I want to thank this Board and DH Management for allowing me to uncover the beauty of our community.  Many Treasures have been found along the way.  Huge boulders that were put in place years ago were covered over by neglect and overgrowth.  Memorial plaques discovered – one dated back to 1995 was found on a giant boulder under a Japanese Maple located at #10 T-box area.

Mike Wynn recommends the purchase / lease of an appropriate lawn mower for the Club House.  Eddie’s crew has been using a “rough mower”.  Mike has been using his private lawn mower for the Club House and Memorial Gardens.  A proper mower is needed to reach the hill side areas.

Jerry Wright recommends maintaining the drainage ditches along the road-ways to protect the roads from water seeping under the edges – causing erosion.   

Respectfully submitted,
Diane Porterfield, Board Liaison
