Mother Nature just did not want to cooperate with the festivities planned at the Founders Pointe Residents' Club this year but our residents still managed to have a blast hanging out this past Monday. Even the rain could not keep the kids from splashing around in our lakeside swimming pool and taking turns on the awesome 112 foot water slide. The grill was fired up and everyone got to enjoy the potluck from the safety of the clubhouse during the downpours.We are looking forward to better weather soon so we can enjoy the pool, walking trails, and much more that Founders Pointe has to offer.
