Community Updates Winner of the Halloween Home Decorating Contest 2012!

Halloween Costume Contest 2012

Management would like to remind residents that the street lights in Woodbury are generally maintained by Southern California Edison on behalf of the City of Irvine. If you observe a street light that is out or observe a damaged street light fixture, you may go directly to the Southern California Edison website to issue a work order for a repair. Before you issue the work order, make sure you have the pole number (each street light has a tag on it with a pole number) and a detailed description of the location of the pole. If you are not sure how to report the light repair, you can contact management at jmazzotti@pcminternet.com with the location and pole number. We are happy to place a work order for you.

Just a reminder, the heat to the pools and waders at Peppertree Square, Cypress Square, Promenade Square, Date Palm Square, and the Resort pool at the Recreation Center has been turned off for the winter. The heat is scheduled to be turned back on at the beginning of April for all of these facilities.

The heat for the Lagoon pool, Competition pool, wader and spa at the Recreation Center, as well as all the spas throughout the community, are scheduled to be on throughout the winter, unless closed for repairs.

The umbrellas and cabana tops at each pool facility have also been put away for the season to prevent damage during high wind conditions. They will be put back out in the pool areas at the beginning of April as well.

Magic: The Gathering Magic: The Gathering is the original collectable card game for typically ages 13 and up in which players build and design customized decks to play a richly strategic game against other players. The game thematically depicts players as “planeswalkers” who have access to spells to defeat their opponents. In the game itself, the deck contains cards for energy (mana) which can activate spell cards for summoning creatures, castle enchantments, producing artifacts, dealing damage, or disrupting others, which all can be used to achieve victory.
