Dear Landings Association Members,

Welcoming a New Year Together and Celebrating Our Shared Successes

As we step into a brand-new year filled with fresh possibilities, there is no better time to unveil an exciting new look for The Landings’ publication of record. We’re thrilled to present this refreshed publication, which continues to deliver the news and updates you need and want, now enhanced with updated colors and other visual touches. In addition, you’ll find we’ve added a Public Works Update and several new features designed to make your reading experience more engaging and visually appealing. We hope you enjoy exploring all that the refreshed Journal has to offer, as we continue to keep you informed and connected.

As we welcome 2026, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyful and prosperous New Year to you and your families. This season is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year and to celebrate the strength and spirit of our community.

Throughout 2025, your involvement and support were essential in helping us achieve our goals. Whether it was contributing ideas, volunteering on a task force or committee, or offering thoughtful feedback on various projects such as a Talent Database expert, your participation has made a positive difference. Our community thrives because of its members’ engagement, and for that, I am sincerely grateful.

Looking ahead, your input will continue to be invaluable as we move forward with The Landings Association’s 2025-2027 Strategic Plan. We are committed to listening to your perspectives and working together to build a stronger, more vibrant community…one that not only enriches the lives of current residents but also attracts new homeowners and ensures The Landings remains a competitive and desirable place to live.

Speaking of building, if you have not checked out the beta version of our new TLA website, I encourage you to do so today. Since its preliminary debut the first week of December, we have received many insightful comments and suggestions from you, which have helped shape its direction. The refreshed site features a modern, user-friendly design and several innovative tools to enhance your experience. Please note that some features, including the login feature and Neighbor Search, still are being perfected and will be rolled out soon. We appreciate your patience and encourage you to explore the website and continue sharing your feedback.

As you are exploring the website, don’t forget to try our new AI Chatbot, Lina. Lina is designed to help answer your questions and provide guidance as you navigate our digital resources. Our team can see the questions you ask Lina, and they help us train the system on the information that our members need and want to know. Your thoughts and suggestions are instrumental in making Lina—and the entire website—even better.

If you have comments or ideas for improvement, please email them to webmaster@landings.org. Your feedback helps us create a digital experience that truly serves our community’s needs.

The Landings Journal and our website are just the beginning of the upgrades. More improvements are planned in 2026. I acknowledge the dedicated efforts of our Security and Public Works teams in addressing the ongoing challenges with the Deer Creek Village Gate. This issue was made worse by lightning damage a few months ago, and since then, the teams have collaborated to identify a new gate vendor and replace several of the gate’s components. However, despite their efforts, the system is still not functioning as intended. To resolve this, we are planning a complete replacement of the Deer Creek Village Gate during the first quarter of 2026. If the new system meets our expectations, we will look to replace additional gates throughout the community to ensure ongoing reliability and security. Please stay tuned for more details regarding this project as they become available.

Another project nearing completion is TLA’s new Microsoft Dynamics database. This enhanced residential database will provide us with alternative ways of communicating with members, such as texting and targeted emails, ensuring timely and relevant updates reach you according to your preferences. Additionally, the database will be seamlessly integrated with our website, bringing our popular Neighbor Search function online, making it easier than ever to connect with fellow residents. These exciting improvements are designed to foster stronger community connections and make important information more accessible to everyone.
