NEW VIRTUAL OFFICE As many of you have probably noticed, the office is not always being ‘manned’ during our open hours. Please feel free to call/text the park cell if you should need us and we are not in the office - we are happy to swing back to the office and help you in any way we can.

GRASS CLIPPINGS Just a quick reminder that grass clippings are NOT to go into the garbage bins - please toss them over the ridge, sans garbage bag, of course. Decomposing grass clippings, branches etc will work to help stabilize the embankment, and limit further erosion. Office Hours:

Monday-Thursday: 10 am-4pm Friday: 10 am - 6 pm Saturday: 10 am - 4 pm Sunday: 10 am - 2 pm

VISITORS We love having your guests share time in the park - please remember to let us know when friends/family are here so we are aware. The office needs to know about all visiting pets as well. If guests are staying overnight, there is a $5/guest/night fee. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

August - did you know that August is the seasonal equivalent of February in the Northern Hemisphere, has 31 days, and can also mean respected or impressive?

Horseshoe Pits Did you know that we have horseshoe pits? Located in the green space behind the West Wash-house, there are pits and shoes all set up and ready to go - all that is missing is the players! It’s a great way to pass the afternoon.

Suggested Activities

Tornado watches are not uncommon in this area…it is important to be prepared:

‣ Monitor the Weather Network for updates ‣ GO IMMEDIATELY when a TORNADO WARNING is issues

‣ Know where to go for shelter; remember, Mountain View County DOES NOT have an emergency shelter in place right now. Even though there is no emergency shelter in the region, Environment Canada suggest you do NOT stay in your trailer. If time allows, get in your vehicle and drive in the opposite direction of the tornado.

‣ Remove lawn furniture and other objects from your yard that could become projectiles to an inside location - again, only if time allows

‣ Bring your pets, if allowed, in a carrier ‣ Grab only essentials (purse, ID, cash) and only if easily accessible

‣ Don’t waste time searching for anything ‣ Wherever you find shelter stay away from windows

Mark Your Calendars - you won’t want to miss our final event!

Wind Up Dinner Join us for an evening of great food, fun, and reminiscing as we wind up the season. The date is Sept 9th at the Sundre Legion. Doors open at 4:00, with the cocktail hour starting at 4:30 followed by the supper at 5:30. The event provides a great opportunity to remember the funs times from the season, and say ‘see you next season’ to your neighbours. Tickets are available at the office, and will go on sale August 12th.

Classified Looking to Buy something? Then you will want to check out the bulletin board across from the garbage bins. Here you’ll find various various items being offered by your Rosewood neighbours. And don’t forget to check back frequently as the items posted move quickly.

Looking to Sell something? Make up as small (8.5x11) poster/typed advertisement and bring it to the office - we’ll be happy to post it on our community bulletin board for you. As a heads-up, the park is moving away from having private ‘For Sale’ signs posted on the individual sites. If you presently have a ‘For Sale’ sign on your site, we ask that you take it down. If the target buyer for your item is a Rosewood neighbour, then the best place to advertise is on the bulletin board. If the target buyer is from outside the park, we suggest posting the item on an on-line marketing site (ie Kijiji, Craigslist, LetGo) as we have no drive-by traffic in the park, and your item will not be getting the exposure it needs.

Sports The 2017 Nine and Dine Golf Tournament was a huge hit again! A loud ‘golf clap’ to

Jim and Charlie for all their hard work in organizing the event.

“Charlie and I (Jim) would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the golf tournament as well as all the dinner guests. Without your participation, it would not have been such a large success.

As well, to the folks that generously donated prizes for the tournament, a great and hearty Thank-You! They are the following: Mike and Joan Weatherbee, Tressa Eidsness, Lina Code, Dave and lInda Sloane, Tom and Cathy Leteta, Brian and Judy Jassman, and Karen and Tim Sabo.

Also a huge shout-out to Gord Nelson for taking pictures and capturing the finer moments with the winners, and to Jim and Delores Bolin, for the engraving of all the trophies.

We hope to see everyone again next year. We do not have a date set, but will keep you informed when we do. Again, we hope everyone had a great time!

Till we see you again - have a great summer!
