Calendar Event Flyers ISSUE: 2 Recipes 9 Around Town We hope you are having a nice Fall. We have been having a fun time at the Amenity Center with the Oktoberfest and Fall Festival. We hope that you have enjoyed them as much as we have. Please check out our November activities on pages 3-8. Just a friendly reminder to please commit to your RSVPs for an event. When we have no shows it reflects on our budget and it is income lost. Please notify us if you need to cancel, so we can open the opportunity up for other residents. We are excited to announce that we have purchased four new treadmills, two new ellipticals and a new bike to replace the older models in our fitness center. You will see them being installed in about 3-5 weeks. We will keep you notified of the instillation date.
