Nancy C. received word yesterday that her

sister-in-law was taken from her family and

lifted to a better place.

Betty Lou N. services will be attended in

Pennsylvania by

Nancy, Lou and Nancy's brother.

We wish them a safe trip and offer our

condolences during their difficult time.

All went well

You all remember

Doug and Marg D.

Yesterday Marg had surgery done for the

second time and

her hip was more difficult to replace than the

last time. Her surgeon was pleased that

this time it went well.

It will take time for her to heal and therefore

will delay their return to our Village.

~~

We certainly want to express our best wishes

for a speedy recovery and look forward to

when she and Doug return to us.

There are several sisters that will be around

so you can stop and talk to them. A29.

~~Arrived home this week-end from Canada with our Joan to spend some time with us all.It was a beautiful trip and the landscape, out of this world. The trees were in their outstanding foliage. Colors that we don't see here very often and the

temperatures strictly northern. We all embraced Florida with giggles.

Recycle Program

aJust for your information.

~~

Effective October 1, 2008

~~~

Indian River County is pleased to announce an

expanded curbside recycling program.

~~

Recycling saves the county landfill...and that saves the

taxpayers' money. Moreover, it saves our planet.

~~

Remember, curbside recycling Service is available to all

Village residents and it is included in the cost of living

here.

~~

Our collection day is WEDNESDAY. If you need bins

you can call 772-226-3400 as these are free for the asking.

~~

This is not mandatory but it really makes good sense.

~~

I hope this information will benefit all those concerned and

we all thank you for paying attention.

~~

This was brought to my attention by June G. and I

approve this message....

thought I would pass on to you.

~~~

Several people are under the weather that we are

aware of.

Bob O. is heading into surgery in the morning and

we will be waiting for the results. He has been having

many problems that we hope the Doctors will be able

to correct.

~~~

John C. is still in the hospital and Jessie is with him.

We should know more on how he is doing soon. So keep

watching.

~~

Kathy R. had a small accident yesterday and should be

home by now. I assume her arm is now in a cast.

Hope she is doing better.

~~~

Rita P. will be having her hand operated on Thurs as

she has been having problems for some time. We

know she will get some relief and have her back

playing our card games again soon.

Peg B. has had surgery this summer and will be

delayed on their return. If anyone would like to

send her a card this is her address:

Your Social Club President has put in a request for

anyone who can help in the kitchen on Tuesday nights

for Bingo. This is necessary for Bingo to continue.

Please check your schedule and see if you can either work

in the kitchen or HELP call for their games. This can be on

a once a month schedule and would mean so much to the Village.

Call or stop by Phyllis B. to let her know what you can do...

~~~

Peg D. is in charge of having a Pot Luck dinner coming up

the 16th of November in our clubhouse. The details will be coming

in the near future. Check with Peg on what you can do to help.

Bud Hunker

Had word today that a long time resident, Bud Hunker, at
A 29 has been admitted to the Vero Hospice facility.
If anyone would care to call him his number is
978-5602.
He is allowed visitors to his room # 2 and is alert to
his surroundings. If anyone would like to take Bud out
for a walk or for a short outing, he would also enjoy
this.
~~
My thanks to Pat P. for all her help in working with
Bud and keeping us all informed. We know he is
in capable hands now and we wish well.

High Honors

Our own Nancy D

~~

This was sent to me and I thought it was interesting

enough to pass it along.

~

Nancy sings in the choir at her church and was pleased

when her great-granddaughter Megan was selected

from a large group of Middle School students and a large group

of High School boys.

This is the four county chorus competition.

They all sang six songs.

The amazing thing is that Megan , who is blind, and another blind girl had all

their music memorized and never missed a beat.

This was a preview of what they were to sing on Monday for

the state.

The sad thing is that if they win local, she and another blind girl won't

beable to go because they can't read music. This is changing for

the next year.

~~~

We know that Nancy and her family are very proud of this

beautiful little girl and what she has accomplished thru her dark life.

Megan has preformed for us many times when she was

quite young and it pleased all of us.

~~~

Our hearts go out to this beautiful young lady and

wish her only the best on her road in life.

~~

Thank you Nancy for sharing this with us.

Canada

Thanks for the update...

Rick and Sharon

We will be waiting for you
