Please plan to arrive at the clubhouse by 10:15 to sign up. In April, you may form your own group.

We will have a variety of on course formats and special features (see information posted on the bulletin board at the Glenn Center). If you have any questions, contact BILL WEBB, 740-835-8267. BRISTOL VILLAGE GARDEN TOUR Mark your calendar for the June 24th and 25th Bristol Village Garden Tour. Plan for our plantings to look their best as we welcome visitors from Garden Clubs and Senior Centers from throughout the state and beyond. The Garden Tour committee will show off the railroad gardens, the Crop Corps gardens, and the Cooper Wildflower Woods as well as 5 or 6 clusters of home gardens. Each cluster will consist of 2 to 5 home gardens. Refreshments will be offered at some of the houses and the Terrace Café will serve dinner on Friday and brunch on Saturday. Please call or email NORMA DUPIRE, 740-912-9151 or [email protected] if you would like your garden to be open for the tour or if you have questions or ideas about the tour. Also, please call or write her if you would like help in planting your free flat of flowers or if you are willing to help plant flowers for someone who needs assistance. This will give our landscape crew more time to beautify the common areas of the Village. We are proud of our beautiful campus; this is an opportunity to show it off. LIVING GREEN Here in Bristol Village, we can do some traditional recycling using the bins just outside the White Elephant building. Although one bin says “newspaper,” you can actually recycle catalogs there, or magazines you don’t want. The best catalog strategy for things you really don’t want is to use each company’s toll-free (800, 866, whatever) number and ask the customer service rep to take you OFF their mailing list. Then tear off your name label and recycle the catalog in the newspaper bin. Our BV Library can handle just 2 copies of any magazine each month, and they have NO need for catalogs. You can also get rid of that old collection of National Geographic magazines or whatever. The bin labeled “aluminum cans” is also OK for mostly clean, balled up aluminum foil and those occasional aluminum pans you don’t want to keep. Just be sure things are close to clean—resident raccoons and other critters are attracted to our food just as we are! —-Verdant Girl Page 4 BUGLE YOU ARE INVITED… Friday, April 29th, 2:30 p.m., Cooper Wildflower Woods For those of us who enjoy and are interested in the Cooper Wildflower Woods, Ann Bonner of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will spend the afternoon of Friday, April 29th with us. An expert on both trees and wild flowers, she has offered to lead a walk through the Woods, talking about the trees, flowers, and other plants there. If you love the Woods, whether you are able to do physical work there or not, we hope you will join us for this enjoyable and informative event. Yes, you can bring a camera with you! If you need a walker or wheelchair, come with it. There will be room for all who are interested. We will meet at the Cooper Wildflower Woods at 2:30 p.m. After the walk we will adjourn to the Glenn Center multi-purpose room for refreshments. Ann will answer our questions and give us ideas we can use when planning how to maintain and further develop the Cooper Wildflower Woods. As you will see, she is a great resource for us. ANNUAL B.V. YARD SALE A Village wide yard sale has been a tradition at Bristol Village for longer than anyone can remember. On Memorial Day weekend, anyone in the Village can hold an individual sale. Traditionally, about 35 residents will set up tables at their residences and offer a wide variety of items. This event is widely advertised in local papers and social media. Every year the cost of these ads rise. Anyone wishing to have a sale that day is required to pay $3 toward this cost. In return, they receive the benefit of this advertising as well as the support of the Yard Sale Committee. The committee places signs at our entrances and along the streets directing traffic to all sales They provide a handout to visitors showing the location of all sales. Two red balloons are also supplied to be hung at all locations so that visitors can readily recognize all sale sites. Tables can be borrowed from the Village by calling Tonya at the B.V. Office, 740-947-2118. A work order charge of $10 will be added to your monthly statement. There is a limit of 2 tables per address. Now’s the time to clean out your attic and closets. Ask yourself if you are ever going to use some of that stuff! Do you really need separate sets of dishes for each meal? Can you live without that huge lamp you received as a 30th anniversary gift? When’s the last time you went snorkeling? Gather your sale items, price them to sell, and call ETHEL SMITH, 740-947-4617 to sign up. Ethel will collect your $3 and provide the balloons. VOLUME 51, ISSUE #10 PIKE PET PALS SALE Pike Pet Pals, the only organization helping dogs at the Pike County Dog Pound, will hold its Great Annual Yard Sale on the Glenn Center Walking Track on Saturday, April 2nd, from 8:00 a.m.— 12:00 noon. There will be items for sale to suit every member of the family, from tools and toys to dishes and décor. In addition to the huge yard sale, there will be a Chinese auction featuring items donated by businesses and members of the Pike County community. A bake sale will offer delicious things to eat and usually sells out early, so come early and get your munchies before they’re all gone. This event is a major fundraiser for Pike Pet Pals and enables the organization to provide shots and medications to all incoming dogs at the pound. Dogs that require more medical attention are taken to Chillicothe Animal Clinic for care. Pike Pet Pals also provides supplies for the pound including dog food, cleaning supplies, straw, collars, and leashes. Volunteers from Pike Pet Pals spend many hours every week caring for the dogs at the pound. They also arrange for Rescues to take dogs and transport them to the new locations. Rescues are people and organizations that will keep dogs until they can be adopted out. Every year, Pike Pet Pals delivers about 900 dogs to rescues where they eventually find homes. Pike Pet Pals schedules spay and neuter clinics. The next one will be on April 19th. For more information visit Pike Pet Pals on Facebook. We hope you’ll come to the Glenn Center on April 2nd to support this organization. Your dollars will help salve hundreds of dogs’ lives. Page 5 BV TOURS BV TOURS NEWS AND NOTES From CAROL FOELL DUCKS A few years ago, when we lived in the Cincinnati area, I took this tour. It was fun, and we learned a lot about Northern Kentucky history and the early history of Cincinnati. We have been assured by the company that their Ducks are safe. We plan to stop for lunch after our tour. This will not be a comprehensive tour of Cincinnati, but rather a history of the riverfront areas which were the first to develop and have a “checkered” past. We expect this to be an entertaining jaunt with a lunch to follow at your expense. Please sign up on the BV Tours Bulletin Board. We need to have 30 travelers combined with those from Sandy’s Travel for this tour to operate. CHAUTAUQUA I also want to suggest that you consider the Chautauqua in Gallipolis excursion. This will prove to be an excursion at a very low cost and historically interesting and entertaining. Our first stop will be a visit to Bob Evans Farm with time for a meal. Afterwards we’ll continue to Gallipolis. The park where Chautauqua will take place is scenic and overlooks the Ohio River. We will listen to Chief Cornstalk, portrayed by an actor, tell about his life as an Indian born in Pennsylvania and his part in the Revolutionary War. Your cost will be $10 per person, plus your meal at Bob Evans Farm and a small donation at your discretion to Chautauqua. This is an affordable day trip with your Bristol Village friends! LA COMEDIA We have added a La Comedia performance date on October 27th. We need to have at least 30 participants including those from Sandy’s Travel in Chillicothe for any of these tours to operate. Some of our departures already have a waitlist, but don’t despair. If Sandy doesn’t fill her quota we will be able to take those seats. We will be looking at our “counts” in the days prior to your payment due date and I hope we will be able to clear the waitlist at that time. 2016 TOURS AND FINAL PAYMENT DATES MAY 24th - RIDE THE DUCKS – $35 per person and payment due April 20th JUNE 21st – CHAUTAUQUA IN GALLIPOLIS – $10 per person and payment due May 17th JULY 3rd – B&B RIVERBOAT AND FIREWORKS - $63 per person and payment due May 31st SEPTEMBER 14th – MARIETTA VALLEY GEM RIVERBOAT AND LOCKS TOUR - $54 per person and payment due August 5th OCTOBER 15th-16th– MURDER MYSTERY TRAIN - $285 per person double occupancy hotel & $346 single hotel occupancy.
