My name is Ray Kowalski. I am the President of Arbor Lakes homeowners association. I bought my home in 2009, but did not live here in Arbor Lakes until 2021 when I retired from my 35-year career as a UPS driver.
I'm originally from northern Wisconsin. Both myself and my fiance Della enjoy the year round warmer temperatures. We appreciate living in a community setting. We enjoy being able to see and do activities with our neighbors. Many days it's almost like being on vacation!
Della and I have many hobbies from swimming, kayaking, biking and most important pickleball. These are our main activities, but we also always look forward to discovering Florida with two or three day Adventures. We like working around the house, making our house a home with outside yard work and small projects inside.
My vision for Arbor Lakes and my position is President is being able to participate on a board that engages with our community with transparency, while also realizing a fiduciary responsibility.
