resident reminders
January, the first month of the year. A perfect time to start all over again. Changing energies and deserting old moods. New beginnings, new attitudes. -Charmaine J Forde
Doors You may have noticed, the change in Wisconsin weather temperatures can often times impact the operation of the automatic doors and the mechanism used to properly close them. We kindly request that you take some extra time to ensure that all doors close behind you when entering and leaving the building. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Snowplow Awareness Be watchful of snowplows when it snows. If you have a car parked in the lot, please try and move it so the plow can clear the entire lot. The weather has been very unpredictable this season and we thank you for being patient.
Don't wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect. Zoey Sayward
Common Area Temperatures Community Room & Library temps are set to 72°-74° and hallway temps are set to 70°. Please contact the Resident Services Office if you notice any problems.

Slow Down You're Moving Too Fast friendly reminders for drivers in our community Patience is a virtue and in a parking lot and on the roads that connect our community buildings, that virtue can be tested. That patience, however, can preserve damages to your car, to other's cars, surrounding landscape, and the likelihood of injury to pedestrians. Please take things slow when driving in/out and around our community and parking lots. If you see someone speeding in the parking lot or surrounding areas of our community, please let the office know by providing a description to the best of your ability of the make/model and color of the speeding vehicle. Please also remember that the garage doors are set for sufficient time for one vehicle to pass through. We are not responsible for any damage to cars that "piggyback" each other to enter or exit the underground parking garage. While driving in the underground parking garage, please be aware and on the lookout for residents who may be walking in the garage to/from their cars as well as those around the waste receptacle area/recycling and trash.
To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold. -Aristotle
On January 17, 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Widely considered one of America’s most influential architects, Wright pioneered the Prairie School movement and designed iconic buildings like Taliesin in Spring Green. His philosophy of organic architecture emphasized harmony between human spaces and nature. Wright’s legacy continues to inspire architects around the world, with more than a dozen of his structures still standing throughout Wisconsin.

cozy things to do indoors during cold winter months
The tradition of New Year’s resolutions dates back over 4,000 years to the ancient Babylonians. During a 12-day festival called Akitu, they made promises to their gods to pay debts and return borrowed items—early versions of resolutions! The Romans later adopted similar practices, offering resolutions to Janus, the two-faced god of beginnings. Today, while fitness goals top most lists, only about 9% of people actually stick to their resolutions. Still, the hope of a fresh start keeps the tradition alive
Step 1: In a dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute chicken, onion, and garlic until chicken is lightly browned, above 5 minutes. STEP 2: Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized chunks. Return to pot. STEP 3: Add broth, beans, chiles, oregano, cumin, and cayenne. Simmer 30-40 minutes. STEP 4: To serve, place cilantro in bowls, ladle chili over, and top with cheese and salt to taste. Source: Allrecipes.com

Shelf Indulgence this month's book recommendation
White Chicken Chili This white chicken chili is full of flavor and ideal for a quick, hearty meal—especially on a cold winter night. And the best part is that it comes together easily in one pot and also freezes well, making it a great option for meal prep or leftovers.
