The Summit at Sunland Springs 

A New Memory Care Community in East Mesa 

Continuing the Farnsworth Family Tradition of 

Excellence in Senior Living 

Craig Sr. & Mr. Farnsworth 

In 1958, Ross Farnsworth and his 

father Joe began developing communities 

that were specifically designed to meet 

the needs of active adults. Since then, 

Farnsworth Development has built 

thousands of homes in the east valley and 

earned a reputation for quality construction 

and outstanding customer service. 

In 1980, son-in-law Craig Ahlstrom 

joined the family business beginning 

the third generation of the Farnsworth 

legacy. In 2008, Craig Ahlstrom Jr. 

joined the company, representing the 

fourth generation to become involved in 

senior housing, thus continuing the tradition of excellence that has 

been handed down through the years. 

In 2011, a new company was formed by the Ahlstroms which 

takes the great reputation of the past, adds to it new ideas for the 

future, and offers a new housing type to assist seniors needing higher 

levels of care as they age--thus the idea for The Summit was born. 

The Summit at Sunland Springs is a community for individuals 

with Alzheimer’s and other forms of Dementia and memory loss. It 

has a purposefully designed environment for residents to promote 

maximum independence while maintaining their dignity, privacy 

and respect. The Summit represents decades of experience that will 

enhance the lives of seniors needing the extra care and concern that 

they so richly deserve. 

Our private rooms and common areas are welcoming and 

easy to navigate. Our life engagement philosophy and our social 

activity programs are designed to enhance the daily activities of 

living for our residents. 

Milestone Retirement Communities was selected to manage 

The Summit at Sunland Springs. Milestone is proud to be a part of 

the tradition of excellence that has been handed down through four 

generations of the Farnsworth/Ahlstrom family. 

Located on Signal Butte Road south of Baseline in east 

Mesa, The Summit at Sunland Springs is only a short distance 

from physicians’ offices, Mountain Vista Medical Center, and other 

medical support services, in addition to retail stores and shopping 

centers.

Spring Break 

This month is Spring Break month for 

school children all across the country, and a 

few of them find their way to Sunland Springs 

Village. Some of the school “children” are 

well into their 20’s, but whatever their age, 

the residents being visited need to make sure 

their guests are following community rules. 

Remember that you must accompany 

your guests of any age while they are at the 

pools, the fitness centers, or the Billiards 

Room. However, if you have adult guests 

(age 18 or older) staying one or more nights 

with you, you may obtain passes at the Activities 

Office that allow them to use the facilities 

on their own. The passes are $5 per person, 

and there is a $15 family rate. The passes are 

good for 30 days. 

Children’s Hours at the Pools 

Children’s hours at the Springwood Pool 

are noon to 2:00 PM. Children’s hours at the 

San Tan Pool are 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Please 

observe the children’s hours rigorously. 

Springwood Pool 

We gave the Springwood Pool a makeover 

just in time for Spring Break. We closed 

the pool for five days to paint the deck, 

renovate the landscaping, repair the walls 

by the spa and clean out the deck drains. 

Our maintenance guys and the landscaping 

company did a great job. Come and see how 

good it looks. 

Golf Carts 

Every year at this time I get reports of 

children, sometimes very young children, 

driving grandma’s golf cart on our streets. 

This practice is very dangerous even if you 

are accompanying your grandchild, and it 

freaks everybody else out. Remember, the 

streets in Sunland Springs Village belong to 

the city. To drive on any city street you must 

be a licensed driver and follow the rules of 

the road, and your golf cart must be licensed 

with the city as well. 

Golf Course 

Another report I get this time of year is 

children, adults and pets playing on the golf 

course. For insurance reasons, only registered 

golfers are allowed on the golf course. So 

invite your guests to sign up for a round of 

golf, but otherwise they have to stay off the 

course. Be sure they check in at the Pro Shop 

before playing. 

For more information on all of these events check out the flyers on page 8 and 9. 

Be Sociable For Security 

By Ed Leahy Chairman, SSV Security Committee 

On Wednesday, March 13, at 6:00 PM 

in the SSV Auditorium, you can enjoy some 

free Ice Cream and learn how to keep your 

home more secure in the bargain. To get 

your free ice cream you will need to get a 

ticket like this at the Activities Office. They 

will be available until Monday, March 11: 

SAMPLE 

Put your name on the back when it is 

redeemed and you’ll be included in a drawing 

for prizes donated by our exhibitors. Ice 

Cream coupons will be limited to 300. 

Vendors of home security products will 

display their wares. 

The list of exhibitors includes a variety 

of home security suppliers. Foresight, who 

installs alarm wiring and security systems for 

Farnsworth. Lowe’s Home Improvement and 

Home Depot will display a range of home 

security products. First Impressions, who 

installs security doors for Farnsworth, will 

feature their doors. Lincoln Garage Doors 

will discuss their doors and accessories. Cox 

Cable will demo its Cox Home Security, 

“Home Protection Life Connection.” All exhibitors 

will contribute prizes to be awarded 

to lucky members of the audience. Last but 

not least, Farnsworth Development will bring 

prizes to be awarded in our drawing. 

The Mesa Police will talk about their practices 

in our area. 

The police cannot sit outside everyone’s 

home and prevent break-ins. Neither can our 

private Security Company, so when it comes 

to making your home more secure--security 

begins at home. 

To make the most of that idea at SSV, we 

participate in the Mesa Police Neighborhood 

Watch Program. It is a simple, but effective 

way to help keep our community safe. Our 

program is based on the age old fashioned 

idea of neighbors looking out for each other. 

Most importantly, what it requires of each 

of us is simple--getting to get to know our 

neighbors and, we can do that while we enjoy 

ourselves at a neighborhood party. 

If you are a winter visitor, you have a 

special reason to belong to a block watch as 

you leave your home for months at a time 

in summer. If you are a winter visitor with 

e-mail, you can stay tuned to what is going 

on in your neighborhood wherever you are. 

Generally, with e-mail any coordination 

needed can be done on the internet. 

Your home is a sizable investment so it is 

in your interest to protect it. 

Ever since we have organized Neighborhood 

Watch Groups at SSV, we are a low 

crime area. That is the good news. The bad 

news is the minute we take that as a signal to 

let down our guard, that is the time we make 

ourselves vulnerable. The fact that little or 

nothing untoward is happening at SSV is a 

sign our vigilance is working. 

Be Sociable for Security. 

To keep your home and SSV more secure 

does not have to be like flossing your 

teeth or eating your spinach. It can be as 

easy as coming to a neighborhood party- 

-or a free Ice Cream Social to learn how to 

protect what you own.

Tennis Club News 

By Linda Miller, Club Secretary 

On Saturday, February 9, about 80 Club 

members braved the cold and windy weather 

at an invitational hosted by Monte Vista. It 

was a fun day with good food and lots of fun 

tennis. 

The annual Farnsworth Mixed Doubles 

Tournament is from March 18 to 23. The SSV 

Tennis Club is sponsoring the tournament, 

one of the largest in the entire state. Great 

tennis matches will be played on ten of our 

twelve courts. Matches will begin at 7:00 

AM on courts 1-6 and 8:15 AM on 7-10, then 

ending around 4:00 on north courts and 2:00 

on south courts. We are adding 32 teams this 

year, making a total of 432 players playing in 

seven levels of ability. This is our first year of 

having our very own team in the 4+ level (the 

TOP level), Jennifer Wittick and John Berger. 

There will be plenty of FOOD available 

for sale at both the Snack Shack by the 

north courts and at the Courtside Café at the 

auditorium. Dale Miller’s famous Breakfast 

Burritos and a complete pancake breakfast 

league guidelines and rules. New member 

handouts are also given to those joining our 

league for the first time. 

January and February socials included a 

variety of delicious menu ideas such as: baked 

potatoes with trimmings, hot turkey sandwiches, 

taco salads, chicken wings, pizzas, 

Chinese food, and baked ham with a potluck. 

It takes much appreciated volunteer help to 

host the socials. The extensive involvement 

of our members, whether in game directing 

or setting/cleaning up, helps to make this club 

as successful and desirable as it is. 

Our club is happy to boast about our holein-one 

winners. This season we congratulate 

Joan Boyd (November 2), Trudy Ramer 

(November 9), Loren Lorenzen (December 

21) and Bill Motl (this past summer) on their 

achievement. Club members were treated 

to wine at our socials, compliments of the 

winners. 

Good luck to all the tournament competitors! 

be announced and be given their prizes at the 

end of the month. 

In March, we play our Club Championship 

over three rounds starting the March 

13. The championships will be contested by 

flights according to handicap, and there will 

be a low gross championship trophy. The 

awards will be presented at our annual dinner 

and Club meeting on March 27. We will 

also conduct our annual election of officers 

at the meeting. 

will be available during the morning hours 

of 8:00 to -10:00. From 11:30 AM to 1:30 

PM we will once again be serving our delicious 

one-third pound hamburgers, hot dogs, 

sandwiches, salads and more available at the 

Courtside Café. Six dollars will get you an 

entree, bag of chips, cookie and drink. All 

proceeds go to support the SSV Tennis Club 

and to help purchase needed equipment such 

as shade screens, tables, tennis balls, etc. 

Please stop by this week to watch some 

good tennis and eat fabulous food. Parking 

will be at a premium so we ask that you ride 

your bike, walk, carpool, or bring your golf 

cart. 

Other March events include the annual 

SVE Doubles Tournament March 11-16 at 

Sunland Village East, and the Monte Vista 

Eight-Man Team Tournament March 24-30

Ladies 18-Hole 

Golf League 

By: Barbara Shaw 

OK! OK! OK! Enough of this cold, cold 

weather!! Enough of six layers of clothing 

and frost delays!! Hurry up Spring!! 

I had hoped to have the results of the 

“Rally for the Cure” to include in this newsletter, 

however, Mother Nature has not cooperated 

and the tournament was cancelled due to 

the cold weather and frost delays as mentioned 

above. The tournament was postponed until 

February 19 , and hopefully, the weather will 

allow us out on the golf course. 

Good News! We have arranged to have 

an outside game at the Augusta Ranch Golf 

Course on Wednesday, April 17, 2013. We 

haven’t worked out all the details to date so 

keep watch for further information posted in 

the Golf Shack, and, of course, next month’s 

newsletter will contain all the facts 

President’s Cup tournament is on March 

5 and 12 with the banquet on Thursday, March 

14, 2013. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the 

Golf Shack so be sure to sign up for this event. 

Lots of prizes to give away and the weather 

in March should be much more conducive 

for playing golf! 

As some of you will be heading home 

the end of March – be safe – and have a terrific 

summer! 

See you on the links!

Softball News 

By: Patti Finney 

Wow Is All We Can 

Say! 

Our Hamburger Feast 

fundraiser was a huge success 

thanks to the wonderful 

residents of Sunland 

Springs Village. We are so 

appreciative of your continued support of the 

Sunland Springs Village Softball Club. You 

are the BEST! 

As the softball season comes to an end, 

we saw a season full of fun and just a few 

minor injuries. There were many new players, 

who discovered they could still play ball in 

their retirement years. We always welcome 

new players. 

If you are interested in playing next season 

and would like to be contacted in the fall, 

you can call Patti Finney, 480-861-4513, for 

the ladies team, or for the men’s teams call 

Dick Paulin, 480-986-7600. We welcome all 

experience levels. 

Once again, we say THANK YOU for 

supporting the Sunland Springs Village Softball 

Club. 

Low Impact 

Aerobics 

Rita Vautrin 

Why Women need resistance training: 

SSV’s Low Impact Aerobics class emphasizes 

not only cardio training, but also 

resistance training. Join us Tuesday, Thursday 

and Saturday morning from 7:30-8:30 AM 

in the Auditorium to strengthen your heart, 

muscles and bones. 

Resistance training is the unglamorous 

side of exercising, but it is as important has 

cardio training. The two biggest reasons 

are weight management and increased bone 

density. Studies have shown that if women 

strength trains two or three times a week for 

eight weeks, she will gain 1.75 lbs. of muscle 

and lose 3.5 lbs. of fat. 

The other advantage of an increased 

muscle mass is that one-pound of muscle 

burns 35-50 more calories than one pound of 

fat. As a tool against osteoporosis, strength 

training can increase spinal bone mineral 

density by 13% in six months. In addition, 

as you get stronger with strength training, you 

feel younger and have more confidence; as 

you can still perform tasks that were so easy 

several years ago. Strength training has more 

benefit for the same time spend exercising. If 

you have any questions, call me at 634-4784. 

Billiards Club 

By: Jane Harrel, Secretary 

Get ready for a 

mixed doubles tournament 

on March 9. 

Sign up sheets in the 

Pool Room on the 

bulletin board. 

On Friday, March 29, there will be a 

potluck for the people who play pool on Friday 

evenings. See Barb Harvey for details. 

Friday night all-comers pool has become 

quite popular. Some players had to be turned 

away because there were no spots left. We 

only have eight tables with a maximum of 

four players each, so simple math tells us that 

there were more than 32 players that wanted 

to play what I like to call the “Chinese Fire 

Drill” games. Get there early to nail down a 

place at the tables. 

Dan Olenik, president of the Club, has 

been working with the HOA to get the heating 

and cooling in the room to a desirable 

temperature for all. Hopefully, you have been 

comfortable in there lately.

Sunland Springs Village Master HOA Meeting 

SSV Auditorium January 22, 2013 

Jeff Decker-Vice President of the HOA and Farnsworth Development 

John Lippert- HOA Manager 

The meeting began at 9:50 A.M. following the Tuesday HOA Coffee. 

John Lippert reminded everyone that the Townhome meeting would 

be held immediately following the Master meeting. 

John began with an overview of the December 2012 and preliminary 

Year-end Financial results which he had distributed. 

The $880,955 in Total Operating Funds is mostly 2013 Assessment 

funds. 

The $52,505 Maintenance fee credit is from 2013 assessments collected 

in 2013. The $52,505 and the $880,955 will be included as 

Income in the January 2013 financials. 

The Builder Subsidy from Farnsworth for 2012 was $10,100. 

The administrative expense is higher than budgeted because of an 

additional Administrative Assistant in 2012. 

Utilities are up because of the additional irrigation and management 

expense from the addition of the Guadalupe & Springwood landscape. 

Propane costs were down because of reduced prices. 

Cable expense was up because of a fee increase from Cox. 

Landscaping expense was down because of less than expected storm 

damage. 

The General Reserve Transfers and Transfer Fees were up because 

of the improved housing market with increased resales of homes and 

new home purchases. The HOA received $585 for every resale and 

new home purchase. 

There was a question about the funding amount of the Reserve Fund 

monies, John said the SSV Reserve fund has 98% coverage. A guideline 

in the industry ranks 70% or better as good. Our 98% is considered 

excellent. An update to the Reserve Study will be performed in April 

2013 and will include the new SanTan Center properties.It was suggested 

that in the future the Prepaid Maintenace Fee (Such as the 2013 

prepaid $880,955) be classified as a separate line item for clarification. 

Manager Report: 

There was an issue with the new SanTan pool not maintaining the 

proper heat level. The original propane flow system was too small. 

Two additional auxiliary tanks have been added to increase the gas 

flow. The pool maintained an 85-86 degree temperature during the 

recent cold spell. Farnsworth will continue to work with the installation 

contractor to develop a permanent fix and proper configuration. 

The Activity Center Courtyard sunscreen is being replaced after 7 years 

with a better quality material that is guaranteed for 12 years. 

There was a walk through with Farnsworth at the SanTan Complex. 

John, Jeff, Activity Director Janet West and the SSVHOA maintenance 

staff participated. There was a punch list of 26 items prepared. Not all 

of the items were construction suggestions but also included several 

management suggestions. Farnsworth is working on their portion and 

the HOA is addressing the rest. 

Bingo contributed $1,100 for the enhanced pool signage at the SanTan 

and Springwood Centers. The signage includes the updated hours for 

children at the pools. 

The original landscape installer for Guadalupe had a 2 month warranty 

on their work. The area was reviewed by an HOA group and a list of 

8 items for correction was addressed. The list included the amount of 

granite applied, dead plants and trimming. After correction, the area 

was then turned over to the HOA. This new property will result in an 

increase in the regular budgeted Landscape expense. 

The Annual Club Representative meeting for the 2013-2014 season 

will be held on the first Wednesday in February. This meeting will 

include sign-up instructions for the various meeting rooms. At least 

one member from each SSV club or group should attend. 

Resident Jim Palfini and the Computer Club are working on improvements 

to the SanTan room WIFI system. $672 should cover the 

cost of the parts, with the Computer Club donating $200, the Village 

Enhancement fund $472 and Jim Palfini his labor. 

There was a surprise visit from the Maricopa County Health Dept. 

They requested that the ash trays be moved to 20 feet from the buildings 

and that NO SMOKING signs be installed at all entry points at 

the Auditorium. Their concerns have been addressed. 

Questions: 

A resident presented the following items: a) Can someone address 

the problem with the south gate at the Springwood gate? The door 

slams back open. b) The bottom surface around the spa looks like 

mold or something. c) The towel dispenser at the Fitness Center is 

very difficult to use. d) Finally, it would be nice if there was a sauna at 

the Fitness Center. John responded that he would look into the items 

reported but there is a question of the practicality of installing a Sauna 

in a desert climate. 

Can something be done with the windows at the new center to reduce 

the glare? John said that the Recreation/Facility committee is already 

getting bids and that the work should be done in the next month or two. 

Is Guadalupe a city street? Yes, but the HOA is responsible for the 

landscaping. Jeff explained that all major city streets are the responsibility 

of the developer and that the responsibility is turned over to the 

HOA as the area is built out. 

Jeff Decker Report: 

SSV had 111 sales last year compared to 54 in 2011. Over 2013 units 

are closed. 44 units are currently under construction and about 3 are 

being started each week. There hasn’t been this much activity in 4-5 

years. Jeff thanked everyone for their repeat and referral business. 

The Annual Farnsworth BBQ is Wednesday March 6, 2013 at the 

ProShop. Everyone is invited to pick-up their tickets at the Sales Office. 

The 2 nd Phase of the Townhomes is under way. The Memory Care 

Center is ready to go pending the state license. 

Additional Questions: 

Are there any spec homes? Jeff said Farnsworth tries to keep 6-8 

available, but they were all sold last year. One is completed now 

with 3-4 being worked on and there is hope there will be 6-8 after 

this summer. Currently, there are 11 spec Townhomes and 9-10 Golf 

Condos as specs. 

How many homes will there be when finished? There will be about 

2800 all together at full build out. This number may vary depending 

on the development in the 2 corner areas of the Village. Condos are 

currently being considered for the Southwest and Southeast corners, 

but if the market changes and houses are in higher demand the final 

build out number will be adjusted. 

When will Meridian be finished? We are not aware of any decisions 

on its completion. Five governmental entities need to agree; Pinal 

County, Maricopa County, Apache Junction, Mesa and Arizona’s 

Department of Transportation. 

Will there be an entrance to Signal Butte from the Southwest or 

Southeast areas when they are developed? That decision won’t be 

made until the final design plans are developed. 

There being no further questions or comments, the meeting was 

adjourned at 10:20 A.M. 

Respectfully submitted,

Village Playhouse 

By Monica Rae Stein 

Another sell-out crowd, another fantastic show! Audience members were greeted 

at the doors and rushed to find seats, while a gallery of photos played on the big screens 

around the auditorium, courtesy of Jane Harrel. What was all the fuss about? None other 

than the Village Playhouse Production of “On the Street Where You Live.” 

Guests enjoyed a huge piece of apple pie with whipped cream, along with coffee 

while they waited anxiously for the show to begin. The lights dimmed, and music 

filled the air as Mary Williams played our title song. Ivan Stein appeared on stage with 

microphone in hand to sing our version of the song aptly named “In the Springs Where 

I Live,” which got the audience in the mood for lots of laughs surrounding the various 

happenings in and around SSV. The show consisted of 14 scenes each geared around an 

activity or event in our community. Besides Ivan, singers were musical director Mary 

Williams, who sang an updated version of “My Favorite Things,” and Dan Radeka, who 

sang about ailments in “Are You Lonesome Tonight.” 

Performers lending their talent on stage included: Bill Shea, Judy Herr, Linda Granquist, 

Linda McAteer, Roberta Feyereisen, John McAteer, Dan Radeka, Don O’Reilly, 

Ann Schubert, Kathy Mitchell, Robert Klein, Judi Ofelt and Jane Harrel. Director 

Monica Rae Stein, thanked the behind-the-scenes crew – Dale and Martha Hawkins, 

Elmer Schaufelberger, Ivan Stein, Dave and Belle Myers, Richard and Helen Denney, 

and Dan and Connie Radeka. The cast took their curtain call bows and made their way 

to the lobby as the audience took their song sheets and joined Mary, Monica and Ivan 

singing “In the Springs Where I Live.”

Cooks Corner 

Featuring John Martin 

By: Jackie Muller 

When John Martin graduated 

from Iowa State University, 

he began his career 

in the construction industry. 

He was too busy building 

schools, hospitals, etc., to 

enjoy his interest of checking 

out historical tales. However, 

now that he is retired and in 

Arizona, he enjoys following 

up on stories of the Lost 

Dutchman and many other 

intriguing tales that are in 

abundance. 

Although John is from 

Iowa, he willingly shared the 

recipe for this Wisconsin soup 

with me. I tried it at one of 

the great buffet meals the Sun 

Duffer golfers have and found 

it irresistible. I hope you will also. This recipe is rich and 

creamy and perfect for cold winter nights. But don’t wait for 

cold weather in Arizona -- go ahead and serve it now. 

WISCONSIN BEER CHEESE SOUP 

12 oz Amber Bock beer 

8 slices bacon 

½ C onions diced 

½ C carrots diced 

½ C celery diced 

¼ C sweet red pepper chopped 

10 ½ oz can condensed chicken broth 

¼ C flour 

1 C half and half 

2 C cheddar cheese 

1 T sugar 

salt and pepper 

Open beer and let stand while chopping veggies. Sauté 

bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble. In large kettle sauté 

veggies until soft in 2 T bacon grease. Add chicken broth. 

Fill chicken can with beer and add to mixture. Bring mixture 

to boil and reduce heat to low. Pour remaining beer in small 

bowl, add flour and whisk. Gradually add flour mixture to 

broth. When thickened, add bacon crumbles, reserving a small 

amount for garnish. Add cheese and heat until it melts. Add 

sugar, salt and pepper to taste, 

Saturday Bunko 

By Joe Fusaro 

We had a record crowd of 21 people. I guess the cold 

weather in January did not stop people who wanted to have 

a good time and play Bunko. We meet at 2:15 PM in the 

Majestic Card room on the second Saturday of every month, 

even in the summer. 

Our players in January were Ada and Warren Wright, 

Agnes O’Byrne, Anna Neumuller, Carol Mc Naughton, Darrell 

and Eva Fitzwater, Dorothy Silbernagel, Ethel Grosse, 

George and Lynda White, George and Midge Perry, Helen 

Oyloe, Irene Olive, Judi Workin, Julia Houck, Linda Sigman, 

Karen Frazer, Joe and Linda Fusaro. 

Bunko is played with dice and is a very simple game to 

learn. We collect $3.00 to be distributed for the seven winning 

categories. 

At the end of Bunko, we also play a game for $1.00 called 

“Left Center Right.” There are two winners in this game. We 

are usually finished by 4:30 PM. 

For more information or for a copy of the playing rules 

for either game, contact me, Joe Fusaro by email at FNC@ 

FNCFNC.com or call 480-951-3674.

March Ladies 

Luncheon 

By Jackie Muller 

It is almost here! The SSV March Ladies Luncheon will 

be held in the Auditorium on Wednesday, March 13, at 11:30 

AM. Tickets for the luncheon are $15.00 and will be available 

in the Activities Office until noon on March 8. 

Our focus is on the Women’s Hope Center in Apache 

Junction. All proceeds will be donated to that organization. 

After a tasty luncheon, we will be treated to an unusual style 

show and a silent auction. We have gathered some neat items, 

so please come prepared to participate in purchasing a treasure. 

On the day of the luncheon, anyone is welcome to donate 

item(s) for the center, and almost any household item is welcome. 

They will be given to the women in need. Arrangements 

will be made for larger items to be picked up. 

We are looking forward to a great time with you!

Computer Club 

By: Jane E. Harrel, President 

We were a month 

late with our election 

of officers, but it really 

didn’t matter. Dick 

Simmon made a motion 

that the same slate 

of officers retain their 

positions for one more 

year. Well…. That was 

fine except for our Secretary, Carlyn Block. 

She could not run because of personal reasons. 

Our officers for the 2013-2014 Season are: 

Jane Harrel President 

Pat Miller Vice President, Programs 

Allen Schaeffer Vice President, Operations 

Rose Seminoe Secretary 

Phil Kalfus Treasurer 

Thank you fellow officers for the fine job 

you will continue to do. We really appreciate 

your skills and abilities. 

Our programs for March will be: 

March 6: Business Meeting (Small Discussion 

Groups, if time allows) 

March 13 TBA 

March 20 Photo Management – Jim Palfini 

March 27 GPS Devices – Don Cook 

We still have classes scheduled for this 

month, the most important of which is the 

Windows 8 Class to be demonstrated by Jerry 

Rogan on March 5 at 1:00 PM. The number 

of students will not be limited as we have 

scheduled the San Tan rooms for this session. 

Bring your laptops and work along with Jerry 

as he shows you how to operate with Windows 

8. If you were one of the lucky ones to have 

attended his classes earlier this year, you 

may also come to this session at no charge. 

Otherwise, Club members will pay $5.00. 

We also invite other SSV residents to come 

for a modest fee of $10. Call Jane Harrel at 

241-4264 for more information. 

The Computer Club meets weekly 

through April each year at the San Tan rooms 

on Wednesday at 10:00 AM. From May 

through September we will meet in the Superstition 

Room at the same time but only on 

the first and third Wednesdays of each month. 

Come on down and join us.

Vagabond Club News 

Karoke Club News 

By: Doris Hevelka and Judy Allen 

Karaoke Club is 

growing fast and having 

lots of fun with new 

equipment in the beautiful 

San Tan facility. February 

1 we had a record 

number of members and 

guests join us at the Karaoke 

Party Night for 

music, food and laughter. 

The following Sunday was the (soon 

to be traditional) Super Bowl Party. A large 

crowd enjoyed plenty of “football fare” and 

enjoyed great views of the game on the big 

screen and TVs. Even the “blackout” seemed 

to be planned so friends and neighbors could 

visit. This free event is the Karaoke Club’s 

way of saying “Thank You” to the Village 

residents for your continued support of our 

Club and events. Mark your calendar for 

February 2, 2014, and the next Super Bowl 

Party. May your team win! 

The Karaoke Club Oldies Dance 

was sold out days before the event. The 

music was reminiscent of our younger days 

and the dance floor was packed all night! 

Still Cruisin’ played everything from The 

Beach Boys to Motown, and even a polka. 

The crowd would not let the band go home

The Sunland Springs Vagabonds had 

a wonderful time on their South America 

Cruise in January. We were blessed with good 

weather and calm seas. Some were lucky 

enough to see a sea lion birth on a rocky island 

in the Beagle Channel. 

On March 30 we will be sailing the 

California Coast for 7-nights and on April 27 

we travel to Italy for a 13-night tour. Space 

is extremely limited on these trips but call if 

you are interested. 

Our Alaska cruise and tour on July 7 is 

sold out but we can get other dates if you 

would like the same trip. Space is still available 

on a 7-night cruise to Alaska round trip 

from Seattle on August 3. The Galapagos 

cruise on November 8 is also sold out. 

On April 1, 2014, we will sail roundtrip 

from Los Angeles to Hawaii, Tahiti and 

Samoa on the Golden Princess. Learn to 

do the hula, snorkel in the beautiful waters 

of Tahiti, enjoy the culture of Samoa or just 

relax onboard and enjoy the many things the 

Golden Princess has to offer. We will take a 

motorcoach to Los Angeles if we have enough 

passengers. This is always a big selling cruise 

so book early to guarantee your space. 

We have two cruises planned with Azamara 

Club Cruises on the Azamara Journey. 

The first is June 14, 2014, from Hamburg to 

Copenhagen. The cruise follows the Norwegian 

Coast all the way to the Arctic Circle and 

the North Cape. Visit many small towns and 

villages in Norway and enjoy the fantastic 

scenery along the coast. Then on June 28 sail 

from Copenhagen to Stockholm to the Baltic 

Sea and Russia. Visit Germany, Denmark, 

Poland, Estonia, Russia, Finland and Sweden 

on this wonderful cruise. Or, book both of 

these back to back cruises for an exciting 

voyage in Northern Europe. Azamara Club 

Cruises includes an evening event ashore, all 

drinks (both soft and alcohol), gratuities, self 

service laundry and shuttle service from the 

ports. The ship only holds 670 passengers 

and will sell out quickly. 

until they had played an extra set. Thanks 

so much to all the members who helped with 

the set-up and clean-up. Special thanks to 

everyone who attended for making this such 

a fun dance. The 50/50 winner took home a 

whopping $200! 

Get your tickets now for the March 9 Variety 

Show, “Mental Release”. Outstanding 

Village talent will be showcased. It promises 

to be a great time. 

Plan to join us at Karaoke Party night at 

7:00 p.m. on the first Friday of every month in 

the San Tan Center. You do not have to sing, 

but come along and you will leave smiling. 

Bring a snack to share, if you like, and your 

own beverage. 

Village Resident: “The sign on the restaurant 

door says, 

‘FRIDAY NIGHT KARAOKE.’” 

Resident’s Wife: “Let’s go! But what kind 

of fish IS that?” 

SSV Book Club 

By: Peggy Schafer 

On Friday, April 5, the Book Club will 

be discussing Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. 

This novel tells the story of two well-educated 

sisters, Pearl and May, who have grown up 

in comfort in Shanghai in the 1930’s. When 

their father loses his fortune and sells his 

daughters to a wealthy Chinese-American as 

brides for his sons, the girls refuse to go to 

America. They are forced to reconsider when 

Japanese bombs destroy the city and their 

parents disappear. 

The girls arrive at Ellis Island and are 

detained and humiliated for months before 

they meet their intended husbands. They learn 

to forget their former rivalry and rely on each 

other as they face the challenges of their new 

life, taking what comfort they can from their 

former customs and culture. 

This will be our last meeting until November. 

Everyone is welcome and encouraged 

to share insights and opinions as well as 

suggestions for future selections. 

When: First Friday of each month November 

- April 

Where: Superstition Room 

Time: 1:30 to 3:00 PM

SSV Writers 

Club 

By: Nan Miller 

If you like to 

see your words on 

paper or computer, 

talent level does 

not matter, you 

will want to check 

out the SSV Writers 

Club. This very 

friendly support 

group of a dozen 

writers meets on the 

first and third Thursdays 

of each month 

in the Summit Card Room from 10 AM to 

noon. In March, our sessions are the 7 and 21. 

The SSV Writers Club ranges from 

novices to those who have published books. 

Some enjoy composing nonfiction while others 

concentrate on fiction. Anyone who has 

an interest in writing or wants to improve 

their craft is always welcome. Emphasis is on 

writing not business. We continue to charge 

no fees or dues. 

We decide each time on a brief exercise 

to compose between sessions. At the meetings, 

we share our words. Those who prefer 

to bring a piece they are working on are 

welcome to do so. Those seeking critiques 

should bring copies of their work so they can 

receive written comments of others. 

Nan Miller, a professional travel writer, is 

coordinator. For questions, if you would like 

to learn what the present assignment is, or if 

you would like to attend our group, call her 

at (480) 984-1852. We hope to see you there.

Kate had a number of problems with her 

expensive, regular technology hearing aids. 

Even though they cost thousands of dollars, 

they still didn’t help her hear well in a noisy 

environment. Kate needed an aid that would 

reduce the background noise while enhancing 

the volume. Sam developed two technologies, 

one that can tell the difference from a human 

sound and other sounds, like wind and tires, and

of the wearer. The combination eliminates up to 

90% of unwanted noise, enhancing the voice. 

This made a huge impact on Kate’s life. To Sam’s 

dismay, Kate went on a date. She came home very 

excited, not about the boy, but because when the 

boy asked her what the waitress had said, she 

was able to tell him. Sam was so thankful that he 

could give this to her.
