Thanks to Jeff Rachal and Jesse and Mark Bodine for grinding away the road hazzard tree stump on Cedar at Meadow. Those of you who live and drive on the north side of Wilsonia know what a bad spot that has been… first with the narrow width clearance and then with the suspension killing low tree stump. Thanks guys!!

Thanks to everyone who moseyed on up to the Clubhouse last night for the Spaghetti Western Dinner. Diners, upon entering, were were treated to fantastic decorations (including a photo coral), and the delicious aroma of homemade spaghetti sauce. Many were dressed for the occasion in boots, western shirts and hats (pants and skirts of course). Thanks to the Mixters for cooking the spaghetti, sauce and meatballs. Thanks to Sara LoBue for cooking the delicious garlic rolls and providing salad and dessert. Thanks to Debbie Faszholz who provided the western decorations, and to Mark Bodine for setup and entertainment… friends and neighbors enjoyed viewing a classic Spaghetti Western movie while dining. Photos in comments, please add yours.
