FEBRUARY FASHION SHOW

This is your invitation to attend the fashion show followed by shopping onsite on Tues-day, February 4 at 1:30PM in the Upper Clubhouse. Clothes for women and men will be highlighted with savings galore. Do you have a new outfit for your Valentine this year? Host Dyann Shaver will help you find one. Please join in the fun.

Present-ed each Wednes-day after-noon from 2 to 4PM In the Upper Club-house, Rita Anacker has made extensive preparations to share the nutritional, life-style and recipes that can help you improve in four different focus areas: The Brain, Vision and Hearing, Heart Health and

Healthy Breasts.

They will meet each Friday in the Upper Clubhouse from 12 noon to 4:30PM and invite all interested to come and participate, watch or get ac-quainted!

Cat Spa MAGIC?

How does CatSpa change to a holiday expe-rience with lights, decorations and beauti-ful Christmas trees and then they are gone? It’s not magic—it is a lot of effort on the part of our staff AND OUR VOLUNTEERS!. Special kudos to volunteer Arla Pierce and her elves for all their effort. Volunteers abound at CatSpa. Why do they volunteer? Ask them and they will reply that it makes them happy, gives them purpose, etc. When Arla reports she dedicated over 30 hours last December to adding her touches to CatSpa, she is one of many who make this a resort for all to enjoy. Thank You!

POTLUCK TIME!

Every Wednesday Nights in February at 5PM everyone is invited to attend our community potluck. You bring your bev-erage, place setting and an entrée, side dish or dessert to serve 8-10 people! We get to know each other better and enjoy a great meal!
