April 12, 2012 regarding this annual meeting. Board members present included President Bill Partridge, Carol Hammons,
Mickey Schonhoft, Denny Martin and Dieter Moeller. Property Manager Scott Losekamp representing Town Properties was

All of this would not have been possible without the hard work

the brick to match the clubhouse, Ken Natorp designed the
landscaping, Tim Sendelbach designed the concessions and bar

This summer on July 13th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, the Goddard School on 754 Reading Road in Mason will be holding their 14th Annual Summer Carnival to benefit the Dragonfly Foundation. This foundation was founded for an all-important purpose: to bring com- fort and joy to kids and young adults being treated for cancer and blood diseases. What a wonderful way to spend a summer night by helping those in need! By participating in the carnival, you will be helping the Dragonfly Foundation create special events and memorable moments for fami- lies, implement the “I Am Still Me” Hair Loss Program, help fulfill children’s hospital “wish lists,” and much more! Your participation truly makes a difference in the lives of others. Plus, the carnival itself will be a blast! Food, games, raffles, a dunking booth, and a “bounce house” all make the night fun for all! Be sure to come out with your family and have a great time!
