Facilities Committee Report This is a busy time of year for the Facilities Committee. We are working on landscaping, pool Contractors, etc.We have a new Landscaping Company whom you will see around (after the snow clears!). They will be busy mulching
and sprucing up the neighborhood for spring.
Pool Report:We are in the process of interviewing multiple pool management companies. The final decision will be presented to the Board by the end of the week.Some items to note:
· There will be no community sponsored swim lessons this year· We will be switching to saltwater for the 2013 pool season going forward.Saltwater is preferred over chlorine which is why many pools are converting to saltwater. There is an initial charge for the conversion; after that it is less expensive to maintain. Some of the advantages are it is softer on your skin, it’s natural and eliminates the need for harsh chlorine which
may be outlawed someday.
Please contact Kristen at [email protected] if you'd like to
join our Friday morning playgroup. Friday mornings don't work? Let Kristen know if you
have any interest in forming a second playgroup.
