Friends of Laurel Wood Organization Update
There are several developments within the Friends of Laurel Wood organization that were noted at the last meeting:
• All of our bills have been paid in full, including the lawyer.
• Our bank balance as of the October meeting was $306.81.
• The amount of mail that we received has reduced to the point that the post office box rental cost is not justified. For that reason we are closing the box. For the new contact address please email friends.laurelwood@gmail.com.
• We reviewed the proposed By-Laws at the meeting. A revised draft will be presented at the December meeting for our consideration and approval.

Over 55 Community Update
The key message is that the status of the Over 55 Community project remains unchanged. The last proposal by the developer has been turned down by the Township Supervisors, and the developer has not submitted a new plan. At this time, we have no indication if the developer will continue to pursue a senior community project or not.
I questioned the supervisors at the Township Supervisors meeting on 12/1/2014 and they restated that the sewage issue is the most important thing for the developer to resolve. The township has been clear that they will not accept the ground drip system the developer wishes to use and will only accept one that fully treats the sewage and has a steam type output, as desired by the Lehigh County Authority. This is good news since these types of systems are expensive to build and operate. As long as the developer believes that the system’s cost prohibitive to their profits, then they will not bring a new plan to the township.
