As April and I celebrate our 28th New Year's Eve on the Terrace -- exceeded only by our friend Lorraine Bailey as the neighborhood's longest residents -- I would like to mark the occasion by expressing our gratitude to all of you, new and not-so-new, for your contributions toward making the community the wonderful place it is.
We have experienced the windswept periods of construction -- including the holidays during which we decorated the chemical toilets on the grounds for the construction crews -- and watched your homes being built to the plantings of the original packages of trees and shrubs that now are being replaced as they age out, to the turnovers of residents as they, too, age out -- such wonderful neighbors as Russ and Rose Golino, Bob and Polly Hayward, Joe and Gerry Claeys, Harvey Bailey, Julia Austin, Charlie and Dorothy Crowley, Donna Mackey, Dorothy DeLuca, Bill Wade, Phil Steiner, Tory Clements, and on and on.
All that said, as the president of the Terrace at Highpointe Community Associaton for going on a second decade, I am profoundly grateful for your faith in repeatedly voting for me to continue leading our community and for the continuing willingness of our current Board members to work on your behalf to maintain services to our residents, keep costs below what we would have had to pay to a management company, and to be responsive to your many needs, all without pay and often without thanks.
That said, bless you all and a Happy 2024!
-- Bill Dowd
THCA President
