| OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2019 | 3 President's Message By Tom Murphy My message today begins with the haunting lyrics of Simon & Garfunkel: "Old friends, old friends, sat on their park bench like bookends sharing a park bench quietly … how terribly strange to be seventy." For a lot of us 70 has passed, but the benches do remain. We have completed Inspiration Hill, and that has added seven additional benches to share with your friends or to sit alone and reflect. This renewal of the old trail on the Hill brings the total number of park benches within our walls to about 65. I'm sure my fellow Board Members will be sitting in reflection as we deliberate our responsibilities of service. This month those responsibilities include: • Learning ways to bring the water out of the well and onto the grass • Implementing the Clubhouse Interior Design renovations • Studying the different Lanai possibilities for future community presentations • Presenting a plan to bring a restroom to the Overflow Parking island • Finance Committee efforts to improve our investment returns and keep the budget balanced • To "mine the gold" within our community to gain expertise in solving HVAC and road maintenance issues.
