Autographed posters will be available at the Progeria booth, which Terry will operate. “There is also a good possibility one of Chip’s cars will be here this year,” says Kathie.
All of the POA Board of Directors and City Council members have been invited to be judges again this year. The Lodge will provide a barbecue that day and the bar in the Lodge will be open.

Road Project
Operations Manager Paul Johnson anticipates the Road Project from Cross Hill to Santa Maria being completed by mid-October. The work has been broken into three phases: A, B and C. Currently the contractor, International Pavement Solutions, has completed Phase A, with half a Phase B and all of Phase C left to complete.
“The Road Project is moving along well; however, we have encountered some additional areas where we have needed to over-excavate due to water issues and install additional base in order to achieve compaction,” says Paul. Once the phases are complete the contractor will cap all three phases with asphalt and then stripe.

Member Services hours
The Member Services Counter is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Show ID cards
Because the Lodge is a private facility and, therefore, has a private club license from the Alcohol Beverage Commission, the bar could lose its license if it doesn’t follow specific regulations. Because of this, all homeowners and their guests will be asked to show their POA identification cards when ordering alcoholic drinks at the Lodge. In addition, guests will not be able to order drinks without a homeowner present. This is an ABC rule.
Special events
Having a wedding reception? A family get-together? An anniversary party? Don’t forget that a typed or printed guest list of names, in alphabetical order, must be turned into the POA if you’re expecting more than six people.
Lists should be submitted at least 24 hours in advance, she reminds residents. Once received, the lists must be input into the computer and forwarded to the gates.
Faxing or taking in lists at least a day in ahead of time will take pressure off the clerks and will keep guests from being inconvenienced at the gates.
Spelling, please
Canyon Lakers are asked to be prepared to spell the last and first names of their guests when they call them in to the POA. According to Member Services Manager Ramona Burrascano, even if a person’s name is one letter off, it could mean he or she will not come up on the computer at the gate. Residents will be asked to spell out even the simplest names.
Canyon Lakers are reminded that they are responsible for their family members and guests when they are called into the community.
