, who was chosen on the third ballot after two ties with the other candidate, Flo Kinder.

The new Board of Directors will be composed of Mark Currier, Sonja Madden Jones, Win Cary and Gary Pickrell. The newly elected officers will all serve for the next year.

Also at the meeting was a brief presentation from Steve Finch, who is organizing training for volunteers to form a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), a three-and-a-half-day training session to be conducted in Spring Valley.

Finch pointed out that in case of disaster there is a good chance that Spring Valley, which has only one paved road in and out, could be isolated, and residents would need to rely on one another.

Any valley residents interested in getting involved in CERT should call Steve Finch at 263-1090, Extension 263.

Of note was an announcement that there is now a Web site dedicated to Spring Valley, www.springvalleyhome.com.
