Security Patrol

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.
