President - Raymond Kowalski president@arborlakeshernando.com
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.
VP/Treasurer - Stephen Wrinkle vp@arborlakeshernando.com
My wife, Pam, and I moved to Arbor Lakes 10 years ago and enjoy living here very much.
I am the youngest of six children, all born in the 1950s. I have two daughters, a stepson and a stepdaughter, and five grandchildren. I grew up in western Massachusetts, where I raised my children.
I graduated from Westfield State College with a BS in Business with a major in finance and a minor in accounting.
Secretary - Madonna Patton secretary@arborlakeshernando.com
I have volunteered to serve as the Secretary of Arbor Lakes HOA here in Hernando, FL. Originally from Kankakee in cold Illinois, my husband Larry of 59 years and I are parents of 2 daughters with 4 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. My BA in Art led me to the classroom where I spent 40+ years mentoring students to enjoy middle school Math in both public and private sectors. Vacations to Florida were always on our summer schedule and eventually our retirement destination in 2014. We found Arbor Lakes to be a gem in the rough, financially sound, with a community of pleasant people with displaying exceptional camaraderie. In the position of secretary I will be responsible to post a notice on the clubhouse bulletin board of HOA meetings and record the minutes of each in a timely manner. Most importantly, the secretary is responsible to prepare and distribute the Welcome Packet of information to all new residents.
Director of Grounds - TJ Groff groundsdirector@arborlakeshernando.com
I'm from WI, where I had a successful career with We-Energies, the primary electrical utility company in the Midwest. I was a control operator, overseeing all the functions of the operating systems within the facility.
I’m married to Karrie Groff and have three children. Florida has been home since 2023. I’ve been called by family and friends a “Jack of all Trades and Master of None” and the modern-day MacGyver from the 1980s action series, MacGyver. Troubleshooting challenges is definitely something I love to do – always thinking outside the box.
My goal as Grounds Commander is to serve our AL community by repairing/replacing items that help keep our neighborhood beautiful and operating efficiently.

Two granddaughters-- 1 each in New York and Montana. Her hobbies include reading and Yoga.
Linda decided to give back to our community and joined the Board of Directors in January 2022. Trying to keep the Clubhouse operating smoothly with all the activities that go on under its roof.
