HOURS OF OPERATION
From Renee Hall, Club Director We have had a lot of interest in forming a Windgate Walking Group – all levels and ages. If you would like to join this group, please let me know so we can get started while the weather is nice. We have also had requests to form a Tennis Group. If interested in joining this new group, please email me your contact information – email address, phone number, level of play and availability, and I’ll create a list of participants. Once the list is complete, I will forward it to the group and you can start playing tennis with your Windgate neighbors and better yet, make new friends who enjoy the same sport you do! To reserve a tennis court, please log on to www.reservemycourt.com. Just create an account under Windgate Ranch. The site is very user friendly.
So many homeowners have inquired about babysitters, house sitters and dog sitter/ walkers in Windgate Ranch, especially with the summer months quickly approaching. If you have a babysitter who is interested in making some extra spending money, please email me so we can update our current list. Empty Nesters… If you’re new to Windgate, or have missed our event notifications, we would love to have you join in any of our monthly events: Water Aerobics, Stretch Class, Golf, Bunco, Knit & Whine, Book Club, Coloring. We also have ongoing activities and also monthly themed gatherings of our group. Call Sue (480) 203-9523 if you are interested. We welcome all new members.
When walking your dog in our community, please remember that it should be leashed at all times. Also, it is important to remember to immediately clean up after your pet. Take along a baggie with you to pick up waste and then dispose of it properly or grab one from the several baggie stations/disposals around the community that are provided for your convenience. By taking a few simple steps to clean up after your pet, you can contribute to the beautification of our community. Thank you for your cooperation!
