This morning Coffee was hosted by Grace Gallagher. She hosts coffee quite often and always tries to have "something different". This morning she had turnovers, raisen bread, and muffins to go along with the normal donuts.

Nancy Conners is the Captian of the Volunteer Team that worked Bingo this last Tuesday. There was a little over 1/2 of a room full of players that were busy daubing thier cards in thier quest for the "prize"!
The Social Club sponsors our Tuesday Bingo. It is the only consistant income that the Social Club has. The very small percentage that the Club keeps helps to pay for the Park-Wide Parties and to offset the costs of the other events that we have. There is also a Galley which offers several different items for break. Coffee and Ice Water is complimentary. If you don't want to work - come play!! Support your Social Club!!
Jerolyn (our Past President) set up weekly teams of Volunteers to work the Bingo - It really takes quite a few people each week. If you happen to have a few hours - or even - for some of the duties - an hour or so - to help out - give Jerolyn a call and she will put you in touch with one of the Team Captains.
This last Tuesday Norm Emard, Bob Ozment, and Diane Beatty were the callers. Jerolyn and Mickey did the Galley, I have no idea who the volunteers were that did the set up and selling of the books, daubers, 50/50's, and get orders for 1/2 time. Carey and Barb Emard assisted Nancy with the clean up - as well as Mike Palazo, who comes in and empties the garbage while he is waiting for Rita to finish up :)
Bingo usually runs from September thru May - so give a call to volunteer or mark Tuesday Bingo on your calendar to come play - Doors open at 5 PM!!
Norm Emard President of your Social Club
Easter is Sunday, March 23, 2008
For those who haven't yet made plans. . . .
The Crossings Community Church has extended an invitation to all of our Residents to attend Easter Service at 10:30 on Easter Sunday morning.
The Crossings is the church that provided all of the big 'jump houses' for our Mardi Gras party and they also provided a nice service at our Clubhouse on Christmas Eve.
Pastor Craig says "meet us at The Crossings Easter Sunday".
The Crossings Community Church is on 90th Avenue just south of the Village.
Come meet our office staff
Greeting you with a smile is Adriana Williams. If you have a problem she will direct you to the proper channel. The one you don't see to much of is our bookkeeper, Tamra Lewis. She hides in her little room with all the books and answers to our money problems but does it so well. Last but not least is our brave Manager, Kyse Manson. You have no doubt met her at one time or another. She is the driving force in the office. Always there to answer any questions that are bothering you. Please go in, introduce yourselves and let them know how much you appreciate their continuous work.
All brave golfers get together each Thurs. at the Plantation golf course. They had their luncheon this week-end with many winners. Americans won over the Canadians.....Other awards went to Dave Frazier, Lew Gauper, Phil Wright,Rick Doyle and one lone lady, Treasa Stein. #Way to go guys. Be sure to look them up and give them all a pat on the back.
Line dancers meet 10 am each Monday and welcome all new brave souls. There is no charge for all this fun. The clubhouse is available so come and join us.

At Bunco on Monday night - the Bunco team honored Nettie with cake and a big round of Happy Birthday. Her Birthday is on Friday and she will be 93 years young. You see Nettie everywhere - riding her bike - walking - handing out beads at Mardi Gras, dancing, playing Bocci - she is just one of the most active people I know. And she is sweet too!! She is the Mother of Barb, Grandmother of Connie - and they are all residents here. A Lakewood Family Tree!! Nettie was very suprised and of course, so very happy that so many thought of her ~
Thanks to our Social Club and the hard work of the outgoing President and First Man and their committees - we had a wonderful party on Saturday! The turnout was amazing for our Annual Park-Wide Party. This year it had a Mardi Gras Theme and many were in great costumes!! We were met outside the door by Nettie and given beads and a huge welcome - which no one can do like she can. . . The Crossings Community Church brought out their "events" trailer - so the kids had 3 big jumping structures provided by them. 
Marthmae. She has been a long-time resident with a very full "resume" of things she has accomplished here at the Village. She has been very busy during her time here. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her in her Red-Hat Grand Dame regalia - to many other were in front of her. She has a 90th birthday coming up soon and was also given a box of cards from residents. She left a very happy lady!!
