A Not So Gentle Reminder…
It seems that those of us who walk around the neighborhood have had to dodge to many piles of “dog business” lately. Please be courteous of others and clean up after your pets. (A couple of plastic garbage bags will work – one as a glove and one as a depository.) Remember, the definition of “clean up” is to remove the mess, not conceal it.

Swim Team News
The Cyclones had a very successful season this year with two victories and two losses. One of our losses was only by six points! The swimmers and coaches worked very hard this year at practice as we moved into a tougher division and their hard work has obviously paid off. Thanks also to all the parents and volunteers who make this endeavor possible.
Our team party will be held at the pool on Thursday August 3rd from 6pm to 9pm. A note to residents, the pool will close at 5pm and be open to swim team members only for the event.
