Reminiscing on Family Fun Day!!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Family Fun Day on Friday. We had a great time with you. For all you newbies, it was so great to get to know you and to everyone else it was wonderful catching up.  

There is nothing greater for the team of CA's than to see such a great community come and have fun together. This is truly one of the best places to live, voted the friendliest neighborhood in the entire valley by David and Sarah Miller from West Desert Village.

Highlights of the day include Rock and Gavin laying siege to the tunnel in the obstacle course.  I guess the obstacle course won't mess with those preschoolers again. They mean business! Award for fastest time on the obstacle course goes to Evan Rains. Award for slowest on the obstacle course goes to Tiffany Downey (she didn't even try). Award for coolest person in attendance goes to David Miller (close second: Will Smith). Thanks David for keeping it cool!

We hope everyone had a great time playing ping pong in the activity room over at the community house today. Special thanks to Kat and James for letting us use their ping pong table. 

You might be surprised to know that the day started out with disaster! As we were setting up our canopy things outside before the event, the wind came up under them and carried them off to the land of OZ. On their way back down, they crashed into the roof and broke into unfixable pieces. Though this had the potential to ruin the day, it was so funny seeing the canopies flying halfway to the moon that we couldn't stop laughing. Needless to say, if you have a canopy tent, tie that sucker down! We learned our lesson.

We have gone green!

This month the family housing staff sent out our newsletters electronically to our residents' emails. If you did not get the email with the newsletter, you can leave your email(s) of choice as a comment here and we will be sure to send it to you.

This is what the email said:

"Dear Neighbor,

In an effort to be good to our environment the monthly housing newsletter is now being delivered electronically. By delivering the newsletter via email we save nearly 25,000 sheets of paper each year! In the attached newsletter you will find information about upcoming events and services on campus. Occasionally you will also receive emails reminding you of special events. In addition to our online newsletter we invite you to get connected through our blog: www.wchfamily.blogspot.com and to join our facebook group: wch family. It is our hope that these are convenient ways to share information with our residents while also reducing our impact on the environment. If you would prefer to not receive these emails simply reply with the heading ‘unsubscribe’ and we will remove you from the list. Thank you and see you in March!

Your Community Assistants,

Adam, Dallas, Jason, Josh, Kat, Sarah & Tiffany"

We are hoping to be able to reach you all better this way and be able to connect more often and effectively. Let us know what you think about it!
