WINDSOR
Volume 18, Issue 9
September 2020 PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Friends, I hate masks! I long for the days when I can see the smiles of the people I pass on the street or in the store. I miss the days when I can grab Michele my beach towel and head to Compton, the pool on a whim. But, I am Board grateful for the creativity of our President staff and committee members who have provided concerts, classes and food trucks in spite of the challenges. Recently, in a discussion about the upcoming board election, Donna Sanford indicated she would like to hear what the candidates’ visions are for Windsor Gardens beyond COVID. That concept intrigued me. What are the elements that we dearly miss --- the parts of what we used to do that we want back in our lives? And, how do we want Windsor Gardens to look in the future? If we leave the port without direction we will probably not end up where we want to be. So it might be helpful to reflect on where we want to be. In some ways, we have the opportunity to recreate our community with what we liked best and to consider what we no longer want to pay for. One thing that came to mind is re-establishing a restaurant where we can gather with friends and family again. Where we can have catered events, and where we have a friendly bar. Other benefits of a community are a library where we can share good books and classes where we can exercise and learn new hobbies. I look forward to celebrations and fellowship. I believe we live in a community to benefit from pooling our resources to enjoy more things than we could do on our own. Enjoy what you can as we move ahead together!
