March 2022 PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Friends, In January the new committees “hit the ground running.” There is so much background and other information to absorb, Michele but the members were Compton, Board certainly up to the task. President They asked questions, gave their unique perspectives and made solid decisions. We are off to a great start. The focus of most committees in February is the end of the fiscal year and the budget for the next year. Every year this process gets more refined and more transparent thanks to the efforts of General Manager Rebecca Zazueta and Finance Committee Chair Mike Lopez. I hope you were able to attend the annual meeting on February 24 where a wealth of information was given. In looking to the rest of 2022, we have several things that will need our attention and support. The new restaurant has opened, and the owners are looking to grow and expand to meet the needs of our community. The changes in the golf pro shop and golf course will also need our support. As the committees continue their work, we will be looking at innovations such as electric car charging stations, communitywide internet, continuing the underground garage project, more diversity, equity and inclusion events and, of course, the 60th anniversary celebrations. If you have an interest in a specific area, please attend a committee meeting and give your input. I truly hope you feel included, inspired and hopeful for Windsor Gardens in 2022.
