We’re just one month in and it seems it has been a busy year already. The Montclair Pool renovation is in full swing. We’ve had several meetings about the renovations at the 19th Hole with HMR and our long range planning committee. The by laws and covenants committee have been working on by laws amendments. We had a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Daphne Central Park. The Board of Directors had a Saturday morning work session retreat at the Yacht Club. As I’m writing this article, the City of Daphne’s public works department is making preparations to replace the drain pipe under #17, so we can move on with repaving the cart path.

The bathrooms will get some long overdue love. So please, ride by and check it out. We are having the buildings assessed and the property surveyed at the 19th Hole and the
Yacht Club. All of the plans we are to make will depend greatly on these assessments. As these will be some the biggest capital improvements Lake Forest has ever made, you should weigh in your thoughts. We’re doing our best to meet the needs and expectations of our membership, but if we don’t hear from you, we don’t know what you want.
Communication was a topic we spent a great deal of time on at our work session. We’re looking into rebuilding our website, www.lakeforestpoa.org. We’re also looking into creating a Facebook page to help keep our membership informed. We get the fact that fewer people are looking at printed media. So, we’re going to exhaust every avenue we can to keep accurate information going out. It will always depend on the individual members, though, to be as informed and as involved as they want to be.
