Summer is around the corner and the pool is ready for your enjoyment.

Pursuant to the Board of Health requirements. all semi-public pool operators MUST test the pool water four (4) times a day and record the test results in a logbook.

The BOH ofticials have the right to inspect the logbook at any time and to shut down the pool for any non-compliance. Depending on the severity of the infraction, the pool shutdown could be as short as a day or for as long as the remainder of the pool season.

The testing process is very simple and takes less than five (5) minutes to complete. Furthermore. one of the Trustees will be happy to go over the procedures with you. There are no requirements as to what time of the day each test should be performed.

To that end, we need volunteers to help us test the pool water and record it in the logbook. You can volunteer for the entire season or for a portion of the summer. You can volunteer for the morning session before going to work or the evening session after you get home. Altematively. if you are home during the day. you may want to volunteer for the mid-day testing.

If you are interested, please call Alpine and let us know.

The following is a financial summary through the end of April from April 1, 2007:

Are any residents interested in starting a compost bin? If so, please contact Bonnie Arky.

Is there any interest in creating an area within Drummer Farms for vegetable gardens? One possible location might be in the underutilized land near the tennis courts. Interested gardeners would be expected to pay all set-up expenses - such as for tilling, fences, and getting access to water. If you would like to explore this. please contact Jeff Bonvallat.

We would like to hear if you have any preferred vendors (plumbers, chimney sweeps, carpet cleaners, maid service. etc) that you could recommend to your neighbors. This information can be posted on the drummerfarms.com website and be a helpful resource for all of us. Please contact Andy Funk.

The Drummer Farms Volunteers recently pulled up the ineffective termite sticks (the green ones with orange pop-up buttons). Some of these escaped notice because they were covered by mulch. If you uncover one, feel tree to pull it up and discard it. Also, if you would like to be added to the list of volunteers. contact Jeff Bonvallat.

That's the news from Drummer Farms.
