Condo IV – February 2025
As I sit here writing this newsletter (beginning of January) it’s almost 60 degrees out and very mild. So far we have been very lucky and have not experienced any major snow storms. Let’s hope it continues and we have an early spring.
Reminder: There will be no condo IV meetings for the winter; all work orders will be handled as usual as any emergencies. Please go on to the Bretton Woods website https://brettonwoodshoa.org/work-orders and click on the work orders tab. Please remember to put your name, address, and phone number.
Reminder: We are all connected through the pipeline. Please avoid clogging it up for all. Cooking oils, fats, and grease do not belong down the drain, store it in a plastic bag, can or jars and dispose it in the dumpster with your trash. Cotton balls, diapers, q-tips, female personal products, and tissues should not get flushed down the toilet.
Again we have to stress how important it is to have the number on your house put on your fence or door. When walking around we have noticed many don’t have a house number anywhere, numbers are incomplete or hidden by shrubs and bushes. In case of an emergency, it is extremely important so that the firemen, EMS, or police can see your number clearly.
Remember: There are still many people out of work and in need of food. Whether it’s food, money, clothing, or time, there are many ways to give to our neighbors in need. Every $1.00 provides 2 meals to people. If you have sweaters, blankets, clothes, or coats, please consider donating them to a local church, thrift stores, and the homeless and needy.
Please check on your neighbors especially the elderly. Maybe they need assistance with a computer and ordering food online. Sometimes a pleasant “hello” makes someone feel better!
CONDO IV CONTINUED – FEBRUARY 2025
Special thanks and appreciation to Jack Schroeder for overseeing the tree trimming of many dead trees and branches. He stood out in the freezing cold each day to show which trees were to be cut. We’d also like to thank our residents for moving their cars when needed.
Days to Remember & Holidays and Observances:
February 2nd – Ground Hog Day – If the sun is shining when the groundhog comes out of his burrow and he sees his shadow, he will go back in and we will have winter for 6 more weeks. If it’s cloudy and there is no shadow, we will have an early spring!
February 9th Super Bowl Sunday: Final game of the football season. Millions of people will tune in and more than millions of chicken wings, tortilla chips, and guacamole will be consumed.
February 14th – Valentine’s Day- A celebration of romantic love. Red roses, chocolate, hearts, and pictures of cupids are all symbols of Valentine’s Day. (40 million heart-shaped chocolate boxes are expected to be sold) Nearly 250 million roses are grown for preparation.
February 20th – President’s Day – A National Federal Holiday- This day commemorates George Washington, our first president, and all past presidents of the USA. All schools, banks, and federal offices are closed. Be a proud American and fly the American flag!
A smile is a symbol of your strength. It can add warmth to a conversation. It can brighten up somebody’s day in so many ways. It has the power to inspire
