To my fellow Board Members:

The boxes are packed and the truck is scheduled to be here on Wednesday to take us to Allendale, IL.   My 25 year tenure as a board member has been a great experience I and have enjoyed with working for our neighbors to try to keep Orchard Valley as one of the best sub-divisions in Aurora.   At this juncture I truly believe  that the BOD is in excellent shape and having AMG on board will a make a great difference. At our last meeting I suggested that you ask Andy Woodward to fill my vacancy, as he was a previous BOD member but also has the qualities to understand this organization and is familiar with the issues.   So, Jean and I have truly enjoyed living here for the past 29 years and will remember all the nice people and friends that live in the area.   Best wishes and keep in touch.

P.S. Our new address is 109 No. Division Street, Allendale, IL 60410, so you can forward your Christmas greetings & Gift Cards.   Our e-mail is jborg2004@comcast.net
