CHRISTMAS DINNER

 


Soon after Santa arrived our wonderful kitchen crew were out getting turkeys and ham ready for dinner. A couple deep fried and a roasted Turkey and a nice ham all prepared for a 2:00 PM dinner in the clubhouse, with our guests supplying all the sides and boy did they. Never ceases to amaze me how much food ends up on the buffet line.

We had a joyous crowd of about 38 people or so who enjoyed a wonderful buffett dinner with plenty of left-overs to take home for a late snack or another dinner.



Every side you could imagine - from green beans to dressing, mash potatoes, potato casserole, fresh rolls...


AND YAMS!!


Plenty of desserts to enjoy!!


Now to get ready for New Years.

We always have a wonderful dinner/dance for New Years Eve...make sure you sign up and pay in the office. Prime Rib or Chicken Cordon Bleu, your choice. This is a wonderful sit-down served dinner with music by our favorite DJ well into the evening - we celebrate Chicago Time!

POOL IS FINALLY OPEN!

The primary construction and repair of the pool is complete. We are in the process of trying to raise the temp a little, but the cold weather and cloudy days are not helping...we are supplementing the solar a little with some propane heat to get to where the solar and sun will start to maintain the temperature, solar is new to us so we are learning as we go. Water and chemicals and filters are now working perfectly, so if you can stand the cooler temperature please enjoy the pool.

Right now the pool is open on a limited basis, daylight hours only and subject to closing for further construction, we will begin removing the sliding glass doors and replacing with solid walls and some metal art, as well as installing some large potted plants, we will also be painting or stuccoing the building at some point in time soon. New pool furniture is being ordered as we speak and the pool will become a highlight of the park.

Right now we are still sorting out a few problems with the SPA, but it is high on our list to complete as soon as we can.

Please comply with the following rules:

And lastly, a pool update.

I know it does not look like much has gotten done, however there has been a ton (Literally) of work done in the pump room, the filters are getting rebuilt with new sand and gravel, the solar panels are ready to be activated, the spa has been filled and we are working to get all the water stabilized and treated, we need to acid wash the pool so it will be a little while longer, we have an air leak in the plumbing we are trying to locate, pool contractor plumber due here today with test equipment to find the leak. The base for the handicap chair came in and once the concrete cures we can put the cool coat finish on. Also the old skimmers need to be sealed and finished. The park has made a huge investment in the rebuilding of the pool, adding solar, removing the building skylights and now landscaping planned and refurbish the pool and spa doors. Still a ways to go, but we hope to be swimming very soon!


There would be no sweeter words than to say the "POOL IS OPEN"!! There will be a pool Party when we can open it!!

Solar panels for Pool & Spa!



The mount for the handicap Chair finally installed!


Old Skimmers need to be sealed!



Won't be long before the furniture is moved back in!

Winter Season 2021-2022 Begins!

 The clubhouse opened last night for our first "Function", we enjoyed a wonderful Baked Potato Bar Pot Luck. We had about 26 people who brought every conceivable baked potato topping, shredded cheese, onions, chili, brocoli, and there was plenty of salad for everyone.


I made a cheese, ground meat, salsa in the crock pot for a nice hot topping.


We had a nice group of about 26 people!


THE GRILL IS HOT!

Sunday Pancake or French toast breakfast starts!


Why isn't the pool open yet??

After all this construction work and the pool being empty for over a year, the sand filters are so compacted they are not allowing the water to circulate properly and need refurbishing before we can get the chemicals balanced and the water and pool clean and ready for people. We have contracted with another pool company who is gathering the needed parts and materials to rebuild the filters. The spa filter actually pushes sand into the spa and we are not interested in pumping sandy water through our new solar panels, so until the filters are fixed properly the pool and spa will remain closed.

Still starting to look like a fun pool!


UPCOMING EVENTS!

THANKSGIVING DINNER!

We will have our traditional Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner on Thursday the 25th at 2:00 PM in the clubhouse. The park provides roast turkey, deep fried Turkey and Ham and gravy, while the park residents bring a traditional side dish, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, cranberry sauce, or any family favorite casserole. Plus also desserts. LOOK for a sign up sheet in the office, we will be more diligent in "Sign UP BY" so everyone has an opportunity to list their side dish and how many coming so the kitchen knows how many tables to set up and how much Turkey and Ham to make. We always fix the leftovers for Saturday night dinner November 27th!

CHRISTMAS DINNER!

Our Christmas dinner operates the same as Thanksgiving.

A Saturday Evening Dinner Schedule will be announced soon!

NEW YEARS EVE PRIME RIB DINNER CELEBRATION!

We will be planning our New Years Eve celebration with a special dinner with music and dancing following a wonderful sit down dinner in the clubhouse - Kelvin our DJ will be returning and providing all our favorite music for dancing and listening.
