駕駛高爾夫球車既有趣又方便，尤其是在風景優美的村莊場地上。但務必注意步行者、慢跑者和其他使用道路的人員，因為有些地方道路較窄。請減速慢行，並在能見度有限時（例如陽光直射眼睛時）格外小心。記住與行人共享道路，並讓行人先行。

許多利用娛樂和特別活動部門專案的人都知道，基於互聯網的 ActiveNet 應用程式已成為居民支付設施預訂、課程、活動等費用的主要工具。

目前，GRF 承擔所有與 ActiveNet 相關的現場購買交易和信用卡費用，但不承擔線上購買費用。

2月7日，GRF批准 第90-23-06號決議，其中規定，居民在支付某些村莊設施費用時，將承擔 ActiveNet 線上和線下交易的交易費用。喜歡使用信用卡支付的居民現在將支付信用卡費用。 

此舉將為 GRF 每年節省約 $35,000 美元。

目前，線上交易及信用卡手續費總計為 6.4392%。線下交易手續費為 2.93%；使用信用卡付款時，需額外支付 3.5093%。

僅在註冊需要付費的娛樂項目時才需支付交易費；註冊免費項目時無需支付任何費用。

此外，資金從一項活動轉移到另一項活動或支票退款無需支付交易費。但信用卡退款需支付固定的 $0.10 手續費。

此外，預訂、課程或收費活動僅接受支票或信用卡付款—不再接受現金。

新的費用和付款程序將於 4 月 1 日星期六生效。

請注意，這不適用於表演藝術中心票房門票購買或高爾夫費用，因為這兩個程式都使用其他軟體程式。

該決議的效力將適用於所有使用 ActiveNet 進行現場或線上支付的部門或分部。

Your patience is appreciated and necessary for the success of the driving range lawn maintenance and rehabilitation project. While the newly planted grass is in the rehabilitation stage, practice nets will be erected across a section of the range to provide the time needed for the grass to fully mature and still allow residents to hit balls. Using the range picker and other maintenance equipment on newly restored areas could destroy immature grass. 

The schedule below outlines when the range will be officially closed for work:

• March 20 – Range closed for the day for second preparation application
• March 27 – Range fully closed; turf maintenance and rehabilitation begins
• May 27 – Practice nets installed and open for use (residents must bring their own golf balls, as the area will be unstaffed; limit use when others are waiting)
• August 17 – Planned range reopen (tentative due to status of the new grass) 

While the range is closed, staff has arranged special pricing at local golf facilities: 

• Lake Forest Golf Center

• Oak Creek Golf Club: Must present Village resident ID to receive discount ($13 small bag [regularly $16], $18 large bag [regularly $22] and $14 chipping tube rental [regularly $16]).

Exercise caution when using golf cart paths and stay on the external paths marked in purple on this map. The Laguna Woods Village golf course and internal golf cart paths are restricted to golfers with tee times from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 365 days a year. Walkers, joggers, bicyclists and golf cart drivers may use the perimeter path from Clubhouse 4 to Clubhouse 2, but please be mindful of others who are using the path, which narrows in parts, as well as the risks involved in using the path during golfing hours.

Keep in mind:

• The perimeter access path is located within the golf course area of play; balls can be struck in that area.
• In general, the trajectory of golf balls hit by beginners will not go in the intended direction. This places anyone walking/driving in the area in danger of being struck.
• The path is close to the intended ball direction, and a marginally mishit shot will fly into this area.

• Always remain aware of players striking a ball and where the ball is headed.
• Stop and watch where a struck ball is headed and proceed when safe.
• Stop and cover your head if you hear “Fore!” yelled by a golfer—this means a ball has been struck and is headed in your direction.
  Remain conscious of a player about to swing and do not walk/drive your cart behind or in front of them. Doing so is dangerous and can distract a player from their game.

The collection of trees in urban/suburban settings is referred to as an “Urban Forest”; with more than 39,000 trees and more than 250 different species, Laguna Woods Village has a unique and diverse urban forest. Tree trimming is just one piece of an efficient, long-term maintenance plan of the urban forest. Most of the trees in the Village are mature trees, with many of them planted in the late 1960s. The sheer number and variety of trees in United are unique in the region and will require a long-term plan to maintain and manage the trees through the years, which is referred to as an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). Both United and Third have embarked on the process of developing such a plan, to ensure the beauty of the Village continues for future generations.

The proposed UFMP will take into consideration the age and condition of the inventory, develop an efficient replanting plan to maintain the inventory, as well as adapting to changes in the environment and the forecasted long-term drought conditions. A management tool will be developed that will incorporate resident input toward developing the plan. Community involvement and education is an important component of any successful UFMP program.

A short survey is available for residents to provide input on their values and needs in respect to maintaining beautiful trees in the community. 點這裡 to take the survey online or request a hard copy at Resident Services. The survey will be open for resident input until March 15, 2023.
