Dear Oak Creek Residents,
Fall is here! My favorite time of the year. The yummy smells, the crisp air and the beautiful
colors. I hope this season brings you joy, relaxation and time with family and friends.
It was great to see many of you at the Oak Creek picnic at the park. It was a beautiful day and
a wonderful turnout. I hope you enjoyed your boxed lunch, the festive music and the raffle
drawing. Congratulations to all the lucky winners!
I also want to give a big “thanks” to the Club Team for putting on this fun filled event and for
all the Oak Creek Team members who helped out.
Please make sure to look for the October events by going to the Oak Creek website and clicking
on the Oak Leaf. In addition, you can find all the events posted above the mailboxes in your
lobby. Please make sure that you sign up before the posted deadline and remember that you
do need your Oak Creek ID to attend all events. Thank you for your cooperation.
Wishing you a warm fall season.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Landers Property Manager
