Newsletter

We are working on the next edition of the Timber Lakes Newsletter and need your help. In addition to informative articles from the board members, we are trying to collect “slice-of-life” and personal input from our community – making the newsletter more personable, entertaining and even more informative.  Communication is key!

Please send your stories about living in Timber Lakes, fundraiser info, charitable interests, school-related info, social group info, amazing travel experiences, etc.  Also, PICTURES are greatly needed!

Please e-mail your stories and high-res digital pictures (let us know if you only have a hard copy of your picture and we can scan it) to Theresa.gubler@gmail.com.  We cannot promise that all info and pictures will be included (pending ad sales and board approval of content), but it most likely will!

Again, our goal with expanding the newsletter content is to try to get more people involved and create an even greater sense of community here in Timber Lakes.

Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested – we need your help spreading the word!  We are also always looking for advertisers – please let us know if there is someone you think we should contact.

Thank you,

Theresa Gubler
Timber Lakes Board of Directors

Subscribing to our blog

Over the past year, we have had intermittent trouble with Comcast blocking our owner subscriber list for owners using comcast.net (or Roadrunner) addresses. Currently, thanks to one of our owners, Dave Gangon, Comcast has lifted the block, but it has been lifted in the past, only to return within a few months. Recently, we contacted all of our owners that subscribed with a comcast.net or roadrunner address and asked them if they were willing to use an alternate address. About half of them provided us with an alternate. If you want to subscribe with a Comcast or roadrunner address, you may do so, but when Comcast blocks our email to you, you will need to work with them to remove the block. They will not respond to us. The reason they keep blocking us is two-fold. (1) In the past, another customer of the same company that hosts our website was a spammer and Comcast does not differentiate between clients of our hosting service. (2) One (or more) of our previous owners that subscribed to our email list got tired of receiving email from us. Rather than unsubscribe, he simply reported us to Comcast as spammers. They blocked our email to their customers three times last year, with the most recent block lasting several months before Dave Gangon got it removed this week.

If you are subscribed to our list with a Comcast or Roadrunner address and don’t need this hassle, you can change to an alternate email. Simply reply to this email, enter your alternate email address as the body of your message, and I will replace your Comcast address with your new one. I will confirm the change to you by email.

If you no longer wish to receive email from Timber Lakes, you can either click on the link at the bottom of this message and follow the instructions to unsubscribe, or simply reply to this email with the word “Unsubscribe” as your message and I will remove you from the database.

Thanks, and please attend the January meeting in Murray, Utah if you are able.

Timber Lakes Property Owners Association

Welcome to the Timber Lakes Property Owners Association website. If you are a property owner, we encourage you to please sign up for our Board Blog. This is a simple, easy way to receive important information from your Board of Directors. All you need to do is register your email address with us and then reply to a followup registration email. We will not share your email address with anyone and we will only email you when we have something we think is important for all owners to know. You can easily unsubscribe from this service if you get tired of hearing from us. Visit our Board Blog page on this website to see what we have emailed in the past to your fellow owners. IMPORTANT NOTE: Comcast (Xfinity) periodically blocks our email alerts sent to comcast.net addresses as spam. If you have an alternate email address, use it. If not, sign up with your comcast address and our webmaster will try to contact you when our email to you is blocked. Thank you.
