While cleaning out some old file cabinets recently, the office staff found a stack of old Round-Up Newsletters in the Ranch Office. For the summer months, we thought it would be fun to add a “Flash Back” section to our current 9 Lines from some of these vintage newsletters. The following is taken from the Round-Up dated November-December, 1987:

Attention Members & Guests

Please help us recycle your aluminum cans by putting them in the designated wire containers that are sitting next to each trash dumpster!! Thanks!!

Hay Fields: This is the first time in quite a while that we are baling our own hay. This helps us to keep our costs down for the Ranch. But there are a few people who don’t think about these things & decide to drive their vehicles through the hay fields. This practice is cutting down on our production of hay. This is a no win situation for our Ranch. So, please keep out of the hay fields with your ATV’s & vehicles.

LOST & FOUND All Members & Guests: During severe storms, we have the Rangers announce what kind of warning is in progress. We have (2) storm shelters to go to; The basement under our chapel & for those who have pets, you can go to the Pre-teen center , under the Trading Post/Restaurant. Please make sure you find these (2) shelters so you know exactly where to go when a warning is issued.

RANCH MANAGER REQUESTS

Trail Rides; Reminder for all members & guests: Please be careful when out riding your ATV’s, when you come upon a horse ride you need to stop for them to pass by before you continue on your way. I’ve been informed that some people are not even slowing down. Please be aware of this & stop for the rides.

Be sure to check with the office for items you may have lost or bring the items you may have found. We still have various keys & etc. from last year not claimed.
