Village Update

The Jim & Sherry Phenomenon

There seems to be a “Jim & Sherry” trend in Trawler Village! Three couples–Jim and Sherry Dagley, Jim (Doug) and Cherrie Craig, and Jim and Sherry Mott–all share the same first names. To celebrate, they hosted what may be the first weekly, monthly, or annual Jim and Sherry dinner at the Wheelhouse. While their friendships are strong, they quickly discovered they have nothing else in common hailing from different states, backgrounds, and hobbies. But isn’t that what The Landings is all about? Like summer camp, we come together every season to play, reconnect, and enjoy the lifestyle. Are there any other Jim and Sherry’s in The Landings who want to join the next dinner?

Valentine’s Party at Trawler Pool
Trawler Village residents gathered for the annual Valentine’s Day party, held at the Trawler Village pool. Around 60 people attended, each bringing a dish to contribute to a potluck feast. A one-man band set the tone for a night of mingling and dancing. A big thanks to the Trawler volunteers who made the event possible!

The Valentine’s Day party was a success.

4574 Carport Roof Update

After a long wait, we have finally received a second quote to rebuild the damaged carport roof at 4574. A third quote may be coming (we’ll see), but the Board plans to award a contract for this work at the February 26th meeting. Thank you for your patience as we move forward with repairs.

Fountain Light at 4585/4591

It appears that there is a short in the fountain light. Rocky Ford has been notified and is working to resolve the issue.

Reminders

Pool Umbrellas: Please put down umbrellas when finished using them. Winds can easily break the mechanism, making them useless.
Recycling Bins: Please break down boxes before placing them inside the bins. The bins are filling too quickly due to large, unflattened boxes. Also, no plastic bags! Empty your recycling and take plastic bags home.

Margarita Party March 15
By the time this article is published, the Margarita Party will have taken place on March 15. This popular event is always held on the third Saturday of March, with some residents even planning their guests’ visits around it. The Social Committee made the final arrangements, and full details of the event will be shared in next month’s article!

A Reunion to Remember
Rick and Kathy Jerr recently gathered with Ayaka, Kenji, Junpei, Hiromi, and Sushi at Paradiso 37 in Disney Springs for a special reunion. The memories flowed as they reminisced about Ayaka’s exchange experience at Pomfret School. Over the course of 14 years, the Jerrs hosted students from Japan, Germany, France, and Canada, creating lifelong bonds with several young students along the way.
