REPORT: The Special Events Committee at its January meeting planned an entire year ahead -- a year that will include adding some fun new events as well as keeping some of the old standbys.

 

Picasso's (Doubletree Clubhouse) will be the scene of a special Tuesday, Fat Tuesday that is, on February 24th. In the near future, we're also planning on holding an Easter egg hunt for youngsters on the Saturday before Easter as well as our annual community-wide garage sale in June.

 

Stay tuned to hear of all our fun events by reading about them in future Doubletree newsletters.

 

REPORT: The Lake Committee finalized the Top 10 Safety Rules at the January meeting. This along with the Flag Alert program will be sent to the POA for approval in time for the '09 boating season. The committee will also be recommending that all boat owners sign a form agreeing to abide by these rules and ensure that anyone operating their boats will do the same. The form would be required to be signed in order to purchase a boat permit. The Top 10 rules will also be posted on the bulletin board at the entrance (ramp) of the lake.

 

The committee will be discussing the implementation of the Lake Patrol which has been approved by Doubletree management. Among topics to be discussed and recommended to the POA are the frequency of patrol, the boat which will be used and the warning and fine system which will be adopted.

 

Doubletree management has approved the fish restocking program which will be implemented in the spring. The purpose of the program is to maintain a good balance of size and type of fish in our lake and hopefully reduce some of the pesky type fish which are a nuisance to swimmers.
