POOL NEWS
The Pool Committee election results are as follows:

Chairperson: Donna Keys
Vice-Chairperson: Bonnie High
Secretary/Treasurer: Karen Loque

The committee thanks these ladies for volunteering their time and efforts. And a HUGE thank you to Kathy Sheehy for all of her years of service. She will remain on the committee and continue to volunteer her time, as well as Roz Mansouri and Jonette Stupke. If you are interested in joining this energetic group, please call the Visitor Center and speak with Kelly Blundell or come to the next pool meeting on February 4, 2002. All meetings are held the first Monday of the month in the Visitor Center at 7:00pm.

Swim lessons will be held at the pool again this year for any resident interested in learning to swim. Please sign up at the visitor center. The Century Pool coordinator will call you prior to the start of the lessons.

The Board of Directors have approved a pool pass system that will allow residents to have a permanent pool pass. The passes will look just like a credit card and will continue to be collected at the gate upon entering. In order to make the children's passes permanent PMP is in need of every child's birth date. Please look for an upcoming postcard stamped "Pool Pass Information." If this is not filled out and returned with your children's birth date, we will not be able to print your pool pass. Don't forget you must be current on your association dues or you will not be allowed access to the pool.

SOMEONE'S LURKING AROUND AND IT'S NOT CUPID
As we walk through our neighborhood, we are able to see it is nice and quiet. We meet and greet wonderful people who are warm and friendly. It is easy to feel a sense of security so we become relaxed. Often our car doors and garages are left open at night. Please remember that there have been unpleasant incidents regarding vandalism to a few homes and vehicles in Spring Ridge. As neighbors who watch out for each other, we can stop unpleasant incidents before they occur. Please report any illegal suspicious activities to your local police.

GREAT DECISIONS
Want to beat the February - March doldrums and meet an interesting group of your neighbors? Curious about the implications of major foreign policy actions now underway? Now you can explore issues and meet new friends at the same time by joining the Great Decisions discussion group now beginning its third year in Spring Ridge. The Great Decisions program has been sponsored since 1914 by the bipartisan Foreign Policy Association (FPA) to stimulate interest in major international issues and to help pass on the informed views of individual citizens to government leaders. This year, the Spring Ridge discussion group will meet weekly, each Thursday at 7:30pm, for eight weeks beginning February 7th at the home of Joe and Ginger Ward, 6358 Claridge Dr. North. Each session will be about two hours long and will focus on a single topic. Participants will read background material provided by the FPA in advance, and after the discussion a straw poll will be taken with the results passed on the FPA. The combined national results will then be taken with the results passed on to the FPA. The combined national results will then be forwarded by the FPA to our leaders in Washington. If you want to flex your citizenship wings and meet interesting neighbors, call Joe or Ginger Ward at (301) 668-0761 for more information.

IF FED EX AND U.P.S. WERE TO MERGE, WOULD THEY CALL IT... FED UP?
That is a question to ponder, but since we're on the subject.... several residents that are FED UP with certain issues that are being ignored by some homeowners. They are fed up with the way some common areas look and the cost to clean it up. Even though there have been SEVERAL articles regarding pet waste and cigarette butts, there is still no improvement. Pet owners: PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR "BEST FRIEND(S)!" Spring Ridge needs to be kept beautiful by everyone. Pet waste is not the only concern, but cigarette butts are just as unsightly not to mention dangerous. Smokers: PLEASE DISPOSE OF YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS PROPERLY. For those of you who do own pets and those who are smokers that abide to these simple requests, WE ALL thank you.

CONSERVANCY BOARD OF DIRECTORS CORNER
1. The Board approved the rejuvenational pruning of the shrubbery on the Spring Ridge Parkway entrance. This will be a radical trimming of the bushes and shrubs AND will look very stark, UNTIL the spring. This dramatic removal is necessary to maintain the health of the plants and contribute to the professional landscaped appearance.

2. Thanks to the many residents who took advantage of the Christmas tree drop off points, to recycle the Christmas trees to mulch.

3. You should have received your 2002 Spring Ridge Directory by now. We appreciate your comments on how we can improve this community resource.

4. The board has approved the purchase of an Identacard System which will be used for PERMANENT pool passes. Look for more information on this, in the following months.

5. The resolution presented in December, regarding the collection of an administrative resale fee was approved. This contribution obtained on the resale of property in Spring Ridge, will be used for the operating budget.

6. Thanks to those who volunteered to serve on the Infrastructure Committee of Spring Ridge. The Board will be contacting you regarding the first meeting of this new committee.
