Euclid���s employee and long time staff member at the Lodge, Frances Farrar, who handled many of the administrative tasks and oversight of the architectural process, has retired. We will miss her!

Lodge staff member Mari Salazar has taken over the architectural duties and will assist homeowners with their questions and application submittals. Activities Director Corner By Cindy Graves I suppose that March will come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, judging by the blowing snow I���m looking at out my office window right now. If you���re on the prowl for fun activities around the Lodge at the beginning of the month don���t forget the Light-Hearted Piano Concert on March 1, at 6 pm in the Ballroom followed by Magic Night in our Movie Theater on the evening of Saturday, March 2, and then Mardi Gras the next weekend of Saturday, March 9. The end of the month will have tons of club gatherings, like Toastmasters and Discovery Club on Wednesday, March 20, and Karaoke on Saturday, March 23. I hope everyone has a meaningful and enjoyable Passover and Easter and then are ready for the absolutely awesome April activities starting with Readers��� Theater on Friday, April 5 at 6 pm in the Ballroom (there is no cost to enjoy the show), and then Corks, Clicks and Canvases on April 18, at 4 pm (I���ll give you more detailed information on this next month.). Finally, the HOA Garage Sale will be held at the Lodge parking lot or at your individual homes on Saturday, April 27. Mark on your calendars that the sign-ups for the Garage Sale start on Tuesday, March 12, and the last day to sign up will be Wednesday, April 24. We���re going to have two great months coming up, so I look forward to seeing a lot more of you around the Lodge!
