Directory of Residents

Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:47:03 +0100

I have hidden the Directory of Residents page on the website due to recent concerns regarding the security of the information. This is a free website I created on my own and does not have a secure login. The site has been live for a couple of years now without incident.

In any case, I will email a pdf copy of the directory to everyone I have a valid email address for, and everyone will need to save the pdf or print out a hard copy for their records. I will send a new copy every time I add a new entry or make a change.

Outfitting the Clubhouse

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:48:17 +0100

A special thank you to Marie Claypoole and Sue O'Toole! The ladies went on a shopping spree to purchase items that will be available for your use at the clubhouse. This will eliminate the need to carry in/ take home these items every time you reserve the clubhouse. Some of the items they bought:

Silverware - service for 24
Drawer inserts for the silverware
Various utensils - spatula, corkscrew, can opener, knives
Four more folding chairs
Pot holders
A 12-cup coffeemaker
Ice bucket
Toilet brushes
Cutting boards
A rug for the entryway
Pots and pans
Plastic tumblers (16)
Garbage bags

Also, Linda Kincel donated the glass dishes that are already in the cupboard - service for 32. We discussed what additional items we needed at the October 29th get-together and Marie got the approval from Jim Rumbaugh to submit the receipts for reimbursement. Please remember to clean whatever you use so it's ready for the next person, and replace whatever consumables you use (toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc).

New website

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:51:44 +0100

The new community website is going live! I'm hoping this will be a vibrant, active community and created this website to serve as a clearinghouse of information. We have an email address, theislesatthehighlands@yahoo.com. Please feel free to email any suggestions of what content you would like to see here. I hope we will be able to have some sort of scheduled group event at least quarterly. We have a beautiful clubhouse and now a pool - let's make the most of it!

Pool Trespassers

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:28:35 +0100

Our long-awaited pool was officially opened on August 18, 2011. A mere ten days later, police were called just before 4am about drunken trespassers using the pool. When the patrolman arrived, the suspects had gone, but wet footprints were everywhere and a beer can was left behind. The cop had driven past at 3am and said there was a loud Steeler pre-season game party still going on in the garage of one of the homes on lower Glengarry. Denny and I could hear them most of the night but only called the police when we could hear splashing and saw several figures moving about in the dark. The next morning we discovered spilt beer and vomit by one of the chaise lounges. I sent an email to Bret, Jim and Jill informing them of the incident. Bret said they would be installing motion lights and cameras as soon as possible.
