The Lullwater Estate Activities
The Lullwater Estate has a number of well-attended recurring gatherings throughout the year. These include an annual assembly meeting, spring and fall socials, Board of Directors meetings, and other holiday-themed events.
Annual Meeting
The regular annual meeting of the membership of the Association is held during December of each year with the date, hour and place to be set by the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting, comprehensive reports of the affairs, fincances and budget projections of the Association shall be made to the Lot Owners.
"Literary Ladies," the Lullwater Estate Book Club
Women here in our community have probably always lent each other books, or at least recommended them, but a few years ago, some of us decided to form a group to discuss books. We read mostly fiction, like Alice Munro's Pulitzer winner Dear Life, or Muriel Barbery's The Elegance of the Hedgehog, but sometimes non-fiction, especially biographical, as Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, or Martin Goldsmith's Inextinguishable Symphony. We've read classics by Faulkner, and modern works by such as Barbara Kingsolver, Anne Tyler, Elizabeth Strout and Annie Proulx. Special interests, like adoption and Alzheimers Disease, or fascinating cultures like Japan and Tudor England, have also been topics of books we've read.
Open to any women living at Lullwater Estate, this group meets monthly in one another's homes, gathering at 3:30 for chatting and snacking, and beginning the book talk at 4:00. Our meetings are usually on Thursdays.
A list of the books we've read in the group can be seen here.
Board of Directors Meetings
The Board of Directors meets monthly except August and December. Meetings minutes are posted on this website under the MEMBERS tab.
Committee Meetings
Lullwater Estate has a number of standing committees that meet regularly to advise the Board of Directors. The committees are as follows: Landscaping, Infrastructure, Media, Social & Welcome, Architectural Control, Woodlands Advisory, and Community Garden. If you want to get involved, this is the best way to start!
Fall Social
The Lullwater Estate Fall Social usually occurs in October. Residents bring food, drink and good conversation to the front porch of the mansion. The food tastes delicious and the company is always convivial. Come join us!
Spring Potluck Supper
Held every year, the spring social and potluck supper gives us a chance to mingle, sample cooking, and enjoy an evening on Lullwater's veranda!
Men's Breakfast Group
The George Hart Memorial Men's Breakfast Clubmeets every-other-week. It's a lively group, where tasty morning meals are consumed and anything from plumbing to politics is discussed. Contact Bill Hollberg to be added to the email notification list as time and venue may change.
Community Garden:
A community garden was established in 2013 in the detention pond at the rear of the Lullwater Road property. No Association funds were used to construct the garden, and use of garden plots is by subscription. Dues are typically $50-60 per year. If you would like to have a garden plot next season, contact Linda DiSantis before April.
