Liberty Lakes Condo Association

Yesterday we hiked an hour at Lakewood with Patti and Dave, and for the fourth time this month, rain forced us to shorten our hike. In fact, we just got back to the cars moments before the deluge descended. Today it was cold but sunny and we hiked in Deer Grove Forest Preserve and were pleased to hear and see birds again after the long winter. We also saw a deer for a change (Ellen has begun calling this place "Deerless Grove.")

Then in the evening I attended the 2nd Annual General Meeting of my townhouse community where the board updated residents on the past year's activities and marked the end of the terms for our first Board of Directors. It was evident from the reports and discussions that their first term was packed with huge problems and many significant accomplishments by this tireless group of dedicated residents who tackled the weighty issues facing our young association. The group met 25 times during their 12 month tenure to serve the residents and help forge a solid foundation for our new community. We residents owe a debt of gratitude and heartfelt thanks to these talented and dedicated people! Below are (l to r) treasurer Bruce Phillips, president Mark Chavin, secretary Nicole Zanon-Toche, vice-president Thomas Preston, and director Chris Stec.
