While the weather is beautiful and the green grass of the golf course is tempting, especially if you live in one of the homes on the course, please remember that walking, jogging, or biking on the course, with or without your pet, is NEVER allowed.

Golf balls travel at speeds that can exceed 100 mph. Golf cart paths are in-bounds for golfers, and it is likely that a ball could be hit in the area. Also, chemicals used on the course could be harmful, so unless you are a paying player, please stay off the courses at all times.

If you need assistance getting an appointment and/or understanding the various options, please click on a name below to email them. Provide your name, address, phone number, and birth date. They will coordinate to have whoever is available return your call as soon as their schedule allows.

• Candy Clark
• Judy Gahide

We had a total of 37 comment cards this week: 8 positive, 6 negative, and 23 neutral. Positives included rave reviews for the Stone & Barrel hostesses. They are always friendly and cheerful. We also heard positive comments for the schnitzel, a “Good job Corinna!” for assisting with a gate issue, and a compliment for the BlueStar Landscaping team.

Neutral comments included no consistent theme, but there were a few asking to lift mask requirements for various activities.

Negative comments came in regarding the strategic session held on Tuesday afternoon. Grill on the Green had a negative review of the fish and chips dinner and slow service.

As a reminder, each comment card is sent to the appropriate department, General Manager, and the Board. The submissions are reviewed and responded to by the department head and, occasionally, the General Manager. An individual from the Board will not respond to comments. They track these for discussion items for their Board Workshop.

The entire Food & Beverage Team would like to thank all of our residents. You have supported them by dining in our restaurants and taking food out via our curbside service. Your patronage and generous gratuities make a difference in the lives of our servers, bartenders, hostess, and support team members. Your generosity supports management's efforts to retain these amazing employees, and we all appreciate you!

Please plan ahead and call the ALD office prior to having work done on your home. They will work with you to secure the appropriate permits to display. Permits are on brightly colored paper to ensure being seen from the street. Failure to post a work permit could result in a fine.

This is for the safety and security of the entire community.
