MAGNOLIA SHORES FORMS PROPERTY OWNERS GROUP

By Mildred Smith

The Magnolia Shores Property Owners Association has been organized with Maj. Vernon

L. Rozelle of Maxwell AFB as chairman and a 15-member board of directors to govern the

association.

Magnolia Shores is a private resort area between Highland Home and LaPine, a short

distance from Highway 331. Recently, the 200 - acre lake and roads were turned over to the

property owners by the developers, and the association purchased the concession stand and lot

and the boat ramp lot.

The concession stand, bath houses and recreation room have been repainted, barbecue

pits and sun shelters are under construction, and future plans call for paving the parking area and

planting shrubs and flowers.

At present, there are 260 lot owners with some owners having several lots. The

association has no lots for sale but persons interested in purchasing lots may contact those who

own more than one.

In order to finance improvements, the Magnolia Shores Property Owners Association has

announced plans for a chicken barbecue on Sept. 9 at the resort, the $1 barbecue ticket to entitle

the purchaser to enjoy the beach as well. Serving will be from noon until 2:30 p.m. The

association will give as an attendance prize a half-acre lot suitable for a beach house.

The resort has been approved by the State Health Dept., and has electric and telephone

service, is on a U.S. mail route and a school bus route.
