WELCOME TO NOR’WOOD RECREATION CENTER Nor’Wood Recreation Association No.1 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Newsletter WWW.NORWOODASSOCIATION.COM

BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Rudy Trujillo-President NorwoodAssocPres16@gmail.com Jim Beckham-VP/Ops Director NorwoodAssocVP16@gmail.com Vacant-Secretary NorwoodAssocSec16@gmail.com Norman Wakerley-Treasurer NorwoodAssocTres16@gmail.com Derika Hacker-Social Director NorwoodAssocSocial16@gmail.com Cindy Beckham-Communication Director NorwoodAssocCommo16@gmail.com Candace Brooks-Director At Large NorwoodAssocDirAtLrg16@gmail. com Alan Teets, CMCA, AMS Community Association (CA) Manager ateets@AssociaColorado.com

A NOTE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Norwood residents, we have made it through the grip of winter. As we dust off the garden tools, fire up the grills, and turn on those sprinklers let us take a minute to look over this first issue of the “Grapevine”. You will find a schedule of this year’s events including three movies in the park. Also, included are instructions on how to secure your new key cards. We have a new system this year so your old keys will not work. It is important we act now to insure easy access when you want to use the pool or sign up the kids for lessons.

For any of you interested in a new challenge we have added pickle ball stripes to our tennis courts and a number of residents started classes in the fall. It is fun, it is great exercise, and it is becoming an extremely popular outdoor activity.

Our bathroom remodel project is progressing nicely and will be completed by pool opening, and under budget.

Our most significant change this year you may not even notice. In keeping our commitment to improve service to our residents and minimize costs and liability, our pool is now managed by a professional pool management company. You will see the same friendly faces and the same commitment to your family’s safety and enjoyment, all while being run more efficiently.

Here’s wishing you a very safe and enjoyable summer!
