As Veterans Day approaches, our community extends its heartfelt gratitude to the veterans among us for their courage, dedication, and selfless service to our country. Each of you has a unique story and journey, and we recognize the sacrifices you have made, the challenges you have faced, and the commitment you have shown in serving something greater than yourselves.
We also honor the families and loved ones who have stood beside you, sharing in the sacrifices and supporting you throughout your service. Your contributions, both seen and unseen, have made a lasting difference, and we are deeply grateful.
To our veterans, we are proud to have you as our neighbors and honored to share this community with you. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our country. Please know that you are appreciated not only on Veterans Day, but throughout the year.
From all of us in our VO community, we offer our sincere thanks, deepest respect, and warmest wishes to you and your families. Your service will never be forgotten. Happy Veterans Day!

New Pool & EPC Access Wristbands
We now have a simpler way to get into the pools and the EPC Building without carrying a bulky badge. You can buy a wristband that unlocks the pools and EPC Building only.
Many residents told us it was hard to keep ID with them while swimming. With the new wristband, when Patrol asks for identification at the pool or EPC, you can just show the bracelet.
Available At: Admin Office
Current Price: $20.00 plus tax
