I’m OK

Here at RCE we want to make sure you are A-OK!

The “I’m Okay Club” is a program for guests and

residents who are living alone.

Once you sign up with the Activity Office, you

must call in daily before 10:00 am. This is just a

daily check-in by phone that allows us to make

sure you are OK. If you don’t call in by 10:00 am,

we will try and reach you. If we are unsuccessful,

we will come to your house and check on you.

Please stop by the Activity Office to sign up. We

look forward to seeing you.

Speed Limit

Keep us speed bump free! Please

observe the 10-mph speed limit

inside the park.

AED Device & 911 Phone

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

device and 911 Emergency phone are located in

the Breezeway near the office.

Safety from Wildlife

The weather is cooling and this is a time when

rattlesnakes might seek the warmth of a cozy

asphalt street after sundown. Although the

perimeter of RCE is fenced to keep animals out,

we do occasionally receive an “uninvited guest.”

For maximum safety, carry a flashlight if you are

walking after dark, keep pets on a leash, and re-

main alert to an unlikely, but

possible encounter.

Safety First!

A Word from George

From our family to yours, we hope your Christ-

mas and New Years were filled with family,

food, and fond memories. It's been a busy sea-

son here at Rincon Country RV Resort, and it's

only started. I just want to take a moment to

thank you all for making Rincon Country RV

Resort what it is today. While we are always

hard at work, we know without a doubt that

we do this work for you! Year after year, it

warms our hearts to know that we are able to

provide a community filled with so many fun,

talented, and fascinating people. You are the

lifeblood of the park, and the reason we enjoy

coming to work everyday. Whether its one of

our many volunteers, our park ambassadors,

or one of the many people that just make eve-

ryone else feel welcomed, we truly appreciate

all you do. We know without a doubt the park

could not function the same without your sup-

port. Because of all of this, we will promise to

continue to make this the best community it

can be, and continue striving for standards of

excellence that makes our community stand

apart from the rest.

Thank you,

George O’Leary

I’m back!!! I would like to thank everyone for the get-well cards, flowers, sweet words and tons of patience. I would also like to thank my wonderful volunteers who have been doing double time all month! I would also like to thank Joyce for holding it all together in my absence. We couldn’t have done it without them! Thank you!

I’m tired of recovering. I want to dance. We have started off the with New Year with Triplicity, dancing and shaking our cans! We get to kick off our shoes again in two weeks welcoming back the Retro Rock-ets. We all know how much fun it is to dance to their music making.

Rumor has it we have only three dances this year. Boy, that’s awful. What was I thinking? Oh, wait a sec-ond – I was thinking, quite clearly. First of all, we danced on Halloween and then we had the Happy Hour in November, followed by Triplicity in December, but we are just getting started. We are excited about the return of the Retro Rockets followed by the Cochise County AllStars, again leading us in another Hap-py Hour this month. In February, we get rocked by the band on the 15th for the Annual Appreciation Pic-nic and I have a great band coming for Mardi Gras - I’m really looking forward to this group - Rhonda-Vous. They have a classic sound and the lead singers voice is dynamic. St. Patrick’s day will be celebrated with the Sixties Garage Band and more. I left out a few but you’ll just have to wait and see. We will be rocking! I guarantee it!

So get your dancing boots on, don that cowboy hat and shake that thang right into the Activity Office to buy your tickets now!

old western movie scenes. But what many folks

don't realize is that Tombstone is a living town

with real inhabitants who have lived here

throughout its history and still do today. That is

part of the reason Tombstone has been called

The Town Too Tough to Die.

Walk the very same streets here in Tombstone

that Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Johnny Ringo,

Ike Clanton and a host of other Western Leg-

ends walked over 130 years ago. You can just

feel the history here! This is the most authentic

Western Town left in the United States!

Flirt with lady luck and rock ‘n roll at the Tropicana Laughlin for winter break 2017: The Next Generation offering non-stop fun and excitement!

At a recent entertainment expo, I had the opportunity to see some amazing talent. The one that stood out as the best of the best was a group called December 63, a tribute to the original Jersey Boys. Some of you may remember Teen Idol, the biggest and most remarked upon event of 2015-2016 at Rincon. This is the same management company. They produce the top quality performances.

When you go to Laughlin, you get to see not one, but two of these shows included in the price.. This year’s Laughlin trip includes December 63 and one of my favorite tributes, ABBA! You cannot miss this trip. Unfortunately, I will not be there, but I think you will survive and I think you will have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE! On top of these fabulous concerts, you can do the disco line dance and/or swing dance les-sons, attend an educational seminar, go to a singles mingle, get fit in a Fun & Fitness class or a guided fitness walk and see other live shows. That’s all included! If you want some more fun at additional ex-pense, feel free to sign up with Spirit for kayaking, golf, horse-back riding or a day tour to historic Oat-man, AZ. And to answer the question everyone is asking, “Yes! They pick us up at the Rincon gate.” We just need 30 people to go and can only take 50, so sign up now before you lose your seat!

Brown Bag Forum

We pretty much like each other at RCE, and it's

fair to say that every person staying in the Park

has had a life with experiences that would be

considered interesting, amusing, and in some

way instructive by everyone else. The Brown

Bag Forum simply capitalizes on that fact. The

Brown Bag Forum is an informal come-as-you-

are event held every other Tuesday from noon

to 1:00 pm in the Rec. Hall, featuring the inter-

ests and experiences of Park resi-

dents. Everyone is invited to bring lunch to en-

joy while listening to the speaker(s), and to ask

pertinent questions.

This January we begin our third season. The first

speaker of this season will be John Board, who

will talk, at noon on Tues., Jan. 3, about a very

important and controversial historical figure,

"Jeannette Rankin, the First Woman in Con-

gress." Rankin was a very high-principled and

remarkable woman, and this talk should be both

interesting and provocative!

The second speaker of the season will be M. Jo

Foulston, a very accomplished artist, who will

discuss "Gardens, Stones, and Wildlife: My Life-

long Obsession with Nature." Her talk will be on

Tuesday, Jan. 17, also at noon, and she will prob-

ably bring along as illustrations some of her very

remarkable art works.

The third speaker will be Fred McCormick, who

will discuss "My Work as an Educator in Wiscon-

sin" on Tuesday, January 31, at noon. Fred would

like to give his talk in the Auditorium, so look

there first to see if the place is set up for a talk; if

not, the talk will be in the Rec. Hall, like the oth-

ers.

Bocce

Our regular season is about to begin on January

2nd with the teams being established. Please

pay your $5 dues to Chris Lawrence at lot 210.

Subs should pay dues also. Players and/or team

captains should arrange for their own subs. Sub

lists will be in mail room and bocce shed.

Just add your name to the sub list in the coffee/

mail room. Bocce is a fun sport enjoyed by all

ages and abilities. If you would like to learn the

game, contact Dennis Pionke Lot 127. It is also a

fun game to watch so come out and cheer on

the teams!

A fun time was had by all in the Bocce Fun

League the last month. We want to thank Rick &

Kris Pierce for heading that up.

We also had another successful spaghetti dinner

thanks to Dave Hartman and all the many volun-

teers as well as all who attended.

We would like to thank George and Sandra for

the new cement work and the new carpets at

the bocce courts.

have supplies (paddles and balls) to loan to players

if they don't have their own equipment. We spon-

sor Wednesday/Saturday coffees a couple times a

season and last year held a pancake supper. There

is no obligation to anyone to participate on any day

or in any event. There are no individual fees to

play. Want to try it? Come on down and see how

much fun we have! Come join us Monday,

Wednesday and Friday mornings 9:00 to 11:00

am for pick up games.

Photo Club

The Photo Club will meet on Wednesday, Jan.

ing activities and excursions. Vice President

Joyce Golibersuch will preside.

Rincon Country Gentlemen

Our men’s chorus here at Rincon Country is

called the Country Gentlemen and we have

been performing for over 30 years. We’re al-

ways looking to add new members; a great

singing voice isn’t needed, just the ability to

carry a tune. If one can read music, that is

helpful but not essential.

We are not barbershop; we do sing 4-part har-

mony, but with accompaniment. We will start

our practices January 9th, on Mondays from

12:15 to 2:00 pm in the Auditorium. You’ll find

it is easy to learn your part by listening to the

other singers. No audition is required, just

your interest.

We’ve scheduled about eight singing perfor-

mances from late January through mid March,

and have a farewell luncheon near the middle

of March.

Some of us have been singing with the group

for well over 20 years and we’d love to have

some of you other long-time resident and

guests males who sing join us. We also wel-

come newer residents to check us out.

For more information, encouragement and

comment please call one of us: George Koss

(520-885-3410), Jerry Newman (509-607-9103),

Bill Rutledge (207-660-5373), Dave Olson (218-

232-4113), or any other member you know.

You’ll enjoy the experience of singing with our

group. Try us!

Waist management

Finally our season begins and with that, it is time

to gather around the scale and see what the

summer has done for us or to us, LOL. Meet in

the card room at 3:00 pm for weighing and in-

formation gathering. This year, I have work out

diaries, meal planning, how to loose weight

while attending pot lucks etc. and much more,

to distribute. I hope that our group survived the

summer with progress. With our workout dia-

ries in tow, our walking times and how to main-

tain a healthy outlook will be easier to keep

up. Please mark this time and date on your cal-

endar and plan to come and be a part of a learn-

ing and sharing. As before, we will have speak-
