I would like all residents to walk or ride down to the dock area. Take one of the golf cart trails and just look around at nature at it’s best. I went down to this area yesterday and walked out to the end of the dock. The beauty of the area was so wonderful. It makes you feel glad that you live in a place that still has scenery like this. Also, the sunsets are something to see. All I ask is that we enjoy what we have and be thankful we have owners who want to make our park an even better place. Finally, thank you for your understanding during the recent road work and the delays that resulted. Sure looks great now.

As ever,
BINGO STARTS
BASICALLY FOR MEN
Thursday, September 3rd, there will be a meeting for anyone who would like to help sell bingo cards or call at bingo. All are welcome.
The President has nothing to say so I thought I would include a historical article for the guys about the Battle of Arnheim. Sixty four years ago, on the 17th of this month, in a bid to outflank the Siegfried Line, three airborne divisions, the 82nd US, 101st US and the 1st British, were dropped from Nijmegen to Arnheim. The US landings at Nijmagen and Eindhoven secured bridges over the Maas and Waal rivers. The British, however, were dropped too far from Arnheim to secure the bridge there. Unbeknownst to the allies, remnants of the 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions had been moved to the Arnheim area. These divisions counter attacked the British keeping them from Arnheim. General Montgomery’s plan called for the 30th British Corp to race over the road captured by the airborne forces. This force was seriously delayed by German resistance and did not reach the Arnheim area until the 25th. On the night of the 25th, 2,400 British survivors were withdrawn across the river in boats. 6,450 others were captured by the Germans.
Bingo starts September 10th at 7:00pm. We stop selling cards at 6:50pm. We look forward to seeing you on September 3rd at the meeting or September 10th at Bingo.

Page # 6 REMEMBER WHEN When entering “Glen Este” , as our park was formerly known, there were no businesses on the Checkers side of the road. However, the owner of Glen Este, Ralph Sargent lived on a hill that was between Checkers and the strip mall. John Reineke, son of Terry Weddington, co-owner of the park, also lived there. Hence, the names of our roads. They lived in a large 2 story house with a barn where all of the park maintenance equipment was stored. When the land was sold, the barn was demolished but Terry Weddington had the house moved down the entrance road to the gate control box, behind the retaining pond and “Kash & Karry” and out to Route 17. Terry had the house remodeled into a boutique and tea rooms. The building now houses attorney’s offices. The first 50 persons to become owners and residents were members of “The Mallard Club”. Their names were on a plaque in the clubhouse. The owners of the park gave new residents a name plate for their mailboxes with their names and the stat4e from which they came. This name plate also had a carving on it of a mallard landing. It was our trademark so to speak. Submitted by Stanley Budzyna in Sept 2006
