[Board] Message to Members: Housekeeping and Sanitation

[PETER DAWSON]

Roger,
This is a great note.   I can recall Art Dione writing a similar letter 3 years ago in August, after finally getting sick of the mess people left behind.  Rose and I were horrified.
We watched as a group of young members set an entire round table on the deck with our china and glasses (and silverware) two years ago.  They then left, and a wind came up.
The entire table tipped over, and everything on it came crashing down onto the deck smashing all of the glasses and china.  The club members were long gone.
Rose, Gerry Gully, and I cleaned up the entire mess.
You need to put a group of signs around the club and in the kitchen:
Please leave the entire area you are using "just as you found it."  Also, "Smile, you're on camera with all club activities being recorded."
his will get immediate attention.
I have similar cameras all over my property(s) (2 houses, and a yacht in Meredith).
Enjoy your holiday weekend
