Lifestyle

SPRING HAS SPRUNG AT CRESSWIND! Holy Cow! Is it really almost Spring! I am so ready to start seeing those flowers bloom and feeling a warm breeze blow through the neighborhood. It’s like a re-birth, and that is exactly what we are going to do with the Lifestyle here at Cresswind. Let’s see what is in store for you!

First of all, let’s talk about the wonderful new option you all have to purchase tickets for Lifestyle Events and Fitness Classes. YES! You can now use credit cards at the front desk! No more writing out checks (unless you want to). Also, you can now purchase tickets online anytime, anywhere as long as you have internet access.

All you have to do is go to www.eventbrite.com and type in the code Marina3300 and you have access to all the available tickets on sale at that time. Yes, there is a nominal charge for this service that will be added to your card.

However, if you do not want to pay a fee, come to the front desk as always and pay by check- your choice. This is terrific for all those folks who still work and cannot come to the front desk during business hours or those of you out of town who want to purchase tickets while you away. Go to the site and look around.

That all said, what should you buy tickets for? Well, let me tell you! Of course, we start every month with the community favorite FIRST FRIDAY on March 4th at 7pm. This month we feature Betty Seni. Come dance, mingle, party with your friends & neighbors for only $5! Don’t party too hard, because the next morning on March 5th at 10am we host our first ever FITNESS DAY! The launch of our revamped Fitness Program has been a huge success. We now have over 10 instructors and new classes. Even nighttime and weekend classes now for those who work. Come meet and greet with our new instructors, enjoy healthy refreshments and even participate in some of the class demonstrations! How fun! Love movies? Well Cresswind is for you! March is “Oscar Month” where we not only feature the Oscar nominated movie “Steve Jobs” in our ballroom at 7pm on March 9th, but we bring you the CRESSWIND OSCAR FILM FESTIVAL on March 25th, 26th and 27th. We will feature some of the Oscar winners and nominees past and present! We follow up with one more Oscar movie on April 13th at 7pm. Free Popcorn! So good we had to bring it back! It’s TRIVIA NIGHT again on March 12th at 7pm. Get your team together or come solo and join in with a team. Only $5! Hurry, it sold out our very first time. So the BIG show this month is STEPHEN SKIPPER’S ROLLING STONES TRIBUTE! This 7 piece band has the best Mick Jagger you have ever seen or heard.

This will easily sell out at $15, so get a ticket fast.

We are having a little fun on FIRST FRIDAY on April 1st as we feature TWISTED HIPSTERS. This band was formed by none other than ROBERT CRITTENDEN, resident of Cresswind and all around great guy. He assures me his band is awesome, I believe him! If not… I just say “April Fools” Ha! On April 9th at 11am, you will see the BIGGEST VENDOR FAIR Cresswind has ever seen! We bring in over 70 vendors from all kinds of local businesses, services and even food! You can browse, shop or just socialize. You will not be disappointed! April 15th, as the weather warms up, we bring back FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY! This event features an awesome food truck out front at the clubhouse where you preorder and pay for your food, pick it up at the truck, and weather permitting, enjoy it on the front lawn in the sun! Yum! Not enough yet? Well, who can resist our event on Sunday, April 24th at 12 Noon. It’s an ICE CREAM SOCIAL and totally free! Join us for creamy treats out back! Last, and certainly not least, a VERY special treat to end the month. On April 29th at 7pm, live on our ballroom stage we welcome SIMPLY STREISAND! Woo Hoo! 2 hours of all the Streisand hits, costume changes, interaction with the audience and duets. Simply Amazing! You do NOT want to miss this show, I promise you! Only $15!

What an incredible Spring you have in store! Please get out, meet new people and enjoy this wonderful place. You deserve it!

A Senior Moment I admire people with musical talent. A great vocal or instrumental performance can move me to tears.

My singing has been known to bring people to tears.

When I croon, grown men cry and gnash their teeth (I wonder what happens when teeth are gnashed) and women swoon. In fact, they are simply so overcome by my vocal gymnastics; they head for the exits to recover from their other-worldly experience. I haven’t checked to see if they returned.

Financial solutions are around the corner.

Our Cresswind Chorus is a great group, and I could add so much more to it, but I am afraid the envy and jealousy over my talent would cause friction among the singers. So, Maestro Bridwell, just do the best you can without me.

I do have an idea that might work for me and others like me with a different sound. How about a vocal group who sing off-key, but in sync. Standards, easy listening, rock and roll, blues, country; all done off key would be a new sound sensation.

I know there are others out there just like me--talented, but overlooked. Come join my off-key group. Off-key instrumentalists are welcome. I just cannot allow such musical talent to be wasted.

If there are any agents out there looking for a new act that can’t miss, just call me. Don’t worry Chuck, you don’t have to call.

The Chorus is not quite ready for our amazing off-key talent.

Resident News & Information

Covey’s “7 Habits” Repeats this Fall at Cresswind

by Ken Levine

In 2013 and 2014, twenty-three of our residents participated in two sessions of Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” at Cresswind, facilitated by Ken Levine. Another seven(7)week workshop is planned this year in October/November. This timeless material and perennial best-seller provides invaluable advice on setting personal goals, time management, and improving relationships with people we care about. Once it is determined who is interested, we will determine the best dates and times to plan the two hour sessions.

In case you are unsure if this might be for you, check out these resident testimonials: “My first thought when I started this class was to wish I had taken it 20 years ago. I questioned what use it would be now. I sure found out!” Judy Canonico “Choices in retirement have been bewildering. We learned many helpful techniques for planning, prioritizing and scheduling, and heartily recommend this course to one and all.” Steve and Nancy Murray “We both feel that we gained more skills for discussions with each other and to be able to say ‘no’ when necessary to maintain our own priorities.” Deborah and John McGuidwin “This workshop helped clarify what I want to do for the rest of my life and helped put it in balance. Please consider committing the time to learn about Covey’s 7 Habits. You won’t be disappointed!” Pat Bursten “I got a clear picture of what I wanted in life and a path to achieve my goals.” Mark Johnson The workshop fee will be $10 per participant to defray the cost of materials. For more information, please contact Ken Levine at levine3116@charter.net and send him your $10 as soon as possible to reserve your place. An introductory meeting/presentation is planned at the clubhouse from 5:30-6:30pm on March 24th.

Residents gathered for “Back the Badge”

Underpass completed - we are finally all connected!

Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre Update

by Bert Emma

Mark your calendars for April 21st through the 24th for our Spring Production of “You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running” by Robert Anderson. This Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre production will be a Stage Reading of the play which contains comedic views of various situations which we can all identify with and laugh about. The play has been cast with 11 Cresswind resident actors currently in rehearsal. The entire production team is working diligently to create a show for our audiences to enjoy. Come join us for a good time – April 21st through the 24th.

The Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre’s Production Design and Operation’s Forum has started which is an opportunity for those interested in various aspects of sound, lighting, costumes, sets and special effects to get together and learn the “secrets” behind the scene. There is no charge to attend these workshops which meet the 4th Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm.

In addition, an Actor’s Forum has been formed which allows experienced actors to get together and improve their acting skills. The Actor’s Forum meets the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm and works on various acting topics that help the actor grow.

Our Cresswind “Playscript” Book Club is a book club where members read and discuss various plays (just like a Book Club that reads novels – instead book club members read plays). The next play to be discussed will be “The Philadelphia Story” by Philip Barry. Our discussion meetings are held every other month and the next one is scheduled for 2:00 pm Fine Furniture & Design in the Crow’s Nest on March 15th, 2016.

If you are interested in participating in any aspect of the Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre, send a note to bemmajr@ gmail.com. Visit our website to obtain information about the Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre: https://sites.google. com/site/cresswindperformingarts/cresswind-neighborhoodtheatre.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at our 2016 theatre productions which promise to be another great year of theater here in our wonderful neighborhood of Cresswind.

Fun With Food Group

by Judy Brannan

During the past few months, the Fun With Food Group, part of the Cresswind Cooking Club, has been very busy offering one special event per month. These fun activities are continuing into 2016. We began the year in January with Teatime for the Ladies and then brought back Soup Night.

In February, we held the last Soup Night of the Season and will follow with a Chili CookOff in March. Then in April, back by popular demand, will be It’s Not Your Kids Grilled Cheese Sandwich. In May, we plan to have Phong Li from Atlanta Seafood cater an event. If you have not eaten at Atlanta Seafood, this will be a great treat. In June, one of our Cresswind residents will lead an Italian Pasta Night. There will be a break in July and August, returning in September with our monthly schedule.

Ideas are welcome as we continue through 2016. Come join the Cooking Club and participate with your friends and neighbors in these different activities. Thank you to all who have so willingly contributed time and talents to make these events so successful.

Grill & Ale

By Paula King

Grill & Ale started off the year with a great Super Bowl Party, thanks to Mary Ann & Ross Amick, Sue & Jim Smith, and Ron & Carol Stowe.

And they’re off...Saturday, May 7th Kentucky Derby Party! Rose Micuch, Mickey Irvin, and Jan Cieply are planning a great get together with all the flair of the real thing.

Then back by popular demand on May 28th, Tom & Lisa Brown will head up a group to throw our Second Annual Taste of the Lake with fish from our very own Lake Lanier. This was a hugely successful event last year and expect no less this year.

June 11th is the Luau headed up by Marilyn Maxson, Nancy Kubiak, Heidi Anderson, Lisa Brown, Elaine Vetter, and JoAnn Mueller. Did I hear Roast Pig? What is a Dive-in Movie? Come August 6th for a BBQ, Beer, and Dive-In Movie to find out. Hal & Inge Flomerfelt are setting up the event and will be looking for volunteers to help -so much fun.

Oktoberfest is next on September 24th. David and Cathy Jones will be coordinating this fun filled celebration.

Grill and Ale is still looking for an overall coordinator. Since most of this year is planned, it would be great for someone to step up to oversee details and take over next year. Think about it. It is a lot of work but also a lot of fun.

Kayak Group

By Ted Holbrook & Pete Lyons

The big news from the Kayak perspective is that all the approvals necessary are in place so that we can move forward with the proposal to add 12 horizontal racks stacked three high along the sidewalk near the kayak dock. Dave Pech is leading this effort and as progress is made, updates will be provided. With the assistance of Clair Langmaid, a License Agreement for the Horizontal Kayak Racks is in process which will be used, much like the Marina does, to provide those who are interested an opportunity to purchase a license to use one of the 12 racks. More details to follow on this and the improvements this effort will afford to our Kayaking experience!

Upcoming activities this spring which impact the Kayak Group are as follows: *Spring Field Day scheduled for Saturday April 16 (rain date April 23rd) *Skogies Breakfast paddle scheduled for Saturday May 7 *Kayak Adventure Paddle scheduled for Wednesday May 25 to be hosted by Greg Hilger *Weekly paddles on Wednesday evenings & Saturday mornings in early spring We are also exploring the possibility of a Picnic/Beach group paddle at one of the local parks on Lake Lanier!

Looking forward to an exciting year of Kayaking!

Genealogy Club

by Dave Dittmeier

Since the last edition of The Waterfall, a new club has been formed. The first meeting of the Genealogy Club had over 60 residents in attendance. The initial presentation gave an overview of what genealogy is all about and some examples of what is to be found in making and tracing family history. The Genealogy Club is open to all Cresswind residents who are interested in tracing their family roots, whether it is for self-interest or leaving a legacy to their family. The Club meets the 4th Wednesday of the month in the ballroom at 7 pm. For more information, contact Howie Mueller accudart556@yahoo.com or Dave Dittmeier DaDittmeier@gmail.com .

Tennis Club

by Pete Lyons

The Tennis Club is planning some great season kick off events. On Sunday, March 13th at 2:00 pm, there will be a fun Round Robin Mixed Tourney and Social. All skill levels and all Cresswind residents are welcome. There will be an inter-community play with Deaton Creek and others, as well as open play and some Mixed Doubles competition. The Cresswind Mixed Doubles Tournament Play will be a repeat of last year’s successful Night Time and Day Teams so the working folks can join in.

Return to Tennis: For all of you who have not picked up a racket in a long time or maybe never, we will have set days that will give you some time to work on your strokes with the assistance of some of our resident ‘instructors’, combined with the use of our ball machine. The Ladies USTA team and Men’s Silver Ball team will be competing against neighboring communities. Contact Maya Fisher and Dan Skeels for more information.

There are lots of new members on the courts these days, grab your racket, and come out to join them!

Dues are $10 for the year.

Here are just some of the activities/events we have planned this year: Training - now scheduled for every Tuesday 11:00am-1:00pm Open Play - We have expanded open play to include time slots for those who are just learning the game, providing an opportunity to get comfortable with this game without feeling intimidated or over-matched.

Travel Club News!

by Phil Vinyard

The Cresswind Travel Club now has over 525 members making our club the largest in the community. With trips such as the Opryland at Christmas trip to Nashville and the upcoming trips to Callaway Gardens, the tour of antebellum homes in Madison, Georgia, and dinner and the Kinky Boots play at the Fox Theater, it is easy to see why the club has so many members in the community.

We are also excited about the upcoming trip in June that will include white water rafting and a food and wine outing for the less adventurous on that trip.

The trip to Nashville in December and stay at the Opryland Hotel was a terrific way to wrap up the 2015 agenda of trips.

This 3000 room facility was decorated beautifully with a display of Christmas trees mingled in with the traditional landscaping throughout the interior. It was fun to take the river boat around the inside to see all the lights and decorations. This trip also included the play “The Grinch”, a show at the old Ryman Auditorium where the original ONFUSED ABOUT Grand Ole Opry started, a river boat cruise and show, and LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers show at the hotel.

Types of plans: • Traditional Long Term Care

?

C

The cost to join the club is only $5 and each trip is reasonably priced with some day and overnight trips on the calendar for 2016. We have monthly meetings in the ballroom at 4 pm the first Thursday of every month and anyone in the community is welcome along with the CTC members. Please check out our website at: www.cresswindtravelclub.com.

• Hybrid/Linked Life Insurance

Many of the Long Term Care benefits are designed to keep you in your home.

Also, how can the Georgia Partnership Program help protect assets?

Call or email and we will provide you with the details you need to make an “informed” decision about this important subject.

Teatime for the Ladies

by Judy Brannan

In January the Fun with Food Group introduced a new event to the Cresswind Cooking Club calendar, Teatime for the Ladies.

It was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all.

Eight ladies hosted the tables, bringing their china and decorating their table. Tea, of course, was served in beautiful teapots. The menu included savory sandwiches and highlighted English scones. The ladies were dressed “to the nines” and many wore gorgeous hats. There was a contest for the best hat. This can be a new annual tradition. Thanks to all the women who helped set up and prepare the food for this event. It was certainly a memorable occasion.

Landscape Committee

By Meg Bohn

Spring is just around the corner and with the New Year, the Landscape Committee is announcing the “retirement” of its Chairman, Elbert Durden and a valued committee member, Ed Pallo, along with the naming of Sarah Galshack and Meg Bohn as the new team at the helm. A very big “Thank You” to Elbert and Ed for all the hours and dedicated service to our community.

With spring will bring many new ideas for our neighborhood landscapes. Please keep in mind that whatever you plant or replace in your landscape becomes your responsibility to maintain, not the association’s or MTScapes’ responsibility. So think before you plant and please submit your plans as early as possible. This will prevent a long wait time for you to start. We also ask that you review our new acceptable plant lists before you consult a landscape company and let the office know by email or letter when the work is completed.
