"The Year Ahead"
A Presentation on Saturday, February 24th
at 1:00 PM in the Center

On Saturday, February 24th at 1 :00 PM in the Center, I will be making a presentation on "The Year Ahead" in Falls Run. This is

I will be sharing with you:
·        A bit of my background and how I got here today,
·        My approach to working with the community,
·        What my priorities and expectations are for the coming year,
·        Some significant changes that are on our doorstep and the procurements that will take place in the coming year, and,
·        How we can work together to make the community a better place by improving communications and transparency.

Refreshments will be served and I will be raffling off at least a dozen bottles of wine and whatever else pops in my mind as door prizes.

This is a talk from me to the community as a resident who happens the be the President of the Association. I am not representing the Board of Directors in any way. I do not intend this to be a forum of any kind. I do not intend to enter into any discussions or take any questions during my talk.

I look forward to seeing you there. Please sign up with the Concierge in the Center and have a great week.

Veterans Financial Lecture scheduled for February 22, at 11am is being CANCELLED for now. They no longer have a representative in the Virginia area. I'm working with the local Department of Veteran's Affairs office to see about having someone from their office provide a presentation for our community. Once I'm able to secure a new date, I'll advertise the information and post sign-up dates.
The weekly Watercolor Class is still meeting on Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. in Meeting Room 1. All are welcome and encouraged to come. No experience necessary, but if you do have supplies, bring them.

Questions? Call Lorna Dunklee (540-370-8699) or Carolyn Cameron (1-530-514-4345). This is a no-pressure, low-key opportunity to come and have fun exploring your inner Rembrandt.
