I will admit I write this with very mixed feelings. No one likes to see an organization that started with donations from our community so many years ago be dissolved. The Candlewick Political Action Committee (CPAC) at one time did a lot of good for our association. That should not be diminished. The early founders and members were responsible for routing the effluent out of our lake, getting Candlewick residents elected to county positions so we would be well represented, they held meet the candidates events, and accomplished much more. They deserve our sincere thanks for their efforts.
Unfortunately CPAC became embroiled in the effort to try to incorporate Candlewick as a city rather than simply research and report to the property owners as was the mandate from the board. It’s mission became extremely controversial to say the least and took it’s toll.
A few months ago there was an election for two of the five officers of CPAC and as reported here two of our Pride board members were elected by those in attendance to fill those open officer’s seats. We were hoping CPAC could be brought back to it’s original purpose but that wasn’t in the cards.
CPAC went out on a very good note, with the vote to dissolve and donate all remaining unspent community donations to the food pantry for the needy. It started well and it ended well. Almost $1,700 was donated to the pantry.
