20 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | SEPTEMBER 2016 Bistro Committee The Bistro Committee met on July 27. We had one guest and six applicants present. Brian from Smitty's was also present. The new deli-case has been installed and the Smitty's staff is very pleased with the look and the efficiency of the new case. One of the kitchen consultants met with Brian and reviewed the kitchen, dining room and counter space and will provide a plan within the next week. Brian was pleased with all of their ideas and is anxious to work with them. A meeting is planned between the Board, the Bistro chairperson and co-chair and the staff of the salon to discuss the possibility of the Bistro Committee overseeing both the Bistro and the salon. New business consisted of proposing a second parking space for Smitty's, so their golf cart would be able to stay close to the kitchen door, but not blocking the parking lot. This proposal will be submitted to the board. Ann Blair was named co-chair of the Bistro Committee. I have prepared a proposal and submitted it to the Board for revising the New Homeowner Meet & Greet. Our committee would like to shorten the program, request each committee to be represented and tell about their committee. Each representative would sit at a table with the new residents. This would aid in answering questions and talking about our community. As always we welcome guests and love new ideas and ways to help Smitty's to be even better! Please join us on our new day — the fourth Wednesday of each month — at 11 am in the conference room in the RCN building. ~ Jill Anderson We met on July 26.

Eight vendor proposals were reviewed with seven recommended for board approval. Five homeowners and Board Liaison, Claudeen Diaz, were present as guests. One opening exists on the committee with two applications in process. Our next regular scheduled meeting will be Sept. 27 at 1 pm. All homeowners are invited to attend. ~ Don Fant Finance Committee Proposed wording will be submitted to the board regarding the dance club's suggestion of allowing non-residents participation in their club. This new ruling will allow a single woman or man to invite an adult guest to act as their dance partner. Pool guidelines: Unless your grandchild is potty trained, they are not allowed in the pool. Specialty swim diapers are NOT an option. Grandchildren must be accompanied by the resident, ratio, one adult for every three children. Lodge pool hours for grandchildren are 1 to 4 pm, seven days a week. No child is allowed within the fence that surrounds the pool until 1 pm. At 3:50 pm you need to gather the children, dry off and leave the pool area by 4 pm. If a child needs to use the restroom, resident must accompany the child. To avoid a disappointed child, leave the pool toys at home as they are not permitted. Four Seasons has two garage sales a year. However, if a resident passes and the family needs to liquidate household items, an estate sale is permitted by appointment only. Like any invited guest, leave the name of the person with the gate attendant. Signs/flyers advertising an estate sale are not permitted. Review of trail usage was discussed and new wording will be submitted to the board for their approval. Page 35 of Community Guidelines, item 3 will now read: The use of motorized vehicles, bicycles and conveyances with wheels is prohibited on the trails EXCEPT MOBILITY DEVICES OPERATED BY DISABLED RESIDENTS AND THEIR GUESTS. This decision was based on the advice of Phillip Kaplan, Access Specialist. Mr. Kaplan, handicapped himself, tested all trails for width, inclines and safety issues. Rules & Regulations Committee meets the second Tuesday of each month at 9 am in the Conference Room and all residents are invited to attend the meeting. ~ Barbara Miller Rules & Regulations committee
