Happy New Year! Here it is January and the Board
of Directors have com-pleted their first 6 months. We have lots of good news
to announce.
Vito will be replacing John Hannan who has
resigned. Vito has been a I would like to thank Kathryn Kuhn for working so diligently on canvassing the neighborhood in order to get the Termite Control contract for the Villas. The positive response was amazing. Kathryn spent many weeks on this project and even got several of the single family home owners to canvass as well. We are grateful for their support and hard work. It is wonderful to be in a community, such as ours, where residents support one another. Once again the clubhouse has been miraculously transformed into a winter wonderland, both inside and out by Liz Mongrain and her merry helpers. Liz always has the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. I hope you have all taken the opportunity to see how nice our entrance on Carpenter Upchurch looks. Many missing or dead shrubs have been re-placed, seasonal colors have been added and the median looks terrific. The landscaping committee, headed by Joyce Bryant, has worked very hard with Brickman Landscaping in sprucing up our community. I hope you have all enjoyed this holiday season. I know all of our grandchildren did when they attended the Breakfast with Santa. Thanks to Barbara Lipson and Tina Caffera for chairing this activity and to all of the wonderful volunteers who made it possible. Our resident Santa, John Hannan, made the day very special for the children. We have gone through many changes in this community and I want to reas-sure you that we will continue to work very hard to provide a safe, inviting and active community that we can all be proud of. Looking forward to seeing you out and about, Pat Schneider Round Dance

their spouses who helped to set up and clear up. Thanks to Don Ward for

advertising signs they made and set out. Thanks for all the donations of
refreshments. Come and join our Art Club held every Friday from 9:00 am to

We have been working hard to keep the community
looking clean during the leaf dropping season and we feel that we have been
successful doing so. Throughout the winter months we will continue to
periodically clean leaves as necessary.
We will continue our pruning schedule through the
winter months.. Our focus will be cleaning the slopes, removing weeds and
dead or dying limbs, as well as lifting trees as necessary.
Cheers,
