This year the MLR Haunted House will be held on Saturday, October 23, 1999 between 7pm and 9pm. This is an anual event that our members, children and friends look forward to each year. Anyone wishing to volunteer their time to help make this year's Haunted House as successful as in previous years, please call the office at 875-9157 and leave your name and phone number.

Special Note--In order for this year's Haunted House to be a success, we need workers and gouls. Contact Mary or Marc for details.

 

 

We have a Lost and Found Department if you have lost anything while using MLR, such as jewelry, clothes, eyeglasses, etc.… Please call me. We also have a class ring found a year ago. To pick up an item just call us and describe the lost item and come down and pick it up.

 

MLR would like advanced notice on all parties of 10 or more guests. We will need a list of guest names and phone numbers for each one in your party. Anyone not on the list will not be allowed to enter MLR facilities. Some of our past parties have found it easier to pay for their guests in advance. This has helped with security to move everyone in as quickly as possible. Please give M&M advance notice.

 

Effective immediately every member with an RV in storage is required to come into the office and reregister their RV no later than March 25^th 1999, and every 6 months thereafter. Free RV storage was implemented to help members to store their RV’s for use on MLR. We have RV’s in storage that are in disrepair and have not been used in over 18 months. Any RV not reregistered by March 25^th will be considered abandoned property and will be disposed of according to applicable Mississippi State laws.

 

Improvements to Your Park

Martin Lake has recently remodeled the Ladies Restroom: New Tile, Air Conditioning, New Showers, etc. The men's restroom remodeling will be started shortly after Labor Day. We've also done some landscaping and sewer has been added to Azalea.
