The annual fire alarm inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17th,  2009 at 1:00 PM.  The alarms will be tested at that time.

 New mulch and landscaping will be done on the property in the next 2 - 4 weeks.  Steve wants to allow the heavy rain season to pass by first, to save the mulch from being washed away.

The south gate has been repaired.  We’ve gone back to the schedule of being open 5:00 AM until 10:00 PM.  The north gate will remain closed.

Questions or comments; please call the office at # 934-8340.

Thank you,

It will take approximately a week to get the gate repaired.

A new natural gas grill was installed in the pool area.

Finally spring is here and landscaping will soon be underway!  Mulch beds will soon be refreshed, adding new mulch where needed.  Dead scrubbery will be removed; some bushes look dead, but will be given more time to spring into life.  Some bushes may need some pruning and cleaning up.  Flowers are being planted in the pots around the pool and clubhouse. 

The pool is being prepped for opening.  Water is being added at this time.

The parking lot was painted and striped about 2 weeks ago.  It turned out very nice.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office at # 934-8340.

Thank you
