Hello Members! 

This message is your weekly reminder of upcoming events and important information for Walden Glen. 

THANK YOU!
Thank you for an incredible 4th of July BBQ! We hope everyone had a great time! It was our biggest turnout in years, and we couldn’t have done it without you! 

Shout outs to Mark and Eric for grilling, and to Roberta, Shannon, Alison, Pam, Brett and LeighAnn for your help before, during, and after the event.

🎉 Congratulations to Brian Webb, who took home the title for Best Tasting Wings this year—well deserved! 

We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to the burgers and hot dogs fund. Your generosity helps make events like this possible. If you didn’t get a chance to donate, it’s not too late! Simply scan the QR code at the Snack Shack and label your contribution as a “July 4th donation.”

Thanks again for being part of such a fun and memorable celebration!
