Hello and welcome to all Carefree owners and families. It sure felt great to be back at the
lake last weekend, what great weather!!!
Everything is starting to look so good out there. The flower pots are up, the washhouse construction is well under way and our fitness equipment will be in soon. Don and his crew are
hard at work.
The pool was busy, as were the play grounds. North beach looks fantastic, no garbage or
wood. Mike and I walked it and felt like we were in Mexico. Now we just need some more
water in the reservoir!!
Our first social function is next weekend. Please join us for a pub and games afternoon,
starting at 3 pm.
June 6th, is our AGM and we hope to have a follow up dance that evening. Join us for a fun
filled evening and get your crazy hats ready to go!
Bettina and I stocked the bar last weekend. Our new bar cooler looks great. We have a full
complement of bartenders to keep us lubricated over this social season.
I had a visit from a cousin last Sunday who was from Calgary. His family was totally impressed with our resort. Sometimes, it takes a stranger to the area to remind us how special
this place is.
Thank you to all the event co-ordinators that have already approached us about organizing
social events. Our calendar for July and August is almost full!
Your quote for the week:
The secret to having it all, is believing you already do!!
Have a great weekend.

WELCOME BACK
As a result of our AGM last Saturday, we have a few changes to your Board. Peter Flannigan and
Greg Eagleson have stepped down from their positions and will be missed from your Board. They
have offered their continued help and I’m sure the present Board will be calling on their expertise.
Both Peter and Greg are valued members and deserve a big THANK YOU from all the members of
the society for the many volunteer hours they have given us.
Rob Lemon and Damien Leroy were elected our newest members of the Board and we look forward
to working with both of these men.
Many thanks to Susan Cramer for guiding us through the AGM each year. We couldn’t do it so efficiently or quickly without
you Susan. Our final but very important thank you goes out to Lynne Wortman who magically and silently makes donuts and
coffee appear for our meeting.
GLBS BY-LAWS
At our 2014 AGM a committee was formed to review the current by-laws as many feel they need to be brought up to date.
This will require a vote from the membership and we are expecting the changes to be presented at the 2016 AGM.
MARINA RECONFIGURATION
As reported at the AGM, we have been working on this project and believe a solution has been found for a new system
although we will be using what we have for one more season. This year we will reconfigure A-string eliminating 2 fingers (4
slips) using the present system. As a result we may be reassigning some members to different slips. Your cooperation will be
greatly appreciated.
WORK BEE - HELPING HANDS NEEDED!
There is a work bee lined up for Sunday, June 7th (next day after the resort AGM) to complete tasks that
need to be done before the marina is installed. Anyone interested, please show up at the marina by 9:30
am. See one of the Board members when you arrive. We require 15—20 members and if any of you have a
drill, please bring it along. Let’s see if we can get some of the younger bodies out as our old, dedicated boys
are starting to feel their age. Keeping your fees as low as possible is dependent on volunteer labour and it’s
always a chance to meet some new people.
MARINA INSTALLATION
This will be announced in the future as we receive more details regarding the water level.
MEMBER EMAIL
Anna Marie is putting together a member contact group email so that
we can inform our members by email. We have many of the members’
email addresses but not all. If you wish to stay informed, please send
an email to [email protected] to be put on the list.
Remember the resort and the boating society are two separate entities
so if you change information with the resort, please remember to inform
the boating society as well.

NOTICE TO LOT OWNERS
We suggest that you
use RV toilet tissue
or single sheet paper in your trailer.
RV-friendly toilet paper is made to disintegrate quickly to avoid
clogging up your sewage system or tank.
Edgar Farms Asparagus Festival Update:
Due to concerns over this year’s harvest following two devastating hail storms last year, Edgar
Farms has cancelled its annual asparagus festival, which many Carefree residents enjoyed.
The event was set to go ahead this weekend, but they’ve decided to cancel due to the limited
supply of their sweet asparagus following a “perfect storm” of weather conditions last year that
forced the farm to decide not to pick certain portions of the fields.
They will continue to pick from the healthiest parts of the fields and will be selling a limited supply of asparagus at farmers’ markets and the farm’s store.
NOTICE TO LOT OWNERS

REMINDER
GOLF CART INSURANCE
As you know, we require proof of
insurance for all golf carts as per policy.
Please bring in your current proof of insurance to
the Office in order to receive your required ‘15’ sticker. We
will be looking for your name, expiry date and specification that the golf cart is in fact covered. If the insurance
you submitted last year is still viable, come into the office
and we will give you your sticker.
A concrete image
Work is progressing nicely on the new concrete pad for
the outdoor exercise equipment. The stone paths have
also been upgraded to concrete. The concrete company and our own Carefree staff members have been
hard at work this past week, getting it ready for the
weekend.
We plan to police this subject more thoroughly this
year, as it has been in effect for nearly 4 years now, and
should be routine for lot owners with golf carts. Golf carts
found driving around the resort without a ‘15’ sticker will be
escorted back to their respective lots, and should remain
parked until the sticker has been issued. If a golf cart is
caught without the appropriate sticker more than once, a
fine of $25.00 will be issued to the lot owner. Repeat offenders can expect increasing penalties including having
their golf cart removed from the resort.
We are confident that this procedure will ensure that
our Carefree community is a safer place for all residents.
For more information regarding golf carts, please
see current policy statements.
EMERGENCY AND AFTER HOURS HELP
In case of emergency: Call 911 then call the resort @ 227-2100 choose option #9 or 304-4196.
Leave a message including name, lot and phone number where you can be reached, and
type of emergency. Staff will respond immediately.
This procedure is for emergencies only.
After Hours Assistance: The black phone outside of the office will allow you to contact the
staff who will respond as soon as possible. Please press option #9 or phone 304-4196.
Please leave name, lot and phone number so that we may respond.

PROPANE
The store will no longer be filling propane tanks.
We have gone to the Tank Traders Barbeque Tank Exchange Program.
Customers buy their first Tank Traders tank. The tanks are full of propane and ready to use.
When your tank is empty, you simply return your empty tank to the store and trade it for
another full tank. You only pay for the cost of the propane.
If you have an existing 20 or 30 lb. tank that is certified, you can exchange it for a Tank Traders tank and only
pay for the propane. Never have to wait for filling and always have a safe, certified tank.
40 lb. and 100 lb. tanks will not be accepted.
