Fellow Lot Owners/Friends:
I hope you enjoyed last weekend as much as I did.
What can I say about the Amazing Race, except to say "it really was amazing!! I had the opportunity of being at the last station and seeing each team as they finished. The enthusiasm, and genuine joy on the faces of young and old, attested to the enjoyment they all felt. Sincere congratulations to Amber and her team of vol-unteers for their efforts. The challenges at each station were fun and well thought out--no question lots of hard work, and planning went into this event.
The kid's dance is always an enjoyable event to attend. There are the shy wallflowers, the "movers and shak-ers", and everywhere an opportunity to make new friends. I picked up a few dance moves myself by watch-ing—the only problem is that I can't do any of them.
This weekend will bring out the gamblers for the poker tournament. As usual we are expecting a full slate of competitors.
Another great activity for kids, and for the entire family is the Scavenger Hunt. It takes place on Sunday, and all participating kids get prizes.
Please, please make an effort to attend the Special Meting next weekend regarding the proposed land pur-chase. Of course, vote as you see fit, but make certain you are making an informed decision.
Anyone on the committee would be happy to field your questions this weekend.
As we get close to our children being back in school, I hope you are hearing them comment that they had a super summer at Carefree.
The Resort looks great, weather for the weekend looks good—where else would you rather be?
Be good to yourselves, and remember: Be safe, be happy, be "Carefree"
P.S.--Hi Irish, and many thanks--see you in April.
Points to ponder:
To those that think I may be carrying a little extra weight--I am not fat, I just come with airbags because I'm so precious.
Why is Monday so far from Friday and Friday is so close to Monday?
Best regards
Dennis
Land Purchase - Letter from Pete Kitson, Lot 794
I started out thinking that I would vote against the Smith land purchase as I couldn't see the logic behind it. I was also skeptical of the resort being able to fund the ideas which were suggested for possible land use. I had my concerns about the towers and how much of the land would be usable. The earthmoving costs were also an issue. Attempting to find the answers caused me to become confused and frustrated due to the lack of information before me. I felt the decision had to be simplified by looking at facts, not potential. I would like to present some facts both for and against.
CONS
future land use rezoning possibilities unknown
no estimates given for development costs
not all 60 acres are usable due in part to the 10 meter setback from towers
no approach
grazing fees would not be a guaranteed income
development, other than the road, probably would not occur for some time due to the cost as well as the
resorts’ near future needs
PROS
45 acres are usable
an approach will be made by the County or Smith at no cost to Carefree – this could be stated in the
purchase agreement
elimination of compound rent (Smith) and cost of burning brush (Dickson Leisure)
rental income from the towers and other revenue generating possibilities
good chance of renting land back to Smith for pasture – discussed with Smith
options for the future i.e. sewage, storage, fresh water storage, etc.
room to expand other facilities as needed
elimination of the high cost to move surface drainage if requested by Smith
A real possibility exists to create a clay capped road on Smith land for access and usage by the sewer
truck (present paved road would be used in wet conditions). The road could be built by the resort for minimal cost. This would cause less damage to our paved road and would reduce the smell.
combination of reducing expenses and generating revenue would total $5,700.00 per year (compound
rent, access to the burning area, tower income, and grazing fees)
I now feel that the purchase would provide insurance for the future. A decision not to purchase would elimi-nate almost all options. The cost of the purchase appears to be reasonable and manageable and I strongly believe we need to consider the future in our decision.
This is a very important decision and I strongly encourage everyone to vote.
Sincerely Pete Kitson
Letter from Don Shewchuck
Jim Smith approached me a couple of years ago to talk about the rent for our Carefree sign at the range road
25 and the 10 compound stalls that are on his land. His question for me was how much we were paying for
these two items. I told him that we weren't paying any kind of rent on these two items. He said he wanted
$500.00 for the sign and $1500.00 for the compound stalls. The next thing he asked was if we could think
about changing the flow of our surface water that drains onto his property. He has a little piece of land that he
can't access because of the drainage ditch. We now pay the rent on the two items and haven't talked about
the drainage ditch since the conversation.

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers, drivers and contestants who helped make the first Amazing Race Carefree a resounding success!!! I had just as much fun planning it as those who took part. I look forward to plan-ning one for 2016, so watch for de-tails early in the season.
Amber
From Team Seven
We would like to give a big Thank
You to Amber Chapman and all her
volunteers for the amazing job with
the Amazing Race last weekend!!
Thanks Amber!!!

HELP WE ARE BEING INVADED
Has anyone noticed the lovely accommodations the ants have built near the
shop? We believe they are killing some of our trees in the marina and we have
dumped a whole container of ant killer on their super-sized hotel. This resulted
in more construction. You have to admire their strength and determination but
we would like to encourage them to build elsewhere—many miles away. Does anyone out
there have some experience with getting rid of ants? If so, please send your suggestions to the
above email address. We need to stop this before some child decides to play in their
construction zone.
PLASTIC JUGS STILL NEEDED
We are still in need of colored plastic jugs (not white) such as fleecy and tide jugs. They should
be at least 2.5 litres in size. They are needed during the fall takeout to use as markers. If you
have any, please drop them over the fence into the compound at the marina as soon as possible
as we need to have them filled with foam before the takeout.
REMINDER—Members on Array A and B
Our plan for next year is to replace array “B” entirely with a new system which will result in the
elimination of more slips to accommodate the wider space between fingers. We will replace any of the
shorter fingers on array “A” with the longer fingers from array “B” that are no longer needed. If you
are on array “A” or “B” we encourage you to remove all of your hardware/bumpers at the
end of this season as they will not be transferred to the new docks.
HOUSEKEEPING—2016 Membership Dues
Invoices for the 2016 season will be mailed out the end of February and are due March
31, 2016. For those of you who are lucky enough to spend your winters in a warmer
climate and won’t be around to pay by the due date, you can either send in a post dated
cheque for the same amount as the 2015 dues or leave your credit card number with
Anna Marie and your payment will be put through when it becomes due. For those of
you who have already indicated that you wish your credit card number kept on file, please try to
remember to update with Anna Marie if the card expires or is cancelled. If payment is not received by
March 31st, a $50.00 administration fee is added to the balance. REMEMBER also, if you move, send
in a change of address so you receive your invoice on time.
