ROGER & WE

Roger & Me was a film documentary written and directed by Michael Moore about his years growing up in Flint, Mich., and the then GM CEO Roger Smith, whose company dominated his hometown and his life.

This Roger, however, is Roger Kadish, from the Verandas—a consistent contributor to the VillageNews section of the Cross Creek Courier. Roger writes not only during the season but all through the summer months as well. I have not come close to matching his consistency!

There are 18 associations in Cross Creek. At one time, many contributed to the Village News. It would be wonderful to see that level of participation return—so the caption could truly read Roger and We.

Your subject matter can be whatever you wish to share: recipes, travel tales, family stories, favorite restaurants, or updates from your own association. Perhaps your association hosts programs that might inspire others’ social activities—or maybe you would like to highlight members who generously give their time and energy.

Hopefully, someone in your association could contribute! All you need is a keyboard, a few thoughts, and a quick spelling and grammar check. You might even use AI to polish your piece—but make sure to review and replace any words that don’t sound like you.

Then send it to Mindy. Congratulations—you are now a published writer! You can even add it to your résumé as your name is now in print.

Oh, and Wyldewood is alive and well—especially the wild part!
