The holiday season is a time when many residents enjoy visits from family and friends. Many times those visitors are young grandchildren. While we want our young visitors to feel welcome in our park we want to remind their hosts (our residents) that there are several rules that apply to our young guests. The first applies to the use of golf carts within the park. The use of golf carts is limited to those persons properly licensed within their state of residence and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL THE GOLF CART OPERATOR BE UNDER THE AGE OF 16. A golf cart is not a toy. It is a vehicle capable Our winners were: Third Place - Polly Aubry Second Place - Pat Holland First Place - Irene & Chuck Gassek I would like to thank everyone who judged, baked, served, collected money, and provided all the photographs. Without everyone's help, our party could not be successful. Thanks to everyone! BOCCE BALL Linda Ellis Bocce ball has been postponed until Dec 14th. The courts are not ready.
