December 2023 PRESIDENT’S PEN At the end of the year, we sometimes reflect on the events that have led us here. We think of our accomplishments, travels, changes within our family, or the health Bobbie and wellness goals that Mays, we achieved or realized. Board Our reflections may President bring a smile, a show of concern, or perhaps thoughts of things we had hoped to do in 2023. The Windsor Gardens board and staff similarly reflect on the past year. We remember all the building representatives who went above and beyond their job description, contributing to a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere for all. And the folks who picked up trash, exhibiting how much they care for our community and others who helped by sorting their trash and recyclables before placing items in the bins. This list goes on and on. As we move towards 2024, let’s continue to treat our pipes with care, not using our garbage disposal to get rid of food or debris and not using drain cleaners, as this may trigger a faster breakdown of the pipes. By keeping our thermostat at 72 degrees, we’ll help prevent frozen pipes in our heat registers. We’ll help reduce the fuel needed to heat our units and common areas by keeping our doors and windows closed during cold weather. You probably can think of even more ways we all can continue to help in the new year. PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 4
