A Holiday Tradition
There is a long standing tradition of lighting luminaries along our streets on the night of December 24th. We will be continuing this tradition this year. Luminaries are sold at the barn during and following the annual Holiday Children's Party. Dates: December 12, 7pm at the barn Packing the candles into bags - all valley residents are invited. It is always a fun event and a good way to meet your neighbors! December 14 (during and after the party) Sale of candles as well as various Trout Valley items; such as the calendar and stationery. We are also looking for kids who would like to earn a little cash of the the holidays. Some residents like to hire kids to set up their luminaries. If you are interested, please contact either Ann Somers - 847-639-1278 or Kristin Purtill - 847-639-1419. Thank you!

The Ponds
By now, most of you have seen a lot of activity down at the ponds, with water levels falling and rising again. Fear not - nothing calamitous will be happening. We are evaluating how best to remove all the excess silt that came in with that major summer storm, and how to repair the dams. We expect that the actual work will go on starting next Spring. In the meantime the ponds should remain full.
There's another study underway on how to mitigate the impact of future storms. More on that as bids come in and decisions are made.

Blast versus Newsletter?
We've recently had questions and requests for sending out email blasts to Trout Valley residents. These have included blasts for charitable donations and open houses. Most community information can be circulated in the weekly newsletter. The blasts are reserved for important and time-sensitive information. We want residents to know that when they receive a blast, they should read it as soon as they can, as it is something of concern for the community.
When we reject a blast request, we are trying to balance the need to communicate effectively and quickly with Trout Valley against the rights of the residents not to be overwhelmed with local messages. If we don't send out a lot of blasts, we hope those we do send get your attention. We appreciate your consideration.
Thanks, Bob Baker
