Stealing the idea of a community dinner at the Wheelhouse from Ariel, Steamboat Bend East planned a Holiday dinner for about 25 residents on December 11, 2025. Thanks to the wonderful planning of Jan Davis and Darlene Kratz there was great […]

This month’s Trawler Spotlight shines brightly on Doug and Melissa Hall, Connecticut natives, who moved into their condo in October of 2024. Doug and Melissa attended neighboring high schools in northeast Connecticut and met as adults at Plainfield’s landmark club, The Music Lady. Melissa attended Windham Hospital’s School of Radiologic Technology and has been employed […]

A total of 75 guests joined us at Picnic Pointe on a beautiful sunny afternoon for our annual Christmas Gathering. With 26 additional guests over last year’s attendance, we were glad that we didn’t run out of Christmas ham! We are expecting an even larger group next year, so we’ll definitely prepare for that. As […]

More than 300 residents attended the Veterans Day service at Picnic Pointe. A commemorative wreath to honor those who had served and sacrificed was presented by Scott Varnado (front), Scott Dustin, (back left) and Mike Humphreys (back right). The chilly, blustery weather on November 11 seemed appropriate for the occasion.

November is recognized as Veterans and Military Families Month in the United States, in honor of the sacrifices of United States veterans and their families. It is always a meaningful time for veterans wherever they are, but for Landings vets, this November was especially meaningful. It was early in the month that our association was […]

The Trawler spotlight shines brightly on this month’s newest residents, Debbie and Ken Harrison, who summer in Watkins Lake, Michigan. Ken, from Missouri and on a job search in Chicago, spied Illinois native Debbie across the proverbial crowded room, in this case a bar, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Debbie studied business at Western […]
