Sunnier Pines - The Place to be All Natural

"Your Gateway to the South"
     The Earth Day Beautification weekend was a great success. We now have some new flower beds by the bath and ice house, and freshly painted tables and swing. Sunnier Pines implemented its new recycling program in April and now has 3 containers for recycling aluminum cans strategically placed around the resort, along with containers for pop tabs, and plastic bottle recycling bins. We ask that all members and guests recycle here and at home so that Sunnier Pines can raise money for the Manna Food Bank in Jay, FL. Remember to Reuse, Recycle, Restore, Replenish, and Reduce. 
     The Hot Tub is almost ready for our grand opening. Thanks to John for all of his help in getting the tub cleaned and purifying the water for use. The deck for the hot tub is almost complete and really looks good. Thanks to Rod for all of his hard work at putting this together. Once the deck is complete and the shower is placed we will have a Grand Opening and this will be announced on the website along with a follow up e-mail.  
     We hope to be able to announce the opening of the Blue Moon Lagoon by May 11th if not before. This past month the water was drained and all of the silt was removed. It is now on the last few inches of being full and complete for reopening. Thanks to Tim for all of his hard work on this project.  
     Memorial Day weekend should be a blast. We are expecting some of the Sandy Bares Travel Club to join us for this weekend and have activities planned for some fun in the sun.
