What's the message?

It is a bit tough to understand what we are to read into the decision to remove the playground facilities in Wingspread. Coming so soon after the annual meeting one wonders why there was no mention of this at that meeting. I recall hearing only one complaint about someone getting splinters on a piece of equipment but that seems a small price to pay for a place to play.
Are we becoming so cost conscious that we willingly give up on some of the items that attracted us to Wingspread in the first place? Do we want to let it be known that "kids are not welcome here"? Can it be that this area was within the bricks and is of less importance to the community? How do you see this?

Thanks Anyway, Ron

It seems a great waste that Ron Dorrell has decided to discontinue his work for the community. Ron says that when he was told he could no longer talk to either the lawncare contractor or to the management company it was fairly obvious that the job of the Landscape Committee was too compromised to allow normal functioning.
Our hats should be off to Ron for his outstanding service in working with DeMarco to significantly improve the appearance of Wingspread. One look at the return of the Vetch to the banks speaks to how a knowledge-based approach works to restore the foliage. We are indebted to you, Ron, and express our appreciation. Your expertise will be missed.
