October marks the start

all the decorations that go
along with them! A few

be displayed and must be
removed 7 days after the
holiday.
Happy Halloween,

The Association is quickly
gearing up for the busy
winter season ahead!
As you may have noticed,
there are no more sign-up
sheets in the activities and
events binder at the front
desk. All sign-ups for any
event or activity, regardless
of if there is a fee or not,
will need to be done at the
front desk or fitness desk.
This will allow us to track
sign-ups more accurately
and efficiently through
our registration system.
Also, if you’ve been away
for a while, please note
that our events have been
filling up quickly and it’s
important to sign up early
for events so that you can
be sure to get in before the
maximum capacity for the
