A Message from our New Village President

Hello Wind Point neighbors!

As your newly elected Village President, I want to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Alison McCulloch and I and my family moved into our current home in Wind Point in 2010. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful community. Keeping Wind Point an affordable, safe, desirable place for families was one of the factors that motivated me to run for the Village Board in the first place. Prior to running for Village President, I served as a Village Trustee. I was born and raised in Arizona, the fourth of six children, and graduated from ASU with a BS in Finance and Economics. I love to travel, so working full time flying for the world’s largest airline is more like a vacation than a job! I love to read, cook, and work in my garden. When I’m not doing those things, I am spending time with my husband and kids.

Fun Fact: I bungee jumped off a crane in Auckland Harbor!

Please feel free to contact me through the Village office/email regarding any questions or concerns that you may have. I am honored to serve you.

Thank you.

President Alison McCulloch

Love is in the Air...

It's breeding season and the turkeys of Wind Point are more assertive than usual while looking for love. Please don't give them a reason to hang out in populated areas and possibly become aggressive towards residents by feeding them. Turkeys are wild animals and can find food on their own in nature. By feeding them they can become dependent on us for food. And possibly downright mad if we don't feed them. We ask that all residents please do their part to coexist with our feathered friends and please do not feed the turkeys.
