Progressive Cornhole (click to sign up)
Saturday, January 20th, 2024, 12pm at NCL
Calling all cornhole players and any beginners. 
We are going to have a progressive cornhole tournament with the women and men being separate. That also depends on if we get enough of each to sign up and if not we’ll throw everyone together. This tournament will consist of different lots hosting. We will begin at the friendship hall in back at noon and will draw for lots and partners. After each game we’ll all go back to the friendship hall and redraw. This will happen after every game. We will all be using the bags and boards that are on the host lots. We are also looking for host lots and extra boards and bags. With that being said keep in mind that the lots have to be fairly level. I will also be checking out any boards and bag’s being donated for the tournament so as everything can be as fair as possible. Remember that this is a fun tournament for all beginners and good players. We will be charging $5 a person and depending on how many entries we get will depend on prize money. So let’s have fun this winter and enjoy being with all our friends in the park.

The agenda includes reviewing our current status and developing a game plan for:
   1.   Status - growth/frost, mulch refreshed, schedule cutting ornamental grass, breaking up fast growers
   2.   Replacing distressed or missing plants in the silver thorn hedge on the north side of the front entrance
   3.   Refreshing the front entrance sign using donated funds as approved by owners in March '23
   4.   Working with management to develop maintenance checklists
   5.   Short Term: Reviewing existing landscape of park property and flagging areas for improvement such as area around pool, entrance boulevard, area around the pavilion
   6.   Long Term: Work on a longer term vision for the park - use of common areas,  turf vs stone, lighting, additional facilities, what does a "Resort" mean ??
