BOARDWALK
Here we are in the Christmas season
again. Speaking for the Board, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. May you all stay well as we look toward year 2012.
A couple of updates: Many of you have
noticed the construction at our pool. We are awaiting the installation of
the pool cover which is expected to occur December 14th and hope it will be
in operation by the weekend. Everything has progressed on schedule so far
without incident.
As for the Clubhouse, a call from the
Civil Engineer this week indicated that everything is moving along as
planned, unfortunately at a snails pace. We are still looking for
construction to begin March 1st or hopefully before.
Last of all, you may have noticed some
lumber piled up on the vacant lot down near the south end of Vantage Trace.
It is the property of the contractor who did the cement work at the pool and
he intends to use it for cement work on the Clubhouse expansion. I told him
that we will not be responsible for any damage or loss of the material, but
we would try to keep an eye on it. If anyone sees anything suspicious going
on contact a board member. Thank you for your help.

Our Christmas wish for you
Is not a simple one
For we wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth
and sun
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the
lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you
sought
May god be your strength and light
May your spirit never
grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of
gold
We wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come
true
May you have a Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year, too
