We started this year a
little differently by
electing a Chairpersonwhogoesnorthforthesummer
and a Vice-Chairperson
who is here year-round. Since
ChairpersonLindaFletcherhad
to leave for Michigan early in
March, I ran theApril and May
meetings. Those meetings were more casual than usual – formal is not my style – but I
don’t think any of the residents minded. We laughed and ate cookies, and still had short
meetings.
Under my reign we had a Patio Party on April 5, featuring Mickey who did a wonderful
job. About forty persons attended and thanks to your donations to the hat, Mickey
was paid at a better rate than we had expected. Then a few days later we had the Easter
dinner, another great success. In May and June we had Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
Breakfasts.
July brought the Fourth of July Dinner, which was delicious. On August 2 we had
another Patio Party with Michael Hastings entertaining us. The weather was too warm
to be on the patio so we moved into the clubhouse. We had only twenty-seven attendees,
but we had fun.
And finally, on August 12 we had a Continental Breakfast. We served sausage gravy
with biscuits, a variety of baked goods, a large assortment of tropical fruits, coffee, tea,
mimosas, and orange juice. We had the best committee ever: Lue Mauge, Milli Ricci,
Ronnie Dittus, Paul and Janet Fether, John Boline and Carol Lemke, Judy Gray, my husband
Bob and our son Casey. We sold thirty-eight tickets. Thanks to these volunteers.
They are terrific.
And thanks to you, Donna. You also are terrific!
