FROM THE OFFICE

1. WEEDS: Still in need of a lot of work. A lot of

infractions were given out at the end of December

and more may be coming. If everyone would

please make weeding your lot a part of your regu-

lar week’s activities…..not only will it stop the

need for infractions, but it will make the job

much easier to manage. We thank you in ad-

vance.

2. We are still having issues with folks not cleaning

up after their dogs. This is not an option, it is a

requirement of all residents of the park as well as

the RV park. We are going to im-

plement a fine that will be passed

on to anyone caught not picking up

after their animals. Also, when

walking dogs in the park, they must

be on a leash at all times and cats

are to be kept indoors and not to run free around

the park.

3. 10 MPH!! Some folks are

still driving way too fast

within the park. The speed

limit is 10 MPH throughout

the entire property. We are

going to be adding speed

bumps on B and D streets

soon. Nobody enjoys driv-

ing over speed bumps, so

please heed the speed limit

so that we don’t have to add

even more through the park.

ROYAL PALM BLOCK WATCH

One Block Watch Volunteer Needed

We need one or two Block Watch volunteers for pa-

trol duties. Contact Dale Stroh (701) 739-0012, or

George Immerso (480) 628-4949 for more info

about patrol duties or to volunteer. Schedules can be

flexible; you can serve once a week, once a month, or

other frequency. Transportation is available.

Don’t Call Block Watch!

Do not open your door to a stranger! If someone

comes to your door and makes a move to open your

door, CALL THE POLICE and rEport a “POSSIBLE

HOME INVASION”. Secure your door, and protect

yourself and your property.

If you see someone or something that looks out of

place, do not approach them, do not call a Block

Watch member, do not call the Office—CALL THE

POLICE! Block Watch is out there to be our eyes

and ears only, not to become involved with a poten-

tial miscreant.

CALL THE POLICE!!

Call 9-1-1 first if an emergency.

Call Crime Stoppers (602) 262-6151 for non-

emergency crime reporting

If the police are not involved then there is no offi-

cial record of the event.

Reporting Suspicious People

The Office has provided forms for Block Watch vol-

unteers to document suspicious persons or activities

happening in the Park. These are intended to provide

a record for discussions with the Police or the City.

See the column at the right for what we need to do as

residents. If you should make an Incident Report to

the Office be sure to give Dale Stroh a copy.

Please Call Police

If you notify Police about suspicious people or activi-

ties we will have more patrolling in Royal Palm,

making it safer for all.

ROYAL PALM PARK ASSOCATION ITEMS

Call 9-1-1 first if an emergency:

Call Crime Stoppers (602) 262-6151 for non-

emergency crime reporting.

Nominations And Elections

Nominations for officers have started, in preparation

for elections in January.

All four key offices are open: President, Vice Presi-

dent, Secretary, and Treasurer.

The Nominating Committee is headed by CherYl

Ringer (219) 863-1199; contact her if you wish to

run or to nominate someone. Nominations will be

open at the election meeting in January. Those elect-

ed will take office in February.

Nominations made to date include:

Elaine Violette, President

Wanda Perry, Vice President

Dave Violette, Secretary

Mary Jane Caraher, Treasurer

Gail Brazell, Member at Large

Frances Hedrick, Member at Large

Mary McDougale, Member at Large *

Phyllis Pawlak, Member at Large *

Diana Lasky, Member at LarGe

* Those marked are currently serving in that position.

Potluck Suppers

Potluck Suppers resume in January, with one on Jan-

uary 12th. See the details on page 17.

Breakfast In The Park

Mary Jane Caraher reported there were 75 at the De-

cember breakfast. We will have one on Saturday,

January 5th.

Starting in January, the price of the breakfast will go

up by $1 to $6, due to increases over time of the gro-

ceries needed to provide the meal. However, the

$2.50 charge for seconds will go away as long as the

seconds are consumed on the premises . It is not fair

to get seconds only to take home.

Thanks to Royal Palm

We give a special vote of thanks to the Royal Palm

Managers, who provided the gifts given out as door

prizes at the Christmas dinners. What a special thing

to do for our residents!

Birthday Bash

The January Birthday Bash will be held on Wednes-

day, January 16th, at Rustler’s Rooste in Phoenix.

Anyone is welcome to come, whether they have a

January birthday or not. Contact Gail Brazell (602)

327-8125 to RSVP by Monday, January 14th. Details

on page 9.

Christmas Dinners

The Christmas dinners were very enjoyable and well

supported. There were 84 dinners served on Tuesday

and 100 dinners on Wednesday. On both nights, din-

ners were delivered to shut-ins and people not able to

attend the events due to illness or other.

We give a great vote of thanks to Gail Brazell, who

spearheaded the whole event and organized, cajoled,

and hussled us all to make things go smoothly!

Thanks also go to Dale and Betty Stroh, Chery Ring-

er, Mary Jane Caraher, Mary McDougale, Darlene

Payne, and Trish and two of her kids who worked in

the kitchen and served us at the dinners. Marlene

Town gets a great thanks for the wonderful decora-

tions in the Clubhouse including the attractive Christ-

mas tree, table decorations, and serving table decora-

tions. Marlene made the setting very festive. Thanks

also to Dave Violette for designing and printing the

tickets and to the Board members who sold tickets. It

takes a lot of people to make this a success.

50/50 Winner, Ham Winner

Joyce Valenzuela was the winner of $29.00 in the

50/50 raffle.

Jan Schirripa won the donated ham.

Both drawings were done from the 50/50 tickets.

Outstanding Home of the Month – January 2019

Jackie Levi —D46 A home well deserved to win Outstanding Home of

the Month! The homeowner receives a $25 credit on rent for that

month. Be sure to mention it when paying rent.

CHRISTMAS HAYRIDE AND PARADE

Golf carts and hayride lined up to start The carolers on the hayride

Tom and Wanda’s truck and trailer Gathered for hot chocolate and cookies after

Tom and Wanda Perry arranged for the hayride.

They used their truck and trailer and borrowed/

rented some straw bales. Music was provided by a

boombox mounted on the back of their truck. Some-

one had printed out the lyrics to several carols and

Christmas music that would be played, to help the

singers.

It was fortunate in that temperatures were good. They were in the 60s for most of the parade.

Tom drove the parade through streets in the Park

and in the RV section. He did not cover all the streets because the truck-trailer combination need-ed maneuvering room.

It was fun to have people come out from their

homes to greet the parae along the way. There were

a lot of "Merry Christmas" greetings passed back

and forth between paraders and spectators.

After the parade all joined in enjoying hot chocolate

and cookies at the Clubhouse. This extended the

good cheer and friendship.

ROYAL PALM CHRISTMAS DINNER

Our Annual Christmas Dinner was enjoyed by many on

Tuesday, December 11th (first session), and Wednesday,

December 12th (second session). There were 84 at the

Tuesday meal and 100 at the Wednesday meal.

Marlene Town did a wonderful job of decorating for the

event, as usual. The Christmas tree set on the stage was

elegant and colorful, and the table centerpieces (see

photo at right) made the tables warm and comfortable.

The menu offered a choice of turkey or ham and we also

had mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey dressing, green

beans, and rolls. Apple, pecan, and pumpkin pies topped

off the meal for dessert.

Craft Group

Most every Tuesday from 11 AM to around 3 PM

you will find a group of women, and sometimes men,

gathered in the clubhouse to work on their personal

craft projects. Sometimes there will be an optional

class taught by one of the group or someone from

CHILI AND BAKE SALE

outside. If you have a special craft you like to do,

consider sharing it with others in the Craft Group.

The primary objective of this group is to simply en-

joy each other’s company and to share craft project
