The summer season is in full swing and with the warmer temperatures we are seeing, this has already proven to be a better summer then last year. Doug Bagnall has had the outdoor pools open since the Memorial Day Weekend. Until the kids got out of school, Doug was alternating the opening of Beaver and Rockledge pools. Please remember to bring your badges for each member of the family entering the pool area. They are not required to be attached to your bathing suits, just have them with you in some form, be it on your pool bag, towels or the like. The Rockledge Snack Bar and Convenience Building has been well received and it will be a great addition to this area.

The Adult Lodge has been resided with vinyl siding backed with rigid insulation. All other amenity areas are ready to go. Be sure to visit the walking trails in Section 7, a map of the trails is included in this edition of the newsletter.

As per the vote at the Annual Meeting, the by-laws have been amended and copies are available at the office and on the WLE website. As early as September, the Board of Directors will be calling for a special meeting to vote on the purchase of property referred to as Section 6 located across from the West Gate extending to the intersection of Everly Road. The cost of the property is $750,000.00. Further information will be presented at an informational meeting to be held in conjunction with the August Advisory Board Meeting. The meeting will be video taped for anyone who cannot make it and written material will be available. Of course, a full explanation for the reasons to purchase the property, along with any related materials, will be included in the voting packet that will be mailed to you.

The “new” Board of Directors will be starting out with a full plate with the proposed land purchase, continuing the review of the present By-Laws, Committee Charters and administrative policies. The Board will also be revisiting home rental rules and regulations.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to contact me.

I hope you have an enjoyable and safe summer season.
