EvErgrEEn Coho SKP ParK’S SilvEr annivErSary

Evergreen Coho SKP Park’s Silver Anniversary will be celebrated this June 27th!

It will be 25 years since our park received its occupancy permit for our clubhouse, and a quarter century

ago the membership celebrated with a fun-packed luau.

A celebration will be held on the June 27th date, but the main activities will be included in COHO DAYS held

the first week of August so more members will be able to be present. Watch the clubhouse bulletin board

and COHO Tales for more information as it becomes available.

COMMITTEES COMMITTEES COMMITTEES COMMITTEES

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Evergreen Coho SKP Park. Committee Chairpersons are volunteers who

organize the other volunteers to accomplish the tasks that the Committees are charged with. Without

these wonderful volunteers, nothing would get done in the park. As a reminder the following is a list of

the Committee Chairpersons for the current year. New Chairpersons will be selected by Committees

after the annual Meeting in August. If you have a question about the work done by these Committees,

or want to volunteer to work on any of these committees, contact the Committee Chairpersons. Contact

information is posted on the bulletin board in the Clubhouse.

The past two months have been very busy in the Clubhouse with games, crafts, potlucks, Piz-

za Parties, St Patrick’s Day Dinner, Easter Dinner, breakfasts, a memorial service, and meeting

point for the Ladies Lunches. Thank you to all who have helped organize, sponsor, or partici-

pate in our activities.

In April the Ladies lunch returned to Doc’s Marina Grill at Point Hudson in Port Townsend. This is a popular restaurant

on the water with a great view of water as well as great food.

The Landscape Committee

Although the Landscape Committee officially disbands in September the members continued meeting, planning and occasionally working as weather permitted. I am very pleased to report that this winter the group completed three projects. Our first project was the succulent garden behind the laundry room. Working as a team we completed the garden after the utility fellows scraped the grass off the area. This patch of grass did not received any water during the summer and was an unsightly brown patch of dead looking grass so we decided to create a succulent garden that would not require watering. Our second project was headed by Diana Carter. She identified rose bush-es that were not doing well in the East garden due to the shading of the large trees. She transplanted six of them to the West side of the laundry yard where they would received the much needed sun. She transplanted an additional five rose bushes to the West parking area. There, with some help from the rest of the committee, we transformed a messy area into another rose garden with a gravel area and chair. Our third project was the waterfall. Merrie Freed spent the winter preparing the ground, and getting rid of noxious weeds that had taken root. We spread beauty bark over the waterfall and planted small heather plants that will rapidly increase in size. Our common area adopters have also been very busy. We have a few new adopters that have done wonders in their common are-as. Because of all of our adopters the park has had early spring flow-ers popping up. The colors are such a welcome sight after the browns and greens of winter. The Landscape Committee officially begins May 1st. We meet every Thursday at 8:30am in the coffee room. Come and join us.........

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT

This has been a fairly quiet winter regarding utility work around the park. This shows in the Budget for this Fiscal year 2014/2015. We have a little over $3,000, for the remainder of the fiscal year (3 Months). I have submitted our Budget for 2015/2016, to the Budget committee, for $16,950. Our available planned funds in our Contingency/Replacement Fund for 2015/2016 for Septic(636) is - $278,137. Electrical Systems(637) is - $71,010. Water Systems(641) is $2,000. These numbers may be adjusted, when the Board reviews the pro-posed C/R budget.

Over the past year, we have been coordinating our Thursday work sessions with Lot Management, and I plan to continue this same schedule for the remainder of this Fiscal year (3 Months). This way we can coordinate the use of the Truck and Tractor for both committees, and work together on projects.

Our winter schedule is to meet at the Shops at 9:00am and are usually finished by noon. When more people return to the park, we will probably start at 8:00am

Working with Earl Jones, Lot Management Chairperson and myself, Utilities Chairperson, we have asked George Hilke to coordinate the work schedule between the two committees for the Thursday work ses-sions. We will be asking those that need things done within the park to give their request to George Hilke, as the contact, and he will make out the Thursday work schedule. I've attached a copy of the list that George has put together for this Thursday work session.

1) Water leak lot 605

2) Rock for lot 228

3) Rock for lot 234

4) Rock for lot 125

5) Caulk shed lot 437

6) Caulk shed lot 543

7) Caulk shed lot 545

8) Clean lot 508

9) Pressure wash sheds

Further to the entry fountain repair, the Board has taken over this project. My goal was to have it fixed and flowing before more Leaseholders returned.

Our schedule for the remaining of this Fiscal Year has changed. Both Diane and I will be out of the Park starting April 17th until May 1st. We will be leaving again the end of May for a family reunion in Wisconsin, returning to the park mid July.

Bob Lehnert - Utilities Vice Chairperson, is in the Park, and if there are any invoices that need to be signed, please stop by Bob's and he will sign those invoices.

For those that will be traveling back "home", safe travels and we will see you this summer. Sounds like it is going to be exceptionally warm!

Dick Koeb - Utilities Chairperson

WELCOME NEW LEASEHOLDERS

TEXT AND PHOTOS BY SANDRA HAVEN

Rick and Madelynne Bowerman are both native Californians who became leaseholders last fall, just before heading for Arizona. They are now back in the park with their motorhome in lot #542. Rick retired from the Army, then spent 13 years as a truck driver, specializing in loads of food grade products throughout the 11 western states. They sold their home in 2002 and began full-timing. They hosted for both private and state parks for 10 years through-out Washington, Oregon, Utah, California and Arizona. Their favorite hosting job was at Washington state’s Cle Elum park where the Cle Elum and Cooper Rivers converge. Rick loves catch-and-release fishing and woodworking. Madelynne says she doesn’t let MS slow her down as she gets around on what she calls her scooter. Along with their little dog Missy, they plan to continue heading to Arizona BLM camp areas in the winters and enjoying our summers here.

MARKETING COMMITTEE Thanks to the cooperation of many of our members, we were able to get newsworthy and interesting facts about our park in the media lately. Highlighting Our Park Across the Country An article, “Breaking Ground,” about how RVers can enjoy gardening while “on the go” and highlight-ing our Landscaping Committee’s efforts came out in the March/April issue of Escapees magazine. We were also able to insert a separate page about our park’s upcoming Silver Anniversary. A “thank you” to all those we interviewed and photographed for this article: Bonnie Herner, Merrie Freed, Mari-anne Ecker, Diana Carter and Darlene Cathey. Focusing In Local Media, too! Then we refocused to the local community with another article, “Traveler’s Dreams Come True.” This article came out in the local newspaper’s quarterly magazine, “Living on the Peninsula.” The article was about our park’s upcoming Silver Anniversary, when we will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the opening of our clubhouse, the business and social hub of our community. With that article we en-couraged readers to contact us for information about Escapees, our co-op park and to set up a tour of what we have to offer. “Living on the Peninsula” is available county-wide for free at restaurants, con-venience stores and businesses from March through June, as well as inserted in the papers of all newspaper subscribers. More to Come! Articles: Check out the upcoming May/June issue of Escapees magazine as well! Pete Granger has a feature article highlighting our Olympic Peninsula, in his “Washington’s Scenic Discover: The Olympic Peninsula,” which includes Evergreen Coho SKP Park as a great place for Escapees to discover. In that same issue, more highlights of Western Washington are included in the “SKP Stops” section. A double dose of our park in the same issue! Advertising: We also have inserted a paid-for ad in RV Life’s “Resorts and Destinations” page that shows Washington’s places for RVers. This ad will be in their May, 2015 issue as well as online. Next year we plan advertising in both Escapee publications (the annual Travel Guide) and in public venues, like RV Life. We are also working with the office to order various promotional items (shirts, cups, etc.) with our park logo to offer to members and visitors. The Best PR: Word-of-Mouth But the best form of advertising the values and benefits of Evergreen Coho SKP Park is word-of-mouth. Thanks to all of you who have been spreading the word of our park across the country during your travels this year! That is the key to co-op living—working together for a stronger community.

May -- Maia's month

Maia is the Oscan Earth-Goddess, and an ancient Roman Goddess of springtime, warmth, and increase. She causes the

plants to grow through Her gentle heat, and the month of May is probably named for Her. Her name means "She Who is

Great", and is related to Oscan mais and Latin majus, both of which mean "more". She is also called Maia Maiestas, "Maia

the Majestic", which is essentially a doubling of Her name to indicate Her power, as both "Maia" and "Maiestas" have their

roots in latin magnus, "great or powerful". She was honored by the Romans on the 1st and 15th of May, and at the Volcana-

lia of August 23rd, the holiday of Her sometimes husband, the Fire-God Vulcan. Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic

goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan.

Volume 25 Issue 3 May 2015

Juno (Latin: Iūno [ˈjuːno]) is an ancient Roman goddess, the protector and special counselor of the

state. She is a daughter of Saturn and sister (but also the wife) of the chief god Jupiter and the

mother of Mars and Vulcan. Juno also looked after the women of Rome.[1] Her Greek equivalent

was Hera.[2] Her Etruscan counterpart was Uni. As the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman

Empire, Juno was called Regina ("Queen") and, together with Jupiter and Minerva, was wor-

shipped as a triad on the Capitol (Juno Capitolina) in Rome.
