Currently, we are at the mercy of the weather before vendors are able to continue efforts in remediating the cause of the condensation leak. Two attic fans will need to be installed on the roof before we can begin restoration inside of the Lodge’s indoor pool and exercise room. Residents are restricted from entering the cordoned-off area of the pool and exercise room. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
DONATIONS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCE SERVICES – The Ladies of the Lake continue to collect non-perishables in boxes in the Lodge Library. According to their recent newsletter, the two popular items they can’t seem to keep stocked well enough are canned chili and the shells and cheese style mac and cheese (ie. Velveeta brand). The shells and cheese style mac and cheese is preferred by our clients because they don’t require any other ingredients to make. For more information click HERE.

7/8 – GRUB CONTROL – Brightview Landscaping will be on the property Thursday, July 11 applying Turf Fertilization with Broadleaf, Thistle Application, and Merit applications for grub control. Signs will be posted where needed to alert residents. Please water your lawn after the application. At least a 1/2 inch of water is needed to help the insecticide penetrate the soil where grubs are feeding, to ensure it works properly. Watering your lawn is also required for turf fertilization. It is always good practice to water your lawn regularly, particularly during hot summer droughts to keep your lawn looking healthy and manageable.
7/6 – PLEASE BE CAREFUL ENTERING AND LEAVING THE WORTHINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD – Here are a couple of pictures of the drain in front of 2401 Worthington. Take caution as you drive past the 2 Orange cones – the hole is large enough we’re a small tire can get stuck or a vehicle with larger tires running over the hole can increase the problem. A vendor has been contacted to schedule a repair in the area – thank you for your patience – Avenbury Board.
