WYNDHOLME VILLAGE IS "GO"

Lancelotta & Associates Development Corporation (a real estate developer; James M Lancelotta, president), recently received a major pre-development loan from Leeds Federal Savings, a Maryland bank, to begin work on development of a retirement community for Deaf adults.

As reported in DOC-ument, July 1996, "Lancelotta & Associates contacted several Deaf state and national associations as well as Deaf individuals, ... seeking ideas for creating an adult community designed for and by the Deaf, ... with the intention of developing an unsurpassed state-of-the-art community that caters to the needs and requirements of Deaf adults ... and that is as affordable as possible."

"Wyndholme Village will be a private community for the Deaf ... on a secluded 25-acre estate in Baltimore, Maryland. Over 700 private apartments and commercial spaces are planned, along with fountains, flower and vegetable gardens, sports areas, ponds, and walking trails."

For more information: Lancelotta & Associates, 800 242 9963; fax 410 730 6610; email: wyndholme@aol.com ; 5052 Dorsey Hall Drive, #203, Ellicott City, MD 21042.

SOUND FAMILIAR ?

"Through the years we have gained and lost members, an inevitable sign of our aging, but, more seriously, we have few members willing to take a turn at leading. This is not unique to our Retirees Club, but it is cause for concern as our numbers diminish." -- From FOCUS, Gates Retirees Club quarterly, Spring 1997; thanks to William N "Bill" Fraser.
