Over the years Meadow Lake Entrance has been kindly and efficiently cared for by several of our residents. These people have gone beyond the call of duty and deserve a pat on the back for their devoted service to the quality of life in our neighborhood. Some of them have been Board members and some have quietly raised a hand to help without any notice or recognition from the rest of us. I am sure that there are those who have slipped through the cracks without recognition at all. To the Board members and all of the following, please accept our thanks.
Here are some of our hardworking neighbors who have taken on much of the task of keeping our neighborhood looking great.
Nancy Logan not only volunteered as Secretary/Treasurer for many years, she has assembled and co-ordinated volunteers and contractors for Meadow lake Entrance for 20 + years.
Nancy and her husband Bob have watered the Iroquois Entrance planter weekly through years of annual growing seasons. Nancy and Bob live on Oakvale.
John Logue ( his parents live at corner of Meadow lake Road and Williamsburg) maintains the front entrance through-out year, planting seasonal flowers Spring and Fall, mowing, trimming shrubs, weeding, fertilizing, mulching and generally keeping the entrance looking good when it needs attention. John is paid a low monthly fee for his services to our neighborhood.
Joe Wehymeyer (on Arnold Rd.) has volunteered to change light bulbs when necessary and carries out general maintenance of the walls, guard house, etc. at the Meadow lake Entrance.
Joe winterizes the irrigation system in Fall making sure that it is blown out and maintains start-up each Spring.
Burt Brown (on Lenox Rd.) replaced picket fence between brick walls at entrance when it was needed.
Burt often volunteers to maintain picket fence and shutters on guard house by scraping, painting and general maintenance. He also put plywood on the guard roof when storm damaged it recently to temporarily protect the guard house until it could be restored properly.
Anne Ward ( on Arnold Road) has volunteered for the past few years in Spring to provide and plant flowers in the Iroquois Entrance planter at corner of Williamsburg Road and Franklin Road. Anne lives on Arnold Rd.
Judy Moser (Meadow Lake Road) volunteered to study the best solution for the Christmas lights at Meadow lake main entrance taking into consideration our carefully managed budget.
Now, because our guard house is being demolished, the task is at hand to design a new entrance. Please be patient and thankful that we have such fine volunteers working on the many facets of this project. It is not an easy task based on our neighborhood budget restraints, but, a new look for our neighborhood is just ahead of us. (If you know any names of volunteers that I have left out, please let me know so we can also thank them.)
Stay informed about our neighborhood entrance project. There could be something requiring a skill you may have!
