The changes in ownership of the Olympus Lodge and unsold land as well as concerns about the ownership and continued operation of the water system resulted in a meeting of property owners in the Olympus and Bellevue Heights area in August of 1965. One of the results of this meeting was the formation of the Olympus-Bellevue Heights Property Owners Association. A Constitution was adopted and the first Board of Directors elected at a general meeting of property owners on August 13, 1966.
The initial concerns the Association addressed were the water and sewer system: both systems were old and unreliable and generally inadequate. The owners were also concerned about road maintenance and the safety of their property during the winter. Committees were formed to address these problems and dues of $5 per year per property were collected.
The Association has remained active, meeting every summer since 1966, to elect directors, assess dues, and address many of the same problems that the members tackled in the first meeting.
