artha Aaron is the September and October art-
ist. Martha has been quilting for over 40 years.
She buys fabric because it calls to her and de-
lights years later when the fabric says, “It’s
my time to be used.” She enjoys the wordless experience

Martha’s art will be on display in the clubhouse through

tional 13% somewhat agree
that the Clubhouse is a valu-
able community asset.
■ 79% agree and an addi-
tional 14% somewhat agree
that Charbonneau should be
attractive to all age groups
that live here.
■ 76% agree and an addi-
tional 18% somewhat agree
that their property value is
linked to the community and
amenities offered.
■ 78% agree and an addi-
tional 16% somewhat agree
that that their property value
is linked to Charbonneau
having a golf course.
■ Over one-third have
lived in Charbonneau less

■ Over 75% are retired.
