In SVE, the activity could be defined as a game of friendship, camaraderie, social interaction and moderate exercise in which everyone can participate. It’s competitive but not cut-throat, it’s teamwork, and most important, it’s the opportunity to share sunshine, fresh air and laughter with friends. In 1991 the Bocce Ball Club was formed with the opening of two courts in the north complex near the tennis courts. Resident Jim Hinkley was instrumental in developing the initial charter and served as first president. As interest in the game grew, two courts were added to the south complex in 1996. The confusion of where to play was resolved in 1997 when the north courts were closed, and all four courts were located in the south complex. For nine years an annual Bratwurst Feed was held to raise funds for improvements which included lights and curbs in 2002, sunshades in 2005 and Astroturf carpeting of the courts in 2008. In 2004, they took on a new revenue generating activity by manning the concession booth at the popular and well attended Jam Session each Friday afternoon in the Auditorium. It takes many volunteers to keep things running smoothly and their help is always appreciated. The group frequently shares fun off the courts as well, with pizza parties, monthly socials, hamburger feeds, and an annual banquet. Open bocce is played in the evenings during the summer and mornings in winter. There are men’s, women’s and mixed leagues. Times and days of play are listed on the activity calendar in the Outlook. New members are always welcome….no experience required.

    Sellers’ Reaping Benefits From MLS!!

    CHAPEL NOTESPastor Richard Koerselman

    If something goes wrong and we need help, we often go to a specialist. A podiatrist for our toe, a cardiologist for our heart and a dermatologist for our skin. It’s always a relief when we hear, “There is new medication just out that should help.” Here is a little humor to illustrate.

    A women’s car broke down, so she called a local mechanic to repair it. He lifted up the hood, looked at the engine, whacked something with a hammer and said, “Try it now”.

    To her amazement, the car started immediately. “That’s incredible,” she said. “You’ve been here less than a minute and you’ve managed to fi x it. I’m so grateful.”

    “All part of the job, madam. That’ll

    be $250.” The smile vanished from the woman’s face. “How much? “How can you charge $250 when all you did was hit it with a hammer?”

    “I can write you out an itemized bill if you’d like.”

    “Yes, please,” she said fi rmly.”So he wrote out the bill and handed

    it to her. It read: “Hitting engine with hammer - $10. Knowing where to hit it - $240.”

    Dealing with our spiritual problems is much more diffi cult than knowing where to hit an engine, or running to a home improvement store to get that small wire cutting pliers we need for a repair. I often wonder what we do when we feel distant from God, having a diffi cult time with a neighbor or feeling guilty about a grudge that has lasted

    for over a dozen years. We often feel “lost” when it comes to taking care of our spiritual needs. But here is the good news, there is help.

    We have more spiritual resources at our fi nger tips that ever before. Go to the Christian book store and count the study Bibles. These Bibles not only have the Biblical text but they have dictionaries, concordances, footnotes, cross references that make it easy to get an answer to strengthen our faith, forgive our guilt or help us to fi nd deeper meaning on our spiritual journey.

    After all, God made us, he created us so he knows how we tick. . . .and he does have the answers. He can take any old rusty problem and redeem it, and turn it into an opportunity for change and growth.

    ACC LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERThe Architectural Change Committee (ACC)

    Is looking for an additional volunteer for this committee. In the winter they meet every Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. During the summer months they meet every second & fourth Tuesday of July and August. If interested, please contact the SVE offi ce or Roy Braunberger (chairperson).

    FREE MOVIES!Did you know the SVE offi ce has a library of over 85

    DVD movies available that residents can borrow? The movies are primarily PG-13 and R rated, and range from comedy to mystery, to drama. Some are oldies but goodies, and some are fairly new releases. Many of these movies have already been shown during our frequent “Mixer & Movie” in the auditorium.

    If you didn’t get a chance to see the movie when it was shown or if you just want to see it again, stop by the offi ce, review our list of available DVD’s and check one out to watch in the comfort of your home.

    GARDEN CONDO III NEWS

    RECYCLING: You asked for it, so you now have it. A Condo Association Recycling Program is now in place. Many of our neighbors have asked for a way to be more environmentally conscious so our Recycling committee investigated and we now have two Recycling

    Bins in the area awaiting your contributions.The City of Mesa experts advised that recycling works best

    if the bins are co-located with existing trash bins. Taking this advice, the fi rst bin is located at the end of the fi rst left street as you enter Keats Ave from Farnsworth and the beginning of Private Keats Ave. The second bin is located on the end of the short street from Kiva to the Private Kiva streets.

    One of the great aspects of this Recycling program is that all but “trash” can be accommodated without requiring us to sort by bottles, cans, plastic or paper. Just deposit it all but don’t bother to bag it up, let the machines do it for you. Examples and more information may be found posted at each mailbox bulletin board. Later in the summer, we will be sending a hardcopy of this information to each homeowner. But for now, those of us full time residents can begin to get familiar with the bins.

    PALM TRIMMING: Yep, in answer to many questions the trimming will begin June 15 and will take three days in a row, not three or four weeks as in the past. Look for the workers and give them some room to work.

    Project progress is happening around the Garden Condo area so watch this space for more project information.

    IF MY BODY WERE A CAR….

    If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my fi nish, by paint job is getting a little dull, but that’s not the worst of it.

    My headlights are out of focus, and it’s especially hard to see things up close.

    My traction isn’t as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things, even in the best of weather.

    My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins, it takes me hours to reach my maximum speed, and my fuel rate burns ineffi ciently.

    But here is the worst of it….almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfi res!

    SVE BOOK CLUBAt the June 2 meeting, we had the pleasure of hosting

    Jean Holbrook Mathews, author of Run for Your Life, our June selection for discussion. Jean and her husband, John, have recently become full time residents of Mesa. Although the setting of Run for Your Life is far reaching, we enjoyed the many references that were made to locations in Arizona.

    The mystery unfolds when a law student saw what no one else did; a suspicious link between an ongoing environmental lawsuit and the nomination of a new judge that would insure a victory for the energy companies. The research that surfaced could have national consequences. Before a cover-up is unraveled, four murders are to take place.

    Jean brought some of her other books to share with the group dealing with little know stories she thought should be told.

    Please join us September 1 in the Saguaro Room, as we discuss To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

    Ceramics ClubCarol Clark

    Don’t let the summer heat get you down. Get out and about and meet new SVE people. A

    fun group to hang out with is the SVE Ceramics Club. Our membership is

    diverse in age and experience, and our members are wonderful to

    be around. Some members have been doing ceramics for decades and some like me are newbies. Drop by the Ceramics Room in the North Recreation Complex

    any Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday morning between 9:00 am and 12:00 noon. Be sure to introduce yourself and ask to see

    some projects and sale items.Popular projects include Holiday pieces (Christmas

    trees, jack-o-lanterns with grandchildren’s names as teeth, personalized ornaments, turkeys, and angels, Easter eggs), Religious pieces (crosses, Last Supper plates, and crèches), Yard Ornaments (frogs, turtles, cobras, lizards), Dishware and Serving ware (mugs, plates, bowls, egg plates), Home Décor (vases, canister sets, fi gurines). Special techniques and glazes can produce marbled, antiqued, metallic, and speckled fi nishes. Styles range from contemporary, Southwest, Native American, to the look of traditional pottery.

    If you kind of like the idea of doing ceramics but you think you have no artistic ability, well think again. If you can color mostly between the lines you can create a piece of ceramic art that will be cherished by the recipient. Many beautiful pieces can be created with just one bottle of glaze that will burst into color and pattern when it is fi red.

    Of course it can be diffi cult to learn ceramics on your own. We have that covered. We have a teacher named Debbie. Class hours during July and August are Tuesday mornings 9:00 - noon. Debbie can advise and instruct you in carrying out projects of your choice. She also helps members with class projects. This summer there are two class projects - one is an ongoing Native American style bowl in which you carve a pattern of birds and plants. Monday July 20 is the date for our annual Christmas in July activity. This project involves decorating a piece of bisque of your choice with sparkly stains.

    A reminder: Classes are held on Monday and Tuesday mornings from 9 a.m.-noon, in the ceramic room. We have an instructor who is present to teach the classes. The cost is $5.00 per day, however if you come on Monday and you choose to come again on Tuesday the cost for the second day is $3.00. Come check us out, even if you have never done ceramics. Our membership dues are $5.00 per year. For more information contact: Sherrie Larson, 480-822-7124 or Sue Kobeila 480-380-6909.

    and BytesBeverly Selvage

    Our Computer Club “ Gatherings” in the Computer Training Facility have been a big success and many of us have gained important information on the use of software programs and many other perplexing problems. The program on “All things Google” was especially interesting to all who attended. I don’t think that any of us realized the different uses that google presented. We all knew about the maps, search and g-mail, but games, books, fi nances and ect.

    In July Joe will be presenting “Get Ready for Windows 10” on July 13th in the Computer Training Facility at 9 A.M. and on July 27th he will have Q and A followed by Windows 10 upgrade in 10 days. These both are important for all of us.

    The “Fix it Tuesdays” will continue in the Computer Training Facility from 1-3 P.M. If you are bringing your lap top please bring your power cord or the tower for your desktop. A fee of $15.00 is charged and if putting in new Ram bring your ram for your computer.

    Be sure and read the Newsletter articles on our Website. The one for June gave information on how to clean your computer monitor and TV screens safely, using the right products.

    DOGS ‘R US

    L. WittemerMy name is Stella. That’s me in my Easter dress. My adopted

    brother, Squirt, and I moved to the community in April of 2014 with our Mom, Marie Marshall. That’s Squirt lying down; he likes to do that a lot. We were both adopted by our Mom because we were not wanted by our old families….but….boy! Are we ever wanted and loved now.

    You will see us walking around the community almost every day. You will know it’s us because we look like a little choo-choo train. I am almost always out front like the engine, because I love to walk and would even like to run if I could. Squirt wants to stroll or even lie down. I think it’s because of the medicine he takes so he won’t have seizures. That’s why he is the caboose. Mom Marie is in the middle. I pull her and she pulls Squirt…that’s why we look like a train.

    If you see us, wave or stop and say hi because we love people. Sometimes I bark at big dogs though, so don’t get mad if I bark at your big dog….I don’t mean to be such a brat!

    P.S. Mom says to remind you that there are lots of other cute dogs like us that need to be adopted.

    Our condolences to Helen Markovich on the loss of her pet, Missy. We thank Helen for contributing Missy’s food, dishes, bed, coats, etc., that can be given to dog shelters.

    GENEALOGY Last month we gave you a Genealogy website to try,

    www.familysearch.org, to help you start your family story. Hopefully you discovered something that you did not know.

    This month we have another website for you to try. It is another free site and is the number 3 searched family history site on the web. The site searches 121 million grave records from cemeteries all over the country. The site also has 75 million photos of tombstones, cemeteries, etc. Type www.fi ndagrave.com in your search engine, select what you want to search for, type in a name, click on search. The site can be an important tool in fi nding your ancestor. Give it a try. You could fi nd another unknown part of your family’s story.

    TRAVEL CLUB

    LADIES GOLF LEAGUEThelma Whitaker

    Her we are, already on the back side of the year. It’s hard to believe July is upon us already. Another tournament is coming up soon on the 4th of July. This tournament if sponsored by the Ladies League. We hope you are signed up and ready to get out there and have fun. Next month, the names of the winners will be announced. Hopefully I can be one of them!

    This hot weather makes us look for shade and makes us reeeeally appreciate the weather in May which was unprecedented. May usually starts the beginning of our hot season, but held off until almost June. Oh well, we are a tough bunch!!!

    As more people are going away now , League is smaller, but we do have fun. There is not much to write about at this time. Hopefully next month will improve. One can only hope.

    SVE Softball Club

    Tennis TalkDiana Roskuski

    Have you been thinking of getting involved in tennis play? Whether you are a true beginner, haven’t played since high school, or are a semi-pro, the SVE Tennis Club has perfect partners/opponents for you! Most of the play is doubles, but there are a few hardy singles players. Free instruction will begin in the Fall.

    This free instruction has played an important role in the SVE Tennis Club since the mid-1980s, when home and condos were still under construction. Lona Christoffers unearthed an article about a “Kindergarten Tennis” class conducted by Bob Holst and his wife, Evelyn. The 6-week class gave help and encouragement while original members learned the principles of tennis.

    Tennis Club members were recently asked to submit favorite tennis tips. DE Ramsey got this tip as a 2.0 player, from beloved coach Ed Jackson…STEP, BOUNCE, HIT. When receiving a serve or return, look at the position of your opponent’s racquet…then STEP (turn and point) – let it BOUNCE (gives you more time) – HIT (watch the ball hit the racquet). Thanks, DE!

    During the hot summer months most of the play is during the cooler morning and evening hours. Come up to the courts and start a conversation with one of our friendly players. They will be happy to help you fi t into a group, or provide you with names of potential players to allow you to organize a regular play day. There are usually several summer groups, and the coordinators always welcome new players. Open “round robin” play is on Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 7-8:30 a.m.

    If you are new in the Village and would like to play next season in League, contact Gary Larson at (360) 481-5178. Remember to keep hydrated during the hot weather, whether playing tennis or not!

    Why you need a Travel Agent? A travel agent is an advisor, a partner in the planning process. I like to provide my clients with value they can’t get anywhere else. The web might provide a wealth of resources for travelers, but it also hosts endless sources of overwhelming, confusing and even unreliable information. I try to give my clients incredible vacations with personal touches only a travel agent can provide.

    How about going to Disney World? Want to be a kid again (or act like one)? There is so much to see in Disney World and Epcot Center. If enough are interested we can get a group to go the fi rst part of October. Let me know if you think you would like to be part of the fun.

    In the summer of 2016 we will plan a

    cruise tour to Alaska the last week of August and fi rst week of September. I will have more details later.

    I have some summer get-aways to San Francisco & Wine Country with 4th of July celebration; an evening with the stars in Flagstaff at the Lowell Observatory; Pageant of the Masters and Queen Mary, and a Durango/Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad ride and Mesa Verde National Monument.

    It’s not too soon to think about the rose Parade tour. This is a fun and beautiful trip. If paid in full by July 4th, you will receive a $50 per person discount.

    Have a safe and healthy summer and see you in Oct. at the Travel Club.

    Mickey Sommerfeld, 480-373-9687 or [email protected].

    The softball program continues to be active throughout the summer. Activities begin at 6:30 a.m. each Tuesday and Thursday morning with batting practice followed by organized games from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. All residents and guests are invited to participate regardless of gender or skill level.

    In late September and early October, our fi eld will close down for approximately three weeks for winter grass reseeding. During that time, Apache Wells, one of our reciprocating parks, will sponsor our residents’ softball activities!

    Residents are reminded that in September and October, organizational meetings will be scheduled to form the Fall and Winter League Schedules.

    For more information on the summer program and the upcoming meetings, please contact either: Dom Martines 480-984-5460, Ron Borruso 480-807-6710 or Mick Borton 480-968-8104. Additional information about softball leagues may be found under activities on the HOA web site.

    For any questions, contact Al Ludwig 480-380-3097.

    SUNLAND STITCHERSFreda Klein

    In May we met at Pies and More for lunch. A good time was enjoyed

    by all.We continue to

    work both Monday and Wednesdays on quilt tops.

    Kay Turner saw the Stitchers article in the June Outlook

    and came to join us on Wednesday, and in two sessions has almost fi nished one quilt top. Many thanks to her, and we have gained a new friend

    MaryLynn Warren has been working on pillowcase sized fun printed bags with a draw string for foster children who have nothing of their own to carry their belongings in. Twila Hall and Joanne Martinek have also helped MaryLynn.

    Rosemary Braunberger has been quilting our layered products. When the binding sewers fi nish their tops, they are looking for Rosemary to pop in with a new set of quilts so they can keep sewing, but have to wait for someone to sew the binding fi rst.

    We have been averaging 12 to 14 members each Monday and Wednesday to keep our charity work ready for those who are in need.

    Sunand Village East Association Board of Dirctors MeetingMay 14, 2015 - Auditorium

    The meeting of the SVE Board of Directors was called to order at 9:00 AM by President John Hewitt. Members present were Arden Freeman, Linda Cerf, Mary Lynn Warren, Bill Randall, Jack Grove and Manager Lisa Titmas. Roy Braunberger was absent. All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.

    SECRETARY’S REPORT – Mary Lynn WarrenMotion was made by Arden Freeman to approve the report

    of the Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes dated April 9, 2015 as posted. Seconded by Jack Grove. Vote unanimous. No Nays. Passed.

    TREASURER’S REPORT – Linda CerfDuring the month of April, 2015 the Operating Revenue

    was $127,181.16. Retail sales income was $199.00, Facilities income was $1090.00, Bingo revenue was $12,506.00 and Activities revenue was $16,640.58. Operating, Retail Sales, Bingo and Activities revenue categories were above Budget for the month of April. The total revenue for April, 2015 for all areas of Operations was $158,373.89, which is above budget by $24,364.28.

    As for April expenses, some expenses such as Activities expense was above budget for the month and Utilities expense was below budget. Landscape maintenance and Building & Common area repairs are also below budget for the month. As a reminder, Bingo expenses include their winning payouts, supplies and donations as an expense.

    Currently, we have a surplus or a positive net income for Operations of $10,990.77. This fi gure includes the Bingo revenue and Bingo expenses, and the monthly reserve and capital allocation.

    On the Reserve and Capital Fund Statement, there was the monthly budgeted reserve allocation of $10,435.58 and a Capital Contribution of $15,000.00.

    SECURITY REPORT – Bill RandallThere were a total of 113 garage doors left open. Although

    down from last month’s 229, Security continues to waste time chasing bad or inoperative phone numbers while trying to contact residents about their open garage doors. So far we have been fortunate here in the Village that no one has taken advantage of opportunities to break in or harm residents, but we must remain vigilant. Security can only do so much for

    us. Security provided the standard procedure of escorts for Bingo and singles. The main gate to RV storage facility was left open on 4/6/15. Still having reports of RV’s. Trailers, motor homes, (112 Total) parked overnight on the streets – several, more than the allowable 48 hours. On 4/28/15 a dog was reported in the South Pool enclosure. Lisa and Security was notifi ed. Dog removed to outside area. Also, abandoned vehicle noted at S. Farnsworth just off of Guadalupe. On 4/29/15 an unoccupied home being renovated on S. Kilarea had garage door left open, possibly by contractors. Security received a call on 4/30/15 from Lisa, our manager, about an open door at the Tennis Facility. Security responded and found an individual working in the storage shed. Auditorium lights were left on after activities several times, exterior door to south activity area pool pump room left open.

    PRESENTATIONS – Community Manager Lisa TitmasCraig Ahlstrom, President of

    Farnsworth Development Company and one of the original signers of the Sunland Village East Articles of Incorporation presented 4 volumes of SVE history

    dating back to March of 1984 to Board President John Hewitt who accepted them on behalf of the Association.

    of items and scrapbooks to Board President John Hewitt

    who accepted them on behalf of the Association. Ed thanked Larry Seeger, Gary Chestek, Paul Christoffers, Betty Elm, Jan Winkler, Pat Chumbley,

    Marge May, Gene Trust, Dave Hughes, Duane Velde, Paul Thovson, Bobbie Hughes and Jim Cherry for their assistance in the project as well as the many other individuals who helped in the construction of the Palo Verde building.

    Motion was made by Arden Freeman to accept all these documents as part of the offi cial archives of SVE. Motion seconded by Mary Lynn Warren. Vote unanimous. No Nays. Passed

    to everyone for their patience during construction. The next project on the schedule is resealing the South complex parking lots. Note: Last month the bids for the reseal project were due the day before the regular April Board meeting.

    PRESIDENT’S REPORT – John HewittThis is our 4th Board meeting since taking offi ce. A

    quarter of our term has already come and gone. A past board president once told me that residents don’t remember the Board as a whole, the just remember the president. However, before the election I made the statement that the Board of Directors is not a one person show, but consists of seven (7) elected, volunteer members. Seven people who made a conscientious decision to volunteer their time and take on the responsibilities of an SVE Board Member.

    As stated in previous Board meetings and as you’ve noticed the seven (7) of us clearly communicate our positions and respectfully listen on one another. While the Board doesn’t always reach a unanimous decision, the decision is reached by using the democratic process. Everyone on the Board does their due diligence to reach a decision that is believed to be in the best interest of Sunland Village East. A decision based on research and open discussion.

    Three Board members and I give monthly reports; however, there are three who “escape” without giving a monthly report. I asked those three members, MaryLynn Warren, Arden Freeman and Jack Grove to come up with a quarterly review. Their input is very valuable to us all. As always you have this Boards commitment to work in the best interests of the community and provide what we hope will continue on as a productive and trouble free year.

    Both Mary Lynn Warren and Arden Freeman gave positive reports on their experience with the fi rst quarter of this years Board. Jack Grove provided the ACC report.
