VE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE SUMMER

The summer season is now approaching, and “Waldesrauschen” will be the center of increased activities and this, of course, will put a tremendous task upon those members who are responsible for keeping our grounds in excellent condition. This is possible only with the help of all our members, and we appeal to every member to give us the fullest cooperation in this respect. Parents, please instruct your children to comply with our Club Rules and Regulations as you, and only you, will be held responsible for the behavior of members of your family while anywhere on Club property.
