CLUBHOUSE

The Colonnades Clubhouse was purchased as a part of the Recreational Area by all unit owners and is designated part of the common elements.  Since the cost of repair and refurbishing must be paid by the owners, we all should treat it as an extension of our homes.  Use of the clubhouse for Colonnades functions is encouraged, i.e. Association activities.  Such reservations for the exclusive use of the main lounge should be arranged with the office in advance and posted on the bulletin board located in the clubhouse. The event should be registered in the log book. The Billiard room shall be kept free for other unit owner’s use.
