Ladies,
A couple of months ago, your new co-president Lesli Asiello and I met to discuss the year ahead. We were in a period where it seemed COVID was finally under control. Our theme ideas: Renew!....or Refresh!....or Fresh start!
Within a week of that initial meeting, news of a virus variant made those theme ideas seem a bit laughable.
We still liked the idea of growth and started working synonyms. We landed on "Flourish", definition: to grow luxuriantly.
Come Flourish with us....
Welcome a new neighbor at our
Newcomers' Gathering on Sunday, September 19th (6pm to 8pm) at Jean Ann's home. RSVP to Heather Rees.
Look forward to catching up and flourishing together soon, Jean Ann and Lesli Your Co-Presidents

New Neighbor Party September 19
Our New Neighbor Hospitality Committee is planning to celebrate our newest residents by welcoming them to our annual newcomer's gathering on September 19, 5-7 p.m. at the McCarthy's for food, beverage, conversation, and a word from our CPWC and area leaders.
On behalf of the CPWC, we will provide all identified new neighbors (typically 40-50) with a welcome bag which will include an invitation to the September event and information on CPCA. We always include a small gift and like to support local businesses, so please let us know of any coupons or local goodies we may include to expand the sense of community.
Now, we just need your help in identifying our newest neighbors (those who have moved to the area within the last 12 months). Please send us any names and addresses of those who have recently chosen our neighborhood to call home.
On behalf of the CPWC Welcome Wagon, thank you for your help!
