HIP PROJECT UPDATE
     The Club’s Construction and Facilities Department is planning for five homes to be constructed at the Birdtown HIP Project – two three-bedroom homes and three two-bedroom homes.  Two of the foundations are almost complete at this time.  All construction should be complete by late spring.  Thanks to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and Tribal Housing for the opportunity to build these homes and for the support they have provided.

SAFETY REMINDER
     Please be mindful of the students when they are getting on or off the school buses, in the parking lots or on the roads before or after school, when leaving sporting events and when participating in other activities.  Drive slowly in school zone areas and keep alert at all times!  Our children are precious and not always as cautious as they should be so please make the extra effort to watch out for them.
