SNOWY SCENERY

Took a ride on the lake today to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Some of my Florida friends called to laugh and make fun! They don't know what they're missing. It's breath-taking!

BLIZZARD OF 2012

December 26th, 2012 brought the Blizzard of 2012! Approximately one foot of snow piled up in 6 or 7 hours. The snow was very wet giving the snow plows a serious challenge. The Conservancy road crew kept the main roads open during the blizzard and by 6:00 the main roads were spotless and the many of the side roads had been plowed. Pictured is Anthony Hawood working on Aspen Drive.

GEORGENE SETTLES

Friends and neighbors in the Conservancy are saddened of the passing of Georgene Settles on December 21st. Georgene and her decesed husband Buz were "givers" being very active volunteers over the years. Georgene was responsible for expanding the local library and reading programs in addition to being president of the local Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owners Association. A memorial service is scheduled for January 12th, 2013.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy Holidays from Dave and Iris.

BOAT RAMPS ON HOLD

The ecology commission and the building commission both reviewed and recommended a contract be let for the construction of a new boat ramp on Sweetwater Lake and the repair of the boat ramp on Cordry Lake. After closer review, the CSCD Board of Directors have decided to re-investigate the specifications and information before letting the contract out for bids. Hopefully, construction can be done early this spring.
