Windchime’s Annual Meeting
The annual meeting was held on June 22nd. It was announced that Mike MacDonald, the Mercantile Property Manager responsible for Windchime, was resigning to move to AZ. Bob Linney is the new PM.
Discussion centered around the upcoming need to replace roofs. The Board is still meeting with vendors and getting quotes, and discussing options to finance the project.
The results of the vote to increase the size of the Board did not pass, so it will remain at the current five members. New Board members are Keith Allen, Sheila Dynan, Kathleen Egan, Karen Kingsley, and Bev O’Connell.
Tony Dyer
The passing of Tony Dyer is a great loss to our community, as well as to his family and friends. His gentle, kind, and gracious demeanor was so welcome, as he walked his adorable pooch and stopped to chat with everyone he met along the way. We’ll keep his spirit close, and spread some good cheer in his memory as we stroll around our lanes. RIP, Tony!

September Windchime Book Club
The September 6th meeting of the Windchime Book Club was lively and focused, as “Go as a River” by Shelley Read and “Demon Copperhead” by Barbara Kingsolver were discussed. What a doubleheader!
Book Club
The Windchime book club enjoyed a lively discussion of “The Confidante”, by Christopher Gorham, on 6/21 at the Clubhouse. None of us had ever heard of Anna Rosenberg, the amazing woman who held many positions of responsibility in the Federal government during World War II and the Korean War. The GI Bill was her inspiration; it changed the lives of so many, in such important ways.
“Go as a River” by Shelley Read is the next book, for the meeting on July 12.
Come join us!
