LINDA HALBROOK GETS A "BUTT RUB" AT THE BLUE JEAN CONCERT

The band Noteworthy performed at the clubhouse on Saturday, April 10th and distributed a story that lead singer Rita Fuhrman read that had fill in the blanks. You had to identify the songs they played and Linda Halbrook had one of the high scores and won a can of “Butt Rub” peanuts. Pat Goddard & Bob Heuay also won Butt Rub products.

THANK YOU!

Special thanks to Janet Cattau who provided the piano accompaniment  for the chorus at the St. Patrick’s Dance.

QUICK REMINDER

Exterior changes and additions must be approved in writing,
including Satellite Dishes. Please note: The proper placement of the Satellite Dish is on the roof in the back of the house where it’s not visible from the street. If you need an Architectural Control Committee (ARC) Application or have any questions ask Stu or John.

 THE BEAUTIFUL HAT SOCIETY

There is a new forming “Hat Society” for women. It’s about women of today mentoring women of tomorrow. If anyone is interested in attending this new adventure and would like to car pool on Monday, May 24th at 2 p.m. or 7 p.m., please give Shirley Barnes a call at 561-4195. A pink leaflet about The Beautiful Hat Society is included in the attachments with this news letter.

From Stu's Desk or Somewhere Near It

This month marks the start of the 3rd year since the Clubhouse opened. It seems fitting that during our anniversary month we have more things going on then you can “shake a stick at.” (why you would be trying to shake a stick at anything is beyond me - my grandmother had a whole assortment of weird sayings, many having to do with lumber, like “better than a sharp stick in the eye”.)

This month we’re having a Lobster Dinner, the Tim Ostermeyer Blue Jean Concert, the 3rd annual Mother’s Day Ice Cream Social, our 2nd annual Art Show, Casino Night, and the following out of Clubhouse activities; a bus trip to see City Players doing “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” (possibly inspired by the hit play “I Love You, Now Die!”), and the 3rd annual Memorial Day Golf Scramble. This month also signals the start of our Water Aerobics classes, and we have a record 20 residents signed up for it! A reminder, no skinny dipping before 7:00 pm.

We have the start up of a few other seasonal activities. The lovely and talented Pat Goddard has organized several tennis leagues, and the lovely and talented Ron Milewski is getting water volleyball off the ground (or I should say, in the water). Our DVD library is growing and many residents are enjoying the opportunity to borrow recent hit movies. We are closing in on the first hundred homes sold at HHR, with over 130 residents living here at the time of this publication and many more on the way. We now have enough people to do just about anything suggested, or close to it. Don Roberts wanted some hearts players and within two weeks of posting a notice and sign up sheet at the clubhouse almost a dozen people indicated they’d enjoy a weekly hearts session. 23 ladies signed up for the bus trip to Josephine’s.

What else is new? There was interest expressed in purchasing a basketball system and now we have one, with our first “challenge match” on the books. My Assistant John Pellerito issued a challenge to Mike Cook and Gayle Cattau for a game of 2 on 2 with himself and me. I love you John - You’re Fired! I don’t know when this match is going to take place, and quite frankly, I had my athletic supporter bronzed years ago, but I’m willing to give it a try. Lots of fun stuff, and John and I are really glad to be part of it. 

Good luck, your pal

Stu.

If you are interested in playing bridge, be sure to call either Andree Wayman at 625-2225 or Jeanette Hage at 625-0655. They are always looking for regulars to complete another table, and subs. Both men and women are welcome.

There were 42 intentional mistakes planted in the April Fool’s Issue of the Hawk Ridge Putterings, plus 2 bonus items, making a total possible score of 44. Both Nancy & Karen correctly identified 36 mistakes.
Each of the ladies have won $25 (see Stu at the office to collect).

We only counted right answers but didn’t subtract anything for wrong answers. The following residents who scored 30 or higher receive “Honorable Mentions” - Huguette Duff, Steph Hempel, Judy & Vince Koehr, Gary McCullough, Annie Pick, Ray & Judy Markham, and Jeanne Brown. The rest of the entries were in the mid to high 20’s. Thanks to every one who participated.

There were a few things in the newsletter that were not planted, and were not counted as April Fool’s mistakes.

1. We mentioned in a special bulletin that because of the Golden Games we’d be open on Tuesday April 27th, and the office would be closed on Wednesday April 28th.
2. At the time of publication the HHR Glee Club was scheduled to meet for a practice at 7:00 pm. A special 6:30 pm meeting time was arranged later.
3. I often manipulate pictures to fit the area available, and I intentionally stretched Georgy Rock’s photo to fit but it wasn’t intended to be an April Fool’s mistake.
4. The misplaced hyphen in Andre Wayman’s telephone number was due to a glitch in the software program and not put there on purpose.
5. At the St. Patrick’s Dance Ray Markham was walking across the dance floor after the Irish dancers performed and he suddenly did an imitation of one of their dances, that is why I said he did an “Irish Reel” and that was not intended as a planted mistake. In some cases when an entire paragraph was fabricated, such as the story about Stu quitting to join the circus, that whole thing was counted as 1 mistake.

	Make up your own caption. Bob Bell has a handful of money and he’s smiling at Steve Aubuchon, and there is an anonymous female hand in the picture. What do you think the caption should be? The best caption will be printed in the next newsletter.
	VIAGRA BUNCH GETS THE JOB DONE! Mike Cook & Gayle Cattau volunteered to put up the new basketball system, but in short order a “committee” was out on the tennis court helping. They said to call them the “Viagra Bunch”. Helping were Bob Heuay, Jerry Brown, Ray Withey, and Bob Bell. Our thanks to the guys for “getting it up!”
	It was cold back in December and Ron Milewski & Veta Cairns decided to treat some of the Whittaker construction crew to coffee & donuts.
	Assistant Director John Pellerito demonstrates how to use elliptical machine to Judy & Vince Koehr and Marie Guarigilia.
	Univited Guests A mother duck & 14 babies decided to try out the swimming pool on April 27th. We asked them to leave since they had no Pool Passes.
