rants con't

place is a shambles -- good complaint -- weeds everywhere, rusting trailers on lots, tarps on trailers, and on and on --- people behind and not paying their dues -- well it's all connected -- if they are required to clean and maintain their property they are more likely to pay dues since they get the idea that they will be pursued if they get behind on these smaller responsibilities-- enforcement of these housekeeping rules might actually lead to more timely payment of dues-- it's jus like kids or dogs -- the more they do and get away with== the more they escalate their misbehavior -- soon you have no control and your wondering why this could happen?????????

la has a full time manager -- what is the responsibilities of this position -- is there a job description for this position -- from the looks of things it must be quite brief -- all of the above mentioned problems and the scheduling of the roof job resulting in the closing of the club house during the busy aug season, sloppy clean up after the job, and the list could go on and on -- but bottom line is these are the management responsibilities -- the bod needs to look at these problems== email thoughts to : LACHIPPER@GMAIL.COM

bod meeting rants

another rant -- complaint regarding mini golf had some merits -- it is a mini golf coarse that was built around 1960 and hasn't been touched or updated since then --it is in the broiling sun and has about much appeal as a pike county rock -- this thing should be either updated or free -- it's not worth $2.50 per play ==

also another point is that there are few things that attractive to kids or teens at la -- the 1960 pool concept jus doesn't do it -- jus about every1 has a pool in their back yard -- and why come here?? the activities here at la should reflect what people do today -- try mountain biking, rock climbing, skateboading, 4 wheelin, bike racing and other activities that have broader appeal -- yes i know that this sends shivers up the spines of the few old goats that complain about everything -- well that's 2 bad -- if la doesn't become relevant to families it will be become irrelevant for all but a few -- who in most cases do nothing to make la attractive and place of destination for every1 -- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hot

all week the rain was here ---- NOW HEAT -- what is this??? high humidity which is almost never here at la arrived today -- that's it from now on the weather must get better for the coming holiday weekend -- oh well

waiting to exhale!

more bod rants

management procedures are questionable!

--bid -- roof bids should have been put out -- emergency repairs could have been done while the bid process was executed -- just poor fiscal management-- do the bod members do this with their own finances - i doubt it -- yes contractor should have cleaned up after the job --
--maintenace departments do very important and good work -- the individuals in these groups generally take pride in what they do-- if there are complaints regarding how this group operates then i think it probably a lack of management and supervisory oversight -- don't blame the workers for management's short comings
--and---

more later -- you got any comments -- i like to hear from you

bod rants

thoughts about the bod meeting saturday:
--how about gettin a new or better sound system-- ridiculous! -
--25% members not up to date with dues?? that means that 1 out of 4 not paying their way - the rest of us must make up their share -- need to expedite collection of delinquent dues -- perhaps like many governments the suggestion that a collection agency be used may have benefits-- la employees may not be the best way to manage this problem-
--properties are not being maintained by owners-- true -- la management needs to get a little tough on this matter--place is beginning to look shabby-maintenance dept. could be sent to clean up and cut weeds with the cost billed to property owners-if owners get away with these things they will continue being a problem all the way around== not fair to the rest of the community
--more to follow ---

what's your thoughts???

la dolphins

well i agree that the dolphins need to be congratulated-- but i have a question???????????? are the dolphins a seal hunting group, whale watching group or an advocacy group for people who eat sardines??? help

hi

thanks 4 inviting me to join your blog as a contributor -- will be uplater tonite -- will send something tom'w

hello

heading up

up upp uppp hopefully with sunny and warm weather -- rain and cold today so i'm ready for sat and sun -- forecast looks good - we'll see---

la day

well the weekend for la days sure looked like a winner-- but on reflection i must say that the many volunteers that help put this affair together should be congratulated-- they gave their time and effort to allow the rest of the members to enjoy this affair-- it was a large group of people for security functions, activity facilitators and monitors, club house guides and assistants, ground crews and the maintenance department, life guards, association board members, and then there are those that have surely missed mentioning -- nice job -- thank you

more quiet

yes today was another fine day at la -- crowds way down from the weekend -- pool was nice and refreshing -- new roof goin on the club house -- bigggg roof - wow

quiet

monday --- quiet--real quiet - where did evey1 go -- nice pleasant day though--well went to matamoosa or something like that [-- diner down the street from walmart was pretty good - sort of a surprise-- enuf 4 2nite

weekend

2 == that is 2 great days in la -- was really nice and pleasant == sat was eventful with the sand art, spin art and the tattoo art -- the kids had a blast -- activities were outstanding for the little kids-- well maybe the tattoo thing was more suited for teens - next year the real thing could be offered -- well that might be too much?????????????? but you know it would be interesting if the committee could think about perhaps mountain bike paths, skateboard park, 4 wheeler paths or areas -- these would be things that older kids would enjoy and yes some families have older kids -- even adults would enjoy some of these activities -- natures paths and even some guided tours could be arranged with local arborists who could enlighten us on the local trees and shrubs and etc -- instead of everything aimed for 1 weekend it could be on ongoing schedule thru out the summer -- well jus some thoughts -- any1 else got any

awesome

crowds, food, sun, fireworks -- what a great day at la --everyone seemed to be having a great time == where are all these people the rest of the summer -- hope they come back more frequently - it was nice to see them all enjoying themselves -- good job done by all

wow

bang, boom, rain and wind along with very high humidity what a day - everything you could do without--well that's it tomorrow will be perfect for la day -- have fun and enjoy the festivities and the fireworks -- chipper
