The holidays are over but memories will be lasting for those who celebrated by attending Breakfast with Santa this past month.

Kids Fishing Tournament

The Kids Fishing Tournament date has been set for May 16, 2010 from 1pm to 3pm. It will be open to residents of Doubletree East and West for kids 18 and under. As usual, howeowners' grandkids as well as nieces and nephews are welcome to participate. Look for more details upcoming.

 

Adult Fishing Tournament

We are considering holding a fishing competition for adults. Participants would be required to pay an entry fee of around $25 with proceeds going to the winner(s). No details have been worked out yet, but we would like to know if there is an interest in hosting such an event. Please send email to tpingel@doubletreelake.net if interested.

 

Independence Day Boat Parade & Fireworks Display

We have been discussing the possibility of holding this event on Independence Day weekend. We would invite boat owners to decorate their boats and form a parade around the lake prior to the yet to be approved fireworks display.

 

House Numbers on Docks

The Lake Committee voted unanimously in favor of requiring all docks on the lake to have their house number displayed with 4" numeral decals. This is being done to properly identify the precise location for rescue workers in the event of a lake related accident. This change will be submitted to the POA for approval.

 

Boat Trailer Permits

Based on a number of suggestions from homeowners, we decided to recommend the implementation of permits for all boat trailers parked or garaged in Doubletree. The suggest cost for each trailer permit will be $25.
