President’s Message, December 2023

As we approach the end of another year, we reflect on some of the things we were able accomplish together in 2023. Notable among these was the replacement of half the fence at Price’s Bend. As part of this effort, we were pleased to be able to add security cameras and WIFI for residents as well. After that we turned our attention to Valley Grove where we added electric so we could begin to hold events there. And we did – bringing live music to Valley Grove at last with our Endless Summer concert. Per usual, many great 2023 accomplishments…
