Community Information for Columbine Lakers February/March 2010
Chili Cook off
The Annual Chili Cook Off is scheduled for February 20, 2010 at the clubhouse. We will again be handing out first, second and third prizes in each of the following categories: red chili, green chili, and dessert. Please have your chili, or dessert, to the clubhouse by 5:45 PM . Even if you don't want to enter the contest, please bring a chili or side dish to share with the crowd. Some of last year’s winners will help our seasoned judges with the difficult task of selecting the 2010 winners.
During the judging, we will again be entertained with Trivia by Dayton Dave. We encourage you to find the best chili or dessert recipe for this year’s event. This is a great way to get rid of those mid-winter blues and have some fun. We hope to see you there!

SNOWMOBILE SAFETY:
Snowmobiles continue to be a big part of the winter recreation activities here at Columbine Lake . Owners are asked to please observe the speed limits, street signs and hours of operation for these vehicles, and to make sure your family, guests, and renters do the same. Snowmobile trailers need to be parked in driveways and not on community roads, right-of-ways, parking lots and cul-de-sacs to allow for snowplowing operations and access by emergency vehicles. Let’s all have a safe winter season, and respect the other winter activities, like cross country skiing and snow snowshoeing, here in our neighborhood.
SNOWPLOWING:
Owners are reminded that all of the beautiful snow that has been falling, and must be removed from their driveways must be stored on their lots, and not pushed into the street and common areas. Please remind your snow removal contractor that snow plowed from driveways must remain off of community streets, in order to allow for traffic and emergency vehicles to pass safely, and operate efficiently. The office has contact information for snow removal experts that use the correct type of equipment.
~The Board of Directors meets the second Saturday of each month beginning at 8:00 AM at the clubhouse. You are welcome to attend any meeting to express your comments and concerns about our community. It’s always good to hear from fellow owners.
