Ice Out-The Rosemount Ice Arena will have the ice out for maintenance from Monday,May 9 until Sunday,
June 12.
Garden Plots -We received 68 applications for garden plots this year. Since our goal was to accommodate
as ma,ny gardeners as possible,we asked all the applicants to list more than one choice for location and
plot size. In the end,41 applicants were assigned their first choice,25 theix second choice,and only 2 had
to be satisfied with their third choice. Even though the weather has been nice we will wait a little while to
have the plots tilled so they do not become overgrown with weeds before the gardeners can get into them,
as they did last season.
Batting Cage -The batting cage netting has been hung on the recendy repaired batting cage at Jaycee
Park. Work will soon resume at Ailesbury (formerly Prestwick) Park. Letters have been sent to
homeowners along the southeast end of the park asking them to look at the planting plan and to get back
to us if they have any comments about tree pla,cement. Work is expected to begin again by the end of
April.

need to choose a chairperson and vice chairperson. Both positions will serve one yeax terms.
