A Community of 36 Units Along Raspberry Bay on Beautiful Lake Charlevoix
The C&O Club is a private residential community organized as a site condominium. The organizational papers, which consist of a Master Deed, Bylaws, and amendments to each, are recorded in the Charlevoix County Register of Deeds and are also available to the public through the links on this website.
C&O Club Drive and Stroud Court are private drives. Only members and guests are permitted. The public may not use them for recreational or sightseeing purposes.
The Association is self-governed by a five-member board of volunteers, elected each year by the unit owners. The Association generally holds its annual meeting over the July 4 holiday.
A short history of the C&O Club property,"Why the Road Curves,” written by longtime resident Jeff Lipshaw, is available here. (This was the subject of a presentation to the Charlevoix Historical Society.)
This website contains information for purchasers, realtors, builders, and other contractors. Information is also available for owners of units in the project (password protected).
The current officers and board members are:
Ben Muladore - President
Jan Kalbfell - Vice President
Jeff Lipshaw - Secretary & Webmaster
Tom Hess - Treasurer
Bill Miros
Noise Policy
The Board’s policy on noise, including construction and fireworks (see below) adopted in 2021, is here.
As of May 2015, both the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township have banned the use of consumer fireworks at all times except for certain days around federal holidays. Please note that this bans the use of consumer fireworks during Venetian Festival.
GFL to Be Sole Trash Hauler
The Board of Directors has directed that GFL will be the sole trash hauler in the C&O Club for reasons of road wear and tear and safety.
GFL picks up on Mondays.
Pickup service is available for a monthly fee. Contact Jill Harris at (231) 547-2162. “Per bag” service is still available (bags can be purchased at Ace Hardware, Oleson’s, and Family Fare).
