News from HOA Chairman Ed Green

I want to let everyone know that when projects getdone, there are many helpers that fail to getmentioned. Many hands makes the work go fasterand easier for all involved. Without the help of DavePearson, Ray Richard and Bill Belt the final portionsof the stage would not have been assembled asquickly and efficiently as it was. Without the helpfrom the many community volunteers many projectswould be much more labor intensive. Thank you toall who are so giving of your time for the community.

Congratulations to your 2016 HOA Board ofOfficers. They are counting on your support asmembers of the Walden Woods LTD. Home OwnersAssociation. There is strength in unity; without unitythere would be no community. Please show yoursupport by joining today, not tomorrow.

If you did not attend the HOA meeting, PresidentNick Fleischer announced that Sun has committedto building the addition to the clubhouse. It willconsist of a new sales office and game room facility.This will allow for more seating and space in themain clubhouse. When the project is complete itshould be a very nice addition to our community.

It took many hours of conversations, meetings,e-mails and tweaking of budgets, and working withthe Sun executives who made this happen for ourcommunity. Without the help and commitment toimproving our community from our communityresident manager, Belinda Biondillo, and thefollowing Sun Executives, Mr. James Hoekstra,

Ms.Kathy Neasham, and Mr. Micheal Machikas, thiswould not be happening. Our biggest obstacle thatwe are now facing is the Citrus County Buildingdepartment. We have already had many hours ofconversation with them; plans for the new buildinghave already been drawn. As with any constructionproject there will be many changes along the way.

Thank you for your trust in me and your HOA Boardand thank you for making Walden Woods thespecial place it is. Wave at your neighbors and sayhello, even if you don’t remember their name. Mostof the time they forgot yours, it happens! Be kind toone another. See you around the woods!

Coloring in Friendship

Our newest Walden Woods activity, Coloring inFriendship, has started out very well. We wouldnow like to expand this activity.

We ask that those who are coloring donate theirfinished products to the coloring group. Thesepages will then be taken to a church where theywill be distributed to elderly folks in ALF’s andNursing Homes; especially those who have nofamily and friends left to visit them.

We think a splash of color would be veryuplifting for them. Even if you think that theresults of your coloring are not that great, a bitof color in a lonely room will mean so much!

Thanks in advance for helping with this.

We meet on Thursdays at 1PM in the NorthClubhouse.

Karen Chipko and Bobbie Ward

MOVIES AT WW NORTH

The January movie held at the NorthClubhouse was “North by Northwest.” GaryGrant was chased by an airplane and climbedall over Mount Rushmore with Eva MarieSaint. But in the end love was in the air. Theturnout was very good but there was room forseveral more chairs.

Thanks to all who attended and most feedbackwas positive. We will be showing anothermovie in February on Saturday the 6th at 7p.m.

In observance of the Valentine theme, themovie will be the 1989 romantic comedy“When Harry Met Sally” starring Billy Crystaland Meg Ryan. The movie is about Harry andSally who have known each other for years,but fear that love would ruin the friendship.

Come and enjoy the show and see if theyfigure it out. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.with a donation of $1.00 asked at the door.

You are welcome to bring your owncomfortable lawn chairs or use the ones at theclubhouse.

Update on Homeless Vets Donations

Once again, it is with much gratitude that thisquick update comes to you. We had anabundance of blankets donated duringDecember, and they all went someplace to beput to good use. We are overly full on them fornow. However, we could still use sleeping bagsand tents and possibly even twin sheets/pillowcases. The greatest need of all is naturally, theeasy open food items. If you get a chance,please check out the box in the NorthClubhouse to get an idea of items that may beuseful. We've tried to set out some examplesfor everyone. Personal care items are always abonus and toilet paper. The Dollar Tree store isa blessing with so many needed items such asthese for such an inexpensive amount.

The Homeless Veterans RV started its stops tovarying locations last Wednesday, the 6th.They stop at 2-3 different locations in CitrusCounty Wednesdays and Thursdays for twohours each location.

Please consider donating a little every month. Ifeveryone just donated 2-3 items from all of thecommunities, it would be so wonderful.

We hope to come up with some ways foreveryone to join in the fun of giving soon.Again, thank you and hope to have somepositive news to give you next Gazette.

Charlotte Mixon and Tom Brannelly

WEIGH-IN SUCCESS

It has been almost two years since the weigh-in group wasstarted. During that time, members have joined and somehave left, but as a rule our members have been a loyal bunchand stuck with it.

We are very happy and proud to report that in the almost twoyears, a total of 156 pounds have been lost; hopefully, neverto be found again. Three members have lost over 20 lbs andare working on another 20. Most members have lost 10-19lbs to date and are either maintaining their weight or aredetermined to lose more.

We would like to see new members at any time to give it atry. All you have to do is stop in and put $1 dollar in theweekly pot and get on the scale. All weights are held strictlyconfidential. Whoever loses the most weight during thatweek, wins that entire pot.

You can stop in and weigh in any Monday morning at theNorth Clubhouse between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m. We would loveto have you join us.
