Recreation – Nancy Krueger
July and early August were busy months at the pool. We hosted three private parties and continued swimming lessons. Swim lessons will continue through August. Our new private pool party policy states that private parties can be held before the pool opens on Friday or Saturday mornings and we charge $20/hour which includes lifeguarding and access to the playground. The hosts of the party report that they have really enjoyed the pool and one family is planning a second party this month.
Watermills, our pool maintenance company has repaired two broken tiles at the edge of the pool and (knock on wood) the rest of the equipment is functioning well.
I will be sending out a questionnaire to our guards asking for feedback on their summer experience with the pool to see if we can make improvements for next summer

Homeowner Alert — Skunks and Raccoons
We are receiving reports of skunks and raccoon sightings. Some do not react to shouting or the usual clapping of hands, and other noises as they would do normally in the wilderness. They may be becoming bolder because of garbage not secured, domestic pet food left on decks, or even being fed directly by residents. These animals can be dangerous and disruptive. Please be vigilant about securing your trash or other food sources.
The meeting adjourned at 8:00pm and the next meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 13th at Nancy Krueger’s home.
Respectfully submitted,
Leigh Strinsky
Mar Cheri Secretary
