Just a reminder....as many of our volunteersleave for the summer, extra help is neededfor those months. Please contact JimMcClanahan (#36 480 302-2194) if you arewilling to help keep our park safe.
The last luncheon of the year was held on April 8
and hosted by the Aquasize group. It was a smaller
crowd but still a good turnout. Those present
enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw,
watermelon and cream puffs.
Among items discussed at the meeting were the
craft faire, hostesses for next year’s luncheons, and
the food pantry.
It was decided that next year there will be only one
faire which will be held in the spring. There will be
more information as the time approaches.
Volunteers stepped forward to chair next year’s
luncheons. The next luncheon will be November 18
(3rd Wednesday) and hosted by the Ladies’ Club
Board.
The food pantry, the club’s major project, has
helped a great many people in the park. No more
items are needed at this point as the pantry is now
fully stocked. Thank you to all who have helped with
this project.
Dear Residents.....
We have begun lot inspections, and for those of you
who have taken care of your lots...THANK YOU! The
inspections will be continuing throughout the park.
As the park starts to empty for the summer, I have
several things that need to be addressed. First of
all, you may sell your home to whomever you choose;
however, they MUST be park-approved before you
do so. It does need to be done properly.
Secondly, when your guests visit and use the
facilities, children must be accompanied by their
parents or the resident whom they are visiting.
Children have been in the pool, the spa and the
exercise room without adult supervision. No child
under the age of 4 is allowed in the pool. It has
been noticed that babies in diapers have been
allowed in the pool. This is against the rules.
Children are not allowed in the pool in street clothes
or shoes. Proper attire is required for everyone
using the pool.
All residents are expected to know the rules and see
to it that they and their guests abide by them.
Again, a reminder that the speed limit is posted as
10mph. Please obey it.
Have a safe and happy summer.
Vicki, Park Manager

The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvisheld a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Her campaign to make "Mother's Day"a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her beloved mother, Ann ReevesJarvis, died. Anna’s mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she had startedand to set aside a day to honor mothers, "the person who has done more for you than anyone in
the world.” Anna's mother was a peace activist who had cared for wounded soldiers on both sides during theCivil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.
Due to the campaign efforts of Anna Jarvis, several states officially recognized Mother's Day, the first in 1910
being West Virginia, Jarvis’s home state. In 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation creating Mother’s
Day, the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers.
Although Jarvis was successful in founding Mother's Day she soon became resentful of the commercialization
and was angry that companies would profit from the holiday. By the early 1920's, Hallmark and othercompanies had started selling Mother's Day cards. Jarvis became so embittered by what she saw asmisinterpretation and exploitation that she protested and even tried to rescind Mother's Day. The holiday thatshe had worked so hard for was supposed to be about sentiment, not about profit. Jarvis’s intention for theholiday had been for people to appreciate and honor mothers by writing a personal letter, by hand, expressinglove and gratitude, rather than buying gifts and pre-made cards. Jarvis organized boycotts and threatenedlawsuits to try to stop the commercialization. She crashed a candymaker’s convention in Philadelphia in 1923.Two years later she protested at a confab of the American War Mothers, which raised money by sellingcarnations, the flower associated with Mother’s Day, and was arrested for disturbing the peace.
Jarvis's holiday was adopted by other countries and it is now celebrated all over the world.
