Boating & Fishing Club-Carl Shaver-There has been a problem with using the projector and television in the Paradise Bay Rec Hall. The electrician said the HDMI connections are bad in the floor. Also, the DVD player is an old style. The electrician recommended we get a Blu-ray player with HDMI and USB connectors. Carl did some research on what Blu-ray player would work.

Historical Committee-Brenda Ocenasek-We have been sorting the pictures we have. A lot of them don’t have any information on them. We thought we would set them out so people could give us the details about them. We started having interview sheets filled out by residents that have been here for at least 15 years; now we are having residents that have been here less than 15 years fill them out. We still would like more pictures, even current ones, because eventually they will be part of our history. We are working on our new booklet from 1994 to present.
