 GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT

 Included: Capital expenditure projects are still ongoing.  We are currently paving the circle surrounding the Country Club parking lot.  Work is complete on the outside storage structure at the golf course maintenance barn area and they will be moving inside to the bathrooms, employee break room and office area.  The fire department personnel at Lawson Road have agreed to supply water for landscaping at that entrance.  A bid was received for $350.00 for shrubbery from Jake’s Landscaping, Inc.  We are taking bids to paint area adjacent to the stairs entering the Forest Room and the ceiling area in the Bayview.  After a month of ongoing problems with the Country Club freezer, it finally appears to be repaired.  There was minimal spoilage as we used the Yacht Club freezer and other areas available.  The first fine dining experience on April 26 with Master Chef Filippo, his staff and our staff combined, was a very fine presentation.  The next one will be held on June 14.  There is also a cooking class scheduled with Filippo for May 30 at the Yacht Club.  Advertising for both will be on the web site, Spectrum and a mail-out with the next billing.  The Hope Bush vs. LFPOA/Hal Pierce case was heard the week of May 12 and the jury ruled in favor of LFPOA and Captain Pierce on all counts.
