Tomorrow is the 1st of February and its supposed to be 65 degrees! In the next couple of days, most residents will have received their Chatterboxes and hopefully seen my ad introducing this new website about Shadow Lake Village.
I want you to know, this is a work in progress. While I've spent an enormous amount of time adding content to this website, its never going to be complete. I will keep adding news, pictures, information - as I find it. I'm hoping it becomes a go-to place when residents (and those interested in becoming residents) need information.
So, I hope you like what you see already, but just know, there's a whole lot more to come. Enjoy and please share your thoughts about my new site!

Last night, 'Fabulous Fakes' hopefuls met at the Clubhouse for the first get-togther of the year. There was a big crowd including lots of new faces! Director, Marlene Ellman reviewed some of the music for the show and went over rehearsal times, etc. The dates for the show: June 13th, 14th and 15th. Obviously, tickets are not on sale yet, but my advice to you is: Get'em early! This show will sell out fast! Yours truly can't wait to get her "hammy" self back on stage, LOL. Stay tuned for more updates, though my lips are somewhat sealed ;-)
PS: Every resident that showed up, made it into the cast!
PSS: A good time was had by all.
No complaints from me! January 21st, it finally snowed! Most of the snowbirds missed this one! If you're reading this from sunny Florida or anywhere else, rest assured that those of us braving winter in New Jersey are doing just fine. Our new landscaper/snow remover (should be a more concise way of saying that) did a spectacular job of clearing the streets, and the sidewalks too. Kudos to them for a job well done!
Someone who shall go nameless, told me he played golf yesterday! Unseasonably warm weather is upon us. Like I said, no one is complaining.
Above is proof positive, Shadow Lake Village is enjoyable all year round.
FROM OUR ECONOMIST - NAR released its pending home sales index figure last week, and for the second month in a row, the index is up. What's more, the index has broken 100. That's significant because the only other time the index has hit 100 in recent years is when the home buyer tax credit was available. "It is the natural, organic power of great affordability conditions and job creation that is bringing the index level up," says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "This is a very encouraging sign."

Many residents kicked off the new year at a fabulous party held at the clubhouse. They dined on Filet Mignon and Poached Salmon and were, once again, entertained by the DJ services of "An Affair to Remember."
We have many talented individuals living here at the Village and they devoted a ton of time and energy planning the party and transforming the clubhouse into a winter wonderland! They are to be congratulated!
Here in the Village, we're experiencing beautiful weather on this first day of Winter. Perfect day to enjoy the golf course. Last night, the Republican club held their annual Christmas party in the clubhouse - a good time was had by all! Stay tuned for more of Shadow Lake Village "happenings."
