GOLF CART PARADE

“PRESIDENTS REPORT” BY: Anna Webster This board was elected March 16, 2022 and two months later we were attacked by a few individuals at the May 18th BCPO meeting. Why? An issue with the previous board.

However, it didn't make any difference to the spokesperson. The board tried to answer this person only to have the audience turn into a “mob scene”. Attacking individual board members. “To what levels have we sunk.”

The board members are volunteers working to do the very best we can for the residents.

We need the support of you, the residents. Without your support we, as a board cannot do the job we were elected to do. Also, understand we do not have the answers to everything the moment a resident requests one. Yes, we will make every endeavor to get the answers for you.

The bottom line is “If you don't like the way this board or any board is handling their duties, please get a resume and run for office in March 2023.”

Thank you!

STAMPS FOR THE WOUNDED Stamps for the Wounded (SFTW) is an organization dedicated to providing comfort and stimulating activities for U.S. Veterans that are wounded, ill or isolated.

SFTW has been helping U.S. Veterans since 1943.

To serve our veterans, we rely on donations of postage stamps, U.S. Postage stamps, and cash donations.

If you would like to participate in this project—save the stamps from mail that you receive (Just cut the stamp off the envelope), buy stamps or donate cash.

BROOKRIDGE COLLECTIONS If you would like to help, please collect stamps from your mail, bring them to the Clubhouse where there is a container on a cart in the South Hall.

These stamps are collected by Mrs. Peggy Christie.

Each year they are sent in during the month January.

This year Peggy mailed a 6 lb. 2oz. box from the residents of Brookridge.

Many thanks to all residents who save and donate stamps to this program. For more information; contact Mrs. Peggy Christie at brucepeg1@hotmail.com , 352-596-2973 or SFTW at https://www.stampsforthewounded.org

The Beautification Committee met June 2nd for its regular monthly meeting. We now have 14 members, which is wonderful.

We welcomed our new members: Esther Guerrero and Bob Sampson.

We all think Brookridge Central and the Boulevard are looking better all the time.

Our plans for the summer are to continue cleaning up around bushes, planting some more vincas in some of the beds, mulching, and the on-going job of weeding. Keep an eye out for improvements on Midmoor in the coming weeks!

A big thank you to everyone who has donated money, and to the residents who have helped with watering plants in front of their homes. Watering is a big issue until the rainy season.

We always welcome new volunteers, especially those who have a love for gardening, knowledge of Florida plants and landscaping, or those who would just like something more to do. If you have any questions or suggestions, please call Jim Snyder, Chairman, at 352-596-1804.

Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m., at the Clubhouse.

There won't be a meeting in July, so the next meeting will be August 4th.

Donations can be made by check payable to BCPO with “Beautification Committee” noted in the memo section of the check and deliver it to the Administration Office, or give it to any of the members of the committee.

We hope you all have a wonderful summer. Stay cool!

Kings & Queens are a group of couples that play 9 holes of golf Monday afternoons - alternate shot format for the twosome. If you don't have a male/female partner, you may play as two ladies or two gents. If you haven't played yet, it might be a great way to meet your fellow golfers.

The cost to play is $1.00 per couple.

All money is returned to the winners.

It is not necessary to sign up any day, just come to the club ready to play golf.

Looking forward to seeing you Monday afternoons!

Our priority is having fun - most of our members are playing from the red or silver tees this year.

Come out & enjoy the course with us.

Due to Covid-19 we will not exchange money or score cards this year.

We'll continue playing "Fun Golf".

There will be no dues to join & play.

We are a friendly group and hope you can come.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

EVENING

BIBLE STUDY

BY BILL HARTMAN We meet each Wednesday Evening 6 pm to 7:pm.

The fellowship is for everyone interested in learning their Bible in a simple Read / Q&A method.

Come to the Clubhouse Room C. Understand! God teaches in His Word that there is only one way to have a blessed eternal life after death. Your distant future depends on believing in Jesus Christ NOW, Once God's plan is completed you cannot receive the gift of salvation.

Questions? Come and find answers.

Words of life: John 17:1-5 (KJV) “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (4) I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. (5) And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”

FRIDAY NITE BINGO

by Jackie Bolt One half of the year is gone. Wow, it went fast. Our Friday night Bingo is going along quite nicely.

However, we are always looking for people who would be interested in joining us in a volunteer way.

We are looking for people who would be interested in working the floor, the tables, helping in the kitchen, calling and banking. It is a way to meet and make new friends. You would only have to work one Friday a month.

We have a monthly meeting the second Monday of the month, however, we will not meet again until Sept., at which time we will be creating a nominating committee so seek new officers.

Our President, Eleanor Colasanti will be stepping down.

At this time, on behalf of the Bingo Committee, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Fourth of July. Let us celebrate our America, the Land of the Home and the Brave and the Free.

Aqua Exercise

By Kathy Hershey Summer is definitely here!

If it's too hot for you to exercise outside why not join us Monday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am - 10:00 am at the pool for a full body exercise program.

The exercises will tone your muscles.

The water cushions the joints and is helpful for those that have arthritis.

EXERCISE GROUP

by Linda Hartman

I prefer to walk early in the morning. If you walk during the heat of the day be sure to wear sunscreen and carry drinking water. A cap is also a good ideal. You can also get a cooling headband. When it gets wet with sweat or water, special technology activates to produce a cooling sensation. And don't forget to exercise at least three days a week.

Our class is for Brookridge residents and their houseguests (Sorry, no children).

The cost is fifty cents per class and the first class is free! Class starts at 8:30 am and runs to 9:30 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Classes start with low impact aerobics followed by stretch and tone; weights; and either mats or chairs. The class ends with a balance circle.

Weights and mats are available if you don't have your own.

Come have fun with us!

by Alice Yost It's HOT, so be sure to keep hydrated.

Drinking water is also good when we are trying to control our weight.

Eight glasses of water daily is very good for each of us. Diet drinks don't quench the thirst and artificial sweeteners really aren't healthy.

Join us and learn the healthy way to eat and drink.

Three healthy meals a day!!

We are meeting at 9:00 am on Monday mornings, during June, July and August “Weigh In” ONLY.

Meetings will resume first week of September.
