A Special Thanks to Lorraine Wade from Red Oak Apts and Sunset Ridge!

A Big Thanks for Lorraine W Wade from Red Oak Apartments and Sunset Ridge!

Lorraine has lived here at our Sunset Ridge Community since September of 2009. Since the beginning of her lease Lorraine has been willing to help in any way possible to make our community brighter. Lorraine has a background in activities coordinating at a previous community in Texas, with her skills and knowledge she offered to start an activities committee here at Sunset Ridge.

Lorraine has gone above and beyond to make our residents feel at home, all while working two jobs. Lorraine and her Co-Coordinator Carol, have put on some amazing events, the latest being our community block party. Our residents are extremely happy with her involvement with the community that she was presented with a trophy. During our prize giveaway a little girl won the last trophy for a balloon game. She then walked over to the D.J and requested to make an announcement and give her trophy to Lorraine instead, because she thought she deserved it. In her short speech she said it was “the best block party in her life and she couldn’t wait to do it again to next year”.

Lorraine brings the true meaning to “Living the Red Oak Life”, a big thanks to Lorraine Wade.

US Senate Candidate Kelly Ayotte Visits Red Oak Apartments

Kelly Ayotte, candidate for US Senate, visited Red Oak today. She had the opportunity to meet the Red Oak team and speak about her vision for the future of America and New Hampshire. Her passion for cutting government spending, creating new jobs and strengthening the economy really hit home with our staff. Kelly is a smart, hard-working fiscal conservative who will go to Washington and work hard for us. Please consider Kelly Ayotte when you vote this Sept in the Republican primary for US Senate.

Thank you Kelly.

Keeping in touch with the future of our country...Now That's the Red Oak Life!

Special thanks to our friend Ralph Wright from Ralph Wright Photography for taking these photos of Kelly!!

Summer BBQ at Sunset Ridge Apartments

Everyone had a great time at the Sunset Ridge Cook out last weekend!

The hamburgers, hot dogs and side dishes were a big hit for everyone.

Our DJ was exciting and the pie eating contest was a blast.

Our thanks to everyone who came and who helped make this event a great success.

Look for more fun to come in the coming weeks!!!

Relax on the River Front Walk Along the Merrimack River

Its days like these that make you want to be outside. If you are looking for a beautiful place to take a walk try the riverfront park along the Merrimack River. This quiet and peaceful walk follows the east bank of the river. Parking is available in the Millyard at one of the metered spaces. The Red Oak reporter recently walked the path from Granite Street to Bridge Street. I would suggest a picnic lunch to enjoy near the UNH Manchester campus. Walks like these are relaxing and good for you. Try it today!

Manchester's Newest Restaurant: Portland Pie Company

Have You Tried the Newest Restaurant in Manchester??

The Portland Pie Company opened its doors last week. This Maine based pizzeria is much more than dough and sauce. The menu carries a wide variety of classic sandwiches, wraps, salads and pastas too.
The renovation at the 786 Elm St location is remarkable. The transformation from the old Merrimack Restaurant to a sleek modern bar and eatery is truly amazing!
The bar carries a large variety of beers, ales and wine and the atmosphere is fantastic with some high top tables, flat screen TV’s and fireplace.
I had a delicious sandwich and a salad on my visit. The wait staff was friendly and the manager was welcoming.
Don’t be the last one to try this cool new restaurant!

Gardens are Looking Good!

How is your garden coming along?? The wet conditions from the past few weeks have really helped the tomato and pepper plants! I have nice blossoms on both of them.

My potatoes are looking really good too.

Weeding and watering every few days is helping to keep the plants really growing.
