Although I do love summer, I also enjoy September, with the temperatures cooling off, and life getting back to its usual routine – although I’m not sure that ‘usual’ is the right word to describe anything about this year.
Of course, our big excitement in the community this month is the playground build on Sunlake Road, scheduled for September 21 to 28. This is such an accomplishment for our amazing playground committee, and I can’t thank them, or the numerous sponsors, enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We are also excited about the reopening of our Out of School Care program, which closed in March when the schools shut down. The staff have gone to great lengths to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. We also have our programs starting up with strict adherence to the AHS guidelines. See our website for more information.
I’m sorry to report that our VP, Rick Cunningham, has resigned from the board due to some personal issues. Rick was a dedicated member of the board this past year; we will all miss him and sure wish him all the best. Many thanks to Wayne Hewitt, who volunteered to take over Rick’s position on the Ops Committee and to Devin Elkin for stepping into the VP role until our AGM in November.
Speaking of the AGM, please give some thought to joining our board. We really are a fun group; we meet once a month and going forward, we will have the option of meeting in person or online. We need a Vice President and are also looking for someone to take on a new Director position as a Business Liaison to see what we can do to support businesses in our community. Any interest or questions, please contact me.
And, finally, in some personally wonderful news, my husband and I are thrilled that our daughter, her husband, and two children have recently purchased a house in Sundance and will live about an 8-minute walk from us! Not that we’d stalk them or anything, but if they are drinking wine or having fun without us… we’ll know!
All for now. Hope you all have an excellent September.
Patsy
