FELLOWSHIP GROUP KICK-OFF: There

will be a meeting on Sun., June 12 at 4:30 p.m. in

Room 5 for everyone who signed up to be in a

summer fellowship group. Be sure to come and

meet the others in your group and plan your first

get-together.

EVENING WORSHIP: Join us for Sun.

evening worship services this summer at 6:00 in

Bixler Chapel. Rev. Ray Penney is preaching in

June with Rev. Roy Ames as the song leader.

CALLING ALL FORMER CHOIR

MEMBERS:

Sun., June 26 will be my last Sun. as Minister of

Music for the Village Church. It is a position I have

been privileged to assume for nearly 43 years. My

passion has always been to prepare the people

through music to hear the Word of the Lord that the

pastor has chosen to preach from in that morning‟s

5

5

worship. The chancel choir has been the major

vehicle for accomplishing this goal.

Several choir members have suggested that it

would be a good Sun. to ask former choir members

to combine with the present choir in the morning

worship hour to sing the selected anthem. I thought

“what a great idea!” I have tried to locate each of

you to participate in this endeavor. I will select an

anthem that we have rendered every year so that

you will not be expected to attend rehearsals to

achieve this goal. Right now, it seems that every

year we sang “The Hallelujah Chorus” at the

conclusion of the Christmas Cantata so that with the

music in hand, you would be able to sing with us.

Do not worry if you feel you don't have the

voice that you once had to sing in choir. Remember,

the present choir will be assisting us. Can‟t stand

long enough for an anthem? We‟ll have chairs

available at the front. In other words, there just

aren‟t any excuses for not participating. (Unless, of

course, you aren‟t in Dowling Park that Sun.)

You will not have to sit on the platform (or for

that matter even come up to the platform). I would,

however, ask you to come forward to stand (or sit)

at the front and the choir will walk out to the front

to join you. I hope you will consider being a part of

this endeavor if you are able.

If this is something you would be willing to do,

please call the church office and we‟ll add your

name to our list.

I would be so grateful if you were able to

participate. It would also send a clear message of

how important the chancel choir ministry is to

worship and how many of you have served over the

years to make this choir a most amazing body of

ministry partners.

Each of you is remembered fondly as we have

been a choir family here at ACV.

MEMBER SERVICES Ann Thompson, VP, 658-5400

I guess we are all seeing lots of political campaign

signs going up along the roadways. The next

election that will be held is the Primary Election on

Aug. 30. ACV hosts a precinct voting site both the

day of the election and during early voting.

Here are a few things you need to know:

You must be registered to vote in Suwannee County

by Aug. 1 to vote in the Primary. There will be a

representative from the Suwannee County

Supervisor of Elections at ACV to assist with

registration; watch for the date to be announced.

Once qualifying for candidates in the primary ends,

the candidates will be invited to participate in

candidate forums at ACV; watch for the date to be

announced. Campaign signs are not to be posted on

ACV property. Candidates are not to come door-to-

door to campaign on ACV property.

Member Services Tip of the Week

All homes, mobile homes, and apartments are to

have a key on file at the IC in case of an emergency.

If you change your door locks for any reason, it is

the responsibility of the Member to provide

immediately a copy of the new key to the IC for

your safety should an emergency arise.

New TV guides are available at the IC, Village

Properties, CCC, and at the lobby desks in DH and

CH.

Just a reminder that Flag Day is observed on Tue.,

June 14, the anniversary of the day in 1777 when

the Stars and Stripes was adopted as the official flag

of the U.S. If possible, fly the flag and take time to

feel the pride for all that our flag represents. The

sight of the Stars and Stripes being displayed at

various events and places still, to this day, sends

shivers up and down my spine. How about you?

I have just completed my 10th

year as the

Coordinator of Volunteers and want you all to know

how thoroughly I have enjoyed my interaction with

everyone. Not only have I met wonderful people

and assisted them in finding their way to use their

talents and interests in volunteer service, but I have

also reaped the rewards when volunteers are excited

about giving back to the Village and when

schedules were met. Thank you sincerely for your

patience and cooperation, dedication and

excitement.

An important part as coordinator is to tally the

volunteer hours monthly to be used in a special

report, which is why I stress that in my column so

6

6

frequently. In March, 48% of our volunteers

reported approximately 3,669 hours; in April, 46%

of our volunteers reported approximately 3,775

volunteer hours. There is currently a new program

in place that provides a better way to track the hours

than before. I am looking forward to receiving

those blue Monthly Volunteer Hours Reports more

than ever.

The deadline for the May reports is Fri, June

10. Please mail them to P.O. Box 4304, or drop

them off in the IC.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Janet Campbell

and her family due to the sudden death of her

husband, Lew, last Wed. evening, June 1.

“Just think, you're not here by chance, but by

God's choosing. His hand formed you and made

you the person you are. He compares you to no one

else - you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that

His grace can't give you. He has allowed you to be

here at this time in history to fulfill His special

purpose for this generation.” Roy Lessin

you both have great birthdays. We wish you many,

many more.

If you have an item for the FNN, you may place

it in the box at the CH front desk, or you can call

My SHOUT OUT this week is to Lee Dean! Lee

frequents DM on a regular basis for a variety of

reasons. She volunteers at the Rustic Shop and

brings us all-occasion cards for the residents once a

week to browse through and shop at their leisure.

While she is here, she visits many residents. She

has also helped serve meals for special occasions.

She truly brings smiles and comfort to many. If

someone is down, she prays with them and shows

great support. We appreciate your special ministry

to us, Lee! Thank you so much!

Crystal Delcastillo, Assistant Manager/Activity

Coordinator, led our monthly Resident Meeting last

week, going over the many activities and events of

June. She also shared the beautification and

enhancement project of the area outside the 1100

hall which faces GSC. We are so anxious to see the

landscaping and fencing of this area to beautify the

view from their windows! Our “Resident of the

Month” is Virginia Kilgo! We will share her story

with you soon!

This past Sat., the weekend staff enjoyed a

bowling activity with the residents. The ladies did

so well at bowling that the men had to cheat to

catch up, by hitting the table to knock the pins over

(Vic Grondzki?). Charlie Rinek even used his

shoe to knock them over! Marion McKee rolled

the bowling ball down the table and staff member,

Karis Rewis, accidently hit the table, so Marion got

a strike! Everyone laughed hysterically. They also

enjoyed cookies and punch while having so much

fun together, including Mary Henning, Laura

Lanier, Delia Chellis, Peggy Howland, Mary

Overhulser, Martha Hamilton, Linda Hughes,

Virginia Kilgo, Ethel McCormick, Norma

McKee, JoAnn Miller, Jean Reach, and Barney

Stoffel. A big thanks to Deb Jenkins (Jean Reach‟s

daughter) and the entire weekend staff for helping.

It was great to have so many participate! During

the Men‟s Coffee Hour, they enjoyed fellowship

over Wildy Pecan Danish and coffee. During their

conversations, they figured out their ages totaled

915 years (10 men). So…if you want to break the

1000 year mark, we need a few more men to join us

on Tue., June 21, at 10:00 a.m.!

We want to wish happy anniversary to staff

member, Becky Baker and her husband, Curtis, on

June 8 and happy birthday to Lilya Patterson on

June 10.

Next week we will be celebrating National

Assistant Week, so we will be recognizing our

CNAs and Resident Aides. Our Appreciation Party

for them will be Thur., June 16.

Once again, I want to thank all of you for your

many visits! It means the world to us!

Our Village Memorial Day celebration continued

through last week. We witnessed a musical

celebration presented by the Gainesville Pops at the

VC on Sat. It was a fitting presentation of stirring

patriotic music to honor our American military

heroes.

Louis and Betty Driggers recently celebrated

Louis‟ 69th

high school graduation anniversary in

Palmetto, FL. They plan to attend the 70th

next year.

Then, they say, that will be that. While there they

also visited relatives.

I‟m back! Whenever I think about writing this

column, I should just stop and do it. Last week I

didn‟t do that and, of course, the results - forgetful

Joyce and no column. Of course it was a good test

to see how many people read the column since

several of you noticed there was no news from ET.

My apologies to those whose birthdays I missed.

Happy belated birthday to Donna Allen (June 5),

Susan Goodwin (June 6), and Frank Hurst (June

6).

I hope most of you were able to attend the

Gainesville POPS concert on Sat. It was an

outstanding performance which again reminds us of

how blessed we are to be able to experience such

professional events. Thank you, Dick Grillo, for all

you do to bring these events to us.

Jim and Beverly Bell were happy to have

family visit them last week: daughter, Alyson from

NC, and son, Craig from Washington, DC, from the

Fri. before Memorial Day until Mon. Son, Duncan

from Callahan, was able to join them later in the

weekend. Beverly calls Craig her world traveler. It

seems our government needs his services all over

the world. He was in Nigeria on Mother‟s Day.

Remember Thur., June 9, is the second Thur.

and our gathering for breakfast at the Village Café

from around 9:00 a.m. until …

Frank Sinclair has a birthday this week on

June 11 and Lou and Joyce Berra celebrate their

anniversary on June 10. Congratulations on another

milestone for all of you.

GOOD SAMARITAN CENTER Do you have 30 minutes a week to spend with a

nursing home resident? We are looking for folks

who can spend some time outdoors and offer

conversation/companionship. Also looking for

someone to take short walks (as able) with a

resident who needs supervision, but enjoys walking.

If you are able to give just thirty minutes (or more

time if available) a week, these residents would be

truly blessed. Please call 658-5568 for more

information.

The month of May came and went before I

could get a thank you in here for all who helped us

with our Nursing Home Week Activities.

The Sat. before Mother‟s Day, the Children‟s

Choir from the First Baptist Church of Dowling

Park presented a wonderful program entitled “GPS -

God‟s Plan for Salvation.” We hope they visit us

again soon.

Every woman was given a corsage for Mother‟s

Day to show our appreciation. Austin Warriner

came as he does every Sun. afternoon to play piano

for the residents. Thank you, Austin.

We started off NHW with an Old Fashioned

Hoedown in the Camellia dining room. Dan Ligotti

and Elaine Brennan were here to partner up with

some residents to enjoy some circle dances. We

enjoyed root beer floats.

The next day Pastor Jim Gilroy held our

attention with a bit of magic out front. May White

brought Sunny over to spread some cheer to

everyone. We always enjoy our furry friends. My

vision of a petting zoo turned into a dog or two, one

huge rabbit, a hedgehog (really cool) and some

really cooperative chickens. All who wanted had a

chance to visit and pet the animals. We had carnival

games outside, food, food, and more food. We even

had a Coney Island lunch with hot dogs with all the

NY fixins, soft pretzels, and homemade Italian Ices.

Jan Gurniak helped escort and spent time with

many residents. They truly appreciated the

company. We look forward to Jan becoming a

regular volunteer. Dick Grillo wrapped it up for us

with a great sing-a-long and again we had FOOD.

Thank you to the kitchen staff for making it happen

and to all the staff who helped.

The next week brought the Village Drama Club

to perform for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the skits.

Laughter is truly the best medicine. Thank you.

I can‟t leave off our newest visitor, Matilda the

baby fawn. Thank you to Lindsey Lewis for

bringing her in and letting us enjoy her. What a

treat. Look for pictures coming soon.

We are having a GSC Volunteer Appreciation

Party on Tue., June 14 at 3:00 p.m. It will be a red-

white-blue party. Please come and join us.

PARK OF THE PINES We missed the deadline for this news from Kathy

Bochow last week, so here are the latest activities

from the younger crowd in the POP.

“What a wild 4-day weekend at the Stephen

Foster Folk Festival. The race was on for camp

sites, as the campground turned into a packed

tent/RV city of volunteers and performers like me.

The entertainment was awesome! I got 4th

place in

the contemporary division fiddle championship,

with the FL State Fiddlers Assoc. (They liked my

comedy.) I swam in the Suwannee River, biked to

entertainment, and participated in jams and the song

writers workshop. Also, I Contra danced, two-

stepped, and waltzed before the evening headliners

who were Arlo Guthrie and Jimmy Dean. At 11:00

p.m., all of us old hippies wandered off to play

music through campsites until people collapsed into

bed. Then we went back to ours to play more music

for ourselves, then in bed by 4:00 a.m. for a

8

8

few hours. Sixties music came back easily. I played

plenty of new tunes. Great to be back in Dowling

Park however. Home sweet home, my life and

friends.”

On the back porch, the red fox has a friend,

supposedly, which is of the same species, but called

a grey fox. Are these foxes male, the grey ones, or

are there either sex,, or what? We‟ve not seen them

in the area at the same time, mainly eating our cat

food, so it is a mystery. I guess I‟ll have to Google

that one.

The northern-bred folks are temporarily

migrating to the north again. Happens every year

when they start to perspire and yet have done

nothing to initiate it. That‟s retirement for you. I

hear some retirees actually do have “jobs” after

their life-time employment comes to an end, but the

pay is all handshakes, a pat on the back, and maybe

a “That was a fine job you did picking up those

sticks!” Well, the Lord knows you are doing all you

can and smiles with love and expectations of seeing

you in His ultra clean environment one day.

Here is an update from some strangers in the

POP that brightens my day. Bob and Brenda Story

just returned from another driving trip to NY and

CT. Bob shared in officiating a wedding, plus

played organ and piano for same. They balanced

their time between Mt. Vernon, NY and Norwalk,

CT getting time in with the grandkids. It is good to

be home, and put the suitcases away!

We‟re still waiting for that call asking, “Has the

reporter‟s job for POP been taken yet? I‟d really

like to do that.” Well, what‟s keeping you?

RIVERVIEW APARTMENTS Jean Templeton, Reporter

The Gainesville Pops Patriotic Concert was

discussed and we were sure it would be well worth

attending. (And it was a wonderful way to honor

our veterans from all wars.)

An article and pictures about a high school

student in IN and his art class project was very

interesting. His project was our American Flag,

which almost filled the back of his pick-up truck.

After painting the “Stars and Stripes” on a piece of

wood, he and two friends painted 4,466 toy soldiers

red, white or blue. (The weather was well below

freezing at the time.) These were then glued onto

the wooden base and transported to school. Jacob

estimated the project had taken over 52 hours and

he was pleased with the final result. I‟m sure he got

an excellent mark for his effort. (I will put pictures

of this near the RV mailboxes.) This was truly a

work of art and a labor of love.

On behalf of the family of Art Keeler, Jr, I‟d like to

thank everyone for their love and support. Thank

you for the beautiful words everyone has spoken of

my dad. He was a great man and he loved and

respected each and every one of you. Thank you,

Jason Hilliard, for putting together a beautiful

service and for being such a great and dear friend to

Dad. Thank you as well to Dick Grillo and John

Harper for singing at the memorial. Thank you to all

who sent cards. It was a big comfort to my family to

read such kind words. Thank you for your

continued prayers as we go through this difficult

time. Rebecca and the Keeler Family
