Landscaping Renovation Project Benefits Condo Association

BARRINGTON, Ill. (April 25, 2007) – COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE® and Acres Group, a Wauconda-based landscaping company, partnered to give Wyndham Club Condominium Association, 1201-1426 Wyndham Court, Palatine, the gift of trees on Arbor Day.
      
The event was the idea of Linda Schiff, COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE President. “As a card-carrying member of the National Arbor Day Foundation, I wanted to involve COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE in an event that would benefit both our environment and a valued client,” Schiff said.
      
First, she solicited the participation of a fellow CAI – Illinois Chapter member, Cathy Snyder of ACRES Group. Together, they selected Wyndham Club Condominium Association to be the recipient of the Arbor Day landscaping gift.
      
Workers from ACRES Group arrived at the property early Thursday, April 19, to tackle the day-long project. They beautified the site by replacing blighted growth near the building’s entrance and around the clubhouse with flower beds, flowering trees, shrubs and sod.
      
“Acres Group did a wonderful job with the landscaping,” Schiff said. “The added value to the property will have a long-term impact on current residents.”
      
COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE underwrote the cost of the project and facilitated the installation. When the workers completed the installation, COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE and ACRES Group presented the Wyndham Club Condominium Association property management team with a plaque to commemorate Arbor Day and the event.
      
Attending the presentation were: Linda Schiff and Grace Lawler from COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE; Cathy Snyder and the work crew from ACRES Group; Joel Garson and Gayle Simon from Hillcrest Property Management.
