Board of Director Candidates
Bob Delecki
Janet Edwards
I would like to thank you for
considering me to run for the BOD
at Canada Creek Ranch. A little
history my family has been
members since 1998. We had visited
CCR for a couple of years as guests
before purchasing our first lot, we
built our home in hopes of retiring
at CCR someday, which has come
true, My wife Julie and I have been
married for 38 years. We have three
sons and all 3 are members. Our family loves the outdoors
and the activities that being a CCR member allows us to
enjoy. Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling throughout CCR
I would like to thank the
nominating committee for the
chance to run for the CCR Board of
Directors.
I have been coming to Canada
Creek Ranch since 1958, when my
father joined. I became a member in
1987 by buying a membership lot.
In 2013 I bought a cabin. Since 2015,
I have been a summer resident,
spending six months at CCR.
After teaching high school math for 36 years, I retired. The
last 34 years of my career were with the Broward County
(Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) School District. In addition to being
a math teacher I also served as Department Chair for 25 years.
Some of the duties I performed as department chair included;
interviewing, hiring and letting go math teachers, creating
the master schedule (including room assignments) for 12-18
math teachers, ordering and distributing supplies, and
creating and implementing In-service programs for teachers.
I also assisted in scheduling students for the high stakes
math testing and remediation, once the test results were
back I created a data sheet so we as a department could
prepare for the next year and the next round of testing.
I was president of my Homeowners Association for 14 years.
We had no staff so as president (an unpaid position according
to Florida law), these are some of the tasks that I performed:
property.
I graduated from Hamady in 1974. From there I went on to
Ferris State and Mott Community College. I was employed
at Buick engineering, and retired in 2006. I have also worked
in construction for over 40 years.
Throughout the years I have served on several different kinds
of groups, boards, and committees. My journey started when
I became a youth football coach. It continued as president of
our district youth program for 13 years. This commitment
was fun, challenging, and required the ability to demonstrate
organizational skills, financial responsibility, and people
skills.
In conjunction being president of the football program, I was
elected vice-president of the Mid-Michigan Rural Football
League. (I was a founding member of the MMRFL.) This
league consisted of 14 area high schools, had over 1400
players, and over 3500 parents/coaches. Being a part of this
team was no small task. We had to keep the league organized
and financially responsible. I am proud to say that the
MMRFL is going strong over 25 years later. Additionally I
volunteered my abilities to help build a new press box, and
team locker rooms. Julie and I also volunteered at the
Montrose Blueberry Festival for several years.
• I was in constant communication with the tenants and
owners.
• I created the yearly budget.
• I ran the annual meeting.
• I hired and fired laborers and contractors.
• I worked with the lawyer to update the condo documents.
• I worked with the city when we had code enforcement
violations.
I am a member of three lineage societies, The Daughters of
the American Revolution (DAR), The Mayflower Society and
New England Women and have been on the board of all
three. I have spent most time on the board of the DAR where
I held the following offices; Assistant Treasurer, Historian,
Vice Regent and Regent (President). Some of the duties as
Regent included, scheduling nine meetings per year, signing
contracts with venues, arranging speakers for the meetings,
creating a budget, communicating with the board and 80+
members all while following state and national guidelines.
I believe that many of the experiences that I have had will
be helpful while working with the manager, other board
members and the general membership of Canada Creek
Ranch.
Since I have retired and am spending more time at CCR, I
have participated in the Ladies Auxiliary, the Highway Clean
Up and volunteered for Beach Bash. I was on the CCR Tribute
Walkway Committee, and participated in the 2018 Strategic
Planning Committee. I have worked for the ranch in the
security department, since 2017.
Throughout my years at CCR I have been involved in
different activities and committees. Such as beach bashes
and New Year’s Eve parties. I’m currently on the Property
Owners Committee and have served on the Nominating
Committee. I constructed the flag pole on the beach in honor
of our veterans, and helped build the handicap accessible
dock at the beach. I also volunteered at the Campground to
build the play-scape and the addition on the pavilion. (This
could not have happened without all the volunteers, so a big
THANK YOU). I also guide & scout for elk hunt.
CCR has a lot of talented members. I believe that with the
skills and volunteerism that the membership brings, we can
conserve the membership’s money. It would be my privilege
to serve our membership on the BOD at CCR. It is with the
utmost importance that we continue the responsibility of
clear communication, listening to our membership and
financial responsibility. All of this will ensure that CCR is a
fun, safe, and financially sound. I would be honored to serve
our CCR families with the MISSION STATEMENT THAT
OUR FOREFATHERS HAD SET FORTH FOR CANADA
CREEK RANCH.
