RICHERT & HEUAY CLEAN OUT CASSELL’S WALLET IN
STUNNING BOWLING

Click on image for larger version in a new window.

Roger Richert (left) and Bob Heuay (right) were able to cash in on recreation director Stu Cassell’s offer to “buy anyone lunch who bowls 3 strikes in a row.” He thought he was safe tossing out such a challenge, but in fact several of the ladies who went bowling on October 9th could have just as easily won lunch having bowled doubles and just missing the 3rd strikes. After enjoying 3 spirited games at Cave Springs Lanes, the group had a delicious lunch at Viste Grande. For Roger and Bob it was even more delicious having Stu pick up the tab.

Coincidentally, both Roger and Bob told Stu that they each had been pin setters back in the days when it was done by hand. The group had a great time and another bowling/lunch trip is scheduled for November 13th. Lunch will follow bowling and this time they’ll be going to Joe’s Crab Shack. Even if you don’t bowl you’re welcome to come watch and join the bowlers for lunch out afterwards.

• WANTED - ONE GALLON MILK JUGS
  To help our subdivision celebrate the holidays, the decorating committee is asking for your help in collecting one gallon milk jugs. These jugs will be used for 10-hour luminaries during the Holiday Season and placed in key areas of our subdivision (entrance, bridge, etc.). They will be lit at 6 p.m. December 24, 2003.

The committee is inviting each interested homeowner to participate in this festive event on December 24, 2003 by putting four luminaries near the street in front of their home. (Luminary: one gallon milk jug with top cut out, sand in the bottom with a 10-hour votive candle.) Sample luminary is at the clubhouse.

If you are going to be out of town but would like to take part, we will light your luminaries for you. Even though you’re away, you’ll be in our thoughts!

A luminary workshop is planned. The date will be announced soon. Sooo, if you have or can get these jugs, please save them for us.

If you have any questions or suggestions, call Shirley Barnes 561-4195 or Pat Roberts at
561-5520. 

The Pro-Shop Grill and Golf Course are now open from
8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - Tuesday - Sunday
Closed on Mondays.

Leah Kinsey, Jerry Klinke & Bob Clark are there to serve you.
For Tee-Times call: 625-3836

More Notes from the Bunker
Click on image for larger version in a new window.

Carts - Reminder
Check batteries for water and refill if needed.  Also keep batteries well charged.  Batteries with low charge may freeze in cold weather.  Number Nine - Springs were located under and near the pump house and retaining wall.  They¹ve been drained  to the course and future drainage will take the water to the lake.     

Number Eight
More drainage improvements were made to number eight at the water fall and near the tennis courts.  The water there has been drained to the lake and that will help the situation,  but there is more work to do.  Hopefully, Derek and I can get the work finished this Fall and Winter.   

Ball Marks and Greens Damage
Thanks for your help!  With your help and cooler temperatures the ball marks on the greens have been greatly reduced.  Occasionally, especially this time of year, a few of the greens may suffer some damage due to deer running across  a green. We repair this as best we can when it occurs, but you may notice some tracks.

Karaoke Night

Right: Doris Joyce and her sister Barbara Hunt perform a lovely duet. Steph and Doris, along with Mary Austin, Pat Roberts, and Gary McCullough won free lunches by being the first to sing 2 songs each.

 

Bingo

We filled the card room on Sunday Oct. 19th when we held our first Bingo.
We ran 10 games, and the prizes in the 10 games ranged from $20 to $83.

Little Mermaids

Despite cool temperatures, our Heritage beauties seen above performed a water ballet in the pool on Sept. 27th. The ladies had rehearsed for weeks, under the direction of Pat Turner (far left side), who was a synchronized swimmer in college. Their hard work paid off - everyone enjoyed the show and appreciated their “trouper spirit” in performing in chilly weather
 

Defibrillator Fundraiser

Every year in the US, sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of more than 250,000 people and hundreds of thousands more worldwide. Today, fewer than 5% of SCA victims survive, largely because defibrillators do not reach them in time. In most cases, their key to survival is prompt defibrillation therapy. More than 90% of SCA victims survive when defibrillation occurs within two minutes of sudden cardiac arrest onset. But when defibrillation therapy is delayed more than ten minutes, the victim’s chance of survival drops to less than 5 percent. The latest portable defibrillators are remarkably simple to use. They automatically detect what treatment is appropriate for the victim, and give rescuers audible instructions for administering treatment. The price ranges from $1500 to $2000. We are going to be selling 50/50 raffle tickets at events to raise money to purchase a defibrillator for the clubhouse and will post the running amount collected.

Early Christmas Present

Last year our residents received poinsetta plants as a holiday gift. This year a more lasting present was purchased - a new electric piano for the clubhouse. There are plans in the making for forming an HHR chorus. See Jeanne Brown or Stu Cassell if you’d like to sing just for fun.

 

Nancy Withey Retires (again)

Stu Cassell held a “retirement party” for assistant/resident Nancy Withey in October shortly before she gave up her clubhouse position to afford her more time for family pursuits. Here she is seen with an “Employee of the Month” plaque that Stu gave her as a going away present. .

Cooking at Heritage

The great chefs at Heritage (witness the gourmet dishes offered at our pot luck dinners) have decided to put together a neighborhood cookbook. If you will send your famous recipe to me (Jeanette Hage) or drop it in my mail box, , I will organize it and see if Stu can put one recipe a month in the newsletter. Make your recipe fit on 4x6. When you take a new recipe each month from the newsletter you can punch holes in it and make up a 5x7 loose-leaf binder of great cooking. Here is the 1st contribution:

Betty McGavran’s
CREAMED CORN

October 12, 2003

1 16 oz. package frozen corn (shoe peg)
1 large package cream cheese
1 stick oleo
1/4 cup milk
