Volume 19, Issue 1
January 2021 PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Friends, Over the years we have developed a unique structure for committees at Windsor Gardens. Currently we have 19 Michele committees. Formerly, Compton, they consisted of only Board board members, but a President few years ago the board decided to ask residents to also serve on committees. We, as a community, have benefited from the experience, research and advice these additional committee members have brought to the table. It was my pleasure in December to make the committee assignment recommendations to the Board of directors based on the committee interest forms that were submitted. We received 37 forms this year compared to 45 that were received last year. Everyone that submitted a form was assigned to at least one of the committees requested. Thank you to all who are willing to share your time and talents to improve our community. I’d like to share with you some of the answers these volunteers gave to the question “What do you wish to accomplish as a committee member?” I was struck by the honest and heart-felt answers this year. Here are a few: Improve community life and help bring back activities. I would like to help prevent social isolation. PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 5
