New Year

A great new year is here and things are going to happen around here.

****

The weather has changed from our normal Florida hot days.  We now have cool (Brrr) sunny days and cool nights.  This is a welcome to our  groves as this sweetens the fruit.  The oranges are now in and they are wonderful.

At our Clubhouse we are still having Coffee hour and a few extra people have come in.  We welcome you all to come and share a cup of coffee along with a fresh donut...

Bocci was short lived this week as the wind was blowing quite hard and it was a little to chilly.  They will continue next week.

Bridge was played at their usual time.  Leween delivered the scores and what a day they had:  Marilyn sailed in with a 2740: Bob followed her with a 2160:Tied with Edith and her 2160:  Margaret jumped in with a 2050.  The best news of all was they all witnessed a first of the year::   Marilyn and Margaret D. were successful in claiming the first Grand Slam.  This is not easily accomplished...Great going girls.....(added note!  Leween's granddaughter played golf today and hit a hole in one).  What a day for John and Leween...

Bowling continued at 6:30 pm and everyone had a great time getting all those strikes but of course we had our energy treat from Carole T.  Carrot cake is simple delicious.  Thanks again.

I understand that the Village's picnic is still going.  They meet at the picnic area on Monday afternoon.

The social club will meet tonight to hopefully have enough interest to continue working the LVSocial Club.  If you want to help them, please speak up.

Also you will notice the green evergreen tree has been left up and ready for other holiday greetings.  If you wish to hang a picture or two of a loved one on it, it would be interesting.  Events coming up will have decorations of that holiday.  Check it out.

Your annual TEA PARTY has a deadline on selling tickets and it is now....If you have reserved your tickets and wish to attend, please pick them up.  The committee will be purchasing the food and etc. this week-end.  If you would like to help set up on Friday afternoon( the 13th) in the clubhouse, please come over and see what is being done.  You will be amazed at what a great time you will have.  Call Connie if you need something connected to the Tea Party.  January 14th at 2:00 p.m.  Saturday in our clubhouse.....

Let's get together and enjoy our beautiful Village. Our sympathies go out to the families of Rick Smith and David Carlstrom.

Enjoy yourself...These are the "Good old days" you're going to miss in 20 years.
