Dear Villagers,

Happy, Healthy 2019! We held the weather off pretty good, but now we are paying the price. Lots
of snow and lots of cold! Our Service Department is doing a good job helping us remain safe with
clear roads.

The Annual Gates Mills Improvement Society dinner was held on January 11th. I happily made
the announcement for a naming rights campaign for the new park. We are naming the overall
park, Marston Park. The Marston families have made a donation and a matching challenge to
assist with the future up-keep of our new park. The Kalberer family has made the donation for the
Pavilion. We are lucky to have residents with such community commitment.

There are many pieces of equipment and areas that can also be named along with the opportunity
to purchase legacy pavers for a patio. I will be sending the order form in my State of the Village
letter, but please call me if you have questions. I hope to send the State of the Village letter out in
early February.

The Pink Sheet provides lots of event information from our various community groups. Family
movie nights, theater, yoga, summer camps and more are all exciting and fun ways to be involved
and meet others from your community. The Village website (www.gatesmillsvillage.com) and
Gates Mills Connect, our email system for event reminders and information, are other ways to find
out what is happening in our Village. Note that Gates Mills Connect differs from the emergency
alert system (Your 911). Please take a moment to check out the website and register for Gates
Mills Connect!
