Just a couple of things…..
Because of dates for the magazine articles to be submitted
to our publisher we are unable to publish resumes of those
running for the board until the November issue. In years gone
by the petitions had to be in earlier and so we were able to
publish them in October. If you aren’t sure who you want to
vote for, wait for our November issue and decide by reading
the resumes submitted. Look for them also in the Weekly
Bulletin.
If anyone has any suggestions on ways to make this
magazine any more interesting to read, please feel free to let
us know by a note in our magazine box in the office. This is
a magazine for The Villages and the staff tries hard to make
it interesting for all the residents.
Don’t forget to check weekly for date of flu shots given
at the clubhouse this month.

The Villages Association Board of Trustees Annual
Election Meeting is November 16, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. Three
(3) seats will be available to run for in the November Board
of Trustees election. Any Villages homeowner resident in
good standing and having resided here for at least one (1)
year as of November 1, 2016 is eligible to seek election
to the Board of Trustees. As mentioned in the September
2016 issue of The Villages News Magazine, Petition Forms
were available in the Management Office if anyone was
interested in running. The petition form required signatures
of twenty-five (25) unit owner members in good standing;
Owners may sign more than one petition. The deadline for
Petitions to be received in the Management Office was
Friday, September 30, 2016, 5:00 p.m. Candidates were
notified that their resumes were due in the Management
Office by Friday, September 30, 2016, to make the deadline
for the November issue of The Villages News Magazine.
Resumes will be posted on the Clubhouse bulletin board
on October 6, 2016. Resumes will also appear in the
October 6, 2016 through November 10, 2016 Weekly
Newsletters. “Meet the Candidates” Night is Wednesday,
October 19, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. Questions? Stop by or call
the Management Office at 732-431-1646.
Common Areas – Contact The Villages Association
Office for approval before you plant shrubs or trees. This
also applies to removing shrubs, limbs, or trees. If you
receive approval, in some cases a mark-out might be
required to ensure there are no underground utility wires
in that area.
Parking – You may have read this before, but it is
worth repeating. Over 40 years ago when The Villages was
built, the builder planned for 1 car per unit. There are now
approximately 2+ cars per unit. If your unit has a garage and
driveway, please park your vehicles there. Units without
a garage and driveway have one numbered parking spot.
Guest spots throughout the community are for residents’
guests. Some residents require at home nursing or hospice
care and the professionals who assist them are faced with
the challenge of finding a parking spot. If you must use a
guest spot, please move your vehicle periodically, since
no one should “adopt” or feel that they own a guest spot.
The parking area by Bldg. 166 is not a commuter parking
lot. Also, throughout The Villages, especially Village I,
the streets are narrow, so please do not park on the street.
If you are wondering why, the reason is to allow clear
passage for emergency vehicles should the situation arise.
Violators will have their vehicles tagged and towed at the
vehicle owner’s expense.
Have you noticed that so many people are in a big
hurry? Where is the rush? The highways, stores, everywhere
you go, I am sure you are faced with the “me-firsters.” An
ongoing concern are the drivers in The Villages. Please
slow down, obey the 25 mph speed limit, and, yes, the Yield
and Stop Signs are there for a reason. Slow down, enjoy
life, and especially enjoy the Autumn Season.
In September’s Villages News Magazine
there were some errors and few color pages.
Our publisher experienced some issues that
also delayed the printing of the magazine.
We apologize for any inconvenience and
hope our readers realize sometimes things
are out of our control.

ALL ABOUT HOWELL
By Marlene Sorge
A few months ago I wrote an article about the Howell
Senior Center. Many residents of The Villages go to the
center on a regular basis. I have been a member since
2001. My years as a member have been busy, fun, and
enjoyable. Those years have been spent making friends,
and enjoying the activities that they offer. There have been
so many learning experiences through ceramic teachers,
many different craft teachers and by the staff there. There
have been many trips, member participant shows, pen pal
programs, health fair programs, entertainment, numerous
computer classes, and so many other things too numerous
to mention. I venture to say the center has meant so much
to me and my years there have been good ones.
Recently, there was some updating to the building and
grounds. I never realized how important four beautiful
paintings, that were a constant on the walls in the recreation
room, were until they were gone. It felt to me like a part
of Howell was gone from me forever. I quickly found out,
though, that the paintings were to be put on display at our
Howell Township Municipal Building on Route 9 North
in Howell, across from the Southard Fire Company. The
room at the center was not the same. I wonder how many
of you felt the same when you noticed them missing? My
anxiety was building and I was anxious to visit their new
home at the municipal building. The day finally arrived
and I walked into the building with my camera in hand and
took the elevator to the second floor to see the paintings. Oh
my, I was so impressed by what had been done with these
treasures. If you have never seen these paintings you must
go to the municipal building and feast your eyes on these
four masterpieces. The history, landscapes, and landmarks
were captured in a way that takes you back in time and to
preserve these historic treasures. If you have never seen
these paintings it is worth the trip to see them.
Carol Zur, recently retired Director of The Howell
Township Department of Senior Services had this to say.
“Each of Evelyn’s murals represented a season and how
she viewed that specific season in Howell Township.
You can see many different Howell landmarks in each
painting, not necessarily grouped by proximity, but, rather,
grouped in the way Evelyn interpreted their symbolism and
connection. I don’t know exactly when the murals were
completed, but they were already hung up on the walls of
the Center when I started in 1988.”
“Evelyn loved the Senior Center and her murals were
painstakingly made as a gift to the Center and to the
Township.”
“A self portrait was given by Evelyn to Marie Beres,
who, for many years, was the Howell nutrition site manager
or Interfaith Neighbors, Inc. The picture hung in Marie’s
office for all to enjoy until she retired in 2014.”
Evelyn Phillips is the artist who gave us this incredible
gift. I knew her only as a member of the center. I don’t
think I ever even spoke to her. She passed away quite a
few years ago. The only connection I had with Evelyn was
being in the craft class that made satin skirts for a skit in a
show that Evelyn performed in at the center. I saw the show
and enjoyed it. Evelyn had a remarkable talent and we are
blessed to have her paintings displayed in our municipal
building. The murals are quite large. These photographs
were taken by an employee at the municipal building. The
murals are quite large, 4ft by 8ft!
Gardening Tips
for October
Prune back perennials such as
Hydrangea & Azalea.
Leave those that provide food
for birds, including Coneflowers &
Black eyed Susans, as well as those that add winter interest
such as Ornamental Grasses, Sedum & Yarrow.
Remove annuals, including roots. Dispose of diseased
plants in the garbage. Cool & cloudy weather is ideal for
transplanting perennials. Make sure you have six weeks
before the ground freezes so that they can settle in the new
location before winter. Plant winter & spring blooming
bulbs.
For indoor plants cut back on fertilizing Container
plants can be re-potted anytime during the growing season.
Keep holiday cactus in a cool, dark location from sundown
to sunrise. Brighten up the garden with a colorful array of
potted Mums.
Now that you have 'winterized' your garden. Relax
&Enjoy your plants long winters nap. AKA Dormancy!!!

What is it? Where is it?
The What is it ,Where is it was an idea of our former
magazine Editor Jane Harvey. Jane, with camera in hand
would take walks around the Villages and come up with
some unique pictures for us to guess what they were and
where they were.
Charlie Hildebrandt has found one such one for us
with the above picture.
For the answer look on page 19
HI NEIGHBOR!
I would like you to meet our
neighbor for this month, Nancy
Hoppe, who moved to the Villages
with her late husband some 12-13
years ago. Previously they had
been living in Keyport for some 35
years. After that many years they
were ready to make their lives a little
easier—they then started looking at
developments similar to the Villages.
They visited many places but still
did not get the feeling of “this is it”
until they rode thru the Villages, and
today, here we are happy to have
Nancy as one of our neighbors.
Nancy is a cancer survivor, and very proud to be
one. She worked hard on her recovery always doing as
prescribed, and always keeping a positive attitude. She is
cancer free as of April 2016.
Nancy was born in Jersey City where she met her
husband when he was working in a nearby grocery store.
Not until 10 years later did they get married. Nancy’s
husband was in the service from 1966 until 1972, with
Nancy traveling with him from base to base. Their first
son was born while they were traveling according to
his transfers, covering many state in their travels. Their
favorite being CA where they went camping as often as
time would allow them. They did travel cross country
four to five times and saw some beautiful sites treasures
of the USA.
Nancy has two sons, and two grandsons. One son
lives locally and one lives in NC. She has two sisters
and one brother (all living in NJ) Nancy being the oldest
of her siblings. She was very young when she learned to
cook (between eight and nine years old) and at that age she
cooked her first Thanksgiving dinner.
Nancy has two rescued cats. She loves telling you all
about their adventures. To Nancy they are her babies, and
she talks to them as it they really understand her.
Nancy has been a teacher, covering all grades from
Kindergarten thru Jr. High School. After she had been
retired from teaching she decided to return to work. This
time she took a position in a local medical office and stayed
there for several years until the office changed hands.
Nancy’s gift of sewing is from her mother-in-law’s
influence, and she has developed into a great craft maker
with the help of her sewing. She takes part in festivals and
fairs, going to schools for their seasonal fairs. She also
participates in additional festivals and fairs. Right now she
is getting ready for different Christmas showings
Another part of Nancy’s background is when she and
her husband became involved with the Blue Claws baseball
team. From 2006 until 2011 they hosted several players
who were here from other countries, such as Dominican
Republic, Venezuela, etc., and sometimes from all over the
U.S. They stayed with the Hoppes while their teams played
at the Blue Claws stadium. It was interesting to learn the
players’ different backgrounds and news of their countries
foods, religion, etc. The players came to be family. In
addition to all of the above, Nancy has now stepped forward
to take over the job of being the new ceramics teacher for
the Villages. This is one busy lady and we are glad to have
her living in the Villages. It was great talking with Nancy
and hearing all about her past and current talents.
If anyone wished to be interviewed, please call me at
732-303-8910. I am sure we must have some nice Villagers
that we would love to hear from.

Believe it or Not
(for Halloween)
In 1824 a retired carpenter named
Lozier stood on a soapbox in New
York City and announced that because
of all the new buildings , the south tip
of Manhattan Island had become too
heavy and was in danger of sinking. His fix: Saw the island
off at the northern end, tow it out to sea, turn it 180 degrees
and reattach it. Claiming that Mayor Stephen Allen had put
him in charge of the project, Lozier signed up hundreds
of laborers, offering triple wages to anyone willing to saw
underwater. He directed blacksmiths and carpenters to
begin designing the 100-foot saws and 250-foot oars needed
to saw the island and tow it out to sea. He also arranged
for the construction of barracks and a mess hall for his
laborers, and the delivery of 500 cattle, 500 hogs and 3,000
chickens. After two months of planning, the date arrived
for construction to begin. Scores of laborers, carpenters,
blacksmiths, butchers and animals-as well as a marching
band and hundreds of onlookers-arrived at Spring Street
and Bowery to see the historic project get underway. About
the only person who didn't show up was Lozier, who'd
suddenly left town " on account of his health." He was
actually hiding in Brooklyn, and although there was talk
of having him arrested, he wasn't. Why? The authorities
didn't want to admit they'd been duped.
Former actress Eva " Evita "
Peron became a crusader for the
poor in 1940's Argentina. Her
husband Juan was the president
of the country from 1948 to 1954.
When she died of cancer in 1952
at age 33, Juan had her mummified and put on public display. The procedure took about
a year and cost $100,000. The president fell from power
while his wife was still lying in state, and went into exile
in Spain before he could arrange for her burial. Evita was
put in storage in Buenos Aires. Then her body vanished.
It turned out that anti-Peronists-making sure the body was
never seen again used as a pro-political symbol-had stolen
the coffin, sealed it in a packing crate and buried it in a
Milan cemetery. In 1971-19 years later, a sympathetic
Spanish officer told Peron where his wife was buried.
Peron had her exhumed and brought to Spain. When Peron
pried open the coffin, his wife was so well preserved that
he cried out " She is not dead, she is only sleeping. Rather
than bury his beloved Evita again, Peron kept her around
the house; he and his third wife, Isabel, propped her up
in the dining room and ate with her every evening, even
when they entertained guests. The arrangement lasted until
1973, when Peron returned to power in Argentina and left
his beloved mummy in Spain. Later, Evita was brought
across the Atlantic and buried in Argentina.

Happy Halloween!
It’s Sports Time!
By Joe Barbone
CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS! This
is a Latin phrase meaning:“FASTER,
HIGHER, STRONGER!” This is the
motto of the Olympics proposed by Pierre
de Coubertin in 1894, and adopted as
official in 1924.
Coubertin’s Olympic ideals are expressed in the
Olympic creed:
“THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE
OLYMPIC GAMES IS NOT TO WIN BUT TO
TAKE PART, JUST AS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IN LIFE IS NOT THE TRIUMPH BUT THE
STRUGGLE. THE ESSENTIAL THING IS NOT TO
HAVE CONQUERED BUT TO HAVE FOUGHT
WELL.”
This year the Olympics took place in Rio de Janeiro.
This was the first time that the Olympics took place on the
South American continent. The Olympic Games opened
on Friday, August 5, with a spectacular ceremony. Once
the official ceremony ended, then the Parade of Nations
occurred. Every nation’s athletes participating in the
Olympics are part of this custom. The athletes could
number as few as 1 or 2, or a few hundred, such as the
United States. Once all the athletes are assembled in the
stadium, then the Olympic Flag is carried into the stadium
and hoisted on the flag pole. The Olympic Flag consists of
five intertwined colored rings on a white field. The colors
are blue, yellow, black, green and red. These colors were
chosen because every nation has at least one of the colors in
its national flag. The five rings represent the five inhabited
continents: Africa, America, Asia, Oceania and Europe.
The flag was adopted in 1914 and flown for the first time
at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. It is
hoisted at each Olympic Games.
Months before the Olympic Games begin, the Olympic
Flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, in a ceremony that reflects
ancient Greek rituals. A female performer, acting as a
priestess, ignites the torch by placing it in a parabolic mirror
which focuses on the sun’s rays. She then lights the torch
of the first relay bearer, thus initiating the Olympic torch
relay that will carry the flame to the host city’s Olympic
Stadium, where it is brought into the stadium, and lights
the Olympic Cauldron, after the flag is hoisted on the flag
pole. The flame will burn during the entire Olympic Games.
The flame has been an Olympic Symbol since 1928, but
the torch relay was introduced at the 1936 Summer Games
in Berlin, to promote the Third Reich.
The program for the Olympic Games consists of
35 sports, 30 disciplines and 408 events. Many of the
sports are present at each Olympics, but there are sports
that are subtracted or added in each Olympics. Athletics,
swimming, fencing and artistic gymnastics are the only
sports that have been a part of every Olympic Games.
Others, like baseball and softball, golf, rugby and others
have been dropped or added to the Games. Olympic
sports are governed by internationals sports federations
(IFs) recognized by the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) as the global supervisor of these sports. There are
35 federations represented at the IOC. Once the Olympic
Games are over, program revisions occur at the first IOC
meeting. This is when sports are included or dropped,
depending on a 2/3 majority vote of the members of the
IOC. For example, baseball and softball were dropped
from this year’s Olympic Games, but will be added for
the 2020 Olympics. In 2002, the IOC limited the Summer
Games to a maximum of 28 sports, 301 events, and 10,500
athletes. This number was maintained at the Rio Games,
and will again occur at the 2020 Olympic Games. There
are all sorts of behind the scenes discussions for upcoming
Olympic Games, with each federation trying to promote
a particular sport.
Women were first allowed to compete in the Olympic
Games in 1900, in Paris. This was four years after the
beginning of the Olympic Games of the Modern Era, which
began in 1896, in Greece. Yet, at the 1992 Olympic Games,
35 countries fielded all male teams. Obviously, all of this
has changed over the course of these years. At the 2012
Olympic Games in London, England, for the first time in
Olympic history, every country competing included female
athletes. This year’s United States Olympic Team included
more female athletes than male!
While the motto of the Olympics is to take part, the
goal is always to win. Winning means striving to get a gold
medal in a particular sport. There are three medals awarded
to the winners of each sport. Gold Medals are given to the
first place winner, Silver to the second place, and Bronze of
the third. Sometimes there are multiple medals, depending
on ties. While most competitions are individual, there
are some team sports, and so, every member of the team
receives an appropriate medal.
This year’s United States Olympic Team is one of the
most diverse teams ever. The team is composed of athletes
who are older, younger, of different ethnic, racial and
religious backgrounds. Many have participated in previous
Olympics, while many are participating for the first time.
The makeup of the team made it one of the most unique
teams at the Olympics.
The Olympic Team from New Jersey is reflective of
this diversity. There are 32 residents of New Jersey who
were part of the Olympic Team, and they participated in a
variety of sports. They are:
Laurie Hernandez, Gymnastics; Ibtihaj Mohammad,
Fencing; Jordan Burroughs, Men’s Wrestling; Sydney
McLaughlin, Women’s 400 Meter Hurdles; Robby
Andrews, Men’s 1,500 Meter Race; Kelsi Worrell,
Women’s Swimming; Matt Emmons, Men’s Shooting;
Tracy Eisser, Women’s Rowing; Nick Delpopolo, Judo;
Carli Lloyd, Women’s Soccer; English Gardner, Women’s
100 Meter Dash; Kyrie Irving, Men’s Basketball; Lauren
Schmetterling, Women’s Rowing; Tobin Heath, Women’s
Soccer; Connor Jaeger, Men’s Swimming; Joe Maloy,
Men’s Triathlon; Keturah Orji, Women’s Triple Jump;
Christina Epps, Women’s Triple Jump; Colton Brown,
Judo; Frank Molinaro, Men’s Wrestling; Dagmara
Wozniak, Women’s Fencing; Mariella Hall, Women’s
10,000 Meter Race; Jeff Porter, Men’s 110 Meter Hurdles;
Nia Ali, Women’s 100 Meter Hurdles; Sam Ojsekis, Men’s
Rowing; Steven Kasprzyk, Men’s Rowing; Ajee Wilson,
Women’s 800 Meter Race; Shakur Stevenson, Men’s
Boxing; Rachel Dawson, Women’s Field Hockey; Michelle
Vittese, Women’s Field Hockey; Ronnie Ash, Men’s 110
Meter Hurdles.
At the closing ceremony, while all the athletes are
gathered as in the Opening Ceremony, three national flags
are hoisted while the corresponding national anthems are
played. They are; the flag of the host country, Greece, the
birthplace of the Olympics, and the flag of the country
hosting the next games. The president of the organizing
committee and the president of the IOC make their closing
speeches, and the Games are officially closed. The Olympic
Flame is extinguished. In what is known as the Antwerp
Ceremony, named for the city that organized the Games, a
special Olympic Flag is transferred to the president of the
IOC, who then passes it on to the mayor of the city hosting
the next Olympic Games.

ANOTHER REASON FOR
BELIEVING
By Henry Hernandez
During the last seven
years I have written about
the migration patterns of
land, sea and air animals,
in order to raise awareness
of the existence of an
intelligent being. Now let
me tell you about another
creature, whose migratory
patterns continue to
mystify the scientific world.
Shearwaters are medium –sized long winged sea birds.
There are more than 30 species of shearwaters. These birds
are most common in temperate and cold waters. These tube
nose birds fly with stiff wings and use a “shearing” flight
technique, (flying very close to the water and seemingly
cutting or shearing the tips of waves,) to move across wave
fronts with the minimum of active flight. They feed on fish,
squid and similar oceanic food. Some will follow fishing
boats to take scraps. These birds also commonly follow
whales to feed on fish disturbed by them. Their primary
technique for feeding is diving and some species diving as
much as 230 ft. under water.
Shearwaters are long –lived. A shearwater breeding on
Copeland Island, Northern Ireland, is currently the oldest
known wild bird in the world: ringed as an adult (at least
5 years old) in July 1953, it was retrapped in July 2003, at
least 55 years old..
Many are long-distance migrants, perhaps most
spectacularly the sooty shearwaters, which is the
undisputed holder of the record of having the longest
migration of any animal on Earth after being tracked using
electronic tracking technology. They cover distances in
excess of 8,700 miles from their breeding colony on the
Falkland Islands to as far north as the North Atlantic Ocean
off northern Norway.
Here I must add that, scientists all agree that the most
amazing aspect of bird migration is that the location, route
and perhaps even the technique are hard-wired into their
brains. Birds are famously good navigators. Some migrate
thousands of miles, flying day and night, even when the
stars are obscured. For decades scientists have known that
one navigational skill they employ is an ability to detect
variations in the earth’s magnetic field. It’s a stunning
ability. The secrets of their amazing navigational skills
remain largely hidden. Migrating birds often travel the
same course year after year with little deviation in the
path followed. First year birds may migrate un-escorted
to a winter home they have never before seen and return
the following spring to the area in which they were born.
Birds use the sun as a compass using the positions
of the sun during the day to navigate. They also can use
the setting sun as an indication of due west. Night flyers
use celestial navigation, which means they find their way
by knowing the patterns of the stars in the sky, and by
knowing special stars like the North Star. In their first year
of life, birds memorize the position of the constellations
in relation to the North Star. These star patterns stay the
same even though the Earth moves through space, making
the constellations appear to move to different spots in the
sky during the year.
Scientists still have more questions than answers about
birds and their migration behavior. They wonder how is it
possible for these creatures to navigate the many thousands
of miles across the world and still return to the same place
of origin. A great majority of the scientific world now
maintains that it is unquestionably the work of a good
creator who infused instinct into otherwise helpless little
creatures. Wouldn’t you agree that bird migration is another
reason for believing in the existence of an intelligent being?
Bookworms Review
For the month of August, the club read
The River King by Alice Hoffman. Most of
us gave the book a favorable review because
it held your interest once you were able to
figure our who everyone was.(the first few chapters were
confusing). We all agreed, however, how disturbed we
were by the bullying some kids had to endure at this elite
private school in Massachusetts. Most upsetting was the
horrendous description of the torture one student had to
undergo. Although this act resulted in the student's death,
those responsible were never truly brought to justice,
We thought that some parts were hard to believe and
some incidents truly stretched your imagination. Another
negative was that not all ends were tied up at the end of
the book. It is interesting to note that one of our members
saw the movie which differed in the most essential parts
of the book. That's Hollywood! The River King generated
a rating of 3.4.
Our September read is A Man Called Ove by Fredrik
Backman, which also has been made into a movie due to
come out soon. The meeting will be on September 26 at
11am. The October read is A Reliable Wife by Robert
Goolrick. All meetings take place in the downstairs TV
room of the clubhouse. Hope to see you there!

Does a veterinarian have a constitutional right to offer
animal advice on line?
Take from the Readers Digest date 4/16
CASE OF THE VIRTUAL VET
solution on page 19
Written by: Vicki Glembocki
In 2002, A DISABILITY
forced veterinarian Ronald Hines,
who lives in Texas, to give up his
practice after more than 30 years.
In his retirement, he started a
website, 2ndchance.info, to post
general articles about health and
care. Soon he was inundated with
e-mails from pet owner all over the world—many without
access to a veterinarian or the means to pay one—asking
for his guidance. In 2003, he began charging for his
service, which he offered by e-mail or phone. By 2011,
he was charging a flat fee of $58 and that year, grossed
nearly $2,800.
However, on March 19, 2012, Hines received
notification from the Texas State Board of Veterinary
Medical Examiners that he was breaking the law. It turned
out he was in violation of a statue of the Texas Veterinary
Licensing Act that prohibits practicing veterinary medicine
without physically examining the animal, which is
considered“outside the context of a formal veterinary—
client patient relationship.” The statute explicitly states
that the relationship “may not be established solely by
telephone or electronic means.” Hines immediately
stopped his service.
His formal punishment included a yearlong suspension
of his license starting in March 2013, a $500 fine, and
retaking the legal portion of the veterinary licensing exam.
In April 2013, Hines filed a lawsuit in federal court
against the nine members of the state board, claiming that
they had violated his constitutional rights, including his
First Amendment right to free speech.
‘If a vet gives a speech to the general public or writes
a book, everyone agrees it’s protected,” notes Jeff Rowes,
a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice in
Virginia who represented Hines. “But when he’s
speaking to one person, giving individually tailored advice,
it’s not?“
Though the state has long-established authority to
regulate professional conduct (such as requiring a vet to
physically examine animals.) Hines argued that the advice
he’d given was not to conduct the subject to regulations
,but instead protected speech.
The state board, in turn, filed a motion to dismiss
claiming that the advice Hines had given was indeed
professional conduct and pointing out that “courts have
repeatedly held up state restrictions on professional practice
against First Amendment challenges.
Does prohibiting a vet from giving advise online violate
his right to free speech? You be the judge.

October is National Pizza
month.
From pizza.com
While the contribution of the first
pizzerias in this country cannot be ignored,
it was really the returning American
soldiers who fought in Italy during World
War II that brought a hunger for pizza
home with them and pushed its popularity over the top.
America's love of pizza continued to grow and now October
is the official National Pizza Month across most of North
America.
First observed in the United States during 1984
(although many people incorrectly claim it was 1987),
October was designated as National Pizza Month by Gerry
Durnell, the founder of Pizza Today magazine, who chose
that month because the first issue of his magazine debuted
in October of that year. Durnell was a pizzeria owner in the
small town of Santa Claus, Indiana when he realized there
were no periodicals or trade show publications to support
his growing pizza business or the industry in general.
Creation of a national pizza-oriented magazine along
with the introduction of a national pizza month served his
purposes perfectly and solved the problem.
Today, National Pizza Month is observed each October
across the USA and in much of Canada too. The designation
might be a bit redundant in this country though, as nearly
every month could be considered Pizza Month in the United
States these days. People don't really need a special month
for pizza in a country where there are an estimated 63,000
pizzerias and 94% of Americans eat pizza at least once
a month. The figures equal the consumption of about 45
slices of pizza per person in the U.S. each year and show
that Americans definitely love their pizza as evidenced by
devouring 100 acres of pizza per day, or 350 slices per
second.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
TO KILL A VAMPIRE
By Hy Conrad
ON LINE MYSTERY NETWORK
The witch and the young Sherlock
Holmes left their car in a parking lot
and made their way along Center
Street toward the police department’s
annual party. During the rest of the
year, the witch was better known as
Carol Bixby, an officer in the city’s
major crimes division. And the crime
solver was her twelve-year-old son.
“What if there’s a homicide?” Jonah asked. “Are
the detectives all going to show up in costume?” Carol
whacked him playfully with her broomstick. “That’s
right. Napoleon and Frankenstein will be on the case. And
Sherlock Holms of course.”
It was October 31st, and a festive assortment of
ghouls and ghosts strolled the streets. Adding to the fun
the decorations-paper skeletons stapled to doors, plastic
cob webs and comical tombstones. Jonah and his mother
were taking a shortcut down an alley when they saw that
someone on the third floor had placed a Dracula dummy in
a chair on a balcony, with a stake through its heart.
“Mom,” Johan said, tugging on her sleeve. His face
was suddenly ashen. “That’s not a stake-it’s a corkscrew.
And that’s not a dummy. It’s a real man.” As they looked
on, the door opened and a zombie and a gypsy woman
stepped out on the balcony. The gypsy woman smiled and
touched the corpse on the shoulder, then took a closer look
at the corkscrew. Her scream was piercing.
“Looks like we’ll have to skip our own party,”
Detective Bixby told her son. “I don’t even have time to
take you home.” “That’s okay,” said Jonah, trying to look
blasé. The only thing better than a Halloween party, in his
mind, was a Halloween party with a real crime to solve.
His mother brought him up to the third-floor apartment,
and they walked in on twenty costumed ghosts, all looking
shocked and ready to leave. When the other officers arrived,
Carol instructed them to take statements.
During all of this, Jonah was pretty much ignored. He
glanced around at the new furniture, then wandered into
the kitchen and saw the sparkling-new appliances and
cookware, one of everything. “This is what they call a
corporate apartment,” his mother explained as she passed
by. “All very basic”. The victim was a businessman from
New York, Thad Jericho, who used the apartment about
once a week. He had been hosting this Halloween party
for his local employees when one of them must have joined
him on the balcony and stabbed him.
The zombie they’d seen on the balcony approached
Detective Bixby. “I’m Kendall Brown, office manager,”
he said, wiping a dribble of fake blood from his mouth.
Carol Bixby nodded. “From the statements we’ve been
getting, it seems Mr. Jericho wasn’t very popular.” “He
made a lot of unpopular decisions. And?” The zombie
shrugged. “Thad was a bit of a jerk“A big jerk,” said a
newcomer. It was the gypsy woman, otherwise known as
Gina Gershwin, personnel director.
“Did anyone see Mr. Jericho go out on the balcony?”
Carol asked. “No, said Kendall. No one remembers seeing
him for a least half an hour before the body was discovered.
Actually, I think I discovered the body, said a cowboy who
had just joined them. His name was Herbert Horner, senior
accountant I got here rather late.
“Right”, Gina agreed. We didn’t think you were
coming. I was just uncorking the last bottle of wine when
you walked in. That’s not my point, said Herbert. “My
point is I took a shortcut through the alley. I saw Thad up
on the balcony already dead. I thought it was a decoration.
Did you see anything else? Carol asked. “No” said Herbert.
I just came up and joined the party. About ten minutes
later, Gina and Kendall found him out there. “Mom, Jonah
whispered, “I need to talk to you”. For the first time, the
guests noticed that there was a twelve-year old among them
dressed as Sherlock Holmes. Gina cracked a smug smile.
“Looks like we have our own little detective here. Maybe
you can tell us who killed him. “Can I Mom?” “Go ahead,”
Carol said and saw the gypsy’s smile fade.
Can you solve the mystery? Who killed Thad
Jericho?
The zombie, Kendell Brown
The gypsy woman, Gina Gershwin
The cowboy, Herbert Horner

The Poor Cat's Unwanted
Psychedelic Experience
by K. Noyes
She is a black and white cat (a 'tuxedo'), about 2 years
old. I call her Mimi. He calls her Schrödinger. So, she is
Mimi Schrödinger.
There are mirrors on one wall of the dining room. When
some furniture was moved around recently the mirrors were
exposed and coincidentally, a black computer chair was
left in front of the mirrors. A swivel chair on wheels. Mimi
decided to investigate the chair. She ended up somehow on
top, across the back of the chair. That was how I found her
when I walked into the room. She looked so forlorn and
confused, clinging to the chair, which had a loose-weave
polyester fabric. Try as she might, she could not release
herself from the weave to jump away. She was stuck like
Velcro. And, each time that she tried, the chair spun around
revealing her predicament in mirror image.
[At this point in the typing, the boyfriend interjects:
"What you describe is physically improbable according
to the Laws of Inertia. The cat and the chair are a closed
system." He questioned me about when I was a child on a
swing set (another closed system). "It's difficult to get the
swing to move without contacting the ground. Therefore...
(he questions the veracity of my statement.) "To get the
swing to move you push off with your feet and the swing
moves in the opposite direction of the earth. So, you impart
a microscopic increase or decrease in the spin of the earth.
Action, reaction. Force = mass X acceleration. Newton's
Law. The cat's feet did not touch the ground...]
I stopped transcribing what he was expounding, my
eyes a'glaze...and modified the story.
And each time that she tried, the chair would spin
slightly, revealing her predicament in mirror image. She
would glance fearfully toward the flashing of the mirror as
the chair moved. Then put her head down flat, ears flat also.
For, you may understand, that when a cat sees movement,
she is compelled to look. All that she wanted was a snooze,
not an amusement ride!
I rescued her from her dizzying experience. I lifted her
up slightly while she disengaged her claws on all of her
paws. Yet, she continues to use the chair for siesta. But
only the seat. She closes her eyes so that she doesn't see
that ol' mirror. Whoever decided that chairs should move?
Such insanity.

The Paradoxicality of
Feline Mentality
By K. Noyes
Having rented apartments all of my adult life until
moving to the Villages, I had many landlords and
landladies. Millie O'Donohoe was the most memorable. She
was witty, remarkably intelligent, kind, and the depth of her
compassion would blow you away, knock your socks off!
When I expressed a desire to move to another town Millie
lowered the rent to keep me. And I stayed until she passed
away in 1999. She once recited to me a poem that she had
written. I jotted it down, typed it and framed it for her. She
was delighted. "I feel as though I've been published," she
exclaimed. Here is Millie's poem. I've added accents on the
words of the poem that she stressed when she recited it.

October’s horoscope
Libra
September 23 – October 23rd. The time is
now right for critical decisions and for bringing things that have been problematic or tapering off to a
close. Look to concluding any project or activity in your
life that is no longer providing value for time or money.
Do it now – is the motto for Libra.
.
Scorpio
October 24th – November 2nd. Those born
under this sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There’s no fluff or chatter for
Scorpios, either; these folks will zero in on the essential
questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within.

Blood pressure is the force of blood inside your blood
vessels. Your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers,
such as 120/80 and both numbers are significant. The first
number is the pressure as your heart beats and pushes blood
through the vessels - this is called “systolic” pressure. The
second number is the pressure when your vessels relax
between heartbeats – this is called “diastolic” pressure. It
is normal for blood pressure to change when you sleep,
wake up, or are excited or nervous (like when you are at
the doctor’s office). Do you know your BP number? This
is what those numbers mean.
• Healthy blood pressure below 120/80
• Early high blood pressure: between 120/80 and
140/90
• High blood pressure:140/90 or higher
When blood moves through vessels with too much
force, it is called high blood pressure or hypertension”.
The heart is working harder and the elevated blood
pressure raises the risk of heart attack, heart failure,
stroke, eye damage and chronic kidney disease. Nearly 1
in 3 Americans has high blood pressure and 2 in 3 people
managing diabetes report having high blood pressure and
taking medication to manage it. High blood pressure will
not go away without treatment, and treatment generally
includes changes in diet and lifestyle. Medication may
also be prescribed. High blood pressure is a silent problem.
You won’t know that you have it unless your healthcare
provider checks it. Have your blood pressure checked
at every regular health care visit or at least every two
years if you do not have diabetes or other risk factors for
heart disease. If you have been told you have high blood
pressure, consider these tips to help reduce it:
• Work with your healthcare provider to find the
treatment plan that is right for you.
• Lose weight or take steps to prevent weight gain.
Talk to your physician about more exercise.
• Choose whole-grain bread and cereals, fruits and
vegetables, low fat dairy and lean proteins.
• Check food labels and choose foods with ≤400 mg
sodium per serving. Use herbs an spices to flavor
foods instead of the salt shaker.
• Limit alcohol consumption and check with your
physician to see if any consumption is appropriate.
• Learn to manage daily stress – techniques include
physical activity, listening to music, meditation.
• If you smoke, get help to quit.
• Talk to your physician about medications available
to help reduce high blood pressure.
To achieve the best control of our blood pressure,
follow your treatment plan and take all medications as
prescribed. Following your prescribed treatment plan
can prevent or delay complications that high pressure can
cause and lower your risk for other related health concerns.
Here’s to your heart!

A New Jersey Ghost Story
My granny was told as a child that Captain Kidd,
knowing the law was on his trail, traveled up the Jersey
coast looking for the perfect spot to bury his stolen booty.
And he found it near a grove of gnarled, wind-swept pines
on Sandy Hook. One moonless dark night, the Adventure
Galley slid silently into harbor at Sandy Hook. Before the
wondering eyes of two hidden watchers, a crew of scurvy
buccaneers armed with cutlasses and pistols had rowed
boatload after boatload of heavy chests onto the shore. They
were accompanied by a tall, proud man with red-whiskers
and a cocked hat that the watchers recognized at once as
the bold leader Captain Kidd. The captain led his men away
from shore, and they disappeared with him into the grove
of pines. The pirates were gone along time; long enough,
according to those who watched, to bury any amount of
treasure. They came away before dawn and rowed back
to the Adventure Galley and sailed into the last vestiges
of the dark night.
Of course, the eager watchers kept their knowledge
quiet and scurried down to the pine grove a few days later,
armed with lanterns and shovels. But narya gold coin
found they. And in frustration, they shared their tale with
other good folks in the region. After that, there was not a
night when the pine grove did not see someone digging
fervently with a shovel. After a few decades of this, the
pine grove gave up the ghost and died away completely. By
my granny's time, there was nothing left of the spot save a
few stunted trees, some wind-swept grass, and on certain
dark nights, Dem Bones.
Dem Bones are the skeletal crew of Captain Kidd.
According to my granny, they come sailing up in a ship
made of shadows. The ship moves silently up the coast at
the dark of the moon, and anchors near the shores of Sandy
Hook. Two or three boats are lowered from her side, and
they are filled up with the eager forms of glowing skeletons
wearing cocked hats and tattered buccaneers garb. Around
their waists are belts full of pistols and long cutlasses. The
biggest of Dem Bones - the one that is probably the first
mate - has a skeletal parrot perched on his shoulder.
Dem Bones carry heavy trunks full of treasure onto the
shore and scatter them all around the place where the pine
grove once stood. Then the pirate crew hauls out kegs and
kegs of whiskey and one of the skeleton's takes out a fiddle.
A phantom fire is lit on the sand, and Dem Bones start such
a rowdy singing and dancing that the noise would wake
the dead - if they weren't already awake. When they are
exhausted from the dancing, the glowing skeletons collapse
on the sand and start telling stories about the ships they
have captured and the treasure they have amassed. Some
of Dem Bones open the big trunks and take out jewels and
ropes of pearls and adorn themselves. Others toss gold coins
back and forth as if they were a child's ball. At the darkest
part of the night, just before dawn, Dem Bones pack up
the trunks and row back to the ship of shadows. One by
one, the glowing skeletons disappeared into the hold and
the ship draws anchor and sails away.

Halloween Movies
still scary
From Readers Digest
Even after all this time when
Halloween rolls around you can still
watch these movies and they are as
scary as ever!
Halloween
On Halloween night of 1963, sixyear-old Michael Myers stabbed his sister to death. After
sitting in a mental hospital for 15 years, Myers escapes and
returns to Haddonfield to kill again. Michael Myers is the
antagonist in all of the Halloween films.
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
There's hardly a better fit for a creepy night in than
director Tim Burton, and his take on the Washington
Irving short story is ghoulish, intriguing fun. Critics say:
"Gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with fun-house
thrills and ravishing romance... Heads roll, bodies pile up,
The Changeling (1980)
With a vengeful ghost, a haunted house, and the
approval of Martin Scorsese, what more could you want?
The Amityville Horror (1979)
It's a little stupid, somewhat laughable, and full of overt
freakout moments—perfect for some fun if you're not in the
mood for the really dark stuff. (They filmed it at a house
from Toms River so you had to watch it.)
Pet Sematary (1989)
There just aren't enough movies about the walking
dead that start with the horrid resurrection of a beloved
family cat.
Poltergeist (1982)
Unnervingly, this ghost story will leave you wary of
your own television.
Evil Dead (2013)
This new update to the 1981 original eschews some of
the camp and piles on the gory scares, making it a decidedly
creepier pick for the holiday.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
More slaughterhouse than haunted house, this classic
still chills.
Panic Room (2002)
This harrowing home invasion movie is a realistic nailbiter totally devoid of ghouls or the supernatural, making it
a choice pick for those who know they'll be triple-checking
their locks when the movie's done.
Which is your favorite? Invite a friend over to watch
it with you .

THE VERDICT-From You be the Judge
In February 2014, U.S. district court judge Hilda Tagle
agreed with Hines that he might very well have a First
Amendment claim; “he provided advice to pet owners
over the internet and…the professional regulations at
issue in this case have prevent him from engaging in that
speech.” Two months later, the state board appealed to
the U. S. Court of Appeals for the ‘Fifth Circuit in New
Orleans. The judges ruled that the Texas law imposes a
standard of care but has nothing to do with free speech: “It
does not…require veterinarians to deliver any particular
message.” The trouble, according to Rowes, is that circuit
courts across the country have ruled differently on similar
questions about the lines between speech and conduct,
which is why, in June 2015, he took the case to the U.S.
Supreme Court. However, in November, the court refused
to hear the case, which leaves Hines where he started—with
a license but unable to legally offer advice online. Rowes
believes that given the explosion in telemedicine, the high
court will eventually have to weight in.

WHAT CLUE DID JONAH NOTICE?
From Happy Halloween
The corkscrew. Jonah led his mother and the three
costumed suspects into the kitchen. He opened the drawers
one by one and rummaged around. “What are you looking
for, Sherlock?” asked the zombie. “A corkscrew.” “It’s in
the victim, honey,” said his mother, a little embarrassed.
“I know that,” said Jonah, “I was looking for another one.”
“There isn’t another one,” said the gypsy. This is a
corporate apartment. They furnished it with a bare minimum of essentials. “Then we have a problem”, replied
Jonah.” Because at the same time you were opening a
bottle of wine, Mr. Horner says he saw the corkscrew in
Mr. Jericho’s chest.
The gypsy thought, “He’s right. How could that be?”
It couldn’t, said Carol. Mr. Horner, you lied about seeing
the body on the balcony. Why? Horner didn’t answer, but
Jonah did” “To make us think that Mr. Jericho was dead
before he arrived. He was trying to give himself an alibi.
Mr. Horner is the killer.”

BANK ANALYSIS –WHY BOTHER?
If the only reason for assessing the strength of U.S. commercial banks and savings institutions were to uncover
investment or merger opportunities, the discipline could be left to Wall Street analysts or fund managers holding bank
equities. Likewise, FDIC deposit insurance coverage of $250 thousand per account, largely, but not totally, negates
safety and soundness weaknesses that could lead to an institution’s ultimate failure.
Bankrate Inc., on its website (www.bankrate.com) states:
“ U.S. commercial banks are chartered under either federal or state jurisdictions for the purpose of accepting funds
for deposit and extending loans to individual or business borrowers.”
Banks are subject to operating risk, and, because of their economic importance, banking institutions must be carefully
monitored and regulated.
David Cameron, former British Prime Minister, has stated:
“We have to recognize that because banks have a unique ability to bring down the economy, they need to be properly
regulated. We need to make sure we don’t have people inventing financial instruments, profiting hugely from their
creation but not understanding the contagion they can spread.”
So what are we now saying? Banks, operating in an unsound manner, can destroy an even vibrant economy, and, as
we will demonstrate, a weak economy can harm both the public purpose and financial structure of banking. Accordingly,
a healthy banking sector is “win-win” for a nation’s economic well-being and banking organizations, themselves.

through the end of 2015.
Let us now review U.S. bank performance, based upon key data obtained from the FDIC, for the nine years shown,
and compare such performance measures to those of the economy.

Source: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
We might now conclude:
1) The foregoing table reveals that, for U.S. commercial banks, profitability and asset quality fell substantially during
2008 and 2009, the two, previously noted U.S. recession years.
2) Declines in both bank loan quality and profitability impacted U.S. GDP at least through 2010, as shown, and only
Federal Reserve monetary intervention averted financial disaster.
3) Despite the $250,000 FDIC coverage for accounts at Insured banks and thrifts, dealing with sound banks enhances
borrowing opportunities for individuals and businesses.
4) Bankers now cognizant of the dangers of imprudent
lending and aware of the difficulties of attempting to
conduct business during periods of recession have become
exceedingly cautious and sometimes unwilling to extend
credit to even creditworthy borrowers. (Hence, monitoring
FICO scores is essential.)
The foregoing allows us to see the ties between banking
and economic conditions. Understanding that such a
relationship exists can help us to project economic strength,
potential interest rate changes, and even employment
(Should anyone be interested.) opportunities. Accordingly,
we believe that bothering to understand banking issues is
important from both an individual and industry perspective.
How to assess a banking institution’s financial stability can
be the subject of another article.
Should any Villager care for more information or to
even form a banking/economics discussion group, please

The Antique Road Show’s
biggest finds
Ever watched the antique road show? Didn’t you wish
you had an item like one of these?
A NAVAJO BLANKET: A man walked into a 2001
Antique Road show taping in Tucson Arizona with his
family's old blanket. It was hand woven with stripes of
black, brown, blue and white. He brought it in because
family legend held that it had originally been a gift from Kit
Carson. As it turns out, it's a national treasure--a Navajo
blanket from the 1850's and was specially made for a chief.
Fewer than 50 still exist. "When he walked in with this"
appraiser Donald Elliot told the owner, "I just about died."
The blanket now hangs in the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Estimated worth: about $400,000.
AN ANCIENT CHINESE STATUE: The owner of
this marble lion statue inherited it from her grandparents,
who bought in a curio shop in China in the 1920's. It turned
out to be, as Sotheby's appraiser Lark Mason said in a 2002
episode, "one of the finest examples of Tang dynasty art
that's appeared in years." It was carved sometime between
A.D. 618 and 907 and is worth about $250,000.
A GOLD SWORD: Before the Medal of Honor was
first awarded in 1862, the highest honor an American
officer could receive was a dress, or ceremonial sword
made of solid gold. In 1848 General William O. Butler
was awarded such a sword for his service in the MexicanAmerican War. It was passed down through generations to
the man who brought it to an Antiques Road show taping in
Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2002...where it was appraised
for $200,000.
A SEYMOUR CARD TABLE: The owner of this
mahogany table bought it at a garage sale for $25. While
cleaning it, she noticed its delicate inlay work and became
curious, so she brought it to Antique Road show in 1997.
Appraisers Leigh and Leslie Keno were dumbfounded
to find a label on the back identifying it as the work of
father-and-son master cabinetmakers John and Thomas
Seymour, English emigres to Boston in the late 18th
century. Estimated at $300,000. he circa-1797 table later
sold at auction for $500.000.

Columbus Day
This year Columbus Day is celebrated on the 10th of
October. A U.S. national holiday since 1937, Columbus
Day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus
in the New World on October 12, 1492. The Italian-born
explorer had set sail two months earlier, backed by the
Spanish monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. He
intended to chart a western sea route to China, India and the
fabled gold and Spice Islands of Asia; instead, he landed in
the Bahamas, becoming the first European to explore the
Americas since the Vikings set up colonies in Greenland
and Newfoundland during the 10th century.
Entertainment Committee
Louisa Refano, Chairperson
The 4th of July was enjoyed by all. Celebrating the
Birthday of our nation makes this a very special day. Our
hot dogs are a big hit. Every year we have a great turn
out and people who needed help to get their food, we had
runners helping them. The two entertainers were enjoyed
by all. We will be having more functions next year.
Now going forward get your calendars out and mark
the entertainment coming in October, November and
December.
October 29th we have the Halloween Party. Start
putting your costumes together and join the parade to
see who will be our winners for having various types of
costumes. It is a great night.
November 19th Elvis is entertaining us in the club
house. Bring your camera's to take pictures with Elvis. All
Elvis fans will enjoy the music. This should be a fun night.
December 31st, the big night of the year which is New
Years Eve, we have a great party in the club house. We
don't have to travel far to spend a night with friends. The
entertainment committee puts a lot of effort into making
this a fun night. You can bring in the New Year, watching
the ball come down and being with your friends. Please
purchase tickets on the selling dates for all functions. Check
the weekly paper for the selling dates and prices. If for some
reason you are not available for the selling dates. Put your
money in the office in the entertainment mail box.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the
functions. Bingo is held in the ballroom every Thursday
at 2PM. It is becoming a very popular place to go on
Thursdays. If you have not tried our new bingo game come
and see for yourself how great it is and spend some times
with your friends.
If you have a interest in joining the Entertainment Club,
our meetings are held every first Monday of the month at
10AM in the card room upstairs.(unless a Holiday falls
on the first Monday). New members are always welcome.
Bring your ideas to the meeting.

The shuffleboard court is in sad shape
and hardly anyone uses it with the exception of some visiting young grandchildren.
Do you have any ideas of a better use for
this space?
(We didn’t ask for names this time but just some Villagers thoughts.)
Some Villagers said:
Cement the area and have picnic tables with a canopy
over them for eating, card playing and socializing.
Somehow figure a way to make more parking spots
from the space.
How about a Volleyball court?
Also suggested was a game area with a basketball
net and a pickle ball game along with some tables with
umbrellas.
How about a putting green?
Lastly and Maybe not the most practical, but what
a thought!

ATTENTION ALL VILLAGERS:
My name is Phyllis Marcus and I am the program
director for the YOUNG AT HEART CLUB.
I am addressing this to every resident in the Villages:
We are a club dedicated to entertaining the residents
on a monthly basis from March through November; that's
nine months out of the year!
When I approach residents inviting them to join us in
enjoying what we have to offer, I get various excuses such
as: "We don't go out at night" How about if we question
that a little! Does that mean that you don't go out once a
month to dinner, or a movie, play cards with friends or
maybe shoot pool?
How about the other reason that I heard that "It's not
my thing!" How do you know that if you don't come to a
meeting and find out?
Which brings us to the subject of our "meeting". We
announce what we currently have in our treasury, we pledge
allegiance to our blessed flag and our performance begins,
followed with cake and coffee.
If you still feel that you still don't want to come to
enjoy what entertainment we have to offer, which, by the
way is free, then at least help us stay active for the people
who do enjoy coming by becoming a member. The dues
are only $5.00 dollars for the year and we need everyone's
support, including the Board members, magazine staff,
office staff, etc.
All our clubs are looking for residents to join them.
These volunteers work hard each month to bring villagers
together to relax and enjoy each other and even provide
entertainment. The fee to join is minimal, so why not come
out and support them?
