FAREWELL - We bid farewell to Heather McClory - Nevits. Heather and her husband (recently married!), has been with us since 2005 and enjoyed her wonderful loft unit. Good luck to you both.

WELCOME! - We offer a warm welcome to our newest resident, Abigail Cahill at 48 Forest Street. Welcome Aboard! Abby's arrival heralds encouraging news that the pace of sales here remains healthy as we climb out of winter doldrums. Our community offers a rustic setting in a historic building with a solid fiscal plan for capital components and a professionally managed operation.

ELECTION CLOSED - As of this April 7, we have 52% of ballots returned from the recent Annual Meeting, or afterwards in absentee fashion. The voting is now closed, and we formally welcome Pat Wood and Tony Rodolakis to the Board of Trustees. As we know, Tony has returned for a second term and is currently serving as Vice-President.

GARAGE DOOR - The 48 Forest garage egress unfortunately remains out of service. We have approved a repair scope with more favorable terms for us; however, new parts being shipped from the midwest are being held up at the manufacturer. As of April 4, we have learned that we are still two weeks or more away from the repair we need.

ROOF JOB OFF TO GOOD START - Eight heat pumps have been successfully disconnected and relocated in advance of the work commencement next week. Residents at the upper floors of 54 Forest may experience loud noises during the project and are advised to keep their windows mostly or completely closed during the day in case dust or debris escapes with the wind. This is one of the last sections of roof to be replaced since roof work began in earnest 10 years ago this very month. Careful financial planning on the part of the Board over the years enables us to stay on top of critical capital upkeep. Thanks to all for your continued support and cooperation.

PAT WOOD TO LEAD BOOK CLUB - Residents and friends of all ages and genders are welcome! The group will meet monthly in Pat's condo or in rotating condos. Be it fiction or non-fiction, what the group reads will be up to the members. This is also an opportunity for socializing over good food and chat, so make room in your life for a pleasant respite away from your hectic winter schedule and contact Pat: 781 219 3105 or patlwood@yahoo.com.

TRIVIA - Did you know that Medford High School counts among its alumni such notable figures as culinary icon Fanny Farmer, aviator Amelia Earhart, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg?
