11 11 Board of Directors NOTES FROM THE BOARD The Club is nearing the end of one of the best years it has experienced since our equity purchase and possibly since its beginning. We have completed many successful projects and achieved much progress during The success is due to the Strong Support and participation the Members have given the Club and Board of Directors during the year. The Club cannot progress without the Members Support. This year we have achieved a significant milestone. We have met our goal of a $217,000 Mortgage Reserve Fund. We have also seen the Nine and Dine activity grow to a tremendous success, (again due to the Members). We have repaired the rough riding golf cart paths, planned renovation of children s playground, refurbished the pool and installed a cost saving salt water system to eliminate the chlorine, and resurfaced the tennis courts to maintain and improve the Club s facilities or amenities. TENNIS COURTS We recently resurfaced the Tennis courts for your use. It is very important to have a good surface for quality play on a tennis court and we must do everything we can to maintain those new surfaces. It was recently reported that people were using the tennis courts for skate boarding and that activity is strictly forbidden on the tennis courts. If you see someone on the courts abusing them by using them for something other than what they are intended please notify the Club Manager. We do allow the basketball court be used for skate boarding when they are not in use by the basketball players.
