Food for Thought

Is it truthful? Is what I’m about to say

the truth? Is it helpful? Or will it simply harm

the other person? Is it necessary? If it’s not

necessary, why do I need to say it? Is it kind?

Our world is simply out of control with anger.

We don’t need to add anything to it. Let them

see Christ in us. Remember the sick and suf-

fering. Thinking before we speak can avoid

many conflicts. So it’s best to let them inter-

pret our silence!

“Stupid people express their anger

openly, but sensible people are patient and

hold it back. Therefore each of you must put

off falsehood and speak truthfully to his

neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Be angry, yet do not sin. Do not let the sun set

upon your anger, and do not give the devil a

foothold.” (Proverbs 29:11/Eph. 4-26)

Live Music

The band, Group Therapy will

once again entertain us with classic

rock-n-blues favorites at Holiday

House July 7 beginning at 7:00

p.m. Bring your own beverages

and snacks and enjoy the music.

It’s free! Paid for by the Activi-

ties Committee.

much fun it is to play. Bocce is a game for all ages and abilities. Shown is a re-cent Thursday morning game.

Park Upgrades We want to thank you for your patience while we make many landscape improvements here at Holi-

day Shores. We are sure you will be happy with the results when it is finished. The new work will

give our public areas a more streamlined look as well as keeping down maintenance costs. Soon you

will notice a dozen pergola swings around the park where you can stop and rest during your walks.

Spring Cleaning Although spring is officially over, you are reminded to get your units cleaned if you haven’t already

done so. If you don’t have access to a pressure washer, a long handled brush and a bucket of soapy

water will do the job nicely. Or contract someone to do it for you. Also, if there are weeds growing

in your driveway or walkways, they need to be cleaned up. Let’s work together to make our park

sparkle.

Fishing Tournament

The annual Holiday Shores Fishing Tournament will

be held Saturday, July 21 from

8:00 a.m until 2:00 p.m. A $5.00

fee will be charged to enter the

with the biggest fish to collect

cash prizes. To register for the

tournament stop by Lot 229 be-

fore July 7 or pay at the beach at

the day of the event. All entrants must register prior

to fishing.

Wednesday Meetings

Each Wednesday morning at 9:00 you have an

opportunity to meet and greet other residents as

we host our regular meetings at Holiday House.

Free coffee and donuts are available beginning at

8:30 which leaves us time to socialize with our

friends and neighbors and get an update on park

activities and the latest gossip. Stop by this week

for a fun and informative hour.

Thank You Volunteers

We appreciate the dozen volunteers who

banded together to prepare and serve over

one hundred residents and guests at the Taco

Night last month. They are among many

who help make this a better community for

all our residents.

Some people see volunteering as an activity

that only benefits others. But the truth is, the

benefits of volunteering can have an impact

on your overall well being as well as your

relationships with others. Volunteering will

help build friendships. Socially, the benefits

to volunteering show up quickly and have

long-term effects. Social interaction im-

proves mental and physical health, according

to Psychology Today. The benefits

of consistent socializing include better brain

function and lower risk for depression and

anxiety. Studies show that it can also im-

prove your immune system. So don’t be shy.

Do it for your own well being.

Our Faux Chef, Johnny Johnson prepares the

meat at the Taco Night in June.

Paul and Marlene Brad-ley preside over the many side dishes that guests brought to pass.

Kari Tracey and Carol Muschiana serve up

the taco meat to guests.
