National Night Out August 4

The evening of August 4th, 2009 is National Night Out. This is a great opportunity for neighbors to spend an evening with one another to get acquainted or reacquainted and talk about your neighborhood. National Night Out is an anti-crime event for heightening crime and drug prevention awareness. Neighborhood groups can generate support and participation in anti-crime efforts like Neighborhood Watch, safety committees, safe seniors, safe children etc. No one knows your neighborhood better than you. If you have an event, emphasize what your residents can do in your neighborhood to reduce the chance of becoming a victim.

New logwork in clubhouse

David Peterson has spliced new logs in the clubhouse wall over the fireplace. The old logs were damaged by termites. He did amazing work.

Broadmoor Lake restocked with largemouth bass and bluegill bream

On June 16, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission put 1,125 2" Largemouth Bass and 1,600 3"- Bluegill Bream in Broadmoor Lake.

Past President Jack Perciful met the truck about 1:30 and let them in to dump the fish.

Jack asked them about how long it would take these fish to be of a catchable size, and they said it depends on how much food they have.

The lake has catchable fish from previous stockings. Just take care to throw back any grass carp. They are in the lake to reduce the weeds.

Remember, fishing licenses are required, and you must be a Broadmoor resident or accompanied by a Broadmoor resident to use the park and lake.

Thanks, Jack!
