Summer Lakes Holiday Party Set for Sunday, December 13th

Summer Lakes Neighborhood
Annual Holiday Party

Sunday, December 13, 2009
5:00 – 8:00 pm

At the home of
Donna & Bill Taylor
308 Summer Wind Court

Change of plans this year – to make our celebration a true FEAST,
each family is asked to bring BOTH an appetizer AND desert.

We’ll have wine, beer, soft drinks and coffee available.
You’re welcome to BYOB.

Special Treat – it’s expected that Santa will make a special visit and enjoy the fellowship of Summer Lakes neighbors; both the little ones and grown-up’s.

A Time to Give Back! Let’s utilize our neighborhood celebration as a time to help neighbors elsewhere in Aiken County. Please bring with you at least one canned good for each person attending. We’ll take our bounty to the Salvation Army Pantry on Aiken’s northside.

To help with planning, please RSVP by Monday, December 7th
Leave a message for Donna & Bill at 641-2343

What a Difference a Planting Day Makes!

Hats off to everyone who helped with the planting of trees and plants to beautify the entrance to our neighborhood. A special 'Thank You' goes to the Landscaping Committee: Phil Rosbach (Chairman), Roger Pizio, Kurt Rudolph, Kathy Kent and Donna Taylor. Thanks also to Atlantic Coasts' Jimmy Luquire for his assistance with this major improvement. A total of 325 plants and 25 trees have been added to the entrance area.

Thanks to the Entrance Enhancement Committee!

From: Pat Dickerson:

I would like to express my appreciation to the committee for the enhancement of our entrance to the Summer Lakes community. I believe it was headed up by Phil Rosbach, but I do not trust my memory to name all of the members.

The plantings are gorgeous and we got a very good price on them. Atlantic Coast chipped in to help with the lighting system and the irrigation system and the dirt as well as some of the heavy labor. The committee was out early to get the plants arranged by groupings and had the irrigation system marked off. There were maps of each area so that we could easily see where each of our plants were to be planted. The whole thing was so well organized that the job came off with very little problem. It shows what pre-work can do for a project and I think everyone involved did a wonderful job. The coffee and doughnuts were great, too!

Kudos also to the people of Summer Lakes!!! You turned out for this project and worked hard so that we were through by noon. I just had to walk back up there before sundown to look at the wonderful difference you made in our community. Thank you! It makes me very proud to live here.
