Please clean washing machines after using.

Pet hair in door gasket

After finishing your washing, please remember to check the wash machine’s drum, door, gaskets and dispenser drawers for grime and pet hair.

Take a moment to run a clean cloth around the inside of each drum and in each of the dispenser slots so that the next person does not have to clean up after you before getting to their own wash.

Your neighbors and fellow Escapees thank you.

Art Hampton…  still “rolling”.

Due to predicted hot weather, the moving of the July 4th picnic from Snoopy’s Meadow to the clubhouse, and a bothersome tree branch, Bocce Ball play has been delayed until July 10 at 3pm.  Art has been working diligently on the court and it’s ready for play. Please join us at that time. It really is great fun.
