UPDATE Thursday Evening!

The garbage is very heavy on all routes today. Due to the limited amount of drivers and helpers that we currently have, we will not be able to finish all of the Thursday routes. These will be completed tomorrow morning prior to starting the Friday routes.

We ask that residents please not ask the drivers or helpers to wait so you can reload your cart(s). This is slowing down our ability to be able to provide service to all customers. The drivers and helpers have been instructed to not allow this to happen.

Many of our team members are working even though their house was damaged and they still do no have electricity. Please show some compassion to them! We can promise you that they are trying their very best under some very difficult conditions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Here is a list of areas that we will finish tomorrow morning before starting on Friday routes.

ATTENTION CES CUSTOMERS

We resumed residential Garbage Service on Wednesday September 1st. However, our services are limited in scope. We currently only have half of our staff that is able to work due to others that evacuated for Hurricane Ida. We also have some Team Members that experienced damage to their homes and are unable to return to work at this time. We are very grateful for all of our Team Members that are able to come to work so that we could resume services! All of the areas that we service experienced some major damage. Many residents are still without electricity and could be for a couple of weeks. Our trucks will not be able to enter any streets that have downed trees or low lying power lines.

SAFETY

The Safety of our Drivers and Helpers is one of our Top Priorities. Drivers will not be traveling any streets on their routes that have downed trees, downed power lines, or low hanging power lines. We will not be able to service those streets or areas until it is safe to do so.

Our Office remains closed! However we do hope to have Customer Service up and running early next week. We are only able to check emails on a limited basis.

THANK YOU!!

We are very grateful that we are able to resume some services. We thank our TEAM Members that are able to make it to work so that we can resume this important service. Our TEAM members are essential and our services are essential. We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and support! All of the communities that we serve will come back better and stronger! We are in this together!!!

Hello everyone. Trusting everyone is safe and sound.

For those homeowners whose units are duplexes (along the bayou side), we are aware that the foyers of these units took on water. Please be aware that whenever you begin the process of removing sheetrock and insulation, debris should be placed into heavy-weight trash bags and be placed by the street for pickup. DO NOT put unbagged pieces of sheetrock or other debris out by the road.

We are aware of fallen trees and debris and will address these as quickly as possible. If you have a maintenance issue, please use the website (www.Chamalecove.org) to report your issue.

We look forward to resuming life in the cove again soon and seeing our neighbors once again enjoying the beauty of our community.

Cove.ORG domain name is for sale. Inquire now. Cove.ORG is available for purchase. Get in touch to discuss the possibilities!

If you remove brush or debris from around your unit, please be sure to bag leaves and green debris.

There is tree work being done on Albert this morning. There may be extra traffic through our neighborhood as a detour.

CCCA Yard Sale - Saturday, April 17th, 8am - 1pm. Many owners in the community are participating. Please let us know if you plan to join in. There will be signage on West Hall and throughout Chamale. Advertising on Social Media (FB Marketplace and personal pages) and Craigslist.

Had so much fun parading the streets of Chamale Cove with this group of crazy people. Thanks to everyone who popped out to catch some throws and wave us on...you made it special. It was a fun time and we hope to do it again next year. (Special shout out to Mark and Vicki Myers...we loved using your house as a photo op...thanks for decorating!!)

We are expecting freezing temps over the next few days. To prevent broken pipes, please remember to drip water from your faucets, including the one(s) outdoors. Great days to stay inside and snuggle with the one you love!

Homeowners...when out with your children and/or pets, please be aware of broken glass on the street on the West side. The glass trails all the way down the street to the peninsula.

We have a Little Free Book Library...and your are welcome to take and enjoy. You are welcome to drop off a couple of your used books to share. Please do not leave BOXES of donated books on the bench or on the ground. We are not able to keep them.

In an effort to keep our Board of Directors and Homeowners Meetings visible to our Association members only, our live stream meetings will be held on our PRIVATE GROUP page, Chamale Cove Condominium Group. Only current homeowners will be allowed into this group. If you are not currently a part of this group, please go to the page and request to be added.

Independence Celebration

The get together on the bayou this Saturday in conjunction with the Heritage Park fireworks display is, regrettably, formally cancelled. The event was announced in the most recent news letter and on the Cove's website, but due to some unexpected scheduling conflicts none of the principal folks organizing the event will be able to attend. Even though it is said to be "cancelled" that doesn't mean any and all who wish to share a good time on the green space of the bayou shouldn't still do so. The common areas of Chamale are for all to enjoy and if you have not done so in the past, you owe it to yourself to spend some time there, bring a blanket or some chairs, raise a cup of your beverage of choice and enjoy one of the best venues to view the Independance Day fireworks. After the fireworks you'll be treated to an impromptu boat parade as everyone leaves the Heritage Park Marina and heads home. If the weather behaves itself, it will make for a good memory.

Sorry that the social committee missed the mark on this one, but we'll look to schedule a similar event once everyone comes home from their mid-summer travels.

Please comment on this post if you wish to connect with others that may be available to share the evening on the bayou.

Happy Independence Day!
Jeff Thoede

Changes in garbage pickup! Beginning July 1st, regular trash pickup for Chamale' Cove will be on Fridays and recycling for all of Slidell will be on Wednesdays only.

Hello CCCA! Happy Summer!

Please take note that the date of the July Board of Directors meeting has been changed to July 15th to accommodate vacation schedules.

We will meet at 360 Robert Blvd at 6:30. The meeting will also be live streamed right here in this FB page. An email will go out to the membership next week as a reminder.

The newest addition to Chamale’ Cove. The little free lending library and reading bench. Lots of labor and love went into this little haven. Many, many thanks to Jeff Thoede for building and installing the library (designed to look just like our condos) and for installing the reading bench. Also thanks to Mark and Vickie Myers who donated the reading bench in honor of Mark’s mother Gloria Myers. Stop in for a sit and read. It’s a beautiful spot!

Palm Sunday Brunch on the bayou was a success! Thanks to everyone that participated. Looking forward to more socials in the Cove as the year goes by.

Brunch at Chamale Cove Palm Sunday Brunch on the Bayou was a great success. Thanks to all that participated and brought the wonderful eats.

Folks, I personally apologize for not having a live stream tonight. I had a technical malfunction. I will have all the glitches worked out for next time.

Cold and drizzly day on the coast. Good time to start construction on the Chamale Cove Little Library. Looking forward to trimming it out and getting it installed.

Spring has sprung and the Chamale Cove grounds are waking up from winter.
