IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION – PEOPLE ARE DRIVING VERY FAST. PLEASE SLOW DOWN! Now that camp is open everyone will need to unload and move your vehicles to the parking lots.  It makes no difference if it is a public road or not it is about the safety of our children, as well as being able to use the road to drive in and out and not having to maneuver around parked cars. Thank you, Art Stevenson
