Our monthly Homeowner's Luncheon is tomorrow, July 1st. This is the perfect opportunity to meet our new developer, Barbara, prior to one of our most exciting weekends of the year. We'll also be announcing an exciting new addition to our activities program that outdoor enthusiasts won't want to miss. Can’t be there in person? Join us on Zoom (meeting ID: 361 350 9732). 

As noted in previous weeks, bears have been increasingly active around property this summer. Please continue to stay vigilant, lock your trash bins, and refrain from leaving any food outside or in your vehicles unattended. As we continue to emphasize the importance of all our bear safety precautions, check out some of these important Bear Safety Tips from BearWise.

Here are some of the highlights of our upcoming 4th of July festivities!

4th of July Festival - July 3rd
