Well, what do you think? I'm pretty pleased with the final look, even though it took forever and a day to accomplish. At the pool party (held at the beach, naturally), the committee was recognized for their work. They all contributed to making it come true, after about a year of being closed while a prior board "dithered", then a second year when unknown debris was discovered halfway to China (who knew they built the original on a landfill of tree stumps and trunks), then the debacle of firing the incompetent suggested by the former management company, and finally a new General Contractor selected and a neighborhood committee being formed to spearhead completion. I assign a lot of the credit to the guy shown kneeling, who was here all year while few on the board were in residence. Sheer will seemed to be his forte, and he also was involved in the clearing of over ten years of unrestrained growth in the "park" which surrounds the pool itself. The fellow standing behind him was the key man for "finding" the sun shade concept which is in a word "wonderful" since it's hurricane rated and unlike individual umbrellas impervious to wind or people dragging stuff around.
The tall gentleman to his left is the new Vice President of the Board, re-elected this year and expected to be President next year when the current leader retires, thus making a complete turnover of personnel after three years. This great facility is a fitting tribute to our new subdivision leadership - five guys who give a damn and now including at least one full time resident. The park area will soon have an engineer prepare a complete layout, which will allow us to permit a curb cut for emergency vehicles and parking, storage facilities, and an enclosure of various irrigation and electrical transformers. As Colonel Hannibal Smith of "A-Team" fame would say, "I love it when a plan comes together".
