PRESIDENT’S REPORT
WOODRIDGE ANNUAL MEETING: JANUARY 25
A summary of board accomplishments for the past year was
presented including the addition of the Phase VIII portion of the
subdivision into the Woodridge Homeowners Association.
This addition will eventually increase Woodridge to 420 homes.
A new directory was completed raising another $12,000 in
advertising income enabling the completion of the Park
Program. A final planned multi-use piece of play equipment
was purchased and installed. Construction of four new
Woodridge stone signs were completed at the Willis and
Caldwell entrances. Landscaping was improved at all
entrances. Several social and outreach programs were planned
and implemented in conjunction with the Woodridge Women’s
Club. The year was successful!
Plans for 2010 were discussed showing planned expenditures
for further landscaping improvements along the Caldwell berm,
several cul-de-sacs and the entrances. Emphasis was placed on
the mailbox program and energetic discussion followed from
the residents how we could improve the program. More will be
coming on that subject.

LANDSCAPING UPDATE
AND CALDWELL DRIVE PROJECT
WOODRIDGE PARK
Stone columns and landscaping were recently
completed at the two Woodridge entrances on
Caldwell. Two new decorative lights will soon be installed at
each of those entrances. Woodridge now has five entrances
each with matching stone entrance signs.
Spring, believe it or not, is just around the corner. We will be
doing our annual mulching, seasonal flowers, etc. at these
entrances. We will work on improving the areas that have been
disturbed by all of the Duke Power trucks on Willis
Road. They have been replacing the poles and rewiring for
months now. Those areas will ultimately be repaired and
reseeded as soon as the their work is completed. Duke has
promised they will repair the damage they caused.
SCHEDULED EVENTS HAVE PRIORITY

We would like to thank all of our Woodridge
neighbors who so graciously contributed to the
needy family in Travelers Rest, South Carolina.
They were so grateful and are slowly getting their
home back in living condition. You all helped to
make this possible. Thank you all for your gifts and
prayers. The husband is still in the burn center at
Augusta, Georgia. We pray that he will recover
and be home soon.
Thank you,
Teresa & Scott Cochran
