Meet the Lentz Family
The Lentz Family moved into 219 River Drive in mid-January. We moved from Huntley where we spent the last 13 years. We have three children; Makenna 10, Delaney 8, and Conner 6. Tom works at Motorola Solutions and Meghan teaches in Crystal Lake. We are looking forward to our first spring and summer in "The Valley." Thank you to all of you who have welcomed us and we're looking forward to getting to know all our new neighbors.
If you are new to the neighborhood (in the past 2 years) and would like to be featured, please send your information to Vernie Vadnais at troutvalleynews@gmail.com
Thank you,
Vernie

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.

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
