TCC hurricane update and meeting announcement,
Hello all, fortunately the forecast was off by 250 miles and the hurricane completely missed us. The storm surge did wash out some of the dunes but didn't damage the sand fence.  Patrick used the tractor to make berms across the openings in the dunes, so very little of the surge made it into camp.  All good news for us.

The working agenda will become the final agenda unless we need to make major changes to it.  The meeting will be recorded. 
Proxy forms are available here for printing. https://tcclub.biz/proxy.pdf
Ron and Monty will go over the need for a dues increase at the meeting.  Each of our 300 lots taxable value was increased by $12K for this year's tax due in January.  Taxes will again be increased next year and likely the year after that.   These expenses are ongoing expenses vs one-time expenses.   They will not go down and cannot be paid in advance. 
The fence around the surge tank is done as is the sand fence on the beach.  Next in line to be done is the fence on the dumpsters, the entire SW side fence and portions of the SE and N fences which will be done in 50' portions where it's laying down currently. Pickets will be reused as feasible.  The fence poles will be replaced with 4 by 6 posts and the framing will be done with the same style as the front fences.  Camp has seen 58 inches of rain so far this year vs 18" last year, so it's been very wet.   
We will likely need an assessment for the fence work to continuing to build our reserves.
We are still trying to put in an offer of $300k for the 5 acres we need for septic.  That was set to happen this spring.   Whether we can do that depends upon membership giving us the funding we need to replace funding now going to fences and tax increases. 
Monty Weeks, Club President

TCC hurricane update noon Monday 9-9-24


Hello all. We are closely watching developments with Francine. The current 24-hour forecast is calling for 1-3 feet of storm surge and 6-8" of rain with tropical force winds beginning Tuesday. How long the power stays on is anyone's guess. If the south side floods as predicted it will bring water in to nearly the pool. If that happens, we will need to shut down septic to the south side to save the 3 pumps from burning out. Should we need to turn off the pumps, water to the south side will also be turned off to keep the lines clear from each camper. The big unknown is what the situation will be with power. If we lose power to the whole campground, water will be shut off until power is restored.

Unless you have a pressing reason to be in camp, please stay home until the storm passes. More updates will follow this one as the situation unfolds.

TCC Members,
  Hope all have recovered from the hurricane and the weeks of rain! For those of you who have not been down to check out your trailers / lots since the storm, I would like to ask that you do so asap. High winds blew member's belongings around, damaged decks and metal roofs. The Gulf waters on the South side destroyed, damaged and moved some trailers. Grass is high, lawn service is backed up so bring your mower. Those of you who have already come down and placed storm debris in the front of your lots need to contact someone to pick it up or place it in the large dumpster, as we do not provide that type of service. Members are responsible for their lots. Remember to bring some "Cutter Backyard Bug Spray" for the mosquitoes ( it works well! ) and a can of off.... If you have any questions please let me know.
Regards,
Elizabeth Simpson
