CLUBHOUSE UPDATE Paul Davis Restoration is just waiting for approval for a go ahead from Pasco County. The engineers have been approved, but the County is now asking for an additional engineering approval. The restoration people are ready to begin as soon as given the OK. At that time a committee of 4 or 5 people from the park will meet with management to discuss a “wish list” for improvements. We appreciate your patience. FROM THE PRESIDENT I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. We should give thanks daily for freedom our troops fought to give us. I have contracted the fire department regarding checking our fire alarms. They will replace them if needed at no charge. This Christmas pray for our country, and remember we are “One Nation Under God With Liberty And Justice For ll”.

He spoke about a bulk rate service as low as $40.00 per month. This is in the early stages, but could benefit our community. This would require a 100% community participation.

Equipment is provided and we’ll “show you the ropes”, if you haven't played in the past. THE PICTURE From the country to the city, You can find great Christmas cheer. The sound, the smell, the visions seen, Binding hearts, spreading love to share. A tree of joy within the house, Watch as mistletoe may appear. Old Christmas carols bring such life, There music seems new each year. Where some do dwell a hope is kept, For a love who will not be near. In a special place, by the tree, Stands the picture of one so dear. Adorned in uniform to serve, The pride of this home is clear. At tender moments from a heart, Come prayers for God to hear. Let us think of who is prayed for, And with love pray to God, sincere. Through our Savior born on Christmas, Comes the faith to deal with all fear. And the glory that is Heaven, We have faith to be one day there. Roger J. Robicheau
