Pool House Door
Sometime yesterday the pool house was broken into, the door damaged, and the wiring for the keyfob system ripped out. Community Development is working to have this repaired as soon as possible but until it is repaired none of the keyfobs will work and the pool is inaccessible. They hope to have it repaired by this weekend.
Root Beer Floats Canceled Tonight!
Due to the vandalism at the pool house root beer float night tonight is canceled. Supplies are inaccessible upstairs. We will reschedule as soon as possible! Please check the web, facebook and signs for updated information.

Men’s Wedding Ring FOUND:
I received this yesterday….
"Hey Mark, my friend ... found a ring at our big park [Arbre Park] this afternoon. It has E.H. and M.A. engraved on the inside. She assumes it's a grandparents (male) wedding ring based on the date that's engraved inside the ring. I'm sure it's quite a loss for someone!! She asked if I could get the word out to the neighborhood, so you're my guy.
If the person who claims it can name the date on the inside, she'll return it."
Please email nouvellemegan@gmail.com to claim it.
