The Woodlake Digest - Friday, January 6, 2023

Welcome to 2023! Did you know we're turning 40?

The Woodlake Community Association is planning several special 40th Anniversary activities throughout the year. This is in addition to all your favorites like First Friday Concerts, the Woodlake Farmers Markets and other great activities for residents and families.

Be sure to visit the “Events” section at woodlakeonline.com. We’ve packed the calendar from January to December (with more to come). Event details are being developed and finalized but the dates are firmed up so you can mark your calendar and make plans. Check the website often for updates and stay up to date weekly with the Digest.

Taking a look back…

Dust off your shoulder pads, leg warmers and Member’s Only jackets as we venture back to the 1980’s and revisit Woodlake through the years. We're pouring through the Woodlake archives, scrapbooks and talking with residents to share memories and milestones throughout the year. Check out the Digest each week for a Woodlake “Flashback” and re-live the fun times we've had as a community.

We are also planning to offer special apparel, gifts and souvenirs in 2023 to celebrate Woodlake's 40th Anniversary. We kicked that off with Christmas-time orders, however, there is more cool stuff to come!

And, on top of all the 40th Celebrating we have planned, we're opening a brand new pool in May!

2023 is going to be fun, and we’re looking forward to spending it with you. On behalf of the entire Woodlake Community Association staff, Happy New Year and Happy 40th Anniversary Woodlake!

Woodlake Cares

Interested in being a Care Helper?

Need assistance with someone you are the caregiver for?

Need extra help yourself? 

You have come to the right place! Lifestyle Services is starting a program called "Woodlake Cares". They are looking for Care Helpers to volunteer their time helping out a neighbor in need within Woodlake. A Care Helper can do anything from helping a person get groceries, taking someone to doctor appointments, or just sitting with someone while their caregiver gets a break. A Care Helper will never give medication, handle wound care, or give a bath. Everyone’s situation/needs will be different. You will not be a caretaker, but a care helper. 

Our hope for Woodlake Cares is to provide the following with helpful volunteers from the community:

An extra set of hands around the home, preparing meals and storing them for later, correspondence, organizing/cleaning out, help with the computer, tablet, smart phone, hobbies, cards, games, help with pets and to make a new friend!

Grocery Shopping, picking up and mailing packages, dropping off and picking up dry cleaning, shopping for gifts, picking up and returning library books, taking things to Goodwill.

Medical appointments, shopping outings, trips to the salon, community and social events, trips to the library, visits with friends and family, and going out for a spin around the neighborhood.

To date, we've had Care Helpers volunteering to help with the following:

• Repairs and small fixes around the home

• Blowing Leaves

• Friendly dog visits

• Mother and Baby visits

• Reading to someone

• Helping with chores around the home

• And more!

This program is completely FREE! If you need more information or have questions, contact Jenny DeLorenzo - jennyd@woodlakeonline.com or 804.739.4344 (ext. 4110)

Everyone can use a friendly hand! If you are in need of a little extra help or if you know someone who needs a little extra help, have them contact Jenny.
