PALM LAKE RESORT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION


On behalf of the Residents' Association we wish you a very warm welcome to our lovely Resort and hope you will be very happy here. We look forward to getting to know you better in the weeks ahead. lf there is anything we can do to help you settle in, please do not hesitate to ask.
Our Residents' Association is actively committed to making life as harmonious, enjoyable and enriching as possible for all residents. Our purpose is:
To promote the use by residents of facilities at Palm Lake Resort, Bargara. To raise funds on behalf of residents to enhance residents' lifestyles.
To assist in resident participation in wider community events.
To represent the residents' perspective in discussions, disputes or requests with and to bodies such as, but not confined to, Palm Lake Resort Management.
To encourage a residential community based on mutual respect.
As a new resident you automatically enjoy ordinary membership of our Association, and your input in helping us achieve these objectives is always welcome. Any ideas you may have to enhance the lifestyle we enjoy or ideas for Social Committee activities may be put in writing and given or emailed to our Secretary,see Contacts page for details, for action by the committee.
As an ordinary member you will also enjoy the results of any of the initiatives the Residents' Association has worked for. While the Resort Management provides us with state-of-the-art facilities, many of the opportunities to enjoy them are created by the residents themselves. Workshop training, art classes, use of the library, card afternoons, bridge lessons, guest speakers, selected DVD viewings, the many social and fundraising activities organised on a regular basis, sporting activities including bowling, pool and table tennis tournaments, all these are provided for you by your fellow residents via the Residents' Association.
As we welcome each new resident, it is exciting to realise what a wealth of experience, talent and interest that they bring with them. We hope that you will wish to become an active and contributing member of our association.
You may contribute in a number of ways. As a member you have the right to vote at meetings and to stand for office. Perhaps even more importantly, you may contribute by offering your talents and time to help us pursue our objects. From emptying the residents' dishwasher to organising a murder mystery theme night; from selling raffle tickets to serving at our dinners; from running a table tennis competition to teaching a group folk art; from starting a special interest group such as computing or photography or music to becoming a library assistant; there are so many ways residents can share with each other. You have come to live in a beautiful place. We welcome you most warmly and look forward to the many ways we can share with one another to make Palm Lake Resort, Bargara, an even better place to live.
