| Hi. We are the property owners
association for a growing community in Northwestern Michigan.
It's amazing. As more and more Michiganders retire, they are choosing Swiss Village East and the surrounding area as a place to make their retirement community. We have people from all over Michigan, and from as far away as Chicago and St. Louis. That's not to say we are all about retirees, because we are not. Most of our residents work and we have many vacation homes as well. Tucked away in quiet woods near one of northern Michigan's most popular resorts -- Shanty Creek -- is one of Michigan's most wonderful secrets – Swiss Village East. Beautiful, wooded lots, typically ½ - ¾ acres in size are readily available on paved roads at incredibly reasonable prices. An active property owners association -Swiss Village East Property Owners Association (SVEPOA) -- adds value in many ways with very modest annual dues. The beautiful Cedar River flows along one of five parks owned by the Association for exclusive use of property owners. Enjoy our riverside walking path. Your kids will love our newly constructed Children's Park with swings, tetherball, basketball court and grill. Across the road, a sand volleyball court was added. This is a place for those in search of a quiet respite from the urban setting. Great golf, skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, boating, swimming await. For the latest information, read our Newsletter. For information about the Association, By-laws, Building Restrictions, go to SVEPOA. To see maps of the area, or individual lots, go to Maps. Thank you to William and Pam Wolz for hosting out January meeting. Those muffins were great! The annual meeting of the Association was held on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 10 AM at the ski patrol room at Schuss Village. Peter Wendling, Phyllis Leach, Lonne Petroskey, Sue Williams and Allen Wolf completed their term of office. Peter elected not to run for re-election. All the other former trustees were re-elected. Doug Meyers was elected as a new trustee. Dead trees were removed from Riverside Park. Lonne Petroskey purchased a new printer for the Association. The new mailboxes were not built yet. The Association has approximately $25,000 in liquid assets. The Association wishes to express its appreciation to owners who have responded favorably to requests to make improvements to the appearance of their property. Meetings will be held on the following dates:

What's New in SVE?
The eagle pictured above was spotted in Swiss Village East. Fox, deer, wild turkeys and an occasional bear can also be spotted. Various woodpeckers including the pileated woodpecker are regular visitors even in winter. Bluebird houses have been placed in the fields and we have regular hatching of new bluebirds during the spring and summer.
But, for now, "Let it snow, let it snow." It may have been a slow start but in the first few weeks of January, we have had more and the skiing has been great. The sledding hill near Cedar River has gotten a lot of use since a double run was carved into the hill by our very own Al Leach. Thank you Al.
