A total of 62 Windjammer residents gathered at Picnic Pointe to take part in our first Chili Cook Off. Ten chilies were entered into the competition, from white turkey chili to a vegetarian version. All were tasty and unique. Side dishes of cornbread, salads, chips and dips and of course sour cream and cheese accompanied the chilies. For over three hours we had a great time tasting chilies and visiting with friends and neighbors.

The top three winners of the event held on February 16 were Mary Spada, Derek Rauchfleisz and Mary and Dan Story. All winners received a Chili Champ apron for their prize.

Guests danced to the music of our own favorite musician, Corston Lane. Others enjoyed a game of cornhole.

Everyone agreed that the Picnic Pointe Pavilion is the perfect place for our Sunday Fundays. Our next party will kick off the new season on the third Sunday of October 2025 with our annual Oktoberfest.

In an effort to improve the appearance of our village, an early Spring Cleaning began late in January. Residents removed excess decorations and items no longer enhancing the look of the outside of their home and surroundings.

The cleanup in the storage shed began by adding new shelving to accommodate the tool and equipment storage for easy access. Randy Skipton and Rob Hummel spent a day putting up the shelves and sorting tools and equipment.

The grills by the pool were rusted out so new burners could not be installed. Two new grills were ordered and Tom Bell installed them in time for our Sunday-Funday on Sunday, January 26. They worked perfectly to cook 85 burgers for the party.

The new grills worked wonderfully well for the Sunday-Funday event.

The board is working on a plan for pool improvements to be implemented over the summer months, and the Landscaping Committee has plans for many improvements throughout the village. Of course, we always welcome volunteers to help with the many projects we have in the works. Please contact Tom Bell if you have time and talents to donate.
