Fall...My Favorite Season!!!

Hello everyone! I have fall fever, its my favorite season. Halloween is drawing near and the kids are all excited. I love all the bright colors of the trees...they are so pretty. Living on Lake Ronnie has made me appreciate the beauty of fall even more because the entire lake is surrounded by trees. The beauty of the lake makes it all the more beautiful. The ground is full of beautifully colored leaves. I am happy that the temperatures are cooling off as well.

I attended my first lake meeting in the Lake Ronnie clubhouse. The clubhouse is full of lots of old chairs and tables. The lake committee members sit at a large foldaway table on one side the clubhouse. The members  attending sit in old chairs, that look like they came from and old restaurant , facing the table where the lake committee members sit. The clubhouse is old and looks like it was built back in the 50's or 60's. The old wall paneling has been out of style for a long time. The meeting is very formal. The president starts the meeting to order. Then they have role call of all the lake committee members. Next they do the reading of the minutes where the secretary of the lake goes over everything that was discussed in the last meeting. Then they have the treasures report, where they go over all of the incoming and outgoing lake funds. Following the treasurers report they go over committee records, road work, loans, elect new officer,discussion re vacancy of treasurers job, when and what will be included in the next meeting, then adjournment.

The meeting took about an hour and a half. Not only are the meetings very formal, everything has to be recorded and filed at the lake as well as the county. It is very interesting.
