April 2018

SPRINGTIME GREETINGS Spring has arrived and painted Arizona with colorful wildflowers. It’s springtime

year round at our community where residents enjoy a relaxed, comfortable lifestyle and where services and amenities are always in full bloom. We appreciate all of our residents. You are one of the many reasons our community is such a wonderful place to live!

Î CHANGE OF SCENERY The spring season brings a colorful change to nature’s scenery. You may have

some good friends, family members, or co-workers looking for a change, too. Let us show them the advantages of living at our community. When they sign a lease and move in, we’ll get a great new resident, and you’ll have a wonderful new neighbor.

TAX TIME • TUESDAY, APRIL 17 This year’s deadline to file federal and state income tax returns is two days later

than usual. April 15, the standard due date, falls on a Sunday, and Washington D.C. observes Emancipation Day on Monday, April 16. Therefore, Tax Day is pushed to the 17th. There are many accessible tools, professionals, and online e-filing systems available to help you file on time. Visit www.IRS.gov and www.AZDOR.gov for details about your specific filing requirements.

1 pkg. (18.25 oz.) yellow cake mix 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla instant pudding mix 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) butterscotch instant pudding mix 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup water 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9”x13” baking pan or 10” bundt pan.

In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix and both pudding mixes. Add the eggs, water, and oil. Mix until well blended. In a separate bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts.

Pour half of the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with half the nut mixture. Layer with the rest of the batter, then sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture.

Bake 25 minutes at 350°; then turn the oven down to 325° and bake an additional 35–40 minutes.
