In the past couple weeks I have begun seeing more out-of-state vehicles driving around Wildewood. It’s that time of year when we welcome back those of you who have been away for the summer. So WELCOME BACK one and all!
Many of you have remarked how beautiful everything looks in our community; some even commenting that the grounds look better this year than they have looked in several years. That encourages us to continue to work hard for the good of our Association.
There have been questions about the removal of trees and a ditch at the corner leading into the Association office. Thanks to Board member Harry Potter who brought our drainage system to the attention of our General Manager, it was discovered that the drainage system relating to our lakes had not been maintained for 10 years! If we had heavy rains during this time we might all have been flooded! So all the drains have now been found (some under 6 inches of dirt) and everything has been flushed out so that we have a properly working system. I will help to see that this system is now maintained every year.
I will have more information coming your way soon.

I would like to hear your thoughts
The first item that I would like to hear from you about is turning off the heaters on the hot tubs in the summer months,I have taken calls from some owners who have suggested in order to save some money that we take a survey of owners to see how many people use the hot tubs in the months of June, July and August .Please post a comment on this site or feel free to call me with your thoughts.
The second item that I would like to hear from you about is trying to bring our community together by possibly having a monthly get together at the office where people could gather , socialize and meet new people and perhaps bring a dish to pass. I am looking for volunteers who would be willing to organize this and other types of social events. Since we do not have a clubhouse I would think there would be a good amount of interest from our owners. Again please post a comment on this site or feel free to call me with your thoughts.

Officers Attend Foreclosure Seminar
I would like to personally acknowledge three of our officers Claire Dewhurst, Nancy Thomas and Sharon Bateman who attended a seminar on Foreclosure that was sponsored by CAI. One of the panelists included one of our own attorneys Andrew Cohen.
The officers reported that the seminar was very informative and helpful .As we look back we have seen our foreclosure rate increase significantly, however not as bad as many of our neighboring associations .This is new to all of us and I am pleased that these officers have chosen to expand their knowledge so that we can better address this growing problem.
There will be a similar seminar taking place this summer ,date not yet confirmed.You do not have to be a board member to attend.Often these events are free of charge with drawings for door prizes to boot.I will keep you informed when I receive further information.

A Blast from the Past
I thought it might be fun to devote this entry to some material I came across in the WWS office. I'm not certain who found these materials. But I enjoyed comparing them to current photos of the same locations and I hope you like it as well.
The first item on the left is a photo postcard from Wildewood Springs. It must date from the late 70's and might have been created as marketing material for condo sales. The photograph is Pool 3 looking toward the rear of cluster G. On the right is a recent photo taken from approximately the same location and orientation.
The next pair of photos shows Pool 1 in the same approximate time frames as the photos above. This view looks toward the rear of cluster B. The old photo is from a WWS marketing brochure.
The most striking difference for me was the lack of mature trees in the early photos. I had thought the trees we can see in the later shots were always on the grounds. It's easy to see the visual impact of a mature landscape for this property. It looked nice then, but it looks wonderful now. Maybe this place was named 'Wildewood' because someone had a crystal ball. Enjoy the photos!
