Jeannette and Al started their life together in ND and Minnesota.  They retired after living 30 years in Houston and moved to northwest Arkansas for the quiet life.  She loves spending her free time designing textile arts.

Kathy watches the money.

Kathy visited the Ozarks for 40 years and finally made Holiday Island her home five years ago by way of Dallas, where her two daughters and grandchildren live.  She operated a property management company for most of her career and continues to teach commercial real estate finance classes across the nation.

Alan is voice between membership and  board.

  Alan was originally from New York, to K.C., to Lawrence, to Holiday Island six yrs ago.   He is married (in a hot air balloon) 50 yrs, 2 kids, a home and two long term rentals in Holiday Island.  Past life is varied from Commercial Mortgage Banker, motorcycle mechanic, FFA Check Flight officer, British auto restoration, and home builder.

Gloria is membership secretary and keeps membership rolls and contact information.

Gloria and her husband Bill produced the Holiday Island Community Directory for four years. Gloria kept the residential and informational pages updated while Bill was responsible for the ads and yellow pages. Gloria is an avid gardener and enjoys crafts and volunteer work.

 Dave coordinates the Community Directory.

He served 26 years in the U.S. Coast Guard before transitioning into a decade of project management work. In 2023, Barbara and he retired to Holiday Island from San Antonio.  They now enjoy the natural beauty of northwest Arkansas and stay active in the community through involvement in several Holiday Island clubs and organizations. 

  Barb coordinates the Community Directory.

After more than 20 years in commercial construction, Barb and Dave retired to Holiday Island in 2023. Building has always been part of who she is, whether it’s managing a large project or creating something small at home. These days, she enjoys reading and exploring crafts that let her unwind, get creative, and make something uniquely her own. 

In addition to Treasurer, Kathy also tracks new home ownership and delivers welcome bags to new members.
