Starting with the next issue, I would like to include a photo and write a few lines about a homeowner(s) in our complex.  Ideally I would like to stop by and take a photo of your family.  I think this would be a great way for all of us to get to know our neighbors.  If you want to volunteer for this feature, call Donna Beck.
