[2:40] » I have wreck and lakes
>> and lakes. Okay.
[2:42] » Um, we had two members attend two
members speak on behalf of multiple uh
[2:48] members uh that are active in the tennis
community. They were concerned about uh
[2:53] rumors that uh pickle ball lines would
be painted on the tennis courts at
[2:58] Kingsdale. Uh we dispelled that rumor.
Um and I had a pleasant conversation
[3:04] with Mr. Sullivan afterwards and uh
reiterated once more that uh that rumor
[3:10] was false. Um current business uh the
2026 non-member events were approved
[3:18] well most of them uh there's uh they're
going to consider another set of events
[3:23] at their March meeting and these are all
um uh for variety of locations um in the
[3:31] POA and then the ones they're going to
consider in March are solely for
[3:35] Burksdale South staff report uh Rick
stated that refilling of Loman will
[3:42] begin the 1st of March uh and will be
contingent upon uh the water level will
[3:48] be contingent upon uh rainfall. Uh John
Irwit mentioned that the shooting range
[3:55] has had lower uh than expected
attendance uh primarily due to the
[4:00] weather. Uh Trey reported a 39% increase
in trail usage and Huntley will have a
[4:06] facelift on the downhill section. Roland
mentioned that uh a pipe burst between
[4:13] the Kingsdale pool and Tescort and is
currently under repair. Uh couple items
[4:18] that need to be uh uh some attention was
the basketball net uh at Branchwood. One
[4:24] of them needs to be fixed. Uh the water
spet at Blowing Springs at Space 56 is
[4:31] leaning to one side and probably needs
to be repaired at Lake Avalon. Uh the
[4:35] picnic area mulch under the big tree was
being worked on and should look great
[4:40] when complete. And the Metville fitness
center, the
[4:45] Octane machines mentioned last month
have been repaired and they look great.
[4:51] So those are all the comments for the
rec committee and the minutes will be
[4:55] available on our website for the lakes
committee. Uh the kids fishing derby
[5:01] will take place on May 9th. Um, and the
kayak demo day will take place the first
[5:07] Saturday in June. Uh, both of these were
voted upon by the committee. Uh, a 6
[5:12] vote. Uh, Trey mentioned that the marina
will open April 1st. Um,
[5:20] uh, grass carp a grass carp trap trout
trap, sorry, a grass carp trap in Tyrie
[5:28] Cove has been completed. Uh, and this
will help eliminate uh the grass carp.
[5:34] Um,
Rick will be picking up the remodeled
[5:38] electro fishing boat, which has actually
already taken place. Uh, the grass carp
[5:44] raffle will continue in 2026.
And that would be it for the minutes.
[5:51] Thank you, Miss Ruth. Golf.
>> Okay. Even though the committee took the
[5:56] two months, the golf department did not.
you will see they've been very busy.
[6:00] We'll start with Graham Cornme uh golf
maintenance report. The frost line is
[6:04] now discontinued and message forward
people to the POA website. The
[6:08] superintendents are making a decision
when to open following frost with their
[6:11] local conditions and temperatures in
mind and updating today's play each
[6:15] morning by 7:00. The reason for that is
not every place in the village has frost
[6:20] at the same level. So sometimes one
course can open earlier than another
[6:24] course and so it allows the individual
superintendent to make the decision and
[6:28] it seemed to be working better. They get
more tea times that way. 8 ines of snow
[6:32] in January hopefully insulate our trees,
fairways and roofs against the very cold
[6:35] temperatures with experience during the
with experience during that time period.
[6:39] Additionally, Greg made an effort to
cover Bermuda uh grass tees that have
[6:43] been previously winterkill and tarp
prior to snowfall. All Bermuda grass
[6:48] greens were covered as well and we will
wait to see it approach when the
[6:51] potential winter kill when we get to see
the spring green up. Bermuda fairways
[6:55] have been colored with turf paint and
all of them have been done at this time.
[7:00] We will begin spring pre-emergence
herbicide application for spring and
[7:03] summer weeds this month in all golf
courses. We are in the process of a
[7:07] limming trees and removing dead trees
from the properties and grinding stumps.
[7:12] Took me a while to figure out what
limming trees like. Just take the limbs
[7:16] off. We are in the process. Uh we are
spreading mulch in areas that are
[7:21] traditionally mulched and mulching new
areas of landscape around the golf
[7:25] course that have not had long st had
large stock piles of mulch from the
[7:30] summer of 2024 storm that left many
trees down. We continue to clean and
[7:36] repaint course accessories across the
golf course to get them ready for the
[7:39] golf season. the capital project up uh
update number 13, the country club where
[7:45] we had the problem with the water uh is
done. They're simply waiting for now to
[7:51] get ready for to put the grass on ry
grass on King's Woods uh failing
[7:56] drainage cover replacement chain is
installed a new cover pipe on number 11
[8:00] and 10 covers on eight and nine remain
to be replaced. Kingswood green fans of
[8:06] five greens. He's ordering the pars and
hopefully they'll be done by March.
[8:10] Nursery green and highlights. Greg just
finished installing new greens to mix
[8:13] the nursery greens in hopes of plants
and bed grass in late February and early
[8:18] March.
And the driving range at uh Scottdale,
[8:23] they have been removing all liming up
the trees and left uh left hand side of
[8:28] the teeth to provide the sunlight to the
area. and Mac Division is beginning
[8:33] reshaping the driving and uh they hope
to have the project done real soon.
[8:38] Daryl has been busy as well. January was
a strong month for golf rounds when
[8:43] courses were open largely driven by
unceasably warm temperatures early in
[8:47] the month. Later in the month, however,
we had an impact of extremely cold and
[8:50] snowfall resulting in 13 days of course
closure. The cave book book numbers
[8:56] booking numbers will be tracked on this
report. It should be noted that each
[9:00] booking represents four players at
average.
[9:04] The golf rounds were up, they ended at
5,565,
[9:09] up more than 3,5 over last January and
uh up 2,400 over last. Yeah, up 2,400
[9:18] over last January. The members, the
guest rounds ended at 1,19,
[9:23] up over 600 from last January. The cave
bookings were 114 bookings times 4 or
[9:29] more.
Range buckets ended the month at 3,123
[9:35] up from 20 thou up by 2378
over the past year. Okay, down to the
[9:41] nitty-gritty. We have some exciting
news. Dave Armstrong presented a check
[9:46] of $10,000
to the Hannah Hillier for for the
[9:50] futures cup event that was held in
October. Dave expressed the gratitude to
[9:54] Charlie Powell and Bob Ward and the
futures cup team captains and also
[9:58] acknowledged the contributions of the
golf operation staff Megan von uh Hannah
[10:03] and Daryl Maldun their and their efforts
and support this event. The Future Cup
[10:08] Academy will allocate the donations
toward the golf program high school and
[10:12] scholarships, academic ambassadors and
golf equipment for academic for academy
[10:16] students. Uh, I express appreciation for
Hannah for her outgoing and ongoing
[10:22] dedication for advancing junior golf in
Northwest Arkansas. It's a a good place
[10:26] to start. Next up, uh, the maintenance
we have online
[10:32] and committee asked about removing trees
around the golf course, potential impact
[10:38] on future play, and that's going to be
discussed further as we go along the
[10:41] year because some trees makes a big
difference on how the hole plays, some
[10:46] it doesn't. So they'll take a look at
that. Daryl Maldun announced that the
[10:50] golf expo will not be held this year due
to sub sustained decline in
[10:54] participation. Golf organizations are
encouraged to register for inclusion in
[10:59] the digital golf directory which will
also be online.
[11:05] After completing a comprehensious list
of activities for the 2012 uh events for
[11:10] 2026, Alex announced that they will have
reduce some of the high school golf
[11:15] events to allow for uh more play for
individuals.
[11:19] Guidelines regarding golf cart usage on
par three holes. It was brought to our
[11:24] attention we need to look at that. We
did Maldun know that half of the par 3es
[11:28] are too steep for safeguards off the
path cutting safety concern or sighting
[11:33] safety concerns. His research indicated
92% of golf courses require golf course
[11:37] to remain on car paths for all par 3s.
Ruth Hatcher comment that several length
[11:42] uh less steep par 3es currently permit
players with blue flags, handicap flags
[11:47] to be driven on. Graham comment that
excessive golf cart traffic
[11:52] negative impact the turf health. Several
committee members expressed concern of
[11:56] allowing golf carts on par three holes
for safety and liability issues. We
[12:00] called for a vote and it was unanimous
not to allow golf carts off the path on
[12:05] par 3es except for those with blue flags
as designated on par 3es. Um meeting was
[12:12] adjourned and we will come back in
March.
[12:16] » Questions comments
[12:21] financial
[12:34] wasn't going to come out.
[12:41] » Come on.
Did you offer that up?
[12:58] supposed to have filler.
[13:03] » Start.
[13:06] » There we go.
>> All right. Um we are here to talk about
[13:11] January uh the 20 the financial overview
for January and we're going to start
[13:17] with looking at overall which is
consolidated both POA and water uh
[13:24] overall January January's EBIDA was
30,000 and that ex was better than
[13:30] budget by 105,000
uh 27,000 lower compared to last year.
[13:36] You're going to see a theme throughout
this presentation of uh timing
[13:41] differences. It's the first month of a
new budget year, so it's really hard to
[13:46] predict when a lot of revenue or
expenses, a lot of different types will
[13:53] exactly hit during the year. Um so
there's just inherently some timing
[14:00] differences
um that's associated with that. We're
[14:04] looking at operating expenses. You'll
notice they were 168,000 better than
[14:10] budget. So 105,000
IBIDA better than budget. 168,000 of
[14:17] that is in operating expenses and that's
largely due to those timing differences
[14:22] which we'll we'll talk about as we go
forward. It was also 222,000
[14:28] worse more than uh operating expenses in
the prior year. Um a good share of that
[14:34] was uh was can be related to labor cost.
Uh we started in 2026
[14:42] acrewing labor monthly according to how
many work days there are in the month
[14:47] versus uh how many pay periods when the
pay periods hit. We've previously done
[14:52] that only annually. Um, now we're going
to do it monthly to better uh match
[14:58] revenue and expenses as each month goes.
Uh, but that will cause some periodic
[15:04] variances versus 2025 throughout the
year as we're comparing 26 to 25 on on
[15:11] labor.
[15:15] And looking at revenue overall
consolidated, it reached uh 3.08
[15:21] million. that was uh below budget by
just 47,000
[15:26] uh but better than last year by 203,000.
Um
[15:32] revenue for the water utility uh
typically um this time of year
[15:36] especially comes from an increase um in
new uh water taps which affects water
[15:43] service um connection fees and capital
buyin fees. uh that is one of those
[15:49] items that's hard to predict when that's
going to happen and also weather um
[15:54] really uh affects that as well and we
did have some uh poor weather conditions
[16:00] uh during January. So um between that
and the unpredictable timing nature um
[16:07] it led to those key revenue drivers
falling short of budget in January.
[16:13] So wrapping it all up, home consolidated
revenue again was 3.08
[16:18] million uh which was uh worse than
budget, better than prior year. Expenses
[16:25] was 2,651,000
which was better than budget um worse
[16:30] than prior year and IBIDA coming in at
30,000 which was 105,000 better than
[16:36] budget and just below prior year.
[16:42] Looking at POA only without water, um it
came in at Ebid of a negative 177,000.
[16:49] That was better than budget by 225,000.
Um and 20,000 better than prior year. Uh
[16:57] total revenue reached 2.1 million which
was better than budget by 9,000 and
[17:03] prior year by 146,000.
Uh cost of goods sold was 12,000 worse
[17:09] than budget. So between the revenue
variance and the cost of goods sold
[17:14] variance, gross margin was just 3,000 uh
difference to budget. So you'll see the
[17:21] IBIDA was 225,000 better than budget.
That was all pretty much almost all
[17:26] related to operating expenses for the
POA and that timing issue that we're
[17:31] talking about. And a lot of that is in
um repairs and maintenance, uh delivery
[17:38] of supplies that arrived earlier than
expected.
[17:42] Um health insurance, it's hard to
predict when claims are going to come
[17:46] in. Uh unused vacation acral when people
are going to take vacations. Those were
[17:52] a lot of the big bucket items of those
uh operating expense timings.
[17:57] Looking at POA uh revenue was 2,61,000
9,000 better than budget 146,000 better
[18:05] than prior year. Uh COGS as mentioned
122,000 12,000 worse of budget 3,000
[18:12] more than prior year. expenses were
2,116,000
[18:18] which was 228,000 better than budget 123
uh worse than prior year with Ibid
[18:25] coming in at negative 177,000
again 225,000 better than budget and
[18:31] 20,000 more than prior year.
[18:36] Diving into some of POA's divisions,
golf operations, um achieved 192,000
[18:43] positive IBIDA in January, which was
better than budget by 54,000. They just
[18:49] did that despite being closed 13 days
for weather. Um higher than expected uh
[18:56] in January was greens fees, cart fees,
and pro shop sales, which was 49,000 of
[19:02] that revenue above budget. Um and they
had a good warm temperatures earlier in
[19:09] the month before the the severe cold and
snow hit. So um they were they were able
[19:15] to still close the month um up from
budget. Uh in the pro shop it was
[19:20] equipment, golf balls, and club repair
that was the key contributor to pro shop
[19:25] sales in January and cost of goods sold
on the pro shop was 68%.
[19:30] Um operating expenses were just 9,000
better than budget and that was mainly
[19:35] from um hourly wages saved uh due to the
weather closures.
[19:41] Looking at the golf locations, uh the
the top performers were Kingsdale, which
[19:47] was 20,000 better than budget on Ibida.
Highlands was 16,000 better than budget.
[19:55] Metfield uh came in at 13,000 better
than budget and country club 12,000
[20:02] better than budget. And last, but still
great, uh, Tanner Creek came in at
[20:08] 10,000 better than budget and Scottsdale
4,000 better than budget.
[20:15] Turning to food and beverage, uh, food
and beverage exceeded their budgeted
[20:19] IBIDA by 16,000. Um again uh despite uh
revenue softness due to weather, the
[20:27] extreme cold and snow um affected them
as well on revenue.
[20:32] And but they did have labor savings and
operating expenses uh that were due to
[20:39] reduced hourly and part-time labor from
from closings and also um a couple
[20:45] vacancies.
and their gross margin was 23,000 worse
[20:50] than budget, but it was 9,000 better
than prior year.
[20:56] Looking at locations,
uh BV Bar and Grill uh beat their IBIDA
[21:01] budget by 10,000, Lake 6,000.
Um the total golf uh locations, Food and
[21:07] Beverage was 2,000 better than budget.
Uh, Little Sugar Beastro uh came in
[21:13] 7,000 worse than budget on their IBIDA
and Highlands Pub a thousand worse than
[21:18] budget.
Some other POA highlights uh the RV
[21:24] storage fees exceeded budget in January
by 18,000 due to member resources did a
[21:30] good push of contacting uh members early
and and followup air follow up efforts
[21:37] to bring that in. um recreation division
surpassed IBIDA by 36,000.
[21:43] Um but that was driven by expense timing
and and also labor savings. Um as I
[21:50] talked about earlier, health, dental,
and life life insurance costs were
[21:54] 25,000
uh better than budget in January. We
[21:58] expect that to potentially balance out
during the year. um one a notable
[22:03] one-time cost, street signs um were
repaired um and that was a project that
[22:09] was completed in January um with a cost
of 42,000.
[22:17] Now turning to water, uh water's ebida
was 28,000 in January. That did fall
[22:23] 120,000 short of budget. Um the IBIDA
shortfall stems from um some delayed
[22:31] water taps that impact revenue um and
also um early supply deliveries that
[22:37] impacted expenses.
Uh that budget variance was evenly split
[22:43] pretty much between the gross margin
reduction and the operating expenses.
[22:49] Um looking at the revenue variance
specifically
[22:53] new water service connections, capital
buyin fees, they fell short of budget um
[22:58] due to the unpredictable timing nature
of those and weather. Uh water sales
[23:04] were slightly below budget but they were
significantly higher than previous
[23:09] years. showing growth despite
challenges. And operating expenses were
[23:14] above budget uh due to timing
differences primarily in meter
[23:19] installation materials and equipment
delivery that came in earlier than
[23:23] expected.
[23:27] And looking at Wat's uh results for
January, uh revenue was 1,17,000
[23:33] which was 55,000 worse than budget,
57,000 better than the prior year. Cost
[23:39] of goods sold was 275,000
5,000 worse than budget and 6,000 worse
[23:44] than prior year. Expenses were 535,000
which was 60,000 worse than budget and
[23:51] 99,000 worse than prior year. and IBIDA
coming in at 28,000 which was 119,000
[23:58] worse in budget and 46,000 better than
prior year. Uh turning to cash and debt,
[24:04] the POA had 1.8 million in operating
funds and 868,000 in reserves at the end
[24:10] of the month. The water utility had 3.1
million in operating funds and 3.6
[24:16] million in reserves at the end of the
month. Um the POA H maintains a debt of
[24:22] 3.1 million to the water utility and uh
5.7 million in outstanding bank loans.
[24:31] Uh looking for expectations for the
first quarter. Um we we expect that
[24:37] volatility in in
operating expenses due to timing um and
[24:43] also revenue and and related to water
taps to continue uh in Q1. Um water taps
[24:51] also um you know recreation amenity fees
goes along with that on the POA side as
[24:56] well. Uh there was also I didn't mention
earlier um some volat some timing
[25:01] differences in membership transfer fees
that were down a little bit on the POA
[25:05] side. Uh golf and recreation activities
remain sensitive to the weather, but
[25:11] they're currently showing positive
trends. Um and management were remaining
[25:15] very focused on expense control and
responsible cash stewardship.
[25:22] Looking at the one pager uh on the left
side is the by department IBIDA
[25:27] variances to budget for the month.
You'll see that golf operations, golf
[25:32] maintenance, recreation, lakes and parks
were all the best uh big winners for the
[25:37] month. Uh going down to worse than
budget, water was uh the the one that
[25:42] was uh worse than budget by the most in
January. Um we've talked about
[25:48] everything on the right side. As always,
uh there's more detailed financial
[25:53] information that can be found at our
website at that at that address. You
[25:59] have any questions.
[26:02] » Thank you, Beth.
[26:06] » Open forum. Nobody has signed up. I got
it.
[26:09] » Thank you.
>> And no emails, correct? Okay.
[26:14] » Um next on the agenda is on February
12th GM meeting. We went into an
[26:20] executive summary uh sorry executive
session. Summary of that uh session was
[26:24] an emergency capital request country
club roof repair. In the interest of the
[26:28] quick quickening of the process for the
repair, the board of directors
[26:32] unanimously voted to approve the
emergency capital request for the
[26:35] country club roof repair and uh we're
working on scheduling that roof repair
[26:41] um which will probably require some
closure of at least portion of the
[26:46] restaurant uh and clubhouse. um maybe
all or portion and we're going to try
[26:51] and combine that with some uh window
work that we need to get done uh in the
[26:57] one dining area where the window is
loose. So, we're going to since that's
[27:01] probably going to be a an eyesore an
issue. So, we're going to try and
[27:06] combine if everything works great, we're
going to try and do both at the exact
[27:10] same time. So, thank you. Um Tom capital
project for tennis.
[27:18] » So for tennis um we included in the
budget um first of all uh the tennis um
[27:26] uh our tennis pro Kelly was successful
in uh securing three uh grants
[27:33] and uh a national grant for 20,900 a
southern grant for 8,470
[27:39] and a Arkansas grant for 500. Um we
assume that uh and this work is going to
[27:45] be uh the work we're going to do is to
fill some of the cracks and uh we just
[27:52] uh didn't realize that accounting would
have to code this as a capital project.
[27:57] So we had the grant money and then we
also had $5,000 in the operating budget.
[28:02] Um so uh but we were informed by
accounting that it would need to
[28:06] classify as a capital project. So, it's
not going to change the net cash
[28:14] position of the budget. It's an
accounting um requirement. Um should
[28:20] have caught it before, but we didn't
unfortunately. Uh but we are correcting
[28:24] it to make sure that uh when our
auditors look at it in 2027, they will
[28:30] be happy with uh that we made sure to do
it the right way.
[28:35] » Thank you.
Uh, we need a motion for this project.
[28:40] » I move that we authorize a capital
project of $34,870
[28:45] for tennis court resurfacing with the
understanding that 29,870
[28:50] will come from the grants and 5,000 from
the recreation operating budget.
[28:54] » Thank you, Jeff. Second.
>> Second,
[28:57] » Bob. Thank you. Any further conversation
on this capital project? Go ahead, Bob.
[29:02] » One question. Do we have the current
funds from the grants
[29:07] in our account or will they be coming?
>> We do the work, we show them the bill,
[29:12] then they give us the money.
>> Okay. Thank you.
[29:16] » Anything else?
All right. All in favor?
[29:22] 90.
>> Uh I want to back up real quick. um on
[29:25] the uh executive session uh the vote on
the uh the roof. You can actually see we
[29:32] included in the board packet uh the
suggested uh motion which actually
[29:37] turned out to be the actual motion that
was passed. And so uh for those viewers
[29:41] at home they can actually get a little
bit more information. We did discuss
[29:45] this at the work session uh but uh um
for those at home you can actually get a
[29:50] little bit more information in the board
packet which is available.
[29:53] » Thank y good clarification. Um uh next
item is uh credit card sir charge. If
[29:59] you recall in the uh uh fee change uh
that went through uh with the approval
[30:05] of the budget and the fee change for
2026
[30:09] uh we included some additional charges
uh for uh credit card fees. And at that
[30:15] time we were told by our software
provider TEI uh that they couldn't uh
[30:22] apply a percentagebased search charge
for transactions paid by credit cards.
[30:27] We have now been informed that they can
do this. And keep in mind that our
[30:31] credit card fees are between 800 and
900,000 a year. So it is a heavy hit to
[30:38] the POA. Um and so uh we are asking the
board uh to approve uh a uh credit card
[30:47] fee sir charge not to exceed 3% uh that
we would apply to retail transactions,
[30:55] FnB transactions, and we would spell
these out on the receipts uh so our
[31:00] customers are fully informed of what
they're paying for.
[31:05] » Thank you.
Can we get a motion to authorize
[31:10] the search charge?
>> Do you want that 3% stated in the
[31:14] motion?
[31:17] » That's probably
>> make a motion authorizing the
[31:19] implementation of a credit card
searchcharge to retail and food and
[31:23] beverage transactions not to exceed 3%.
>> Thank you, David.
[31:29] Second, Kathleen. Thank you.
>> Any more conversation, discussion on
[31:33] this one? And I was I was reading while
Tom was talking, but I do want to make
[31:37] sure that it's clear that this won't it
only is to credit card transactions, not
[31:41] debit cards or cash or anything like
that.
[31:43] » That's that is correct,
>> Deborah.
[31:47] » And we talked about this last week a
little bit, but I just want to reiterate
[31:50] for our members that were not watching.
Um, everyone is every establishment is
[31:56] hit with these charges. This is the cost
of doing business.
[32:00] It's a pretty big expense to the
business and they're not going to be
[32:03] able to absorb it. The majority of
businesses are adding this to their cost
[32:08] of goods and their operations. And so
the customer is paying this regardless.
[32:13] They're just not aware or it's not front
of mind.
[32:16] » The way we are choosing to approach this
gives our members and our guests the
[32:20] option of using their credit card or
another means of payments and it is very
[32:25] transparent.
>> Yeah, transparency. Good call out. at
[32:28] also another point in what was the
number Beth last year 700,000
[32:34] roughly in
>> closer to 800
[32:37] » closer to 800,000 that the POA paid out
in credit card processing fees
[32:45] » anybody else
>> guess there's no free
[32:49] miles
>> yeah those miles car the money comes
[32:54] from somewhere you know everybody loves
to use the mileage cards. Uh but the
[32:58] money comes from somewhere and uh the
fees continue to go up and so
[33:06] anything else. All right. All in favor?
90. Thank you. Next item on the agenda
[33:13] is the second and final vote on the
modifications to uh policy 5.05 boat
[33:19] registrations and mooring lease
agreement. want to make it clear uh that
[33:23] these changes will actually kick in in
2027, but we're making the changes now.
[33:30] Our member resources is informing people
uh of these changes. We're trying to
[33:34] give as much advanced notice as possible
so that this is not these changes are
[33:41] not a surprise to our membership next
year.
[33:46] Thank you. Can I get a motion on policy
5.05 05 change.
[33:51] » I make a motion to approve the suggested
changes to policy 5.05
[33:56] boat registration and moing lease
agreement. This is the second reading of
[34:01] two required readings.
>> Thank you, Deborah. Second, Sandy. Thank
[34:05] you. Any further discussion? We've
talked about this one quite a bit.
[34:10] » Yeah. All right. Go to vote. All in
favor? 90. Thank you.
[34:17] That brings us to the end of the agenda
other than announcements. Does anybody
[34:21] have anything else they want to discuss?
Yeah, Bob.
[34:23] » Um, I just want to compliment uh Lake
Point for their Valentine's Day uh
[34:28] dinner offering. Um,
the plate of food that was put in front
[34:32] of me was like I was at a buffet. It was
fabulously prepared. Uh, the service was
[34:38] great. The cost was reasonable. For
those that didn't uh have the
[34:43] opportunity to go, I would strongly
suggest next year you make reservations
[34:47] because it was fantastic.
>> Good deal.
[34:51] » Yeah, we went to neon lights last the
nights last night. It was it was kind of
[34:56] neat.
>> So, doing a lot of cool stuff.
[34:59] » Anything else? All right, we'll go to
announcements.
