Last Bunco for the season

Due to the small groups, Bunco will not be playing this summer.  The season ended with :

stay active.........

Bo who came in with his 2 buncos.
Barb won for most won games
Pat A came in second with her almost best games....
Patti stayed in her chair most of the evening except when she and Glenn did all the marking.  Great job guys.
Everyone pitched in to put the clubhouse back in order.
Sorry there will not be anymore games until this winter when everyone comes back.  
It was a great year as we had several new and old players return to play with us.  Perhaps some more new ones will return next season.....
Our thanks to those who committed to every Monday night to keep the game going.
Glenn and Patti tell us that WI bowling is still on for this Wednesday night for those who are interested.....
Rain, rain everywhere but the bowlers still came in...including Don with Carol's special treat.  It turned out to be a great night.  See you all next week...

Good News

Lew and June have gotten some good news over the week-end,
besides their son's racecar achievements their daughter also got into the race.

just kidding

Last week-end Liz G. did her first race in Beloit, Wisc.  Coming in # 1 in the regional race.  Her brother was there cheering her on.
They are all following in their father's history.
Congratulations to you and your family.
Thanks June for keeping in touch with us here in the Village.

Question.....

Yesterday while taking a stroll around the Village a large dog(?) was approaching us.  At least I thought it looked like a dog, although while driving down 8th street I spotted a pony that was about the same size.  

I really think this is a concern for us in our Village.  If this animal is a trained -service- dog then we should be notified of such.

We need to keep track of what is happening here at home, so if you have a question, I suggest you direct them to our office.

Let's all get outside and look around.......

Scores for this week

Bunco scores are in for this week....
We were down again to 8 people so next week will be our last game for the season.

We  wished Mike and Jean a safe journey back up north but they promised to return for our next season.  Good Luck driving.....
***************
Check in with Glenn or Patti on how long the Bowling games are to continue.  So many people have returned to their northern homes so we will see what comes out this next Wednesday.
Once again Carole sent some wonderful treats with Don for all of us to chew on.  Thanks......

News around the Village

Heard from several residents that have made it back to their northern homes. 
Thanks Don &;; Pat, Kevin &; Fran.  It is good to know that the long drives back were without problems.
Ran into John &;;; Stormey at the store and yes Nancy was with them.  She looked and sounded great.  Is now at Palm Gardens.  Nice to see old friends....
Have heard that several others aren't doing so well.
Ray M is home and has special care.  It seems that neighbors have been helping Martha move Ray around and nurses have been involved where the Doctor is checking him out carefully.  We are very proud of of friends and neighbors here in Lakewood Village. I do believe there is another story in this.......
Bob O is in the hospital and needs special care.
If you know others that perhaps we would be interested in hearing about, just let us know.....

Easter Bunny arrived

Bunny and Mickey

Bunny and honey

Getting ready for the hunt

    the Famous Easter Bunny indeed arrive this morning at our Clubhouse that had everyone clapping and having fun.










The breakfast was over  when the big bunny jumped into the room.
Your committee had fixed a truly wonderful buffet for everyone to enjoy.  There was room for seconds if anyone cared to return.
Your cooks, Connie, Jim, Bo, Mickey, Grace stayed at the stove until everything was cooked and served.  We heard many compliments from everyone who came. Special thanks to Gabby for coming in to help with whatever needed to be done.
The room had been decorated by Pat A and Barb with Easter everywhere and lots of Jelly Beans.
Glenn and Patti had finally made sure that the eggs outside had been properly hidden for the hunt when the Easter Bunny arrived.  No one was disappointed as everyone was awarded some prize.
The little ones colored pictures of Easter and were given prizes.
Even the adults were given their bag of goodies.
The dust mop came out and yes, Glenn was pushing it around the floor.  Thanks....
The RO and your donations are what made this morning possible.  All 90 people had a great time and we want to wish you tomorrow a Wonderful Easter Sunday......

Thank you everyone who helped make a great morning for all of us in the Village...

Back home in Perth

I have received confirmation that our good friends who left to return to Canada on Monday have arrived.
This is their note:
*****
Hello everyone.

Wishing you a safe summer

We arrived safely home yesterday about 4 pm- we spent Monday night in Fredericksburg, Va.  Good roads, little traffic, sunny- what more could one ask for!
The house and everything involved in it are fine.  Weather here is 9c high (48F) and lows -4C (22G)- but there is no snow and the daffodils are starting to open...
We shall be in touch again soon, as soon as we get unpacked and rested.     Love, Rick and Sharron
PS   We are having some phone difficulties, so phone and e-mail will be slow till we find out the answer to the plugs.
*****
This was a welcome note that our friends made it home safe and encourage others who leave for their northern homes,  let us know you made it safe...........  Thanks to all.

Thank You

I have received a complimentary note from June that I wish to share with everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I just want to mention how nice it was to see the freshly painted benches at the shuffleboard courts in the A-section.
Thanks to Russell's hard work last week.  Also the residents truly appreciate that he was busy picking up and removing those pine cones in the picnic area.
It all looked very neat and safe to walk through.
Thanks to the office for putting this on your schedule. Our thanks to Russell for a job well done...."
