barn and roof with a pole type barn for storage of equipment with a
portion of the work to begin next week.
4.
A cart lease contract has been signed with Yamaha. An excellent
arrangement was negotiated. In fact, it is nearly $20,000 - $24,000
better than the last contract based on the 48-60 month time frame.
Anticipated delivery is within the next couple of weeks.
5.
Regarding the ambulance to be donated to the Daphne Fire Dept.,
when it is received I will notify the President and a meeting will be
set up with all interested parties including the mayor, fire chief, the
Board and Stan Keel. This transaction will certainly enhance the image
of the Association and Lake Forest in general.
6.
Pools are being readied for upcoming swim season with plans to
open the Swim & Racquet pool May 10 for weekends until the Memorial Day
holiday when all pools will be open for their summer schedule. The
Ridgewood pool has been designated as the pool for free swimming Tuesday
through Friday for all members in good standing. Operating hours will
be listed in the next Spectrum
7.
While Friday night Karaoke seems to be consistent, Saturday
night’s entertainment attendance is extremely slow. With the weather
improving and members coming down to watch the sunset, the action will
improve at the Yacht Club. We are currently looking into April bookings
for the Yacht Club.

from $4.00 to $2.00 at all pools. The Board will look more into this.
