FROM MANAGEMENT Parking of golf carts at the side of your carport is not permitted. You will be allowed to create parking for your golf cart if you provide a sketch of a “path”, alongside your driveway, to the office for approval. When at the clubhouse parking is permitted on the grassy area across from the parking lot, therefore leaving parking spaces for cars. Absolutely no auto/truck parking on the lawns. Street parking is ok for up to six hours. All pets must be leashed when outdoors. Do not tether any pet.
THE PRESIDENT I am sitting here reflecting over what has transpired since the new board has been in place since January of this year. With the new board meeting for the first time in January we experienced the hurdles of being the “new board”. February, we had a town hall meeting and asked for the community’s input. This was a valuable tool for us and assisted us in our focus and goals. March, this was a successful month. We were able to take care of some of the issues and concerns of the community. To touch on a few accomplishments; the outlets by the pool have been replaced, the lighting at the pool has been repaired and the pool facilities are now usable until 10 PM. Lights in the clubhouse have been replaced. We now have three new billboards
FROM THE EDITOR All items must be given to Connie by the 20th of the month. ALL NEWSLETTERS WILL BE HAND DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME. They can be emailed to snowbirds if you let me know when you leave and when you are to return. If you prefer a mailed copy, just provide self addressed and stamped envelopes for the months you will be away. We now have three new billboards thanks to a generous gift from Jeannette Doenges son. The big news is, Bingo will be coming back! New committees have been formed and more…. I am very proud of this board. We have a great working relationship with management and are grateful for what management has done for the community. Please thank them if you see them around the community working. The clubhouse is filling up with activities. We now have quilting on Tuesday from 9:30 to 1 PM. More and more residents are attending and creating their own individual heirlooms. Tuesdays, in the afternoon everyone is welcome to attend the pool social at 2 PM. Bingo will be back on Tuesday nights, the date and start time will be posted soon. Card games are played in the library on a regular basis. The card game 3-13 is well attended on Wednesday nights from 7 PM until the game ends. If you want to make greeting cards, there is a group on Wednesday that meet from 1 to 3. Thursdays, rock painting starts at 11 to 1. Thursday nights Euchre starts at 6:45. Pinochle just started on Sunday nights at 6 PM. Mondays nights, HOA meetings take up two nights, Wii one night and finally, Bunco for one
