"Movie Under The Stars"

Despite the weather being a bit chilly and a lot of people were not in attendance the "Movie Under The Stars" was a huge success. Two movies were shown; Monsters vs Aliens and Monster House. Since the ground was still damp from the rain the movie was set up inside a homeowners garage. Blankets, jackets, popcorn and candy made for a nice cozy evening for everyone. There was even a local cat lounging around nearby. This movie idea really does bring the neighborhood together and the children always have a good time. Halloween is really going to be fun this year; I can't wait to see all the adorable costumes. I can't thank the Whistle enough for hosting these events and I look forward to what will be in the next newsletter. GO WINCREST WHISTLE!!!!!!

Poker night

Thank you to all who came to the poker game night! It was fun and a great way to meet new neighbors.

If any residents of Wincrest have any questions about Wincrest developement or board meetings feel free to contact the BOD at mailto:wincresthoa@yahoo.com .

Community Spirit

I just want to thank all those involved with the new Wincrest Whistle Newsletter. I have visited the "official website" for Wincrest but it doesn't hold a candle to the Whistle and I look forward to reading the next copy. So far each issue that comes out I see more and more evidence of a community geared towards bringing the community together. What a wonderful place to raise a family in. I have concerns about why the official website hasn't done anything to promote our neighborhood? No need to answer that but just know that your newsletter and website are a welcome edition to the neighborhood.

Movie Night

Thank you to everyone involved in this blog and for taking the time to put forth all of this effort and time. We all have busy lives some more than others, but not many that would take the time to take an interest and have community events like those I have recently seen. This is so positive as I have seen nothing done prior to your Whistle being established. I hope to be at your next movie I have seen advertised. May God Bless you all. PS excellent idea with the newsletter, looking forward to what's in store next month.

Newsletter #2!!

Hey Whistle this newsletter is great! Good job by all. You are a great group to see in this community. Keep going strong.

Police Called for Gun Fire

Hello Everyone,

I just called the police at 2:15 p.m. today 8/28/09. Gun shots heard coming from the woods behind Coral Bell Court. These were not rapid fire, just single shots. According to 911 operator another call came into them about gun fire. Officer was dispatched. Thank you.

Movie Under the Stars!

That was a great movie! Coraline is an animated movie by director Tim Burton. It was a blast sitting in my lounge chair, having a drink, eating popcorn and watching a movie in the common area. Wow, who's idea was that? The weather was perfect too, with just a light breeze and distant late-summer heat lightning to the south. There were lots of kids on the blankets up front with the older folks sitting in the back.

I think I heard that next month's movie is going to be an 80's classic??? I guess we'll have to wait until the next newsletter comes out. :)

Thanks to all who put this together and I can't wait to do it again!

Nite Under The Stars

What a wonderful "opening night!". The first of hopefully many more events went off without any problems. There was a nice breeze and the skies were clear. Popcorn, candy, soda and great people were all there to watch Coraline. I can't wait until next months "Nite Under The Stars" presentation. I think those involved did a bangup job and I wish them continued success with this. Those who couldn't make it this past Saturday should keep their eyes open for Septembers issue of the newsletter for the date of the next movie night. Great job everyone!

Common Area (Coral Bell Court)

Don't forget neighbors, mail in your suggestions for the common area. I myself will be sending in our request via sail mail but, I will be sending it in certified to ensure that the BOD receives the letter. Can't be to sure that there is no "Tomfoolery" going on. (wink)

Tracys Halloween Party

Hey everyone! mark your calendar for Friday, October 30, 2009 to attend Tracy and Robert Helms annual Halloween party. It starts at 7:00 p.m. until whenever so start thinking of a costume to wear cause a Halloween party isn't a Halloween party without costumes. More information will be forthcoming from Tracy herself.

Lucy Who?

You have some splainin to do... lol! We need more parties like the Mary Kay & Margarita one. Thanks ladies.... you all are awesome!

Vandalism Alert

It appears that the "R" in the Wincrest entrance sign has been painted over.

Great Deals

Check out Growers Outlet in Pineville for some awesome deals on plants, shrubs and trees at drastically reduced prices which will add value to your home. Concerning another matter, I am witnessing individuals who enter and exit the subdivision at excessive speeds. We all need to be mindfull that the neighborhood is full of children, cyclists, runners and walkers.

Thank You

Thank you to all who made the Mary Kay party such a success. It was nice to meet new friends and spend time with great neighbors. I have never had so much fun at a Mary Kay party. I am still laughing at the visuals of Lucy Ricardo.

Mary Kay & Margaritas

Thank you Robyn and Loraine for hosting such a wonderful and successful "Mary Kay & Margaritas" evening. A great turnout and lots of fun was had which made it so enjoyable and I can't wait for the next one. It goes to show you how much fun our neighborhood can be and it was great to see members of neighboring developments enjoying themselves as well. It will be great to see how many more events will start up thanks to the Newsletter and Blog. Congrats to the creator and contributors to both!! So when's the next party?

National Night Out 2009 - Shed a tear

What a shame that our own BOD would not participate in a National event this year. Last year we were having fun, meeting neighbors, listening to music, eating pizza and aiding children in some great games. We met some great law enforecment personell who gave our community some great ideas and tips on neighborhood safety. For those of you who helped out last year, your efforts did not go unnoticed. Your contirbution to the event was a success. I am proud to say that I was one of the planners of that event!
