Dear Homeowners,
We have exciting news to share! The Palisades has been asked to host the 2021 High Performance Cross Country Camp of Windermere. The three day event benefiting 8th through 12th grade runners will include workshops, training activities, and exceptional guest speakers from some of the State's cross country greats.
The workshops and training activities will take place in an area near the Community Center. On Wednesday, the athlete's will run the very first Palisades 5k on the green space. The coaches will be marking the course on Sunday, July 18th. The camp will take place on Monday, July 19th through Wednesday, July 21st with the daily activities beginning at 9am on Monday and 10am on Tuesday and Wednesday. The activities will end at 2pm each day. The Palisades 5k is scheduled for Wednesday beginning at 11:30am. We encourage homeowners to bring lawn chairs to your backyards and cheer these young people on. This is a great way to support the youth and encourage them to spend time doing worthwhile activities. Please avoid parking at the Community Center during the workshop times as staff and runners will be using the parking lot.
Attached you will find a schedule of events and a map of the course. It is very exciting to have been asked to host this event on our beautiful property. Please welcome the staff and student cross country runners to the neighborhood.
COMING UP.... As an extension of this event, we will be hosting a one day regional cross country event on September 18th from 6am to noon. This one day event will be much larger with 30 to 40 high schools participating. The great news is that this six hour event will be an opportunity for the HOA to earn money to assist with some of the projects the community has an interest in completing. We will be putting the funds earned toward renovating the RV Lot. It will take more than this event to fund that job but it will give us a good start. We are putting together a sub-committee to investigate other income ideas for this event since we will have a number of visitors on site. If you are interested in being a part of the sub-committee, please email Steve Paige, Income Committee Chair at stephen.m.paige@hotmail.com
Enjoy watching the local athletes next week!
