Pool Work Day

Here are some photos from our pool work day a couple of weeks ago. Lots of volunteers showed up on a nice Saturday morning to put the pool cover on.

Enjoy the Walking Path

The walking path around Broadmoor Lake has gotten a bit easier to navigate. Last week, we had a lot of the overgrowth cleared. Enjoy a stroll now that the weather has cooled off.
