Clubhouse 10 Anniversary th
May CARTOONS
The first cartoon to be printed in an American newspaper was published 264 years ago this month (May 9, 1754) by Benjamin Franklin in the Pennsylvania Gazette. It showed a snake cut into sections, each part representing a colony, over the caption, “Join, or die.”
Pepper Noble, talented Woodbridge artist, has been creating cartoons for Woodbridge LIFE every month since the newspaper’s inception in October 2011. See page 7 for this month’s clever Bedford and Hancock cartoon. (If you are not familiar with the two bird characters, each represents one of the original Woodbridge models: Hancock, the smallest floorplan, and Bedford, the largest.)

Lakeview Clubhouse is the focal point and center of activities for the Woodbridge community.
Lakeview Clubhouse Celebrates 10th Year By Mike Spence
W
oodbridge’s Lakeview Clubhouse is nearing its 10th birthday. Here is a bit of its interesting history and some fun facts about the building itself. The Clubhouse was planned as the focal point of the Woodbridge community but when the first sales were begun in
2006, the Clubhouse was a set of drawings, artist conceptions and sales personnel assurances. The first home closed escrow in December 2006. There was a parking lot near the tennis courts with a trailer used as a surrogate Clubhouse. Clubhouse construction did not begin until late 2007 and wasn’t completed until 2008. Lake Rockwell was actually finished first. See clubhouse anniversary pages 18-19
