This is a reminder to be sure and put a gallon of antifreeze down your sewer traps when you winterize your trailers. Our sewer traps are being damaged due to water freezing in the traps. Your cooperation with this will be greatly appreciated. * * * * * * Good News On a happy note, the water is scheduled to be turned on by April 19, 2008. * * * * * * President's Report SUMMER'S GONE!!! Where did it go? The summer of 2007 will go down in Windy Hill History as being just GREAT. We need to thank Joe for the continued magnificent job he does. No park anywhere looks better. Thanks also to Steve for the hours he spends doing our finances and in being Joe's fulltime shadow. Thank you to Linda Wheeler for her work on the Bylaws and her timely newsletter. Thanks to the activity committee for everything, their breakfasts were excellent and Halloween was more than fun. All of the activities are extremely appreciated. Thank you to Jim Parker and Tim Miner for their work as directors, and finally thanks to everyone who participated in our park, it is ours and it is the greatest, lets keep it that way. Over the winter, I hope the committee's will get together and plan for the 2008 year. Failing to plan is planning to fail. I hope everyone has a fantastic winter and holiday season. I hope you are looking as forward to the 2008 season as I am. Thank you for a great 2007 God Bless, Don Wheeler * * * * * * Donation On Saturday, September 22, 2007, your Board of Directors presented $500 to the Port Austin Fire Department.

Over half of the members have received their copy. After the water is turned off, those of you that have not received yours will receive them in the mail. Please remember that if you change your address or phone number forward those changes to me so that I can keep my member?s list up-to-date.
