Soils samples must be taken ahead of the concrete pour and stabilization specifications being prepared. Estimated date for the specifications to be finalized is January 16, 2013. Quotes will be solicited and reviewed through January 25, 2013. Project will be awarded by January 29, 2013. Construction is expected to take between 30 to 90 days, with 30 of those days being dedicated to allowing the concrete to cure. Weather permitting, the estimated date for opening the new court will be May 6, 2013. This project will not require the closing of any other portions of the park except the area where the existing tennis court is located. Donna LaMond: It's all about Park Lovers' Ball. Kristine continues to work hard at making sure we have a completely successful event. I am working on reservations and seating arrangements so if you are planning to attend and have not yet submitted your paperwork to me, please do so as soon as you can. Remind others as well that payment is not due until Jan. 21, so get those reservations emailed to me. As a reminder, we have a block of rooms reserved for the night of the ball at the Hilton Americas. They are offering rooms for our guests at $144 per night. Information about reserving a room is included in the PLB invitations. Rooms must be secured by January 19. At the ball Direct Energy will present Friends with a mock check for $50,000 as our 2013 Friends Corporate Sponsor. They have already given us the real check and the money is in the bank. The Wine Harvest and Friends Holiday party held on 12/12/12 at the home of Vicki and Dana Grams was a great success. We collected more wine and got some great photos of board members, advisory board members, and other guests. A good time was had by all. The performance by the Salvation Army Harbor Light Choir was wonderful. Thank you to Vicki and Dana for opening up their beautifully decorated home for the party for Friends. .
