Summer is almost here! Your help is needed to get ready. Clean-up Day is Sunday, May 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. Parents that help clean up may bring their children for a pre-opening swim. There is much work to be done to get the pool area ready for opening day on May 27. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays thru Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It is a huge job to get everything cleaned and organized, so please come and help Bryant & Kelly Prude (who do such a great job of managing the pool and parties) and the other Pool Committee members.

Quail Creek IMPROVEMENTS

Keep watching the common area. A 1ot of work is being done and more is scheduled. The swale between the basketball court and the apartment buildings has been completed. New timbers have been placed to help protect the areas from water damage. A fence is planned in this area as well as partially down Quail Creek Ave. to help define the property lines. The sand volleyball court has been cleared of weeds and grass. The tennis and basketball courts will be resurfaced and windscreens in­stalled. Eventually, each venue will have a self-closing, locking gate. Each property owner will receive two keys for access. You will still need your pass with you.

 

Thanks very much to our fabulous Grounds Committee, Jim Holtman, Howard Bannerman, Jerry Webster and Mason Nichols for volunteering all their time and hard work to make these improvements. The Feasibility Committee also spent many hours meeting and research­ing ideas and getting bids for ideas that will be implemented in the near future. Thanks to all of them.

A NOTE TO Q.C. DOGS

When your owner takes you for a walk in Quail Creek, please remind them to be considerate of your neighbors and carry a scooper and bag for the poop that you will leave along the way. You may not realize that your owners have been asked repeatedly to pick up after you and not allow you to pee and poop in the neighbor’s yards, flowerbeds or common areas. This is a subject that should not have to be repeated but is the #1 complaint from neighbors. They like dogs, but not the mess you leave behind.
