HAWL Newsletter 4/15/2026 – 4/21/2026

HAWL would like to invite our community to meet with General Manager Bruce Devillier for a Community Meet and Greet in Waters Edge Restaurant (upstairs of the Lodge) Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 9:00 am. Everyone who attends this event will receive a coupon for either a free appetizer or dessert with the purchase of an entrée. This face-to-face collaboration with property owners will provide the opportunity to ask questions to the General Manager directly. This is a great time to ask any questions to prevent the spread of misinformation and to meet some of your neighbors as great neighbors make great communities. While new property owners are highly encouraged to attend, everyone in HAWL is welcome. If you wish to discuss individual matters such as an issue with a neighbor or a complaint, contact the General Manager directly at the Office to set up an appointment.

After meeting with the General Manager we invite you to stay for lunch at Waters Edge for the BBQ Rib Plate Special from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. In addition to the full menu, enjoy a BBQ Rib Plate with BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, and coleslaw for $14.99 per plate.
