FACILITATOR' S MESSAGE
The frigid and snowy weather has not stopped to progress of the villages. Two new groups are starting to form in the City! Several residents of the apartment/condo buildings in the Town Center area have begun discussing what their community organization might look like. The possibilities are seemingly endless. Also, residents of the townhouse community on Ivy League Lane held their first village meeting. They are surveying the community for feedback as to future progress. Stay tuned!
