1) AVRA and TMSI held a joint Spring Information Session on April 20th. Attendees were excited to hear about the many fun plans at Amberwood this summer. In case you missed it, you can view the slide presentation and listen to the audio recording HERE.
2) Local author Barbara Robson has published her new book, Amberwood Village: an Illustrated History, providing a new look at our dramatic past and giving a trifecta of benefits to our club. The 90-page book, sprinkled with old photos and new images by local photographer John Edkins, presents AVRA members with a clear and visual record of more than four decades of our collective history. Between battles by generals, two major fires, a flood, lawsuits and two threats of club closure, there has been no shortage of narrow escapes for the golf club at the heart of our community. The book also gives all Stittsville residents a glimpse of just how unique this community is, having grown from the vision of developer Jack Johannsen who donated the club to Amberwood residents for $1. “Researching, writing and producing the book was a labour of love,” Barbara said. “My hope is that it will lead even more people to appreciate what a treasure we have here, to enjoy it, and to help preserve it.”
The author has generously offered to donate the proceeds from the sales of her book to help fund special projects at the club. The next order is being placed on July 2nd. If you wish to order a copy, please click HERE to complete the form. The cost of the book is $20.
