With the most recent snow fall and snow that will continued to fall today. Roads in the area are snow covered and icy due to blowing snow. Be prepared for the unexpected and bring along extra warm clothing to stay safe in the event you become stranded.

A very special moment for one of our members yesterday. What a great way to pop the question. Congrats to these two.

With the frigid temperatures these days we would like to remind residents to use space heaters safely.
