RESORT ACTIVITIES Here we are at the end of another regular season and many of our friends have already left for their summer homes. We wish them a good summer and safe travels. As many more continue leaving, we wish you the same. We look forward to seeing everyone again next season.

The activity office officially closes on April 1st. Please continue to keep an eye on the lobby board to stay informed about what’s going on.

We hope you participated in and enjoyed all the activities this season. Stay cool and have a wonderful summer.

There are no scheduled or planned activities for those of us left, however, if someone decides to plan an event it will be posted in the lobby; so keep an eye out so you don’t miss it.

The last Church service for the season was Easter Sunday, March 31st, the Church services will resume on November 3rd.

The last Bingo night will be Thursday, April 11th and they will start up again on October 17th.

Monday night Darts also ended in March, so unless some people organize something on their own, it also will return next season.

There will not be any potluck lunches in April unless someone decides to organize one and then it will be posted. Make sure to keep an eye on the bulletin board in the lobby; you wouldn’t want to miss and impromptu pot luck lunch!

The computer user club was a big success this year and will be taking the summer off now. Look for them in the fall.

The activity office will open next season on Tuesday, October 15th.

The first dance of the season will be the Halloween dance Saturday, October 26th with the American Kountry Band. This will be our Halloween Party / costume night.

Do you need work done around your house or lot this summer? Desert Shadows highly recommends Ebelio or Jessie. They are available after hours and on weekends. Just contact the office.

Guy’s and Gal’s Golf The annul spring couples golf tournament was held March 15 at Bellair Golf Course. Fifty six golfers enjoyed the beautiful weather and good company for a great day of golf. About 70 people attended the awards dinner held in Iron Works Restaurant.

Cash awards were presented to the winning teams: First Place Team: Ralph Spiva, Val Crump, Paul LeMay and Pat MacCourt Second Place Team: Bill Braden, Kathy Mueller and Jim Porter Third Place Team: Bill Pudlik, Doris Kelly, Walt Theyerl and Elaine Borgen There were awards for “closest-to-the pin” on two holes each for the women and for the men. Doris Kelly and Lynn Cunningham won the womens and Ralph Spiva and Dwayne Eberhardt won the mens.

Everybody putted with a goofy putter we borrowed from Juel Carman and five people managed to make a putt – a record!! Bill Crump won the puttoff and we all went away vowing to purchase a “goofy” putter!!

Plans are already under way for the 2013 fall tournament tentatively set for November 15 so start looking for a partner soon. Also, a big “thank you” to all those who donated their time, prizes and to those who played golf. We look forward to seeing all of you in the fall. Travel safely and have a wonderful, golf-filled summer.

Thanks everyone, Afton Leaton, Doris Kelly, Grant White and Richard Heried

New Website The Desert Shadows has been working on a new website!!! We finally have it updated, so next time you are on the internet, go check it out at: www.PhoenixRVresorts.com. We are still “tweaking” some of the pictures and content, but for the most part it is much more modern than before. Some of the features that you may find interesting is the new section for the Newsletter. All of our newsletters and calendar can be read on the site in full color, from your computer, ipad or even smartphone. We are also starting a Blog on the site, where we will have articles and things of interest. Lastly, we have a link on the site for you to “like” us on our new Facebook page and become a “friend”… We are going to try to use the Desert Shadows RV Resort Facebook page to show photos of events and spread the word on some of our activities in the future. Just click on the “like us” button on our website to check it out.

Talent Show I would like to give a first timer’s view of being an act in this year’s Desert Shadows talent show. I was very impressed with the entire process, and Jim was an excellent director. Behind the scenes was an unforgettable experience. Everyone was very supportive of each other and encouraging. As each act finished and returned to the back everyone clapped for them with hugs all around. Was a very heartwarming and moving experience. The show of support and encouragement was beyond anything I ever experienced. It made me so glad and happy to be part of the Desert Shadows Family.

Thank you all so very much. The audience was also above and beyond with their laughter and applause.

Thank You! THE DESERT SUN
