Village Builders was honored to have the opportunity of sponsoring the Woodtrace Wilderness Kids Triathlon. The race took place on Sunday, August 15th. Nearly 200 kids participated in this year’s race. The weekend was graced with lovely weather and tons of smiles all around. Proceeds from this year will benefit the Woodtrace Foundation, which were donated to Decker Prairie Elementary School.
Everyone who participated received a race t-shirt and goodie bag, plus a finisher medal. This race was hosted in the beautiful master-planned community of Woodtrace. The swim race took place in the Woodtrace Recreation Center pool, the bike ride around the neighborhood, and the run was on the trails around Lake Woodtrace.

The gated community of Woodtrace is located in Tomball ISD and offers an amazing amenity package. There is a recreation center with a pool, a clubhouse, and five miles of wooded greenbelt trails. The most stunning feature of this wooded neighborhood is the 23-acre Lake Woodtrace. Located next to the recreation center in the heart of the community, Lake Woodtrace is a real spring-fed lake that houses a canoe/kayak launch and fishing dock. The community also includes a Central Park, with a natural creek, footbridges, and trails.

Vast nature preserves and lakes, verdant country clubs, and sprawling recreational areas envelop the small, family-friendly town where hospitality and charm haven’t changed much since McHenry was settled in the 1830s. Sounds like the model of ideal living, doesn’t it?
Well, speaking of models, Lennar showcases a new model townhome in the Legend Lakes community, tucked within 5 miles of McHenry’s historic downtown along the Fox River.
Just like McHenry, which brims with quaint specialty shops and service businesses that fill tomorrow’s needs today, the Darcy ei model offers that same blend of old-fashioned quality and sophisticated features.
The two-story townhome showcases Lennar’s signature open-concept design, with the kitchen’s center island overlooking the great room and dining room—all washed with light from the abundant windows. A patio and spacious loft fill out the generous living spaces.
These are just a few highlights in the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath floorplan. As for built-in upgrades, the townhomes include GE® stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops in the kitchen and a separate shower and tub in the owners suite, among other features.
You see, in every Legend Lakes townhome, Everything’s Included®. That’s Lennar’s innovative package of features most other homebuilders consider “extras,” passing those extra—and considerable—costs on to you.
Likewise, everything’s included in Legend Lakes and the spectacular surroundings. Community amenities include a playground, picnic area, a basketball court and a baseball field. Virtually around the corner, McHenry offers a world of places to go and things to do.
Local faves include a drive-in theater and Fiesta Days, a 10-day summertime festival with parades, car shows, music, food and more. McHenry Market Square Shopping Center and The Shops at Fox River are minutes from Legend Lakes, while marquee retailers and restaurants, along with hometown shops and homegrown eateries, are at your fingertips.
Within 7 miles of Legend Lakes, the stunning Moraine Hills State Park features some 2,200 acres of lakes and natural habitats, along with more than 10 miles of trails and opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, cross-country skiing, and family leisure time. McHenry Community Consolidated School District No. 15’s highly rated schools are also within 2.5 miles of Legend Lakes.

Between now and September 14th, Lennar Portland is once again partnering with With Love, Oregon, a non-profit organization, for a diaper drive to support foster families and help cover as many little baby bottoms as they can. With a deadline that is less than a month away, the Great Diaper Drive aims to collect 55,000 diapers – but they need your help! Join Lennar in supporting vulnerable children by delivering hope, dignity and love through clean, quality diapers. Gifts at any level will help provide vital supplies to deserving little ones in foster care – please consider donating today!
And this year with COVID protocols, we’re making it easier than ever to participate – we’re hosting an online diaper drive and accepting donations directly to With Love. Together we can make a difference. Please visit their website and give back today.
“Many times, foster parents will find out they are receiving a child only hours before they arrive, leaving them unprepared and overwhelmed. With Love strives to provide families with the essentials they’ll need, including clothes, car seats, toys and diapers, so they can focus on their little ones.” – With Love
With Love, recognizes the need to support Portland’s foster families and serves as a bridge between foster families and their communities. With Love helps foster families by providing safe, clean and quality clothing and supplies for children ages 0-6. By providing valuable resources to families in need, they hope to nurture dignity and hope throughout the community. Families can go through hundreds of diapers in just one week, with a typical baby using anywhere from 10 to 12 diapers a day and toddlers using about eight a day.
Lennar Portland has supported With Love, Oregon for the last few years by collecting diapers at our new home communities. Please consider donating and helping us reach our goals!
Touching testimonials:
“Fostering is hard. It is emotionally fatiguing and always a surprise. As foster parents, there is truly no way to prepare. You have a 2-year-old boy, then shortly after, a baby girl that barely weighs four pounds. With Love allows my family to say yes, knowing they will provide the items these children desperately need, so we are able to focus on helping the kids settle in our home.” – Foster Family
“We had nothing for our new placement of two sisters but had since learned about With Love. In three short days, a full van dropped off everything we needed. With us both working full time and getting two kids under two years old without notice or daycare, this van showed up with far more than stuff. It was a van full of love. I could spend bonding time with these girls. A van full of the sense of relief that these kids had their necessities. It was a van that filled their needs so we could spoil the girls with experiences and the fancy toys and items that the “kids with everything” had.” – Foster Family
“Dear With Love – we are filled with gratitude for all you’ve provided us in the first months we’ve had our foster baby! It was incredible to receive a car seat, stroller and so many diapers! The volunteers who helped at pick up were beyond helpful and so friendly. This organization and its sponsors are a blessing to the community!” – Foster Family
