It’s Been a Wonderful Year!

As the year draws to a close, the Lanark Village Association’s Board of Governors would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support and participation in our community. We are grateful for your contributions and involvement, which help make our neighborhood a great place to live.

This past year, we have accomplished so much together, including hosting regular social events such as Bingo, Game Night, Coffee with Friends, Thirsty Thursday weekly potluck, Chair Exercise, and Zumba.

We thought of new ways to serve you and initiated Breakfast with Friends. Join us on Tuesday mornings to start the day with your neighbors. And some caffeine.

We celebrated holidays together with the Valentine’s Day Dance and Dessert, a Halloween party, and community meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We organized successful fundraising events such as the Silent Auction and Chili Cookoff.

Our neighborhood’s common areas got a boost as volunteers worked together to clean up the Warren Avenue property. Other maintenance projects included removing a dead tree, replacing a section of fencing at the storage yard, and replacing the water heater and dishwasher at Chillas Hall.

We hosted workshops focused on topics relevant to our community, such as disaster preparedness,  emergency response, and navigating electronic access to our members meetings.

We honored long-time volunteer Aileen Benson with a luncheon and the dedication of flowering bushes on the lawn of Chillas Hall.

But it doesn’t stop there. We have other exciting plans for the upcoming year. One project we hope to accomplish is making Chillas Hall more accessible for all through the purchase and installation of new front doors and an automatic door opener. We hope to make progress with the ongoing work of turning our Warren Avenue property into a space that is welcoming, useful, and safe for residents. We also plan to install new fence posts in the storage yard to enhance security for our renters.

Most importantly, we want to continue providing lots of opportunities for residents to get to know one another, nurture friendships, and enjoy being part of a fun-loving, supportive community.

We look forward to another rewarding year with you all.
