Park Meeting
From the park meeting on Tuesday. What a wild time with the Cupids coming out and handing out candy and kisses!! ****Lynn is BACK!! She reported that there are 644 people in the park on 350 sites and 81 Furry Babies. The office is asking that you put your site number on your permeate model or model units. The 1st responders are having trouble locating some lots. ****Your rates are the same as last year and you are reminded to pay before April 1st to get the discount. ****Corporate has hired a photographer to take pictures. If interested in being in them sign up.

From JD: Respect your neighbor's right to quiet time.   Quiet time starts at 10:00 pm.

*******On my soapbox: IF someone in the park has a beef with our managers go see them. Don't leave unsigned threats on a bulletin board. Lynn and JD have an open-door policy at all times. They are the best managers we have had in a long time. They care about you and our Park.

Safety Issue
Walking on Trophy's streets about dusk and later into the evening
I notice many golf carts and bikes do not use their lights.
A few drivers:
- drive in the middle of the street
- still have a heavy foot ( save some fuel and your $$ )
Walkers need to face the vehicles.
Safety is #1.
Thank you ,
A concerned resident
--Thanks Shirley I have noticed that too and walkers need to wear something other than black!!
