Both are of these are going to be very well-attended events—reserve your spot early! I’m pleased to report the progress with our Town Center improvements. The carpet was replaced in the card room, billiards room and the administrative corridor. The interior painting was completed, and the drywall in the sewing room was replaced and repainted. We expect to all of the new furniture by the end of March. We are nearly finished converting our gas heaters to geothermal electric heaters at the pool. The new system will be much more reliable and environmentally friendly. Golf Club News We’ve got a great month planned at the Golf Club! Both LGA and MGA Member-Guest events are happening in March. The LGA Ladies’ MemberGuest is currently sold out with record participation! If you’re interested in playing in the MGA Men’s Member-Guest on March 14-16, we are still accepting registrations.
