WALDEN WORD EXCERPTS

(1994 - 2003)

Here’s a slice of life from Walden published nearly 30 years ago in Walden Word, a newsletter by Walden Golf and Tennis Club. Enjoy these tidbits from yesteryear!

JUNE 1999

SPRING ISSUE 1996 ASSOCIATION NEWS: Ravines West association was recently formed and has sixteen occupied units. Since many of this group have recently moved in, their only reason for getting together is for social reasons and to establish a group of officers to lead them. Their first group of officers include Russell Shaw, President; Charles Davis, Vice President; and Jim Gosser, Secretary/Treasurer.

MAY 1998

MAY 2000

BOOKWORMS: Our speaker, Ann Womer Benjamin, is a resident of Aurora and our State Representative. She will be our final speaker for the Bookworms series this year. She will be directing her comments toward how the legislature works in Columbus. We know her as a very active and visible person in the Aurora community and this will be a great opportunity to hear her speak and interact with her regarding questions you may have.

’99 TENNIS: With the world coming to an end because of the Y2K problems, this may be your last season to ever play tennis, so you better take advantage of it (haha). While that is a bit extreme, we have some fun programs to participate in and offer lessons for all levels and abilities.

— Torey McNeil

JUNE 1998

TENNIS NEWS: This summer, Torrey McNeal, USPTA teaching professional, will be running the tennis program at Walden. Torrey is coming to us from the Racquet Club of Boca Raton where he worked this past winter. Before that, Torrey lived in Banbridge, where he has been teaching tennis since 1987.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Just a few observations and few comments from the NOGA Club Professional and President’s Event: “Walden — what a lovely community.” “Your golf course from the back tees is one of the toughest tests in golf in northeast Ohio.” “Walden has two of the best dining facilities in the area, and how’s the new Country Inn?”

— John E Sloe, Advisory Board President
