My Fellow Lot Owners/Friends:
The weatherman predicts a great weekend, lots of activities planned, how does it get better?
I met an amazing young man last week. His name is Tanner, and as you read this keep in mind he is 3
years old! I was on my way (at the allowable speed limit) to the store when I saw a little fellow dragging
a plastic bag behind him. I stopped, and asked his Mom if I could offer them a ride, to which she replied
"thanks but no". It was explained to me that Tanner demands that Mom accompany him every Saturday
as he makes the rounds and picks up garbage around the Resort. This moved me more than a little, and
I told him "no one works for free" at Carefree. I asked him to hop in the cart with Mom and I, and I would
buy him anything in the store as a reward. I was amazed when he went directly to the freezer and
picked out an inexpensive Freezie. His reasoning (I am guessing) is that they were inexpensive enough
that he wasn't afraid to ask if he could buy three so that he could give one to each of his younger twin
sisters. He was right! Amazing for a 3 year old—some day all of Carefree, if not our Country, will know
Tanner. He has promised me that we can grow up together.
Our very first Pilates class takes place this Saturday. I will not be there, but hope many of you will attend, and enjoy.
I am very excited about the debut of our first ever "Teen Pool Party". No question, this 13-17 year old
group has been given little opportunity for activities sponsored by the Resort. I truly believe the venue
for this first attempt is conducive for success. If it proves to be popular, this will be the first of many.
Parents, if your Teen is hesitant about attending, please encourage them to at least make an appearance. I will be one of the supervisors, and will be watching closely hoping to observe and learn from
their maturity, and perhaps a few "pick up" lines.
As ever, I am looking forward to visiting, and seeing as many of you as possible this weekend---in the
meantime: Be safe, be happy. Be "Carefree".
Points to Ponder:
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not the desire to beat others.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film.

MARINA SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED
Once again, a big thank you goes out to all our dedicated
members who worked so hard at the marina installation.
Not only to those who put the docks in but to those whose
efforts help to beautify the marina. We all should be very
proud of the great marina we have.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
We all detest rules, especially the ones that don’t make any sense to us. Rules are the result
of someone lacking common sense and creating problems that negatively affect many others.
As a result rules are put in place to protect the majority. The following are a couple of the
marina regulations and the reasons that they have been put in place.

Quads, ATV’s, etc. are not allowed in the marina during the summer as, in the past and
more than once, there have been ruts in the gravel created by ATV’s. This resulted in
someone having to rake the ruts out by hand—not a fun job.

The marina is for members and their own watercraft only. The watercraft must be
registered with the marina society and the trailer must have the membership number
sticker and the year sticker on the tongue of the trailer in order to launch. It isn’t fair to
the members, who pay dues each year for the operation and upkeep of the marina, for nonmembers to launch. Please do not allow others to use your
access card as it will result in the loss of your access for the
year.
HOUSEKEEPING

You may have noticed the “out” gate was open this past
weekend. We hope to have it repaired by the weekend. Your
Board is working on the repairs.

We did our best to make the appropriate changes as we reconfigured A-String this spring

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.
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.

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.
