A New Month

What a hectic couple of weeks!  Olympic sports, theater performances, competion on and off site, a scramble to use up our cafe dollars!
 
Several of us have just finished the Annual Joyce Dupor Scrabble tourny, held every year with a prize of immense value.  Chocolate!
 
 
It was a nail biter til the end with a three way tie for first place (and the coveted GIANT chocolate bar) but yours truly pulled it off beating Miss Vicki by a few points and sending rival Jim to the bench.
 
Speaking of Mr. Jim...I am a candidate for sainthood as we've been married, as of April 1st (no joke) for 50 years.

As you travel home, or as summer permits, send your stories, pictures and updates to me so I can keep us all "in the loop". zabrit@eathlink.net will come right to my desk and I'll make you famous!

Taxes, thus rates, are going up!

After spending years updating and improving the quality of life here at Sandpipers Resort we have had our taxes raised by as much as 11%.  To justify this increase, we would like to form a committee to oversee, and adjust and possible offer suggestions for improvements in both regulations and entertainment.  We will need supervisors to cover rule infractions and ideas for new entertainments and perks.

If you would like to participate in our future plans please come by our home, Jay & Karen lot 39. We will need face to face meetings to ensure success and commitment and privacy, so please come see us at home.

Here is a list of possible additives to improve our Sandpiper lives.
 
  Please let us know your preference, if any. 
 
1.Regulation Water Volleyball to be played daily
 7:30am til 8:30.am.
 
2. Curbside trash and recycling pick up.
 
3. All home mowing done by staff.
 
4. A Field Z community garden. Experience helpful but not required.
 
5. Light home gardening, i.e. weeding by resort staff.
 
6. Home delivered meals. Chef skills not necessary.
 
7. On call pet sitting.
 
8. Chickens near the possible community garden for fresh eggs (small animal husbandry experience needed).

9. A sauna for those chilly winter days.

10. A radar gun to ensure 10 miles per hour speed limit for bikes, golf carts and cars. A background in law enforcement preferred.

 
Look over the list and let us know your preference or add an idea of your own, and we will try to add at least one new idea to make life at Sandpipers even sweeter.
 
 Come to lot 39 to confer and/or volunteer with Jay and Karen.
