Trout Valley News

Issue # 49

New Contact Information for Bernie in Maintenance

We've had a lot of problems in the past with Bernie's cell phone. The phone service was poor at best, and many of his emails and text messages were not getting through in a timely manner. We originally were going to switch using his old phone number, but that proved impossible. Ditto with his email address.

His new cell phone number is (224) 401-3128 for both voice and text messages. His new email address is troutvalleymain167@gmail.com. We may also eliminate the land line at the shed as Bernie is seldom there.

If you have any new work requests for Bernie, please contact either Steve Gerard (grd55@aol.com- 847-791-6745) or Wally Zimmerman (zimmerw1@sbcglobal.net -847-682-8500) so we can prioritize this work appropriately.

Tennis Club News

Saves These Dates

The Trout Valley Tennis Club has been a vibrant part of Trout Valley for 41 years, because tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The courts were resurfaced last year, and continue to offer a picturesque setting where you never have to wait for a court! Many of our residents have benefitted by becoming members of the club, by taking lessons from a pro, or by participating in fun, social events that the club has offered. The major renovation took place last year, but resealing and other upkeep is needed to keep the courts beautiful. Two fundraising events are back by popular demand:

Trout Valley "Roll for the Roses" Bunco Night!

Friday, May 2nd from 7-10 p.m. at the Barn

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
