Each year, in January, the Association holds its Annual Election and Meeting, at which time a slate of officers and board members is elected to serve as a Board of Directors to guide the activities of the group and to maintain the clubhouse premises.   Swimming is extremely popular to our members during summer months, and they bring their families in to enjoy the patio-furnished 1/4 Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Other member activities might include potlucks, card parties, pancake breakfasts, dinners for special occasions, fundraisers of one sort or another, and movie & game nights.
