Some of our older members, those with health considerations, and those with little children would sure appreciate closer-in parking spaces being freed up. The north and south lots most of us use are getting full. If you'd be willing to park in front of the elementary school off 120 or between the stadium and the middle school classroom building off Cardinal Lane, it would be a loving help to those who need closer access to the building.
