The End in Sight

With the vaccine more readly available and most of our seniors already vaccinated, it looks like the pandemic is reducing it’s grip on our everyday life just a little. Time to get out and enjoy the good weather and start to get back to normal. Caution is still in order and we need to continue to be vigilant and watch the developments.

Snowmageddon 2021

Just when we thought the last year might be done battering us, Snowmageddon made its way to Texas and our community. Many were without consistent power for days and a small subset of our community on Rainbow and Windsong went without even longer until a fuse was fixed that supplied power to their homes. It was truly wonderful to be part of a community checking in on and supporting their neighbors even as many were struggling themselves. One of our Windsong residents, Twanda Williams, had this to say, “I would like to say thank you to all our neighbors for looking out for one another during these last few days.” What blessing it is to be part of NCPNA!

They are very appreciative of the support of their neighbors and friends. Continue to keep contact with your neighbors and offer assistance as needed. Don’t forget even if you can’t be as social you have in the past, we can still have activities and function as a community. Please stay diligent with social distancing, masking and hand washing. We can all hope for a better times to come. Don’t let the virus win.

Happy New Year North College Park

Somehow we made it through the wildest, weirdest year most of us have ever experienced. We came together as a community to connect where possible, helped our fellow neighbors, and made adjustments to a new normal no one saw coming. We’re thankful to our neighbors and members for your continuous support of NCPNA. We’re looking forward to a 2021 filled with a lot more time in person with all of you once it is safe. Until then, please stay diligent with social distancing, masking, hand washing, and hope for a much better year ahead for all of us! Don’t let the virus win.
