Alamo Area SKP Co-Op/Retreat of Texas, Inc. Lone Star Corral

WARNING to all LSC Members presently in the Co-op!

Freezing weather is expected every night for the next 5-6 nights. Be sure to protect your rigs to prevent frozen, or worse yet, broken pipes in your RV. Fill your water tanks as necessary, disconnect hoses as necessary, drip water, and open cabinets to circulate the heat to the pipes under the sinks.

UPDATE:  After consultation with Uvalco, we were told that the water pipes on/in the ground should not freeze. However, the BRASS FAUCETS will freeze!  Uvalco’s advice is to unhook your water hose from the pedestal and drain the hose. Turn the RED handle to the off position and open both brass faucets.  Wrap a heavy towel around the faucets, cover with a plastic bag (in case it rains), and zip tie it closed.  If necessary, the hose can be reattached during the day, but be sure to take these precautions to protect the system during these next 5-6 days of freezing weather.  If these instructions are not followed, you may be responsible for the cost to replace any damaged faucets.

Small heaters will be placed in the men’s restroom, kitchen, and laundry room as those pipes are on outside walls. Cabinet doors are to be left open to circulate the heat. Please do not adjust or shut off.

Early morning driving may be hazardous, so be careful.

Tickets are now available for our annual Baked Potato Supper!  It will be served on Saturday, February 6, 2021 from 5:00 – 5:30 PM at the Clubhouse. Due to the restrictions of Covid and making sure we keep everything safe for our Members and guests, it will be another “Grab N Go” style dinner.  You may eat in with friends, pick up to take home or have it delivered to your Lot!

Supper will be a choice of white or sweet potato.  With a large (1.25-1.50 lbs) white potato, you’ll get butter, sour cream, cheese, chives and bacon. For large sweet potato, you get butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Dessert is included with both meals and the current plan is a piece of cake.  There will be no beverage service provided, so if you’re eating in at the Clubhouse, please bring your choice of beverage.  All meals are in individual containers and include required flatware.

All meals will be prepared, cooked and served in accordance with current CDC guidelines for social club meals. This includes sanitation of surfaces, limited access to kitchen and food product, masks and gloves for all handlers.
