GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD

Charlie Walker
If you smell some tantalizing
aromas coming down the
street, you probably live on
Meseto Avenue, near the home
of Veronica and Leonard
Jarmosco. Learning to cook
because he was the oldest child
in the family, he continued to
learn his culinary skills when
he was in the army stationed
in Munich Germany, with
another soldier you might
remember, Elvis Presley. He
uses that love of cooking now
to bring dinners to singles in
their neighborhood, a much
appreciated effort to older
residents who find it hard to
cook for just one person.
Veronica (Ronnie) doesn’t
mind his taking over the
kitchen in their home (what
woman in her right mind
would?) as it leaves her more
time to pursue her love of
reading, taking photographs
and crocheting. They both
like to use the pool facilities,
especially in our long hot
summers.
Getting tired of the
severe winters in Michigan,
the Marmoscos moved
to Arizona 20 years ago,
and have been in our SVE
community for five years.
They have two children,
a boy who lives in Las
Vegas and a daughter and
two grandchildren who live
in Queen Creek. Ronnie
retired from a job as a bank
receptionist and Len as a
liquor salesman. He still
works part time in the winter
at ASU.
The person who nominated
this couple said that they are
both so helpful to all of their
neighbors. Ronnie recently
spent the night and a few
days in a neighbor’s home
taking care of her because
the doctor would not release
that person without someone
at home to provide care.
That certainly is stepping up
when needed.
They also help with yard
work, look after homes when
neighbors are away, put out
the recycle and refuse bins,
and just generally are the
kind of good neighbors who
deserve this award.
Beautiful New Look For Auditorium
MEET THE STAFF
Charlie Walker
Meet the latest addition to the SVE office staff, De
Neff (short for Delores), the new architectural secretary
and “jack-of-all trades”. She was hired the 29th of May
and says she loves it here. In addition to her other duties
in the office, she is a notary which will now give us two
office notaries to assist people in the village who need
this service. Manager Dick Shinke says she is doing a
good job helping Bert make our auditing system more
time efficient.
De came to Arizona 20 years ago from Ann Arbor,
Michigan where she was born and grew up. She worked
as a florist for 35years, and in a construction office for
15 years. She has three children and five grandchildren,
all of whom live here. Lucky grandmother!
In her spare time, which she doesn’t have a lot of,
she is an avid gardener, loves to decorate her home,
collects stamps and likes to paint with watercolors. She
is hoping to take classes here in SVE in the fall.
De is a valuable addition to our office staff with her
ready smile and friendly manner. So the next time you
have occasion to visit the office, be sure and give her a
warm welcome to SVE.
Judy Janousek
The SVE Auditorium underwent
a remarkable transformation in July,
thanks to the creative talents of Bobbie
Hughes and Sharon Schwarz. The
walls were painted in soft beige with
touches of blue and the shutters also
received a fresh coat of paint. Panels
covered in various patterns of fabric in
coordinating colors were hung to add
interest and help soften sound in the
large room. Two attractive new clocks
were also hung. Special seasonal
touches will be added occasionally in
colors to complement the décor.
Bobbie and Sharon selected the
fabric and paint choices, and presented
them to several members of the Board
of Directors along with John McFall
who had agreed to pay for the project
from Bingo proceeds. Once they
were given the go ahead to begin the
project, bids went out for the painting
and a crew of volunteers began work
on assembling and covering the panels
and preparing other items needed for
the transformation. The Auditorium
was only closed for one week while
painting was completed; and, as soon as the paint had dried,
the finishing touches went up.
A huge thank you to Bobbie and Sharon and their crew of
helpers, Sally Rottier, Lee Sorenson, Pat and Jerry Little,
Linda Gerken, Joyce Fredrickson, and Peggy Woolever.
Next I’m told, this experienced group will be adding some
special touches to the new Palo Verde Building.

Notice To Contributors
of Articles For The
Outlook
We see that the majority of the articles turned into the
Outlook box in the office are written on a computer, so
many of you have e-mail connections as well. To save time
for both of us, we encourage you to do the following:
1. Type your article as a Word Document. This is
necessary for us to be able to open your message, edit it
when necessary and send it via e-mail to the publisher.
Microsoft Works or other programs will not allow us to
do this, only Word.
2. Include your name and phone number in case we
have a problem or question.
3. Save a copy of your typed document until we reply
that we have received it.
4. Send your article as an e-mail attachment to either
Judy at [email protected] or Charlie at [email protected].
You may still drop your articles off in written form
into the Outlook box in the SVE office, but if you have
Internet access, we hope you will give this method a try.
CHAPEL NOTES
By Pastor Wyn Olson
The Lord Jesus speaking in a parable to the righteous
about the time of judgment, made the following
statement recorded for us in Matthew’s gospel:
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come,
you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance,
the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the
world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to
eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes
and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did
we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you
something to drink? When did we see you a stranger
and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit
you?’
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever
you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.’” Matthew 25:34-40 (NIV)
Among the people who worship and fellowship at the
Village Chapel there are many who are hurting because
of sickness, surgeries, sorrow or loneliness.
Our Visitation Committee, under the leadership of
our Minister of Visitation, is available to visit hurting
people, bring them spiritual comfort and assess their
needs. We are a spiritual family of brothers and sisters
in Christ, who are very sensitive to the problems and
needs of our friends and neighbors. It is wonderful to
see how graciously and effectively people volunteer to
meet these challenges. Our people willingly respond on
a volunteer basis when they are asked to help.
As the pastor, I have no problem obtaining a favorable
response when we are faced with a crisis situation and
need someone to offer assistance. It is a wonderful
privilege to serve the Lord with this friendly, caring,
congregation.
Each Sunday we are thrilled when we are able to
welcome new people into our fellowship. We would
love to have you join us as we worship and serve the
Lord. We meet each Sunday at 8:00 a.m. in the SVE
Auditorium. It is always cool and comfortable, even on
these hot summer Sundays.

HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING…..
Judy Janousek
Join the Fun
Spend a fun evening of music and dancing with the popular
Needham Twins in the SVE Auditorium on Thursday,
August 28 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available now in the
office for $6 per person or they may be purchased at the door
for $7. Get your friends together BYOB and enjoy a fun
evening with this talented pair.
Congratulations Residents!!!
Give a big pat on the back and thank you to all who donated
to the recent food drive held in SVE. Approximately 2,000
pounds of food and $960 was collected for United Food
Bank in Mesa. For each 5 items donated, residents received
a ticket that gave them a chance to win one of many prizes
donated by area businesses. The drawing was held at the
well-attended Omelet Breakfast on July 3rd with many folks
taking home a nice gift. The real winner, of course, was
United Food Bank and the families who benefit from their
service.
Moving Underway
A flurry of activity is taking place as volunteers and staff
begins the backbreaking process of rearranging rooms now
that the Palo Verde Building is ready for occupancy.
Read the “Manager’s Corner” article in this issue of
the Outlook and you will understand why it will be several
weeks before all the moves are completed. It has been said
that moving is a lot like childbirth…..after a while, you
forget how painful it really was. Hopefully, we will soon be
enjoying the results of this painful process.
Awesome Auditorium
The new color scheme and attractive décor in the
Auditorium are a big improvement for this well-used
building. Be sure to stop by and take a look. The project
was paid for in full by profits from our Sunday Night Bingo.
Show your gratitude by supporting them with your play.
Singers Needed
Our own talented Sunland Singers have been missed for a
while, but will soon be entertaining us again. Rehearsals will
resume in the fall with their new director, Kenneth Seipp
and several enthusiastic returning members. New voices are
welcome, so if you would like to check out the group, they
will meet in the Mesa Verde Room on Tuesday, September
30th at 12:30 p.m.
Dedication Being Planned
The committee planning the Palo Verde Building
dedication on Sunday, November 16th is hard at work
making arrangements for this special afternoon. Volunteers
will be needed to assist with the festivities so let the office
know if you would like to help, and they will pass your name
on to the committee.
A Good Deal on Chairs
Checking cost and testing sturdy, stackable chairs for the
Palo Verde Building has been going on for several weeks,
with prices running $65 per chair, and up. Holy Cross
Church recently received new chairs from a benefactor and
were looking to sell their excellent condition used ones. Our
Board of Directors took a look and agreed that they would
serve us well for several years, and purchased 300 of them
at $11.50 each for a total cost of $3,450. That was a huge
saving, and better yet, Bocce Ball agreed to pick up the tab
as well as pay for a good used electronic piano to be placed
in the Oakwood Room.
Stop and Take a Rest
Recently all the splintered and broken exercise stations
were removed from around the Mesa Verde retention area.
Many walkers use this area daily and would like to see those
empty spots filled with benches where they could stop for
a rest or visit with others. Some research has been done
and maintenance free, non-movable concrete benches can be
purchased for around $200 plus delivery. It is hoped that at
least two benches can be obtained at the present time. If any
individual or group would like to sponsor a bench, please
call Pat Chumbley at 984-3753.
Check Website Often
New items and information are added frequently to www.
svehoa.com so check the site often. You can read a full copy
of the monthly Outlook along with several new additions
that are planned for the coming months.

Sunland Village East Outlook
August 2008
Sunland Village East Association Board of Directors’ Meeting
JULY 10, 2008 • Mesa Verde Room
Open Session 9:30 a.m.
---Marcia Todd spoke for the Sunland Stitchers, a group of 70
members. First, they thought the Room Assignment Committee
had told them they could stay in the Saguaro Room. Then they
were told they could move to the Oakwood Room and their
cabinets would be moved there. They were told their cabinets
could not go in the room, but would be located in the storage
room adjacent to the Oakwood Room. They tried to meet in the
room July 9 but the acoustics in the room are too bad. They are
requesting more cabinets be built to their specifications and be on
rollers so the cabinets can be moved into the room. They are also
asking that they be given a written agreement from the Board that
they will be given the cabinets as specified and that they will be
given priority for the space in the storage area. // Pat responded
that the Room Committee was a study committee appointed by the
Board to make recommendations regarding room usage, but the
final decisions were the responsibility of the Board. The Building
Committee was appointed to help oversee the construction of
the building; they have nothing to do with room usage or room
assignments. That is up to the Board. The Board will take the
Stitchers requests under advisement.
---Jerry Little said they had been asked to build a cabinet for
the Stitchers and as soon as they are caught up with their move,
they will be happy to do that.
---Virginia McFall added that Pinochle had a pot luck in
the Oakwood room on July 4 and agrees that the acoustics
in that room are a problem and something needs to be done.//
Pat responded that the building is still a work in progress. We
are aware of the acoustics problem but have not had time to
do anything in the building. We were given the Certificate of
Occupancy from the City on June 18. Until that time, we were
not allowed to put anything in the building. Virginia wondered
why we had emptied the Saguaro room so soon. Pat said we
needed to move the Stitchers and get them operational as quickly
as our maintenance crew had time to do it. Virginia said they
preferred the convenience of using a room in the Common area.
Laura mentioned that there will be another Saguaro Room in the
Common area as soon as the moving of the Library is completed.
Virginia feels that the changing of the rooms should have been
brought to a vote of the people. Pat said a vote would have
brought such a variety of opinions, we would not have been able
to reach a consensus.
---Bert Mersman asked where ping pong was going to be
held. Pat and Gene assured him that the tables and equipment
were already in a storage area of the PV Building and the tables
would be rolled into the Rosewood Room when used.
---Pat Blake stated she felt the Stitchers have been unfairly
treated. They wanted their cabinets in the same room where they
are working and feel the cabinets should be on casters. Pat has
told the Quilters that these cabinets are not stable enough to be
moved around and they could tip over causing serious injury.
---Chuck De Sario addressed three issues. 1. He would like
at least an occasional change in the time the Board has these
meetings so the residents who are still working could participate.
2. He would like to see some park benches put around the Nido
retention area for the benefit of all walkers to rest or visit. He
objects to the proposal of having benches only at the east end
of the area when there are shaded areas between the basins that
would also be helpful and comfortable. 3. The exercise room
in the south end is not adequate. One of the two treadmills has
been out of order for 3 weeks, and is broken on a regular basis.
New equipment should be available to the south exercise room
as well as the north exercise complex. Pat made note of his
suggestions and will be taken under consideration. She is aware
of the problems with the treadmill.
----Jeff Bowlds stated the time for the Board meetings was
voted on a couple years ago, and the majority wanted morning
meetings.
---Charlie Walker agreed that she would like to see the south
exercise ‘closet’ enlarged. She also wanted to say that not every
group or club has been catered to or has gotten their way. The
Bocce Club did not want the new building so close to the Bocce
courts, but it is there. It’s reality and we’re living with it.
---Ken Getman suggested we could return to the Town
Hall meetings that he used to run in the evenings several times
a year and suggested Mr. De Sario might consider establishing
those meetings again. Pat agreed this is a good suggestion. It
is a time for people to express opinions and establish a line of
communication. No policy can be made at these meetings, but
good suggestions can come forth.
---Pat stated for the record that we will continue working with
the Quilters. They have presented their case, as the Board has.
We are trying to get the best for everyone. The Saguaro Room was
a community-use room, not a Quilters’ room, and the Oakwood
Room is a community-use room also.

Board members present were: Pat Chumbley, Gene Trust,

Walt Handberry excused. Manager Dick Schinke was in
attendance. All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.
---The minutes of the June 12, 2008, meeting need correcting.
Ken Getman noted that the minutes said he spoke for Charlie
Parcels, when he said he stated that he did not speak for Mr.
Parcels. The minutes will be corrected.
---Treasurer’s Report – Rich Hicks. Copies of the Treasurer’s
report are posted on the bulletin board outside the office. In
June, our Revenue exceeded our expenses by $25,444, and the
year-to-date revenue has exceeded expenses by $180,905. The
report on the new building funds shows we owe our contractor
a final payment of $12,681, which will be paid when several
minor repairs are made to the building. Through the raising of
funds from the SVE Buy-In Fees, the Community Improvement
Contributions, the Brick Wall Fund, and the 2006 and 2007 Board
Contributions, we have exceeded the contract amount for the
building by $8,279.75. Therefore, since the building contract is
now complete, this New Building Analysis report will no longer
be printed. The Treasurer’s report will be filed.
---Architectural Report – Dave Hughes. In June, 6 houses
and 2 condos were sold. This brings the total sales to 76 for the
first six months of the year.
---Community Patrol Report – Dick Schinke. A report
provided by Terri Teten shows a few calls for service, as follows:
1 found property;1 subjects disturbing;1 burglary alarm; 3
suspicious activity; 1 check on welfare of an individual; 1 agency
assist; 1 City Code violation; and 1 unknown trouble. Our
Security still reports garage doors being left open. Volunteers are
driving around in a police car checking for open garage doors.
---Manager’s Report – Dick Schinke. We were contacted
by the Fire Dept. because we have to comply with a fire code
inspection in all of our buildings, for which there is a charge. This
is a new program that was put in place for businesses in Mesa by
the City Council in February of last year. When he asked why
they did this, the unofficial response was “because we need to
generate revenue.” When he complained about the $1250 charge
for doing the inspection, and called several officials, they cut
the charge in half. He has continued to follow up on this as to
whether HOA’s need to comply with this as we are not a business,
so this is ongoing.
---We have received our Certificate of Occupancy for the new
building, so now we can begin the moving process of Woodshop,
Lapidary, and Computers. They are all working very hard
with their own labor to accomplish the moves.
---We have had the palm trees trimmed by Tree Experts,
who charged $17 per tree. Most other companies charge
between $35 and $55 per tree. We will contact them again in
the winter to skin the trees to within a foot of the crowns.
---Around the auditorium some lights have been replaced,
and the glaring white fixtures have been replaced with softer
yellow bulbs. Burned out lights were replaced in the Mesa
Verde building.
---An electronic piano in excellent condition has been
located and purchased for $400 for the Palo Verde building..
---The netting for the softball field will wait to be installed
until fall due to the heat. The softball players will be
installing it themselves.
---The painting of the auditorium has been completed, and
Bobbie Hughes and her helpers are working on the rest of
the remodeling.
---Chuck De Sario questioned whether we are in
compliance with the laws against hiring illegal aliens.// Dick
said all of our employees are legal. The contracted companies
we hire should also not employ illegals. When asked, they
will say they are all legal, but that may or may not be true.
We are not the direct employer. The workers are hired by the
companies who do work for us.
---Charlie Parcels gave some input in regard to the Fire
Department code inspections. Dick responded that we are
in compliance with the fire codes, but this inspection is
different. Dick is just checking to see if HOAs fall under
this new program.
---Pat reported that we have been successful in purchasing
300 very good used chairs from the Holy Cross Church that are
stackable and have padded seats and back. We will pick up the
chairs this afternoon and place them in the Oakwood Room. The
cost per chair was $11.50 for a total of $3,450. New chairs cost
from $60 to $80 each plus shipping and tax. We thank the Bocce
Club for donating $4,000 toward the purchase of these chairs,
leaving us enough balance to pay for the piano. No storage carts
are needed as the chairs will be placed around the walls in the
room, which may help a little on the acoustical problem.
---A double door refrigerator and a microwave/convection
oven have been donated by residents for the kitchen.
President’s Agenda – Pat Chumbley
Old Business
---Ed Zarr reported that a flag pole for the front of the
new building has been ordered, and he thanked John McFall
(Bingo) for paying for this installation.
---In reference to the acoustical problems in the new
building, the contractor recommended that we wait until
we have moved some furniture into the building before
determining what is needed. The woodshop had the same
problem until they moved all their equipment in. There
was a question in regard to keys for the building. There are
only a couple keys right now; however, the locks will all be
changed to conform to the master keys used on all of the
buildings.
---Betty Elm says there is still some confusion as to
the difference between the cash donations and the brick
purchases. Buying a brick gets your name on the donor
wall. Cash donations will get your name on the contributors’
plaque. Many people will be listed on both the wall and
the plaque. The deadline for having your name on the
plaque is September 30. This deadline is to insure that the
two large plaques will be on display at the Grand Opening.
Contributions will still be accepted anytime before or after
the September 30 date.
---Bricks are still being sold every day. The brick sales
presently total $68,382. Two walls have already been
completed, so if you haven’t seen the walls, please check
them out. They look great. We have enough bricks right
now to complete about half of another wall, but we would
like to have enough to complete the whole wall at one time.
We can do it; we can do anything if we work together. So
please buy a brick or two or three!!
---Pat’s update on the remodeling: Lapidary has had a lot of
help from volunteer men and women on cleaning up the vacated
woodshop room. They are working as fast as they can and doing
an excellent job. They have to complete the electrical hookups
they need, plus installing walls around an enclosed section,
cleaning and painting the entire room, installing an exhaust
system, and finally moving all of their equipment and cupboards
and counters. When they complete their move, the computer
volunteers will begin the work needed to prepare their lab. All
of the labor is being done in-house by volunteers and help where
needed by our maintenance crew. The only contracted labor will
be to replace the carpet in the new office and later new flooring in
the new Saguaro room.
New Business
---The Board has reviewed the Lapidary and Computer Club
accounts, and we are assured they are contributing as much as
they can toward their own remodeling, so that is a big help to
our community. We are proposing to help pay the difference
to complete their remodeling. MOTION Don moved to
appropriate $3,100 for remodeling the Lapidary Room. Laura
seconded. The motion carried. MOTION Gene moved to
appropriate $1,600 for remodeling the former Lapidary Room
for the Computer Lab. Dave seconded. The motion carried.
---We need to redo all the locks in the Palo Verde building
to conform to the master keys for all the buildings in the
community. The locksmith has been contacted to determine
the cost. MOTION Rich moved to appropriate $4,300
for new locks and keys for the Palo Verde building. Dave
seconded. The motion carried.
Comments
---Our sincere thanks to the following: Bingo/John McFall
for purchasing the entire flag installation in front of the Palo Verde
building for $4,475 and for painting the interior of the auditorium,
the Bocce Club for their check for $4,000 to pay for the chairs and
piano to go in the Oakwood Room, the Woodshop for $628 to
pay for the second roller shade installed in the Palo Verde kitchen,
the Singles Club for their $812 donation to be used where needed
in the new building, Lois Morrison, the Computer Club, and
Paul & Carole Thovson for their donations.
---Last month we appointed a committee for the dedication
ceremony in November. Ed and Sylvia DeBrule were appointed,
but due to a death in the family, they are on leave of absence and
will become active on the committee later. Lona Christoffers
has also been appointed to this committee.
---We have been looking for park benches and getting prices.
We have located some concrete benches that are very heavy
and durable for around $200 plus a delivery charge. We are
looking for two at the present time for the corners on the east side
(Periwinkle) of the retention area. Any individual or club willing
to contribute toward a bench and perhaps have your name on a
plaque applied to the bench or benches, please let us know.
---The 50/50 drawing totaled $50. Connie Zimmerman won
$25 and $25 goes into the building fund.
---Dee is in the back of the room selling the ‘No Soliciting’
signs. They are also available in the office. Price $1.
---We received a thank you note from the United Food Bank
for our generous contribution. We also thank all those who gave
money or food.
---Virginia McFall asked if we had a box in the office for
the collection of box tops for the Boulder Creek School. These
coupons are on cereal boxes and Campbell’s soup cans. There
was a thank you in the paper for $2,000 in coupon points donated
by Sunland Village East. Apparently Lois Morrison has been
collecting for that cause. A box will be placed in the office for
contributions.
---The meeting adjourned at 11:01 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Remodeling of rooms and moving of clubs is in full swing.
It was difficult to get started because we were all waiting
for the final Palo Verde building inspection approval. The
computer club wanted to begin moving into the old lapidary,
lapidary couldn’t move until the wood shop vacated their
room, but wood shop couldn’t complete their move until the
final PaloVerde building inspection. The library wanted to
begin work to move into the old office. The office wanted
to get into the Saguaro Room, but had to wait until the Palo
Verde building was inspected so that the Sunland Stitchers
could move into the new building. Now, somehow, we have
been able to get started and most of the move is progressing
with very few problems. However, I think we will all be
real glad to see this job completed! We are progressing on
schedule and will have everything completed by the time our
winter visitors return. If anyone has any questions about our
progress, just call the office.
CONDO II NEWS
Wanda Katzman
This will be short as around me nothing is happening.
I know the grass is being cut, the garbage picked up, the
palm trees were trimmed, some are even still golfing, but
our street is very quiet. Maybe that is good as there are
no obvious problems. The street looks very nice, as usual.
Word is out that the restaurant will open in August. Sally
has moved to Fellowship Square, Al was in town to tell
us Bev will have her back surgery this month, and Monte
called from Montana to say she will be moving into #234
as soon as her house there is sold. I have an address for Bev
if anyone would like it. Gayle and John had grandchildren
visiting. You can tell I am looking for news. Do let me
know if you have news for our street.
BITS AND PIECES
Charlie Walker
August is a slow month for national
holidays but be sure to celebrate National
Senior Citizens Day on the 21st. Others of
little note this month are: Nat’l Lighthouse
Day on the 7th (now this is a biggie for
Arizona), and Nat’l Watermelon day on the
3rd (this is one I might consider).
Don’t forget that the Summer Olympics
begin in Beijing, China on the 8th. Please
do not call me while the various events are
going on or I shall probably be very short
with you.
Other than the Olympics, this is a good
month to haul out all those books you have
been putting off reading.
Did you ever stop and thank Percy
Spencer for making it possible to operate
your TV with a remote control or run your
microwave oven?
OK all you sports fans, who first came
up with those vertically striped black and
white shirts for the officials? Twas a Detroit
referee named Lloyd Olds in 1921.
Ever wonder why in the world those
Kamikaze pilots wore helmets?
Forget about those bend and touch the
floor exercises. If God wanted me to touch
my toes, he would have put them on my knees
(or even my waist would have handier).
When two egotists meet it’s an I for an I.
File this under weird holidays: every
August in Bunol, Spain is the world’s biggest
food fight with rotten tomatoes! After two
hours, the local firefighters hose down all the
participants. Think I’ll just skip this one.
Another Did You Know item: The
strongest muscle in the body is the tongue
(and we will entertain no comments from the
male population of SVE).
Though life may not be the party we
hoped for, we might as well dance while
we’re here.
This month’s quotable quote: You can
easily judge the character of a man by how
he treats those who can do nothing for him.

The summer seems to by flying by heat
and all. I’ll get a breather from hot hot
to maybe a little cooler as we head to
Montana for a couple weeks. School
and a small family reunion well be
fun along with a little research.
The July FHSA newsletter just
arrived so I’ll pass along a little
info that might be of interest.
There are two excellent websites
showing scans of antique maps and you can zoom in for
details. The first is mostly European Maps, but includes
others, plus heraldry and a few books: www.maproom.
org . Another is Rhymer Map Collection: www.stub.
unibe.ch/stub/rhymer . This has antique maps from all
over the world. It’s easy to spend hours on these sites.
If you would like a basic Research Checklist to mark the
documents you have searched, and ideas for more places
to look Try: www.jelleyjar.com/anecestor/research.html
submitted by Beth Horton. If you have trouble with the
Rhymer collection try spelling Rhyiner.
Remember we meet twice a month on the first and
third Wed. in the Mesa Verde Room. The first Wed. is
the research trip to the Family History Library here in
Mesa. We gather on the patio at 8:30am and carpool to the
library for the day. The third Wed. we meet at 9am for our
scheduled program. Gene Trust is great about sending an
e-mail reminding you of times, topics and dates so make
sure he has your correct address. For more information
please call Gene 373-6052 or Diane at 986-5699 or Jean

Red Hat Society News
Lapidary/Silversmith Club
Paul Thovson
Club members are working hard to get the new room
ready for all the equipment from the old shop. We have been
blessed with a large number of volunteers doing electrical
work, wall repairs, painting, removal of cabinets, pulling
nails, constructing walls, and a multitude of other projects.
So far, volunteers who don’t mind getting a little dirty have
accomplished all of the work. One of our big projects involved
getting rid of 20 years of accumulated sawdust. There are
always a lot of surprises when you start working on things
that were built 20 years ago. Construction styles and code
requirements were a little different at that time so we have
been trying to update things to meet the current codes.
Donations of a window, electrical materials, and numerous
other items have helped keep the overall costs down. The
SVE Board agreed to provide up to $3000 to cover costs of
the move and the Club will contribute approximately $3000.
Doing all of the construction in-house will help keep the
costs down and give the Club members a sense of pride and
accomplishment.
We are keeping a photographic record of the move and
these photos will be posted in the new shop for our grand
reopening. One picture below shows Barb & Jack Burnett
and Penny Pence taking apart cabinets in the old shop and
the other picture shows the start of construction of a dividing
wall in the new shop.
INVITATION TO
SCRABBLE PLAYERS
Anyone (whether a permanent or winter resident)
interested in joining a group of Scrabble Players is welcome.
We play once a week at 1PM on Tuesday afternoon in the
small card room (facing Lakeview Ave.). We play for the
challenge and the fun. Don’t be intimidated, even if you
haven’t played in a while. We would love to have more
members. Just show up and join us.

There was love in the air as twenty
eight Red Hat Ladies entered the Mesa
Verde Room on June 25th. Group
3 hosted this tea with a “wedding
theme”, It was elegant! The tables
were decorated with white flowers,
lace doilies, pearls, wine glasses, a
decorated sheet cake & trays of fruit,
including PASSION fruit. Great job
ladies. At the May tea, Alice Heppler, the
group leader, reminded us that June use-to-be the month for
brides & asked each of us to bring a wedding picture to the
June tea. These pictures were displayed on the head table
among white & silver decorations. We had so much fun
trying to guess which Red Hat sister was on the arm of each
good looking guy.
We went from lace & pearls in June to dirt & grime in July.
Several of us enjoyed lunch & the play “Oliver” on July 2nd,
at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre on Brown Road.
We are making plans to return to Broadway Palm in Aug
to see “Honky Tonk Angels” Ladies, check with the leader of
your group for more information.
The Red Hat Society meets the fourth Wed of each month
at 10AM in the Mesa Verde Room. When you join us, please
remember to bring a cup, teabag, paper & pen.
The next tea is Aug 27th hosted by Group 5.

Sunland Stitchers
Freda Klein & Marcia Todd
We wish to honor Arzilla Domann-a faithful quilter for
many years. She passed away May 29 and the Stitchers gave
her husband Walt a quilt to remember us by.
Since May the Quilters have been offered the Rosewood
Room which our membership is too large to accommodate,
so the Oakwood Room was the last available space to us.
This would be very nice if we could utilize the East wall
space as opposed to filling a 10X10 storage space with 8 feet
cabinets which also needs to be shared by other groups. Our
cabinet space is still lacking a 4ft. rolling cart for essential
tools.
With the news of our move to the Palo Verde building
came a packing date. On July 1st, Pat Blake was in charge.
Who ever was in the room needed to empty the equipment
and material from the cabinets. Joanne Martinek, Marcia
Todd, Ferne Cohen, Sue Commer, Barb Nicholson, Doris
Orthmann,Vera Smith & I worked hard to get boxes and
bags filled and out to Pat’s car. She and Marcia took several
carloads to her house.
On July 9th we emptied Pat Blake’s house of Stitchers
supplies and loaded up the East storage room at the Palo
Verde Building. The echoing around in the Oakwood Room
was so bad we ended up huddling in the West storage room
so we could hear each other talk.
Sunsationals Tap
Club News
Glenda Gearhart
The Sunsationals tap dancers are back at work this month.

March 11th thru the 13th, 2009.
We are still looking for a few new dancers. New beginning

have to commit to performing, just come and learn to tap! If
you are interested call Glenda Gearhart 480-299-7382 or
Alicia Hall 480-354-7151.
WOODSHOP NEWS
Earl Burdick
We are in the new WOOD SHOP, we are not operational
but working feverishly to get there. The officers want to
give a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all the people who
are helping to setup the new shop. The turn out has been
phenomenal. We knew it would take a tremendous amount
of work to get established again but little did we realize it
would be beyond tremendous. With all the summer time
residents pitching in, by the time you read this we will be
fully operational. Drop in and take a look or start your
project.
The SVE Book Club
Marilyn Glogoss
The book Club will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd at 10am
in the Saguaro room (or in the old library if the proposed
changes have been made). The first book for the 2008-2009
year is MY SISTERS’ KEEPER by JODI PICOULT. It is
about a couple whose child needs a bone marrow transplant
and how they decide to conceive another child with the hope
of providing a match. The story is told from the sibling’s
point of view. Everyone is welcome to come and join in the
discussion.

We will be having a Hawaiian Luau this month with a
complete Hawaiian food buffet including pulled pork and
lots of good fruit salads. Ernie & Junene Briggs host this
time and they have a great program as well as a fabulous
menu planned. Our potluck dishes will be assigned, so
if you are not contacted before time, please call for an
assignment. Call Darlene Rich at 986-6985 if you would
like to attend. This will also help us get a more accurate
count of tables to set.
So, practice your hula movements and brush up on the
Hawaiian songs you know. You may need them. Until
then, Aloha!

STRETCHING CLASS
BOCCE CLUB NEWS
Saturday stretching classes have been cancelled until
September 6,2008, due to the remodeling of the Saguaro Room.
Starting Saturday, September 6th, we will be meeting
in the Palo Verde Building at the usual time, 7:30 am to
8:30am.
Please tell all of your friends, both male & female, of the
above changes. Here’s a bit of information you might find
interesting. Some of the guys have informed us that their
golf scores have shown an improvement after attending
these Saturday exercises.
Join us in our new, larger room, and feel better for it.
Enjoy your time off.
Judy Castro
We know the summer heat is too much for people to
be out doing much of anything. But just so everyone
in the village is aware that there is open bocce down at
the courts, behind the Mesa Verde Room, most evenings.
So if you can stand the heat after the sun goes down we
welcome everyone to play.
Our Jam Sessions are ongoing also on Fridays between
1 and 3. Everyone is invited to come and join in on the
fun. We have nominal priced treats to enjoy. Try to stay
cool and safe. Have a great summer.

Wife says you
can’t hear.
But you say you can hear a pin drop at 20 feet. Maybe you’re both right. You hear sounds but you don’t always understand what is
being said. Sound familiar? Isn’t it about time you did something about this? When you couldn’t see clearly you got glasses didn’t
you? What are you waiting for? Why suffer? Why make others suffer?
We are Desert Hearing Care and we have been changing lives for the better since 1968. Our guarantee
to you is simple. A thorough and complete hearing evaluation; a discussion of our findings along with
your hearing, lifestyle and budget needs; and a recommendation of the best hearing solution for you.
We are an independent, locally owned and operated practice offering professional hearing care services
and all major brand hearing instruments. Not just one or two brands like the franchise, warehouse or
mall operators. Our staff are not only licensed but also certified to fit the latest in state-of-the-art hearing
devices. We have four offices right here in the East Valley— call for the location nearest you and make
your private, no charge or obligation, patient-centered appointment to find out what is best for you.
40 Years
Of Caring!
We’ll explain to you why you hear the pin drop but don’t always understand the wife. In the process we’ll solve your hearing
problem so that your quality of life improves too.

SVE CERAMICS
Some of us have been involved in
Ceramics 45years or more. Have you ever
wondered how and who created this great
pastime? 13,000 years ago the origin of
ceramics was used by Hunter-Gatherers.
The use of ceramics spread across
Northern Europe from China to Europe
between 12,000 and 6000 years ago. The
potter’s wheel came next and the rest is
history. When the molds came about is
Chapter 2. Come and join us where it is
cool and you have companionship while
making neat things.
