Manager Jim reported:

We are still having trouble with our septic tanks. Please be careful about what you put down your drains. Wire ties, hose washers, chair bottoms, pumpkin seeds, etc. etc. really clog up our pipes. Also cactus item do not burn. Please put these in the trash barrels and not in the burn trailer and be very careful to get all the cactus trimmings into the trash, cactus thorns are damaging tires.

The areas outside the park are also privately owned and not picking up after your dogs is not only terribly unsanitary but is disrespectful to our neighbor property owners. Bob Eaton cleaned up and buried dog poo that was outside the park and we thank him for doing that – but if we looked after our own pets no one would have to do that.

The water pipes are plugging up with lime (wonderful dessert water) and the board will have to decide what we are to do about this.

The sheriff is here! Sheriffs will mostly be using our office Thursday through Sundays and it is comforting to have them here.

Medical Team: Mary Ann Fender

We may have to abolish medical equipment for check out. Would anyone like to undertake the task of checking the equipment in and out and also servicing it?

The tentative date for the Health Fair is February 18, 2009.

We need volunteers for our Medical Team and for our Fire Team and we need them now. Most of the volunteers have been on the teams since their inception and we need some new people with their new ideas and stamina. Neither Medical or Fire requires much time but without volunteers we will lose these wonderful services.

Welcome Center: Avril Cox

Please remember to wear your name tags. Please check in to the Welcome Center when you return to the park (also remember to check out when you leave the park for an extended period).

The Welcome Center would like a few volunteers to work a few hours a week making copies, answering questions, etc.
