children.
COMMUNITY PRINTER
When using the community printer please limit your printing sessions to a maximum of 25 pages.
The ink in the new printer has already been replaced and paper is going quickly. The community
printer is intended for resident personal use rather than for large business documents. Help your
association save money by reducing paper usage!

Personal Trainers need to ensure that they are not disturbing other residents while they train their
clients. This includes attempting to section off portions of the gym and the volume at which they
use to train their clients.
