*** With the arrival of the Season there are many more residents wanting to attend the Dinner/Dances. The order for meat that is served at every table must be placed by the Tuesday before the dance therefore the organizers must have the number of guests prior to Tuesday. The Host-esses will make every effort to accommodate unexpected guests but please understand it is not always possible. SO make your plans and buy your Dinner/Dance tickets at the Homeowners Meeting or Chef‘s Breakfast each month.

On the morning of the Chef‘s Breakfast, Tony Webb and his faithful crew arrive at 5:30 to set-up and start cooking. At the January breakfast the fellows served over 300 meals and as every cook knows you have to clean up the kitchen before you can quit. Ruthie Bass has volunteered to organ-ize the kitchen cleanup after the breakfast and is looking for some help. 3 or 4 helpers once a month and it would take less than an hour. If you can help please call Ruthie at 413-6112

The Social Council meets the first Tuesday of the month at 3pm in the Board Room of the Clubhouse. Come join the action….
