POOL/TENNIS:
Parents, your cooperation and assistance is requested in seeing that teenagers
do not leave home without a key to get in, obey the rules, and are respectful
to lifeguards. Lifeguards will not leave their job to admit them. Lost keys may
be replaced/or $5 from Linda, phone 882-5211. The Pool Committee is initiating
a system for disciplinary action for those who disobey rules, jump/climb fence,
and are disrespectful to lifeguards: First Offense, restricted from pool I day;
Second Offense, restricted 3 days; Third Offense, restricted for 1 week.
Further offenses will require Board of Directors consultation and action. The
pool and tennis courts are a valuable resource and enhance the value of all our
homes. Their proper security and care is essential for the neighborhood.

MSU - Go Bears - and Lori is a

NEW RESIDENT'S DINNER: Our fifth annual dinner held June 6 at the Pavilion
was a tremendous success! Almost all of the 20 new homeowners who have moved
here in the last year attended. The potluck dinner was hosted by the
Hospitality Committee and the Board of Directors. Nathan Silkett, our
neighborhood police officer, spoke, and Committee chairpersons told about the
goals and activities of their committees and encouraged new residents to get
involved. The new residents introduced themselves, telling where
they moved from and their occupations. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by
all.
THE QUAIL CREEK LADIES BRIDGE CLUB: Meets the fourth Thursday of each month at member's
homes on a rotating basis. Any and all bridge players
are encouraged to join in and share the fun. Call Sarah at 882-3701
GROUNDS: The
Grounds Committee has been busy keeping up with the irrigation system,
replacing broken sprinkler heads and adjusting the watering schedule. The
system is now on a three-day-a-week schedule. Unfortunately, large amount of
soap was recently put in our fountain. This is not good for
the system and will take some time to work out. Our neighborhood is
known primarily for our beautiful fountain, and it is sad when it is
vandalized. It would be extremely sad if it became unusable.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Three new menu items have been added to www.QCPOA.com.
including Filing an Online Police Report with the
Springfield Police Department (if we don't report it, they don't know it
happened). Check it out and use it if needed. We are very fortunate to have
homeowner, Joe Brozovich, as our webmaster.
CHESS ANYONE?
A Chess-playing homeowner would like to know if there is
anyone who would like to get together and play at the Pavilion. Call Joe
at 882-3992.
SWIMMING LESSONS: Our resident WSI certified swimming instructor, Cassie Parker, is
offering the neighborhood swimming lessons. Please call Cassie, 886-5129 for
more information.
