SEPTEMBER 2026 NEWSLETTER
A COBBLESTONE COMMUNITY
A LETTER FROM THE MANAGER, Alyson Hartmark Dear Jadestone Family,
6942 W. OLIVE AVENUE, PEORIA, AZ 85345
As we welcome September, I can’t help but reflect on what an incredible summer we’ve shared together. August was filled with laughter, friendship, and so many special moments that remind me why I love this park so much. From horse racing with Roger and friends to Fiesta Friday and Sweets & Treats, it was a month packed with fun, smiles, and memories that I hope will last for years to come.

What makes these events truly special isn’t the food, the games, or the decorations—it’s the people. It’s the conversations over morning coffee, the laughter that fills the clubhouse, neighbors helping neighbors, and the friendships that continue to grow. The sense of community we have here is something truly unique, and I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of it.

Every day, I am inspired by the kindness, wisdom, and generosity that our residents show one another. Whether it’s welcoming a new neighbor, lending a helping hand, volunteering at an event, or simply taking the time to brighten someone’s day with a smile, each of you plays an important role in making Jadestone feel like family. As much fun as August was, I can honestly say that the best is still ahead of us. We have been working hard behind the scenes, saving, planning, and dreaming up ideas for some of our biggest events of the year. October, November, and Christmas are just around the corner, and we are determined to make this holiday season our most memorable yet. From spooky Halloween fun and festive fall gatherings to Thanksgiving celebrations filled with gratitude and a Christmas season overflowing with joy, there is so much to look forward to in the coming months. These events are more than just dates on a calendar—they are opportunities to create memories, strengthen friendships, and celebrate the incredible community we have built together. As we enter this new season, I encourage everyone to take part, try something new, and continue making connections with your neighbors. Join us for a cup of coffee, attend a game night, come to a party, or simply stop by and say hello. The memories we create together are what transform a neighborhood into a true community. Here’s to a beautiful September, an unforgettable fall season, and a holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and togetherness. With gratitude, Alyson Community Manager

LABOR DAY: CELEBRATING THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP AMERICA MOVING As summer begins to wind down and we welcome the cooler days of fall, Labor Day gives us an opportunity to pause and recognize the hard work, dedication, and contributions of millions of Americans. Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day honors the workers who have helped build our communities and shape our country.
Labor Day is also a time to gather with friends and neighbors, share stories, enjoy good food, and appreciate the simple pleasures of community. Here at Jadestone, we are grateful for the wisdom, experience, and strong sense of togetherness that make our neighborhood such a special place to call home. As we celebrate this Labor Day, let us take a moment to thank those who continue to work every day to keep our country running and to honor the generations whose hard work paved the way for us all.
For many of our Jadestone residents, Labor Day is more than just a long weekend—it is a reminder of years spent working hard, raising families, serving our communities, and creating the lives we enjoy today. Whether you worked in education, healthcare, construction, public service, the military, business, or countless other professions, your efforts have made a lasting impact.
From everyone at Jadestone, we wish you a safe, relaxing, and happy Labor Day weekend!

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — A DAY WE WILL NEVER FORGET donated blood, volunteered, prayed together, and offered whatever help they could. Differences seemed smaller, and our shared humanity became more important.
Twenty-five years ago, on the morning of September 11, 2001, our nation experienced a tragedy that forever changed America. For many of us, the memories of that day remain incredibly vivid. We remember where we were, what we were doing, and the disbelief we felt as we watched the events unfold.
As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember not only the tragedy, but also the courage, compassion, sacrifice, and unity that followed it.
Nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost that day in New York City, at the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. They were husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends, coworkers, first responders, and everyday people simply going about their lives.
For those of us who lived through that day, we carry its memories with us. For younger generations who know September 11 only through history, it is our responsibility to share those memories and the lessons they taught us.
Amid the heartbreak, September 11 also showed us extraordinary courage. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics, military personnel, and ordinary citizens ran toward danger to help complete strangers. Passengers aboard Flight 93 demonstrated incredible bravery, sacrificing their own lives in an effort to prevent further tragedy.
This September 11, take a moment to remember the lives that were lost, honor the heroes who answered the call, and appreciate the freedoms and people we sometimes take for granted. May we continue to choose kindness, look out for our neighbors, and remember how powerful we can be when we stand together.
In the days and weeks that followed, something remarkable happened. Americans came together. Neighbors checked on neighbors. Flags appeared on homes and businesses. People
We remember. We honor. We will never forget
