Little Free Library

The little free Library in front of our clubhouse needs your help. The mission of our Little free library is Take a book. Share a Book

Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Our mission is to be a catalyst for building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access for all through a global network of volunteer-led Little Free Library book-exchange boxes.

Our Little free Library has been extremely low in books, that means that lots are being taken out but not replaced. Can I encourage all the community to take books for the little free library? This will allow the community to be diverse and always have a book to read. If you find that there is no space please let me know and I am happy to keep them and then replenish the library when needed.

My son and I love to be part of the Little Free Library and spread the love of books.

Looking forward all your contributions.

Kind regards

David and Paula Oliveira

The Pool Party was a Blast!

We held our 3rd annual pool party this past weekend. It was a blast. We had more attendees than every. In fact, the pool and picnic areas were packed. We had plenty of food — grilling ~ 10 burgers and 24 hot dogs with sides. We had waters, sodas, juice. We had an adult bar with music on the deck. We also ate all the sno cones off the truck. Coincidentally, there were at least 3 new families that came to swim while the party was going on. What perfect timing to meet all their new neighbors.

Thank you to Matt Clark for the excellent music as always.

Thank you do Kim Nordin for grilling for ~ 3.5 hours straight.

Thank you to Sarah Read for advertising the event and coordinating food donations (and introducing us to the lifeguards we use each year).

Thank you to Debbie Wright and Arash Asgharian for the adult bar.

Thank you to Don Brennan and Bruce Nelson for sponsoring the sno cone truck along with me.

Thank you to all those who brought food to share, helped set up, and helped clean up. (David and Taiya Oliphant, Sarah Read, Stephen Read, Bryan Keefe, Kim Nordin, my children (against their will), Carolyn and Juan Castelblanco, Yadir Mafla, Erin Lorber, and others).

Until next year! Evelyn Nordin

Block Parties were a hit!

We had a great time at the block parties last week. On October 23, we had 7 block parties across the neighborhood. Each party had a good number of participants bringing the total to easily over 125 (maybe more). This makes the block parties the single highest attended social event that we have had in a very long time….particularly an event where residents stayed and visited a while. I want to send a special thanks to all of those who hosted….and thank you to the residents who attended making it worthwhile.
