The first meeting of the new WWC board will be on Thursday 3rd September at 7pm at Anita Lieberman’s home. We would still like a couple more Westacres Women to step up so that we can have a full board: come on Thursday and see if the WWC is for you!

Women’s Club Meeting
August 30th, 2009STOP!
August 28th, 2009A stop sign has replaced the yield sign at the intersection of Honeysuckle and Winterberry. Please do your bit to keep our neighborhood safe: keep under the speed limit of 25mph, and remember to stop at the stop signs (especially the ones that you think are yields).
Tomato Canning how-to for Westacres Residents
August 28th, 2009Mary Fox will be holding a tomato canning workshop in the clubhouse kitchen on Sunday 20th September at 2pm. Come and learn how to can all those surplus tomatoes so that you can eat them year round! All you need to bring is 3lbs of tomatoes, one quart sized canning jar, a ring and a new lid. RSVP to Mary, please.
Boatwell Lock & Tennis Courts
August 28th, 2009A new lock has been installed on the boatwell gate, so make sure that you remember to take your key with you (same key, new lock).
The tennis courts could do with a little TLC in the shape of some crack-filling and painting of the green wall. All we need is a bit of your time and enthusiasm- we’ll provide all neccessary materials. Think that this might be the volunteer project for you? Call Mike Connelly (248) 363 0959.
Craft Fair 2009
August 28th, 2009A huge thank you to Pam Miller for offering to chair this years craft fair. More information will be available soon, and in the meanwhile, if you need info or would like to volunteer to help in any capacity, please call Pam at (248) 420 1420.
Aquacade ribbons
August 13th, 2009We still have some participant ribbons left for both field and water events. If you participated but didn’t get a ribbon, please come and pick one up from the front porch of 3238 Winterberry.
Please also take a couple of minutes to tell us what you loved or hated about Aquacade so that we can make it even more fun next year! Go to the Aquacade page to fill in your comments for Mark Kelly, Aquacade chair. Thanks!

The red side won!!
August 10th, 2009The final result was 664.5 points to the south side and 512.5 points for the north (the half points were from the parade). While the green team held an early lead with their superior corn husking, parading and party going skills, they were no match for the red team’s excellent performance on the field, in the water, and on the sand (wow -that was some sandcastle!).
Thanks to everyone who paraded in the rain and ran and swam in the heat. Special thanks to Mark Kelly for organizing it all, and to everyone who helped make it possible. Thanks to Mark Kelly’s lovely wife (that’s me!!!) for her part helping with the party on Saturday evening, and for Joni and her crew of table-putter-uppers-and-decorators.
We have such great people in this neighborhood! – so many of you helped to make Aquacade possible. Photos coming soon!!
