MANAGEMENT REPORT – Asst. manager Ken Barnhart said we should ignore the nasty rumor that our park would no longer be for 55 over.....a new gate sign will be up soon. We are reminded to turn on golf cart lights when driving after dark. We are encouraged to use the new parking lot provided for golf carts to the north of Friendship Hall as this helps with traffic. Ken noted some pets are on special diets so we should not throw out treats unless checking with pet owner first. Website for park is riovalleyestates.com
