Our idea is to take out the circle with the Crepe Myrtle tree in the center, which only blooms once per year, and replace it and the 20+year old bushes surrounding it with a colorful change. Also, the hedges on the Clubhouse wall itself in the front of the Clubhouse, 20+ years old, will be removed along with the roots that are pulling the stonework away from the building itself and new dirt, mulch and fertilizer put in, along with new soaker hoses on timers (the old ones are dry rotted and falling apart) and colorful perennial plants which will be low care and bring color to the front of the building all year long! We will be submitting these improvements to Safety Harbor’s Matching Grants Program for the return of 1/2 of our investment. This application paperwork will not be reviewed by Safety Harbor until April so we are in no big hurry to begin the actual project and the weather at this time is not conducive to new plantings anyway. The sides of the building, east and west will also be redone but not until next year and again, the grant for that work will be applied for at that time. . We hope that our residents will enjoy these new improvements and agree with us that the time has come to enhance the exterior of our Clubhouse in new and exciting ways. W Wednesday Meetings E very Wednesday morning, there is a coffee meeting for all Phase 1 residents, (plus their visitors). Coffee and pastries are available for purchase at 8:30AM. The "official" meeting starts at 9:30AM. Social Club Dave Doran O n January 31st the Social Club held a workshop to address some issues with the priority on nominations for Social Club for the coming year. This list is posted on the bulletin board in the clubhouse and will be announced on Wednesday, February 10th at coffee hour and voted on at the Social Club meeting directly following coffee hour. Many interesting ideas were exchanged and we all will be working hard towards making this coming year a wonderful time for all of us. Remember, if you have ideas or suggestions, there has been a box marked for just this purpose on the shelf rack by the front door for a year; use it, we are eager to hear from you. Thank you for all who attended the workshop. BRIAR CREEK BUGLE MARCH, 2016 N 9 Social Club Dave Doran A lways new stuff arriving, great dining tables and bedroom sets, lots of interesting kitchen goodies, even a portable dish washer, speakers, pictures. Your dreams live on, come see us on Wednesday and Saturday AM, we always have some laughter and good moments. Remember, it is open to everyone and the $$ go towards supporting all the Social Club activities. Got stuff you want to get rid of, call us and donate it -- remember, it must be clean, it must work and it must be saleable. Buying Social Club Event Tickets? T ickets for upcoming Social Club Events are offered every Wednesday morning, from 8:00 to 9:15AM. If you don't have cash with you for the events, you can write a check (payable to the Briar Creek Social Club), or you have the option to "reserve" a place for which you can pay the following Wednesday morning. Alice Hall is now handling our ticket sales and she is usually at the clubhouse on Wednesday mornings around 8:00, sitting near the poolside door, and Alice will be there until around 9:15AM. Rather than calling Alice at home, you can just drop a note in her mailbox with your request, or simply wait until the next Wednesday to get your tickets. Alice pays her monthly cell phone bill calculated on the number of calls in a month, so the more calls over her monthly cell phone minutes, the more it will cost her. Understandingly, she prefers to save her "minutes" for either personal or emergency telephone conversations. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Caring Ever Since. From our family to your family Morton Plant Hospital got its start in 1914 when several local women asked railroad magnate Morton F. Plant to fund a hospital. He agreed, if the community would also make a substantial contribution. They took the challenge and the hospital opened in 1916. Throughout the years, the hospital served the community, and the community gave back, ensuring that generations of families would be able to count on the compassionate, quality care provided by Morton Plant Hospital. One of the most noteworthy hospitals in the nation, Morton Plant Hospital was founded because a community cared. And 100 years later, one thing remains the same — our commitment to caring for your family. The new Doyle Tower at Morton Plant Hospital, scheduled to be completed in 2016. Another example of how the community gave back. MortonPlant100.org #MortonPlant100 BC1600277_0116 BRIAR CREEK BUGLE MARCH, 2016 N 15 HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM WATER OR FLOOD DAMAGE?

All the participants brought their soup creations in a crockpot, or as some of us call them -- slow cookers. Most of these cookers have heavy stoneware (ceramic) bowls that fit onto (or into) an electric base used for cooking/heating/and keeping food warm. If you have ever washed one of the heavy stoneware bowls, you probably noticed they are quite heavy and unwieldy, and difficult to handle. One of the Soupathon participants mentioned she always uses slow-cooker liners to eliminate washing the stoneware inner bowl by hand. She said using the liners saves her clean-up time and effort, since all she does is (after the bowl is emptied) discard the liner. This is a hint that bears sharing with others! Thank you, Barbara Bergling. Mind Games Bob Lawson Show W hat a great show! Amazing, surprising, and astounding, and lots of "How does he do that?" comments were heard on Saturday night, January 23, when the "Mind Games" show performed. In addition to the "mind-reading" segments of the show, Bob also displayed a great comedic sense and kept us laughing throughout the evening. Some of his feats were unexplainable, which only added to the fun of the night. Jean and Jerry Richter were our host and hostess for the evening and did an outstanding job keeping the show running smoothly. They handled the early evening refreshments, the seating arrangements, as well as the clean-up chores. We are always appreciative of residents who step up to help organize our entertainment events. The Richters have always been extremely supportive of our Social Club; Jean handles all the event posters, the ticket printing, and the two of them head up our Bingo Club. They are both active long-time residents of Briar Creek and are a fine example of the volunteerism necessary to keep our social club on track. When Bob Lawson asked the audience for the name of the person who has a great sense of humor, many voices called out Jerry's name. In response to that suggestion, Bob asked the two of them to participate in a portion of the Mind Games show. Their portion - to say the least - was very amusing. Thanks, Jean and Jerry, your assistance was priceless.

Many more details are available for all of the above trips in the clubhouse, or sign up online www.mybriarcreek.com under Travel. Western Night W estern Night was its usual food, fun and frivolity. Most people dressed in western garb, although I spotted a few Native Americans around the clubhouse. Many attendees sported 10-gallon hats, prairie vest, and interesting cowboy boots. Jail was used to keep the "outlaws" in check. Sheriff Joe Guazzerotti had his trusty six-shooter at his side; and after a few lawbreakers were put in the hoosegow, things settled down. Ribs, and all the usual side dishes, rounded out the menu, and with a few card games, with appropriate background music, the clinking of coins (and glasses), the evening was well spent. Judy Young did a great job, along with help from her sidekicks. Thanks, Judy, this was a wonderful affair and an event you should continue year after year! Aldea & Art Finnegan Alice Hall & Allan Parry Judy Young, Cowboy in Charge Krazy Kards Gary and Pauline Hoad T he first Krazy Kards of the year was held on Friday, February 5. Many thanks to all who participated and to our bakers who helped make the evening even more enjoyable. The next Krazy Kards will be held on Sunday, February 28 at 7:00 p.m. If you have never played, do not despair -- it is a fun game and there will be lots of players who will help you figure things out. You can purchase your tickets at Wednesday morning coffee hour for a $3.00 donation. 18 BRIAR CREEK BUGLE MARCH, 2016 N VINYL SIDING IF YOUR TRIP TURNS INTO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY BECAUSE OF CRITICAL ILLNESS OR INJURY Complete Mobile Home Service "Workmanship Makes the Difference" by SKYMED TAKES YOU HOME FAST!

Interesting Facts about March • Aquamarine and the bloodstone are the birthstones for March. Both stones stand for courage. • There are different reports about the true "birth flower." Some say it's the daffodil and others say it's violet. • Zodiac signs: Pisces and Aries • It is the first month of Spring which begins between March 19-21. • It is the time of year when animals start to wake up from hibernation. • The word March does not have to do from the homonym, which means to walk deliberately. Instead, the name of the month dates back the Roman calendar. March was named for Mars, the Roman god of war. • An old proverb says, “March comes in a like a lion, and goes out like a lamb,” which is reference to winter ending and spring beginning. Another popular saying is "March is mad as a hare," which is a reference to the animals fighting each other. • March is Women’s History Month. • March is American Red Cross Month. • Fire Prevention Month. • Those people born in the beginning and middle of March are Pisces. Those born from March 21 on are Aries. Pisces are ruled by Neptune, which makes them dreamy, creative and intuitive. Aries are ruled by Mars, which makes them energetic, daring and spontaneous. Thought for the Month "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone; for the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough of its own."

Keep up the good work. Holy Trinity, Episcopal Church, across the street, collects these bottles and sends them to M25M -Matthew 25 Ministries – a Christian charity, in Blue Ash, Ohio. They send the bottles along with other medical supplies to needed locations in the USA and overseas, where sanitary dispensing of medications is difficult. For information on Matthew 25 Ministries, go to their web site at www.m25m.org. How to remove your label from the pill bottle 1. Remove cap from prescription bottle and fill bottle with hot water. 2. Replace cap on bottle filled with hot water and allow bottle to sit for two minutes. 3. Peel Label off Bottle. ... 4. Pour water out of bottle and allow to dry. 5. Use baby oil (any oil for that matter) on a paper towel to remove any residue glue If you still have trouble you could go to https://zapstrips.com/ and give that a try.
