LABOR DAY POOL PARTY

 

MONDAY, September 7th

 

Family Fun Poolside from 1pm to 4pm

 

Come enjoy the music, your neighbors and the free hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, lemonade, water, beer, and margaritas from your neighborhood Social Committee.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if a volleyball game gets under way.  Newcomers are always welcome.

 

There will also be a mixed doubles tennis mixer that morning from 10am to noon.  The first 12 men and 12 women who sign up will play (must be 18 or older).  Contact Kevin Brown at kcbrown8@att.net as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
