From the President’s Desk—Dave Borchardt

As I write this message the weather is starting to warm up and most of our Winter residents have left for their summer homes. We wish them safe travels and are anxious to see them back this fall. Thank you Sun Communities for the April 5th Ice Cream Social. I wasn’t able to attend the Hot Dog Day but people have told me it was a big success and we have another one planned for May 16th. As always the Strawberry Shortcake Festival was a huge success. Thank you so much to Connie Riter, Judy Childers, Arlene Wicken, Bob Hert and Bev Hert. The May resident meeting will be our last until this fall. Be sure to observe the 10 MPH speed limit in the park, we have a lot of people walking and riding their bikes.

LADIES SOUP-N-SALAD LUNCHEON by Jane Boudreau

On Tuesday April 3rd

nine ladies enjoyed chicken noodle soup, salads and desserts. This was a small but jovial group of ladies. The Ladies Get Acquainted Soup-N-Salad Luncheon was begun over ten years ago as an opportu-nity for the ladies of Desert Harbor to share lunch and become acquainted. For some of our resi-dents this has been their only occasion to share time with the other women in our community. In the past we held fashion shows with residents modeling outfits from a local retailer. On other occasions we made valentines, played games including bingo and held trivia contests. The committee is al-ways open to ideas to facilitate the enjoyment of the attendees. As the attendance dwindles with winter residents leaving for home, we may consider suspending our luncheon. We invite the new ladies in our community as well as seasoned residents to please con-sider attending our luncheon on May 1

st. A signup sheet is posted in the clubhouse to assist us in

knowing how many tables to prepare as well as give you an idea of what the others are bring-ing. We meet about 11:45 am with lunch served at 12 noon. Please bring your table service includ-ing a bowl and your beverage to drink. Don’t forget your $1 for the fifty-fifty drawing. We do have an enjoyable time no matter the number attending. Hope to see you on May 1

FIRST HOT DOG COOKOUT by Jane Boudreau

This is an opportunity to enjoy time with neighbors as well to welcome new residents to our community. The Activities Organization has scheduled a second Hot Dog Cookout to be held on May 16, 2018 at 5:00 pm. Please remember to bring your own beverage. Signup sheet will be available in the club-house. Please sign up early which will allow the board to purchase sufficient supplies for the cook-out. The May cookout is the last planned until the cooler weather. Please check the newsletter, calendar and boards for events over the summer.

Lunch at Uncle Bears by Bea Goudeseune

Twenty two lovely ladies attended the Out of Park Luncheon at Uncle Bears in April. What a great

day it was! The food was, as usual, “delicious” as was the most important, “the company.” So much

laughter and conversation, picture taking, and just an all around delightful time. Our poor waiter,

serving all 22 of us, took orders, delivered, and sorted all our separate checks! (I think he was new

on the job, but what a training!) We all agreed the service was very good. Thank you, ladies, for

making this such a great day! And…if you missed this month’s outing, next month’s luncheon will be

at Chili’s on Signal Butte on May 15th…..Sign up in the Clubhouse.

Changes in Genealogy Class by Esther Lough

In previous years, the genealogy class has been put on summer hiatus from May to October, but we are making some changes this year which hopefully will be beneficial to all who are interested. This change will become effective immediately. We will not be meeting formally at the clubhouse on Friday afternoons, but I will be available to work

with folks on a more individual basis by appointment, which could be most any time of day or any

day of the week or weekend at our mutual convenience. As usual, I can help with methods of re-

searching, organizing, and documenting data, and setting up files/books to each person’s own style.

If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me: Phone 480-288-8579 or E-Mail incos-

Strawberry Fest by Connie Riter

On Tuesday, April 24th, we had our annual Strawberry Fest at 2 pm with over 50 people attending.

Arlene Wicken purchased pound cake and real and canned whipped cream. Connie and her crew, consisting of Bob Hert, Judy Childers, and a guest, Eileen Bellestri, prepared 40 quarts of strawber-ries! All the helpers, including Bev Hert, served the shortcake. There was enough left over to take some home to residents who couldn’t come to the clubhouse and we still have 3 bags of prepared strawberries in the freezer for an ice cream social or another strawberry fest. Everyone who came seemed to enjoy themselves and many even had “seconds.” Want to know some facts about strawberries? They were first mentioned in literature during ancient

Roman times. They are one of the top 5 fruits high in vitamin C and eating them lowers the risk of

cardiovascular disease and cancer and lowers blood sugar levels. They were first cultivated in Brit-

tany, France from strawberries brought back from Chili in the 1750’s. Before that wild strawberries

were eaten especially for medicinal purposes. During the middle ages, the entire plant was used to

treat depression. The United States leads the world in growing and consuming strawberries with

over 1.3 million tons of strawberries produced yearly. We did our share at our strawberry fest!

Summary of April Residents Meeting by Connie Riter

Bob Hert began our monthly meeting at 9:00am leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. He then gave the floor to our new president, Dave Borchardt. About 65 residents were present. Dave thanked Bob for the excellent job he did as President and also Cami Weiss for her work as Vice President. He also thanked Mike Kereluk, member at large, who was not present. He then took roll call of the Board and all were present. The minutes and treasurer’s report were ap-proved as written. Joyce Hoopes asked if we received any interest on the money we have in the bank. Richard Granata said the bank does not require us to have a certain amount in savings, so they do not give us interest. Committee Reports: Connie mentioned the ladies soup n salad luncheons held each month on the first Tuesday. This month we had only 8 people present. We will try one more month. If we don’t get more people, we will not schedule any more luncheons until the fall. She also indicated that she gave $400 to the Activities Committee for the sale of Coyote Coupon Books this year, as well as 10 unsold books. These will be used as raffle items at various events. Officers Reports: Richard Lewis: $61.20 was collected from the cans this month. Apparently we are drinking more! Carol Rysavy gave a report on the library. She said we have a considerable credit at the Book Vault in Superstition Springs Mall -- $300. This can be used to cover ½ of a used book you buy there. Just tell them you are from Desert Harbor. The owners are nice to work with. Carol bought a shelf for movies which will now be stored in the closet in the library. Dave mentioned that since so many people don’t have family down here to gather with on holidays, Thanksgiving Pot Luck and Christmas Pot Luck will be held on the actual day this year. He mentioned the Hot Dog Day and the Straw-berry Festival held this month. The time for Hot Dog Day was changed to 5 pm since this would allow people who work during the day to come. Upcoming Events planned in the future: The Guilty Pleasures Band are booked for March 23 next year for $600 and Bernie and Red for February 28. Tim Eggebraaten has been hired for March 10 for $450. (Since the board is allowed only to book events costing $500 or less, we took a vote on Guilty Pleasures Band and it was ap-proved.) Cinco de Maya will be a salsa contest and Margaritas Fest on May 5

th at 5 pm. Chips, Salsa, and drinks

served. Prizes for Salsa winners will be $50, $30, and $20. Karen Kroschel and Paula Barker agreed to take over Bingo, but would like to have a rotating team helping them so two people don’t have to do it every week. There will be a sign up sheet if you’d like to help out and another meeting will be held for those volunteering, later in the month. The Host and hostess sheet needs volunteers to handle most months. If we don’t get volunteers, we won’t have pot luck. Bonnie Harrison gave the results of the Canadian Party. They made $455 in ticket sales and the 50/50 brought in an-other $189. This money was handed over at this time to Richard Granata. She said 126 tickets were sold, and 125 people attended! March 2 next year will be the Canadian Party. Jane Boudreau gave the report on the Fun Day. She thanked everyone who helped out to make it a success. She said the total amount taken in was $5,832.33 and expenses were $834.77. Our profit was then listed at $4,997.56. (Book sales were not listed as a separate item.) Nancy Pavkov has cleaned out her storage shed and has room to store 2 wheelchairs, a few walkers, etc. for use of the residents. She wants everyone to know that she has the room and these will be available as needed when they are added to her storage. So, if you have one not being used, please consider giving it to her. Concerning the Street Dance and Barbecue, we had no where to place our trash after the event. Dave spoke to Ernie and Dave will have the key for the trash bin for future events. The 50/50 which consisted of $46 was won by Bev Borchardt. Two Coyote Coupon Books were also given out to Philicia Hightower and to Joanne Hankison. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 am. (Note: May’s meeting will be the last until the fall.)

Honoring our Veteran Residents by Connie Riter

Twice a year we have a display of pictures in the Clubhouse of all our residents, both present and past, who have served in the military. If you are new to the Park or just didn’t have a picture before, please consider letting me borrow a picture for our Board. These can be pictures of you or your chil-dren, grandchildren, brothers or sisters, parents, or some other relative. I will give the original back to you and will give you a sheet to complete for some information on the person. Our display will be set up on May 21

st, so I will need the picture by the 15

th to have it on our board

this Spring. Thank You!

Recycled Card Program by Connie Riter

For years I have been collecting used greeting cards and sending them to Nevada because they were the only ones who would take them, at my own expense. I have decided not to continue to do this. Here is the address should you want to send your own cards to St. Jude’s, but if you have unused cards --- with envelopes, I would suggest you give them to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or to St. Vincent de Paul’s.
