Tanglwood Happenings

Veterans Day in Tanglwood

Thank you to the Wallenpaupack Vets for Vets who held a gathering on November 11 at the Community Center in honor of our veterans. Veterans Day, originally designated as Armistice Day to be observed at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in commemoration of the ending of the conflict termed the ‘War to End all Wars’ and later World War II, is a significant date on the calendar in the United States. The Vets for Vets used this occasion to present the Tafton Fire Department with fifty (50) gas cards to be given to their firefighters and dive team members in appreciation for all they do for our local communities throughout the entire year. Their selfless dedication to volunteerism is indispensable. The Wallenpaupack Vets for Vets whose major fundraiser is the annual golf tournament which provides funds through golf participation, sponsorships and donations from the community is very proud to serve our local veterans and first responders. Keep your eyes open for the ‘save the date’ reminder of this year’s golf outing. You’ll want to sign up early!

Updates from the Entertainment & Recreation Committee

Take a look at the changes to our basketball court area. In response to the ever-growing popularity of racket sports such as pickleball, the court has been resurfaced, new baskets attached and an 8 foot fence installed in anticipation of it becoming a multipurpose court to be lined for pickleball. The fencing will also create a barrier for errant basketball shots from rolling down the hill to the creek.

In Loving Memory of Rhoda Levine

Rhoda A. (Schrager) Levine passed away on Thursday, December 1, 2022. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 29, 1939, to the late Freda and David Schrager. In 1959, Rhoda married her true love, Ed Levine. They had two children whom they raised in Saddle Brook, NJ. While raising her family, Rhoda worked as a librarian and video store owner.

Rhoda and Ed moved to the Greentown community in 2002 where she quickly became involved in volunteering, including the Tanglwoolies and the Tanglwood Entertainment Committee. Her friendships quickly grew through her engagement in mah jongg, canasta, tai chi and outings with “the girls”. Rhoda cherished her time with friends.

In Loving Memory of Warren Hildebrandt

On September 21, 2022, my wonderful husband, Warren Hildebrandt, passed away. He was a loving husband to me and a wonderful father to his three children

Debra, Douglas and Brad.

He served in the Marine Corps – boot camp in Parris Island and then to Camp LeJeune, where he drank (unknown to him) contaminated water. In 2010 he began to show signs of Parkinsons with Lewy Body dementia. My children and I had to place him in Gino Merle Veteran’s Home in Scranton.

Her greatest passion, however, would always be her family, especially her loving and devoted husband whom she had met at age 12. Rhoda is survived by her husband of 63 years, Ed Levine, her son Glen Levine and his wife Glenis of Sewickley, PA, and daughter Jill Duffy and her husband Jim of Hawley, PA. She was a cherished grandmother of Justin, Jordan, Anya and Mishon. She is also survived by her brother Gary Schrager and his wife Marcia of Boca Raton, Fla., and was beloved by many nieces and nephews.

We were married sixtythree years. After he served in the Marine Corps, he became a NJ State Trooper. I received such wonderful calls from troopers he trained and worked with –stories he never revealed to me. I am so proud of him. Thank you to everyone who knew of his passing and sent flowers and cards.

Tanglwood Cares

Just another way that Tanglwood deserves its reputation as a “Premier” Community is the way we help our neighbors. In addition to the “unofficial” way we respond by helping our TLCA neighbors when in need, we also reach out to our external neighbors in many ways.

LOAVES & FISHES FOOD PANTRY

For many years now the community has supported the Loaves and Fishes food pantry at the Paupack United Methodist Church on Rt. 507. Our residents provide food and funds each month to support those families in need that are served by the Loaves and Fishes team. The collection boxes and baskets located at the Chalet Office are always overflowing year-round, and the pantry team is always extremely grateful for our support. The donations are delivered by TLCA volunteers on the first Friday of each month.

Tanglwoolies

The amazing Tanglwoolies work year ‘round to use their gifts baking, knitting and crocheting to raise money and make direct gift contributions to the Ronald McDonald House and local hospitals. This “ministry” has been active in TLCA for many years! It’s a wonderful social sharing opportunity for our residents. Additionally, the Tanglwoolies have made gifts for our children’s parties.

Wallenpaupack Vets For Vets

The Wallenpaupack Vets for Vets helps local Veterans and First Responders in need by running events to raise funds needed to provide short-term financial help. Their fundraising is highlighted by an always terrific golf event in the summer. Now seven years in existence, this team has raised and distributed funds to assist deserving military personnel and first responders and their families.

These groups would welcome new volunteers. Call the TLCA Office for contact information at 570-857-1186.

To all Tanglwoolies and Vets for Vets volunteers and those unnamed residents who don’t hesitate to help your neighbors, we offer our appreciation for your service and demonstrating how “Tanglwood Cares”
