New Park Signs And Other Information.

New Signs

If you haven't noticed, the Civic Association has installed new signs in the parks. The signs match the design of our entrance signs and replace signs that were inconsistent in design and damaged. The new signs are vandal resistant and should be a nice addition to our neighborhood.

In addition a message board including a space for pavilion reservations will soon be installed near our new pavilion.

Fire

We had a lighting caused electrical fire at the swimming pool in November. All damage has been repaired and insurance covered the costs.


Planned Improvements

Near term improvement plans include improving the plantings at the entrances to our neighborhood.


Civic Association Dues

Don't forget that dues statements have been sent out and are late if received after March 1, 2010.
