“FOR THE RESIDENTS, BY THE RESIDENTS”
Happy Mothers Day May 2015
To All Moms
A mother’s love is like a garden
Her children are the seeds
And as they grow, she tends to them,
Fulfilling all their needs.
Her kindness is like sunshine
That warms them as they flower.
Her nurturing like springtime rain
A soft and gentle flower.
A mother’s love is like a garden
Reflecting tender care,
For wherever there is beauty,
A mother’s love is there.
In Loving Memory, this Memorial Day
We set aside Memorial Day
Each and every year
To honor those who gave their lives
Defending what we hold dear.
In all the dark and deadly wars,
Their graves prove and remind us,
Our brave Americans gave their all
To put danger far behind us.
They made the ultimate sacrifice
Fighting for the American way;
We admire them and respect them
On every Memorial Day.
PLEASE DISPLAY YOUR FLAG ON THIS DAY TO
SHOW HOW PROUD WE ARE!!!!!!!!!

______________________________________________________________________________
From Dot Cady Thank you all for a great turnout on the
Appreciation Day held in my honor. This was truly an amazing day and one I will not forget.
from Tom’s desk.
It seems just like yesterday that we were getting ready for the last
newsletter. I guess time flies when you are having fun. We were sure
busy in March and things will slow down some for the summer. The
activity committee will make sure that we will have many things to do.
They have a lot of good ideas, so watch the Bulletin board and the
newsletter.
We had our last monthly Saturday morning breakfast at the clubhouse
until Fall. Thank you Tom Robinson and all the crew and to all who
came and enjoyed the delicious food. Thanks to Joe and Janet
Lehman for all the good food on Wednesday’s. They sweat in the heat
and we do not have to cook. We had a great Easter Dinner and thanks
to all who came and for the good food. Many thanks to Jim & Carolyn
McAdams for a great “Out & About”. Yours truly got a little
misplaced..(smile).
Just remember one thing, the officers and directors are here to listen
and to help. Remember, we are a social organization. We will still
remain a community with neighbors helping neighbors. Southfork has
it’s own heart beat and we all must keep the heart beat healthy and
active.
Please keep a look out for any suspicious people and activity this
summer. “Please”, watch your speed in the park. Remember, cars and
golf carts don’t mix.
Let’s all have a great summer, “Tom”
Dot Cady’s Appreciation Day
Dot Cady, outgoing president receiving a plaque for many years of service from Tom Geyer, new
incoming president.
A great attendance for Dot Cady’s appreciation day and over 100 residents came to wish her good luck
and a great big thank you.
Women’s Club
On April 1st , 35 Ladies had their monthly meeting in the Clubhouse and very well
decorated for Easter. In the Center of each table there was a basket with eggs and
bunnies all hand made by the ladies of the quilt committee what a group of talented
ladies.
Jane Martens, Dee Martin and Shirley Tiratto were our hostesses. Thanks for a job
well done and well decorated.
All the reports were read and approved.
Mary Bolin mentioned that all the little dresses a project of Carol Albers were given
locally and much appreciated. That was a very nice project.
Marge Otto did all the particulars to order a brick through Hospice for Shirley Rouer
who was in charge of the Charity Committee before Mary Bolin. The brick will be
displayed near the other bricks of Southfork members.
We talked about our annual Bazaar that will be held Nov 21st. A list was
circulated asking the members to make baskets which is very popular and we will
have a bake Sale, a raffle of items made by the Craft Committee, also we will have
Sloppy Jo’s in the morning starting at 10.30.
We had a delicious cake to celebrate the April's birthdays Mary Clifford and
Kathy Myers. Thanks to Tanya for the 4 bags she gave us to be raffled.
Jeanne Bittman gave a very nice presentation on how to make your house safer for
the elderly and tips on elder care. She also is available for small jobs if her schedule
is free.
Next month our last meeting of the season at the clubhouse, our hostesses will be
Sherry Glatfelter and Helen Stowe
See you there. Marielle
Happy Summer Vacation and Hurry BACK!
"IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER"
My mother was very young when she married and started a family,
she was kept very busy raising my sister, brother and me and taking
care of a 2 story home and beautiful flowers and kept up yard..
She and my father raised a huge garden planting corn and peas in a
row, then came tomatoes and cucumbers lots of veggies to hoe.
My mother sewed and made our clothes, canned veggies and made her
own soap, she washed on a washboard then graduated to a wringer
washer. Mother never complained as she hung her special wash on a
clothesline in the yard, (whites, colors, jeans, towels and sheets & the
misc items) and she cooked us delicious meals never saying she was
just too tired.
Her pies and cakes all were from scratch the chocolate icing was so
good and the homemade bread and pizza was to die for. I have tried to
do all she did but so far it seems I never could.
The dried apples and preserves, sugar cookies and snow-cream,
Saturday evenings after sleigh riding we were treated to hot chocolate
not like todays, all these were winter treats to sample again, would
be in a dream.
Mother has been gone for many years I miss our time together every
day, our one on one chats is so missed. If only she could visit again
but she has gone to heaven to stay and helping me in my thoughts
today.

Cleaning out your Freezer and Refrigerator And Cupboards
All you "Snowbirds" and others cleaning out your cupboards, freezer
and refrigerator. Mary Bolin reminded everyone that "DayStar" in Dade
City will take all items whether they were opened or not and they give
out food to the needy. They have large freezers and refrigerators and
can use all the food that can be donated. Besides Mary, you can also
contact Isabel Wirth here in the community because she is in charge
of that at Daystar. Don't throw anything away because it all can be
used.
Thanks to all in advance!

can really play the guitar.

We will offer generous portion of ice cream with all the
favorite toppings for $3.00. We invite all residents of SF,

Come up to the clubhouse and enjoy an ice cream sundae on this

For all the adventurous people we will have WII Bowling set up for
everyone to challenge their bowling skills.
Pizza and Pool Party

Cost is $3.00 per person for pizza
To kick-off the upcoming Summer Season, we invite everyone to the Pool party.
Come up to the pool and socialize. You do not have to go in the pool to enjoy
the atmosphere.
We would like to see our new residents come up and join in our activities. You
are welcome to bring any other snacks you would like to bring along.
Please, sign up at the clubhouse so we may know how much pizza to order.
Please note that the pool will still be available for regular use by our residents
and the $3.00 charge is only for pizza. There will be enough pizza to satisfy
everyone’s hungry tummies.
Please bring your beverage of choice, but make sure it is in a plastic container
because we do not allow any glass around the pool area. Come and join us!!
Looking for a Reporter
I go into newsletters of various communities and most all of them
have a profile page to introduce residents to other residents,
especially the newcomers.
I have thought about this for a while and now I need some help. I am
looking for an on- site reporter who can take a picture of the resident,
whether they are new or someone who has lived in the park for a while
and write up an article on them. This could be a monthly feature
and something I think would add to the newsletter.
Hmmmm, maybe someone on the welcoming committee could be this
person I am looking for!!!!!
This would help everyone to know who everyone else is if they see
them walking or at the clubhouse for any games or activities. What
does everyone think about this? Please contact me
(pkaygrossi@aim.com) if interested and let me know your thoughts.
Kathy G, I still need your input and any others with articles.
I appreciate that Pete Logoyda takes the pictures of the various
events and submits them via facebook for all to see and then I capture
them to place in the newsletter. Thanks to all!

THE BLIND SIDE starring Sandra Bullock
This real-life story of Michael Oher (Baltimore Ravens
football star) is a remarkable journey of a young
homeless teen who finds a family and becomes the college
All American and first-round NFL draft pick. The well-
to-do family, the Tuohys, find something just as life
changing: a beloved new son and brother. You’ll be
cheering this mix of gridiron action and heartwarming
emotion.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT 511??????
This is for anyone ready to make a trip or to some of the “snowbirds” getting
ready to travel back North.
Dial 511 from your phone before hitting the road. The service provides real-time
travel information on all interstate highways in Florida, as well as Florida’s
turnpike. 511 lets you know about accidents, road construction, severe weather
conditions or other things that can slow you down. The traffic information is free
on your home phone.
When storms threaten Florida, a call to 511 will let you know before you leave so
you can plan ahead. 511 gives information about road conditions, congestion,
contraflow, suspended tolls and any road closings.
This is statewide information that can be accessed and it may ask which part of
the state do you want to know about. This is all real time reporting.
You can also access this information on the internet by going into:
www.Fl511.com to receive statewide and regional updates. The website
provides much of the same information as the phone call, plus additional
features, including traffic camera’s.
So before leaving on your trip, check out the site before leaving home or while
traveling throughout the state. It’s fast, easy and just a few clicks away.
