Spring in the Village is an interesting time. One day you are golfing and the next wak-ing to snow-covered fairways. Makes me hum the beginning of the Dinah Washing-ton song "What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours...". It's wonderful to see flow-ers coming out of their winter slumber and the course greening up, yet hearing the daily mowers always make me cringe a little knowing my mornings will become earlier and earlier as the season moves into full swing (pun intended). I am a lot of things, but I will never be accused of being a morning person. For those of you who have just returned, welcome home. For those en route, I wish you safe travels and look forward to seeing you soon. The Board will resume our nor-mal meeting schedule beginning with the workshop on Monday April 11th at 6pm. followed by the Business meeting on the 19th at 6pm. We encourage you to attend and welcome your participation. Thank you to those that responded to my questions in last month's column. We still

need to hear from more of you regarding your thoughts for improving our community. To be successful in 5, 10, 20+ years, we must improve, not just maintain. While some of us may only believe our golf course is an amenity of living in the Village, in reality it is a multi-million dollar corpora-tion that needs to increase its income opportunities. This is the only way to en-sure our dues stay low and the potential of additional amenities may be added. For your April act of good neighboring challenge, the Highway 41 cleanup will be on Saturday, April 30th. This is a great opportunity to pitch in and pitch the rubbish keeping the entrance to our Village and surrounding area attractive. Sign-up sheets will be in the pro shop or you can call or email me. Lunch will follow at my house. It only takes about an hour and the sense of accomplishment will last far beyond. I look forward to seeing you there.

APRIL—2016—NEWSLETTER President’s Message

Sara Thweatt President

“The first thing golf teaches is humility, the second; empathy, and the third patience.”

—Kris E Wilson

2016 APRIL NEWSLETTER

It is officially golf season. A bit on the cool side for some, but that will change quickly. It is also officially, “Get some new golfers to visit TLV” as well, plus get past visitors back to play. The staff is busy reaching out to groups and individuals to have them discover what a great golf course we have here. We could use some of our members help in getting $5.00-off coupons distributed to those you meet. These coupons are aimed at people you bump into in your local travels. They are perfect to hand to your dentist, doctor, banker, or just anyone you happen to cross paths with in your daily adventures. Invite them out to discover your fantastic

golf course. These coupons are available in the Administration Office. For those who visit you or are staying with you, there is even a better deal. If you are playing with your guests, did you know that your guest pay and play 18 holes for $28. That’s an $8 discount. So you have a couple options to treat guests. And remember, TLV members receive an automatic 10% discount on golf shop merchandise. New items have arrived and more are on the way. So don’t wait, get some great new stuff to start the season. Happy Spring.
