Important Reminders from Neighborhood Pride Committee:

1. The painting of utility boxes in private yards continues. In the next few weeks, the remainder of boxes in Unit #12 will be painted the Weathered Brown color at no charge to the individual homeowner. If necessary, please cut back or trim shrubs around the utility boxes in your yard to make it easier for the painter and/or utility companies to gain access to the boxes.
2. When you return from being away for the summer, please don't forget to let Administration know, so they can update their records about where to reach you in case of an emergency. If you have changed your e-mail address, it is also important to notify the office of the change for the same reason   E-mail is one of the quickest ways to notify homeowners of emergency situations.

Swimming pool cover: Around this time of the year staff begins monitoring the weather to determine when it will be the best time to cover the pool. If it's covered too soon when the weather is warm, the water becomes too warm and it becomes difficult to properly maintain the chemical balance in the water. If it's covered too late after the weather cools down, the water gets too cool and becomes uncomfortable. The way the temperatures are trending now, it appears that staff will begin covering the pools the week of October 27^th. This is our best estimate as of now and as noted above, the weather will dictate when the pool covering will begin.

Help wanted:Looking for something to do and get paid for it?  Please call Pam Sarpalius at 917-8077 if you are interested in being a part time monitor at the Aquatic and Fitness Center and the Catalina Vista.
