Exceptional Volunteer Effort!

Submitted by Marc Stalnaker

Volunteers save us money! The recent installation of the new lighting in the Clubhouse involved a group of our Volunteers that unpacked the new lights, handed them to the hired Electricians, and removed the old ones. Because of this Volunteer effort, the Electricians were able to reduce their bill to TV by $4,000.

You read that right…this group of Volunteers saved the park $4000.

THANK YOU to this group for their effort!

Surgical Gloves

By Fred Prout

I have lived a long ,mostly happy, life. Lots of twists and turns for unforeseen events. A lot of those events have involved the medical profession. We all know about the annual eye exam. Yearly check up. What they now call a wellness visit. The occasional ER or urgent care visits for cuts and bruises.
