… We enjoy our yearly BBQ which is usually celebrated poolside. We will just be doing more activities like that but often with fewer individuals.

Attendance is purely voluntary and the cost of the dinner is on your own. The pool excerise group can see who plans to attend, if the activity is posted here. This site can be used by residents …

Outdoor Movie Nights! When Chicago's warmer summer weather allows it, we set up an outdoor movie night each month to take advantage of the season (generally May - Sept). In October, when it gets a bit too cold for movies, we set up a haunted house and pumpkin patch.   The lawn space opens early for people to spread out their picnic blankets, mingle with their friends and neighbors, and grab a bite to eat. Before show time - we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are …
