Jeffrey Weinstein
I have had the pleasure and opportunity to enjoy Hemlock Farms and the surrounding area for the past 49 years. First, when spending time at my parent’s weekend home in the community, and for the past 37 years as a homeowner, along with my wife.
Until recently, we were part timers. My wife, who is now a retired teacher, spent summers with my daughter, who attended the day camp, as well as the swim team. I enjoyed the amenities of our community on weekends. After retiring a year ago, we made the decision to become full time residents of Hemlock Farms. Prior to retirement, I used my MBA to build a career in management, and for the last 25 years I was the Executive Director and CEO of Hunterdon HealthCare Partners, a healthcare organization in Flemington, NJ. In that role, I led an organization that worked to improve access to care for residents of the county and surrounding area.
Having made the decision to make Hemlock Farms our fulltime residence, I felt it was important to get more involved in our community. I have always believed strongly in giving back to your community, as reflected in the organizations that I am involved with. This past year, I have been a member of the Hemlock Farms Finance Committee, as well as the Public Health, Safety & Security Committee.​​
The following is a list of the organizations I have devoted myself to in the past:
-
President of my Condo Association when I lived in Maryland
-
President of our Homeowners Association in our townhome community when we lived on Staten Island
-
Past Chairman of the Board of Hunterdon County Youth Home
-
Member of the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce for 10 years, serving as the Chairman of the Board for 3 years.
-
Member of Temple Beth El, Hillsborough, NJ Board, and served as the Treasurer for 2 years.
-
Member of the Somerset County 4H Association for over 20 years, where I currently serve as the Assistant Treasurer, and Fair Manager.
Having had the opportunity to serve on committees in our Community, I have decided to run for the Board of Directors. I feel my past work experience, as well as my past experience being on Boards, make me an ideal candidate to join our Board.
Doreen Bove
My name is Doreen Bove and I am running for a seat on the Board of Directors. My husband and I moved from New Jersey to Hemlock Farms in April 2019. We were impressed with the natural beauty, amenities and history of the community and looked forward to making our home here.
I have a lifetime of community service and now my community is Hemlock Farms. In 2019 I immediately joined Planning, Land Use and Architecture serving 2 years from 2019 -2021 and the Public Works and Physical Properties Committee for 6 years from 2019 - present. This year I am the Vice Chair and also secretary. In addition, I am on the Environment Committee serving 4 years from 2021- present, and have been the Chairperson for the last two years. I have been a member of the Public Works Curbside Service Subcommittee since its inception last year. I am also a member of the Septic Code Ad Hoc and the Board of Directors/Staff Committee on Communications. As you can see, community involvement is important to me. I am a volunteer with the Hemlock Farms Library and Story Time, the Hemlock Farms Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company Auxiliary, and the Hemlock Farms Conservancy. All of these experiences make me appreciate our community, members, management and staff.
My volunteerism continues outside of Hemlock as well; I serve at my church, including teaching Sunday School and weekly visits to a local nursing home. I am also a Volunteer Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Hotline Advocate for Victims Intervention Program.
In closing, I love serving on committees and I love living in this beautiful community; it is truly our home. With my experience I have come to realize the only way to effect change is through education and participation. All of us have a stake in the future of our community and I urge members to join committees, attend committee and board meetings, read the Hemlock News and most importantly, please VOTE on the issues important to the welfare of this community. If elected, I will work to maintain its natural beauty which includes our lakes and fishing, wildlife, and its abundant forest.
