Have a Happy 4th of July and enjoy your Dinner.

BOCCE BALL NEWS On June 10th, we celebrated the end of the season of bocce Ball with a luncheon and awards ceremony. We feasted on various delicious pizzas and a wonderful garden salad that our general manager, Linda Cordes made.

Prizes and awards were given to various players and teams. Team #2m caked the ‘Hi or Low Balls’ received some salami for rolling the most salamis. Michele S. received some Hershey chocolate Kisses for rolling the most kissed in the season. Every team’s player (that were in attendance) received a special prize based on their team’s name.

Which amounted to some fun and surprising gifts.

ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Wendy Weir is now on the Activities Committee, Spc #4. Laura Olsen is Vice President 4th of July BBQ – Friday, Parade – 2pm, children’s games and Dinner. Volunteers are needed for decorating, setting up and cleaning up.

Treasurer Report as of 6/4/25: $2,932.97.

Upcoming events: July 19th Movie Matinee, “Guys and Dolls”, August 9th, Ice Cream Social.

Next meeting is July 3rd at 2:30pm in Switzer Hall. All residents are welcome.

We finished up the luncheon by giving the first-place team, “The 3 Old Men and a Lady” (named that because there were 3 old men and a lovely lady on the team). They were each given a colorful and shining 15inch tall, 24 gold carat plastic trophies to be placed proudly somewhere in their home.

Congratulations to the champs: Chris G., John T., Jim M, and the lady Trudy T. We will not pick new teams for next season at this time because we don’t know when the new bocce ball fields will be ready. Some are thinking maybe sometime in September, to start the new season???

We will keep you posted. At some time in the near future we’ll have a late afternoon ‘pick new teams’ with a fine wine party, a few weeks before the new season starts.

pg. 2

We will also have a sign-up sheet available to order and obtain players sizes for our new bocce ball T-shirts. We have a new design, voted on by our players and they are a WOW! Order one even if you don’t play the game!!

New and existing players look for sign-up sheets in the Hobby House and round Switzer’s Hall, or call our G.M., Linda C. at 805-905-0211 for any questions, more information, or to sign up. We are always looking for new part-time players. Bocce Ball is a lot of fun to play ad there is not much experience necessary. Mostly just aim, roll and hope for the best. Plus, playing Bocce Ball is a fun activity, there is the strategy, the excitement, the laughing, the cheering, and being outside with your neighbors make this activity hard to beat.

It’s just all the things our doctors advise us to do.

First Place (missing Capt. Chris Gough) John Trumbower, Trudy Trumbower, Jim Musante

Games are played every Thursday morning starting at 9:30am.

Ciao, Jim M

~~~~~~ SANDBAGGERS ~~~~~~ May Sandbagger Tournament is Blind Luck

The May 29th Morro Shores Sandbaggers tournament had 16 players, 4 full teams! We had a great day and the four teams played in a 9hole scramble tournament! Competition was fierce as the teams were very adept at using the best ball on each shot.

After the scorecards were submitted, tournament director Cheryl Vines added an additional game (much to the chagrin of at least one player….), ‘memorializing’ (removing) scores on three of the holes. The three were determined in advance by our Sea Pines Expert, Jordan the bartender! After removing scores for holes 3, 6 and 9, the winners were determined. As it turned out, no team got much help or harm from the game, as the winning order did not change. Team 4 was the winner with a score of 18! Winners included returning player Linda Lee, Barbara Wiebe, Keith Matthews and ‘alumni’ player Xavier Ferran.

Longest drive was on hole 4. Steve Wheeler had a beautiful shot right down the middle to win the men’s and Sharon ‘Muscles’ Bufo took the women’s prize. Gene Heyer was the prize winner on closest to the hole on #1.

The ‘Blue Ball’ putting contest was the fun of the day. The players each got three tries at a short 6-foot putt, BUT they had to do it blind-folded! 4 players made it through the first round but only two were still in after

the second. New neighbor, Wally Wiebe, made it to the 3rd round but got edged out in the third round by who else, Terri Janelli!

A great time was had by all and we look forward to the next tournaments on June 26th and July 31st at Sea Pines. Come out and join us! Cheryl Vines See ya on the greens. Hugs, Terri 805-459-0600

CALLING ALL CREATURES OF THE NIGHT!!

It’s time to start planning the next MSMHP Halloween Party!

Last year’s success was a reflection of how much love and laughter went into the planning of our spooktacular event. There are so many fun characters in this park that I am certain we can do it again.

QUOTES 4th of JULY quotes My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

Thomas Jefferson Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

Dwight D. Eisenhower This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.

Lyndon B. Johnson All we have of freedom, all we use or know, This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling, "The Old Issue," 1899 America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

Adlai Stevenson May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this, our own country!

Daniel Webster Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism.

J. Horace McFarland Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson

The Lighter Side Traffic Court A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked her occupation, she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court."

He smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a red light' five hundred times."

Two Guys From Chicago Two guys die and wake up in hell. The next day, the devil stops to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats, warming themselves around the fire.

The devil: "What are you doing? Isn't hell hot enough for you?"

The guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Chicago, Illinois, the land of ice and snow and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a bit."

The devil is absolutely furious. He decides to turn off all the heat.

The next morning, it's below zero in hell. There are icicles everywhere and people are shivering so bad they are unable to wail and moan.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Chicagoans. He finds them jumping up and down and cheering.

One exclaims, "When hell freezes over, that can mean just one thing: The Cubs won the World Series!"
