It's Labor Day Weekend. Pool Season Ends

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September, that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. It was first nationally recognized in 1894 to placate unionists following the Pullman Strike. With the decline in union membership, the holiday is generally viewed as a time for barbeques and the end of summer vacations.
IMG_0191
Labor Day weekend also marks the final 3 days (Saturday 8-31, Sunday 9-1, & Monday 9-2) of our 2013 Pool Season. So come and enjoy the Pool for the last time this year. And once again, Thanks to all the
Lifeguards for their service this season. Read More...

Victoria Averts Potential Disaster

IMG_0048
Now here is a story that has come to our attention that is worth telling the community about. A couple of weeks ago four girls were in a boat on the lake. For some reason their boat started taking on some water. The four girls started panicking. On the beach was one of our Lifeguards Victoria. Keeping a cool head she immediately got into one of our boats and headed toward the girls. Once she got to them she calmly took two of the girls into her boat and then proceeded to tow the girls boat with the two remaining girls back to safety. I guess that puts Victoria in the Hero category!

Thank you Victoria for the great job.

Let's All Say Thanks To Ruth!

IMG_0040
As most of you know by now, Ruth is leaving the Pocono Mountain Water Forest Community towards the end of this month. She has been part of the staff for approximately the past three years. During that time she has shown deep love and compassion for the community and its residents. She is a lady that truly cares about what goes on here, and she will surely be missed by the community. She also ran the office in a courteous and professional manner, and at the same time gave all that came to her the feeling that here was a friend that they could talk to and depend on. Ruth, we would like to thank you for the service and dedication that you have given to the Pocono Mountain Water Forest community. We will all miss you. We would also like to wish you the very best in the future with any endeavors you might undertake.
Send your "blogs" to the "
Webmaster" to say thanks to Ruth.

The board is addressing all the problems & concerns of the community. One of the problems that faces this community is the non payment of community dues.

We would still like to see more Community Members come to our monthly meetings. They are the 3rd Sunday of every month. Please come and get involved. It's your Community. Be a part of making it better. At the same time get to know your neighbors better and maybe meet some new ones!
