WANTED!!
Property owners to serve on CLV committees. The Board is pleading for owners to step up and get their feet wet by serving on a Committee. A special request this month is for additional volunteers to serve on the Rules & Regulations Committee. Susan Loucka, the Chairperson, says this committee is one that values "common sense" ideas in regards to Village issues. What a fantastic means to obtain a free education as to how your association governs the use of property in the Village.
BACK GATE
Owners may now use your gate cards at the rear gate. Please contact the Christmas Lake office if you encounter any problems.
Chipping Completed
It's fall and the Maintenance staff has officially closed "chipping" season at Christmas Lake Village for the property owners' brush in 2011.
Dan Lautner, the Head of CLV Maintenance, reported that the only "glitch" in his plans was that his crew preferred the piles to be shorter and spread out over a longer stretch of the owner's road frontage. He preferred longer branches as opposed to shorter. Always leave an 8' long branch in lieu of cutting the branch in half. Amazingly, they can chip branches up to 6" in diameter.
"The chipping service is a process, meaning that the crew, with the chipping machine in tow, travels the streets of Christmas Lake Village in search of neatly stacked piles of tree branches. This was done over a 2 week time period, and they visited each subdivision twice.
Next year, the service will once again begin in the middle of October.

CLV Garden Club Looks to Increase Membership
Pretty soon you won’t be seeing CLV Garden Club members watering the flowers in Memorial Garden, right inside the front gate. They haven’t gone on strike; they have made a significant improvement that will increase the beauty of the garden and the efficiency of watering.
The Garden Club has added an underground sprinkler system that will help maintain the beauty of the garden. This will also reduce the burden of club members having to daily water the garden throughout the summer months.
“It’s going to cost a couple thousand dollars,” said club president Ann Vogel. Though the benefit received will outweigh the costs.
The Garden Club will be touring some area gardens in the next couple months. On June 20th, they will be traveling to Brubeck Gardens in Evansville. Then on July 18th they will be going to the Schroeder Daylily Gardens in Evansville. On August 15th Becky Lutz will present a program on shade gardens.
The club is always open to new members. If you are new in the area and would like to become a part of garden club, please contact Donna Ramholz at 544-3311.
Red Hats Concentrate on Enjoying Life
The CLV Red Hats are staying busy this summer.
The Reigning Dears club, led by Queen Merry Riggle, recently donated teddy bears to the Santa Claus police department so the officers could have them on hand in case of encountering children while on the job. On June 6th they will meet at Riggle Ridge for a potluck brunch in order to plan out future activities.
June 23rd will be Red Hat night at the Schnitzelbank in Jasper to celebrate the Ferdinand Red Hat Society’s anniversary. Around 132 women are expected to attend. The Lincoln Amphitheatre will be having Red Hat night on July 16th for the performance of South Pacific. The Reigning Dears club will also be celebrating their second anniversary at Ellis Park on August 18th.
Queen Lois Martin’s group is always open to new members. They meet the third Thursday of each month. June 16th they will be going to breakfast in Ferdinand.
Local chapters meet monthly for lunch and activities. Anyone wanting to join in on the fun of Red Hats should contact either Lois Martin at 544-2879 or Merry Riggle at 544-3362.
CLV Tennis Leagues
It’s time to dust off your tennis racquet and get playing.
The CLV Women’s tennis league is looking for any women wanting to enjoy weekly tennis.
The women play every Wednesday night from 6:30 until 8:00 p.m. on the CLV tennis courts in Holly Park.
The tennis league is looking for both those willing to commit to playing weekly and also those willing to substitute when needed.
If you are interested in playing regularly or substituting, please call either Mary Sue Johnson at 544-2554 or Carol Burnette at 544-2077.
Digital Photographs of previous "Festival of Lights" displays. The Christmas Lake Village Staff is in desperate need of these pictures to include in an article for the December 2011 Newsletter.
We're confident that there has been so many excellent displays in previous years, that someone may have taken a digital photograph. If so, please contact the office and make a copy of your digital photo so that me may consider it for use in the upcoming Santa's Letter.
