Beautiful week-end coming up

The end of February is here and what a month it has been:

The weather has been totally different than usual and people have been on edge.

This will all change with the month of March coming up but first....

We want to Wish Doug a very happy birthday and we will celebrate many more.

Love ya....

***

Next month things are happening and the

Red Hat ladies

are planning fun and exciting things. On Tuesday the 11of March they will be heading for a fun lunch and then over to the clubhouse to view a movie on our beautiful screen.

Queen Peggi has so many good idea' s for these brave women.

***

I also had a request for anyone who is able to help out in the kitchen on any given

day or time. They need people to help set-up and organize functions. So if you can help out let Nancy C. know what you can do to help them out...

To attain the best in life, be sure to give your

best to the living..

2010 Census information

The census is really important to our district for government programs, assistance, and representation, to just name a few,  so simply, PLEASE beware of what is happening.


• If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge and check them carefully before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don’t know into your home.


• Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, it will not ask for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers nor will employees solicit donations.

• Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail or in person at home. However, they will not contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an e-mail that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

You can sit outside on your porch for the interview if you choose. You do not have to invite them into your home.
Our area local office is:
Port St Lucie
SW Port Saint Lucie Boulevard
Port Saint Lucie, FL 34953
Phone: 772-361-6019

If a Census Worker is rude, demanding, or asks inappropriate questions, call the office with thier name.

And here in the Village - you can call the office to check on whether the office knows there are Census workers on the property.  They should not be here without checking in at the office.
If you want further info visit: http://www.census.gov/ and follow links to answer your questions.


***My thanks to John G. for bringing this to our attention.***

Sad News Today

Had word today from the family of

Marthamae Schlow

that she had gone to be with her

heavenly family on Sat. February 13th.

***

Marthamae was just shy a few days

from being 97 and quiet active until recently.

She is survived by 3 children.

There will be no services conducted so if you

wish to make any contributions in her

name, it can be to the

Vero Beach Library.

Lakewood Village acknowledges

Marthamae as a great lady of many talents that we all benefited throughout the years of her life in our Village.

She will be missed and we extend our

condolences to her family.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day with your sweetheart.

*****

Last night's dinner dance was classified as a wonderful success.

The food was in large portions and an orderly service was performed.  Everyone was pleased that their table was served quickly.  The music was played all through the dinner and was to the liking of 90 people who stayed and enjoyed their evening.

Everyone danced and chatted with old and new friends with the thought that the next dinner was just around the corner in March.

Our thanks go out to Nancy C. and her happy to please crew who all evening kept the food and conversation going for a pleasant relaxed Valentine's dinner.

This red and white night was clearly one that we all will remember of this new season.

Everyone can be proud of the outstanding selection service that given to each and everyone through out the evening.

***

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is almost here and I know everyone

has their card picked out. The one you see is quite old but still

expresses the thought quite well.

**

This Saturday the Lakewood Village Social Club will be presenting

their Valentine's Dinner/Dance in our beautiful

romantic clubhouse.

Check with Nancy C. to see if you can still purchase your tickets

for you and your sweetheart. They are still only $7.50 each and

include your dinner/dance and entertainment.

**

What better way to impress your sweetheart than to give her an

evening out and to be waited on?

Hope to see everyone there at 6:00 on Saturday night.

****

Love to all you sweethearts...

A change

After 3 years of the same layout - Barb asked that I 'change things up a bit' - so I have - I will get out and take some new pictures and add them also. 

I know that many of us don't care for change so I didn't really change much.  If you have any suggestions, find errors, or have any constructive remarks - thank you for them -

I hope you enjoy Barb's excellent reporting and hard blog-work for the next 3 years!!! :->  I know I do -

Have a wonderful day - and don't forget to keep WARM!!

Just a thought for today

I think we could take a moment and evaluate just what is happening.

Most of the country up north looks just like

these pictures

and we can be thankful we are here in our beautiful Village.

We will pray for those who are having and going to have a rough time this coming week. Enjoy our Florida weather...

The great Ozment family

Superbowl party turned out to be a very memorable day for all.

Everyone who turned out for this wonderful occasion was not disappointed in the least. The weather was a little nippy but we all came into our spacious clubhouse to enjoy the program that your Social Club had prepared for us.

The Ozment girls sang to entertain all of us with great pride that their father was able to come and enjoy everyone. This was their way of saying thank you to Bob's friends and neighbors.

~~~~

Your Social Club wishes to thank everyone who came to their special party and many more thanks to those who donated their time and resources as volunteers.  Special thanks to the kitchen crew as they were out there everywhere working hard the whole time, cleaning, serving and just being wonderful hosts.

The Villagers let them know that they appreciated all their efforts in getting the newly installed Social Club Board off on a super start and that we all wish them a successful year ahead

The 50/50 prize went to one of your hostess and we all were so pleased that she donated 1/2 of her winnings back to the Social Club.

Thanks a million Connie..
