May 12, 2008
Winter apparently isn't quite finished here at Crystal Lakes. Snow
flurries have started falling this afternoon, and predictions are for
more snow tonight. Some of the early hummingbirds have arrived and
the bluebirds keep trying to move in, until the next cold storm moves
through. The promise of spring and summer are here, we are probably
just impatient for the coming warmer weather. However, plans
continue to move forward for summer activities and services.
The Restaurant kicks off the summer season when its doors open Friday
for lunch and dinner. Remember, you can pick up any last minute
items you need in the convenience store, which is open similar hours
to the restaurant. The laundromat should also be open by this coming
weekend.
Maintenance staff has started working to bring up the 6th Filing
water system. The requisite water tests are being performed on the
system; and upon confirmation from the lab that the water meets
potable water standards, work will begin to energize the lines. We
are very hopeful to have the system operational by Memorial Day
Weekend, weather permitting.
The 11th Filing Small System lines which froze this winter have been
re-opened this week also. The ground is definitely thawing, at last.
Thanks to the folks who joined us at the New Owners' Orientation.
That is an excellent opportunity for small group discussion and a
time to answer questions in a more casual setting. It is a privilege
for me to get to meet owners and get to know what questions and
concerns they may have. Thanks, also, to the representatives from
the Bear Aware Team, the Crystal Lakes Community Fund Association,
and the Crystal Lakes Volunteer Fire Department who spent their
Saturday afternoon at the meeting and shared information about these
many varied aspects of Crystal Lakes. The next New Owners'
Orientation is scheduled for August 9, at 1 p.m. in the Wapiti
Center. Everyone is welcome.
Both Boards have a busy month ahead of them, with regular Board
meetings this coming Saturday, and Annual Meetings held in the next
few weeks for each Association's membership. All members are
encouraged to attend.
There will be a meeting immediately following the Annual Water &
Sewer Meeting for those property owners who participate in the water
and/or sewer 6th Filing Small Systems. The W&S Annual Meeting is
scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. on May 24th in the Water & Sewer
Building. Members are invited to attend the Annual Wine and Cheese
Party at the Wapiti Center that same evening; doors open at 5:30
p.m. Hope to see you at some or all the Water & Sewer events.
I'll keep you posted.
