By Sue Joninas Our Cresswind Welcome Committee continues to reach out to new residents with all of them being resales. Our members are sending cards, calling, and offering their support. We let the residents know they can call us, and we will help them in any way we can. We also find that neighbors on their street are reaching out to make them feel welcome. We hope some new residents will accept a visit very soon. We held a New Resident Orientation on March 30 for all new residents since November in the Ballroom at the Clubhouse. The staff of Cresswind was all introduced and gave a brief talk about the jobs they hold. We had a speaker from MTScapes. If you do not hear from a Welcome Committee Member within four to six weeks of closing, please contact me at sjoninas@gmail.com. We do not want to miss any new residents. Welcome to Cresswind!
