GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARDBob & Barbara Scheitlin

”Upon arriving at SVE, Barbara and Bob have enjoyed the lifestyle and environment of retirement living. Bob immediately jumped in and got involved in the condo board and has been a board member in one capacity or the other. Bob is a master craftsman – you will see him at the woodshop nearly every day. Barbara enjoys shuffl eboard and singing with the Sunland Singers. They are always providing a helping hand to their neighbors.”

Bob and Barbara were both born in New Jersey. Bob followed his father and older brothers by serving in the US Marine Corp. After leaving the Marines, he moved to Phoenix in 1957 where he met Barbara at church and they married in 1958 at the same church. Bob went through an apprenticeship program for cabinetmaking, became a journeyman cabinetmaker, and served as president of the cabinetmakers’ union. They have 2 sons, both born in Phoenix. Barbara worked as a secretary/bookkeeper for an air conditioning wholesaler in Phoenix. Bob attended Arizona State University, where he earned two degrees.

In 1973, they moved to Redmond, WA where Bob eventually established Bob’s Cabinet Shop. Bob served on the City Planning Commission and was elected to the Redmond City Council. Barbara worked as an Accounts Payable Bookkeeper for various companies in Seattle and Bellevue, WA.

After retiring in 2003, Bob and Barbara moved to SVE, following Bob’s twin sister Joan and her husband, Ray Henderson. After they arrived they both played shuffl eboard, and Bob played billiards. Then other things piqued his interest. For the past 9 years Bob has been very active as an offi cer in Garden Condo 3. He fi rst became the Architectural Chairman, then President, and is now the Treasurer. Most recently Bob was elected as Woodshop President. Barbara works quietly behind the scenes making all of Bob’s jobs and projects easier by doing computer work for him. Barbara sang in the church choir and currently sings with the Sunland Singers. Bob served as an usher at church for several years and they both work at the church on Friday mornings folding bulletins and doing other chores as needed. Their oldest son lives in Canton, GA and their youngest one in Murrieta, CA. They have 3 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Wyn OlsonSince being elected to the offi ce of president of our

HOA on January 17, I have met with our Manager, our Activities Director

and each member of our Board of Directors. I have shared with them my concept of board leadership and listened to their views of past events and future needs.

We had a well-attended and productive Study Session on February 7. The concerns of a number of residents were presented. Plans were suggested on how to deal with them in a proper and positive manner.

The Board approved several issues as agenda items for our February 14 Monthly Board Meeting. There was positive input from the residents.

We look forward to your support and cooperation during the coming months.

SALUTE TO OUR VETERANSLEE HURLBUT

Lee Hurlbut grew up in the small town of St. Lawrence, SD. He displayed an early aptitude for music and began playing instruments at age nine. He was so profi cient on the Oboe that he won several competitions and it’s surprising he didn’t become a professional musician.

At age 17, with his parents permission, he joined the US Navy. After basic training in San Diego he attended Aviation Machinist School in Seattle, WA.

While stationed there he was able to play in the Navy Band.On December 7th after Pearl Harbor was attacked, Lee

found himself on a cruise ship - The USS Lurleen, which arrived in Hawaii while the targeted ships were still smoking. He was assigned to a Marine Base at Kaneohe Bay where he trained pilots coming out of fl ight school in Pensacola, FL. Lee’s job was to ride “rear seat” in a SBD Dive Bomber.

Lee soon was aboard the USS Dixie, a destroyer tender in transit with a destination of New Caledonia. While there he helped build a base and service planes that fl ew from local aircraft carriers.

It was not long before Admiral Bull Halsey asked for 50 volunteers but didn’t say what the jobs were to be; Lee quickly volunteered. Soon he was on the USS President Hayes , accompanied by a tanker carrying thousands of gallons of fuel, and a destroyer, heading for the Guadacanal in the Soloman Islands. On the way as they passed San Cristobal Island, Lee remembers how the sky lit up, parachute fl ares descended and Japanese planes attacked. Their ship was not hit; however 7 Japanese planes were shot down. Lee received a Navy Commendation Medal for this battle.

Lee remembers life in the jungle on Guadacanal with

the First Marines. There were thousands of Japanese there and the US troops were bombed every day and night. The trenches and foxholes were often full of water and he contracted malaria. He was so sick that he has little memory about that year. However, he does remember on his way back to the states his ship was hit by a typhoon and 60 foot waves.

In May 1944, he was granted leave and returned to South Dakota. Soon after he and Lennice were married Lee was assigned to Alameda Naval Station where he was a Flight Test Inspector. Every plane that left the station was inspected and fl ight tested.

Lee spent six years on active duty with the Navy before becoming a Navy Recruiter in Spokane, WA. He was discharged in 1963. Six months later he joined the US Air

Force as a Flight Engineer for 4 years. Lee and Lennice have been married 68 years. They have

2 children, 2 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. They moved to Arizona in 1980 where they organized a 15 piece orchestra, The Melo-Tones - performing for 30 years. In 1995, Lee and Lennice moved to SVE where they have been active volunteering with the pancake breakfasts and are members of the dance committee.

Lee served his country for over a quarter of a century and still played the music he loved. We thank you, Lee!

Chapel Notes Pastor Richard Koerselman

Some prayers we only hear in churches. But others make it into the malls and marketplaces of everyday life. The Serenity Prayer is such a prayer.

It is painted on walls, printed on posters and etched on key chain tags. It is a part of our culture. It reads like this:

God grant me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept those things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The fi rst phrase urges the supplicant to take courage and change things, but quickly the petition to change is softened with the words, “to accept the things that cannot be changed,” all followed with a call for wisdom “to know the difference.”

It truly is a serenity prayer; it gives peace to the troubled mind. The prayer calls on the petitioner to sort out the possible from the impossible and work on changing the possible and let the impossible be.

The problem is what we have come to know as the Serenity Prayer is less than half of the original prayer. In its original form it was an empowering prayer that encouraged a “never give up” attitude. Here is the rest of the prayer as penned by Christian theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr:

Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever.

The greater part of the prayer is a call to accept the pain in life, to accept the world as it is, and then trusting God to straighten things out. Surrendering to God’s will is one of the most diffi cult things we can do. The prayer cautions us that we should not set our expectations too high, but “to be reasonably happy in this life.” But then comes the great promise - to be “supremely happy with Him forever.” I like the complete prayer better than just the fi rst half because it is more realistic about life and it is also more empowering. In addition, its calls on the power of God which is really what prayer is all about.

The complete Serenity Prayer is a prayer of courage not a Rolaid prayer for quick relief. To live in this world takes courage, not just a cerebral realization that all will be well. Meditate on all of this prayer and you will fi nd the strength and courage you need to face the many challenges of life that come your way.

SECURITY BRIEFS Mariellen Moore

Taking a different approach, it is important that you have a few facts regarding an incident which occurred on property. A cyclist, out after dark, was struck by a vehicle and was seriously injured. The police were called and an ambulance took the individual to the hospital where he remained unconscious. He lived alone and was carrying no identifi cation. The full time Security Offi cer for SVE was not on duty that night and on his next shift, Rich Gordon was able to piece together enough information to determine the man’s identity. His neighbors concurred and his family was notifi ed. The outcome was good and he is now home and recuperating.

Certainly this could never happen to you! Just as a precaution, please take note of a few cycling safety tips.

Wear light color clothing when cycling in the dark – the SVE Jacket is perfect

Use lights and refl ectorsCarry some form of identifi cationRegister your bicycle with the Mesa Police Department.

If the bicycle was registered, identifi cation by police would have been immediate.

No, I haven’t forgotten. The score is 32 homes and 15 condos with garage doors open this month.

Be safe.

THANK YOUHere’s a big warm hug and thank you to the North Pool 10:00

a.m. exercise group for the great luncheon we had in January. Once again, you outdid yourselves. Special thanks to Nancy and Jeri for handling all the arrangements. The meal was excellent, the table decorations were perfect and the gift and card are much appreciated. And yes, you really “socked” it to me this time!!Judy Janousek

My daughter and I wish to thank all of our friends and neighbors in SVE for their prayers, calls, cards, food, and other acts of kindness shown at the time of the passing of our beloved husband and father Joe Gallagher. Thanks Again! Bert & Debbie Gallagher

THANK YOUThank you all for your prayers, phone calls, emails,

cards, fl owers, food, and goodies sent my way after my hip replacement. This is a wonderful place to live with so many caring people. A person can’t help but get better. Your care was much appreciated. Thank YouMary Jo Courtright

Fauvette and Bill Decker celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at the Friday Jam Session on December 28, 2012. Cake, ice cream and coffee were enjoyed by the many friends, and dancers, who attended.

Happy Anniversary

MANAGER’S KORNERWinter Residents - Are you aware you need to complete

a VACATION WATCH FORM? It’s extremely important the SVE HOA offi ce has this form on fi le. The form provides us a current phone number and address where you can be reached when you are not at Sunland Village East. Additionally, all residents should have a caretaker for their property when they are away. The form has a place for their name, phone number, and address.

Your home is as important to us as it is to you. The weather in Arizona during the summer months can be quite volatile, i.e. dust storms, wind and rain. Don’t leave anything to chance. Please fi nd a caretaker – a family member or a neighbor that you can trust to watch your home while you are away, and call you if there is an emergency.

When our Security Guard makes his “rounds” every night, he takes the “security book” with him. The “security book” contains the VACATION WATCH Forms. If there is something wrong with your home/condo – he will look for your form in the security book and contact you or your caretaker immediately. If you have not completed one, it could take several days before we contact you to resolve the problem with your home.

The VACATION WATCH FORM doesn’t necessarily apply to just our long term winter residents. Any time you are away from your home for a long weekend, or extended vacation – you should fi ll out this form. You never know when something will happen to your property and we need to contact you. The “Vacation Watch Form” is located in the SVE HOA offi ce. Please stop by and complete one before you leave.

ATTENTION WINTER RESIDENTS

BEFORE YOU HEAD NORTH for the summer…..Please stop by the SVE HOA offi ce and complete the

“VACATION WATCH FORM.” This form lets us know how to contact you in case of an emergency with your home/condo. We will need a current phone number(s) and a summer address where you can be reached. Don’t forget you should also have caretaker for your SVE home. There is a place on the form for you to fi ll out this information – the name, address and phone of your caretaker. Of course, you should make sure they are available to watch your property while you are gone.

And when you return….Please stop by the offi ce and complete the “Notifi cation of Return” form. Have a wonderful summer.

Minutes from the February 7, 2013 Study Session Meeting were approved as submitted.

TREASURER’S REPORT- Ed ZarrBoard Treasurer ED Zarr made the following statement: “We recently had Michael Ginsburg, the Association’s

Auditor review the current fi nancial statements for accuracy. We wanted to be sure there were no issues we should deal with prior to sending him the information he will need to prepare tax returns. Mr. Ginsburg informed me that there are, in fact, a number of issues and he will have to resolve them before he prepares the 2012 tax returns. As a result we will not have January Financials ready for a few weeks”

ARCHITECTURAL REPORT-Roy BraunburgerBoard Member/ACC Committee Chairman Roy

Braunburger made a motion that the following 2012 ACC Committee Members be appointed to the 2013 ACC Committee: Dave Hughes, Diane Werth (ACC Committee Secretary), Earlene Bolda, Gary Burnham, Kay Burnham, Jack Grove, Louise Grove, Jim Mayberry and Curt Davis. MOTION PASSED: Unanimously

Board Member/ACC Committee Chairman Roy Braunburger presented the following Monthly Summary Report for the Month of January 2013:

The ACC Committee received fourteen (14) requests for architectural approvals. Thirteen (13) were approved.

The ACC Committee was notifi ed of the following CC & R violations: Three (3) First Violations, One (1) Second Violation

MANAGER REPORT- Dick SchinkeCompleted Items:The installation of the video and sound system in the

Palo Verde Building has been completed. The day after completion there was a memorial service in that building and the sound was perfect.

I inspected the newly planted trees after the fi rst freeze and found them all to be alive. The Sisso trees have lost their leaves, but new leaves will come again.

Work in Progress:The prices we have received for replacement of our security

cameras have ranged from $7,000 to $16,000. We had been told that the current system, which is inoperable, cannot be repaired and since it is so old, we should simply replace it. However, we found that the cameras are good cameras and probably work. Consequently, we have decided to look for a company who can get into the system and determine if we can, in fact, make repairs.

We collected 5 more skunks and had them removed. We had received notice from 3 neighbors who all own small dogs that a coyote appeared to be “stalking” the dogs when they were let out in the backyards. We asked Joe DeWolf to try and catch this coyote and remove him. We were informed that coyotes that get very bold need to be removed. Joe stated that this coyote was eventually going to get one of the dogs if we didn’t do something. Joe set a cable trap but the coyote recognized the trap. At one point, Joe had the coyote cornered and nearly chased him down. However, the coyote was too fast for him and got away.

Miscellaneous:We continue to look at ways to become more effi cient and

have been very successful. When one of our maintenance staff quit, Wayne and I decided to replace him with a part time person. The staff all agreed that they could continue to

do their job with a part time man. This has worked and we will save $13,250 per year. In addition Wayne has trained all of our crew how to rebuild pool pumps and perform some major pool repairs. As a result, we are using outside contractors less. I believe we have an excellent group of dedicated people on staff, and I am proud of them.

The Pickleball proposals are included with the Board Packet and will be discussed at the meeting.

PRESIDENTS REPORT-Wyn OlsonBoard President Wyn Olson made a statement thanking the

previous Board for their efforts and asked all former Board Members in the audience to stand and be recognized.

South Complex Fitness/Wellness Center Ground Breaking

The Fitness/Wellness Center Committee has been moving forward with getting this Center built and equipped. The Fitness/Wellness Center architect plans and mechanical drawings have been moving through the building permit process. This should be completed by the fi rst week in March. We are planning a Ground Breaking Ceremony for Friday, March 8, for the SVE Fitness/Wellness Center, contingent upon receiving our permit; beginning at 11:30, run, walk, or bike to the Mesa Verde Patio area for this celebration. Refreshments will be provided. Mark your calendars to come and celebrate our new building for our active adult community.

The equipment committee’s proposal has been approved by the SVE Board of Directors. A deposit has been made to secure the pricing prior to increases in January. The bulletin board outside the SVE Offi ce has a diagram with a legend of where and what equipment we have proposed. Please check it out. The equipment will be ordered about two months prior to the completion of the building. The SVE Board of Directors will determine the contracts for what we purchase and what we lease. We are looking forward to getting the building done and well equipped for the SVE residents.

Several generous residents have already made donations for the new Fitness/Wellness Center. We have received over $2,400. If you would like to make a voluntary contribution, it can be made in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special person. Checks can be made out to the SVE Fitness Club. We are preparing plaques to place in the new facility to recognize these contributions. The Fitness Club has been formed to help educate residents on the use of the new equipment and manage contributions for the new Fitness/Wellness Center. We signed up a lot of members for the Fitness Club at the “Discover Your Neighborhood” event and the Pancake Breakfast. We plan on having sign-up sheets at t he next Pancake Breakfast. Please join us. We want to thank all of you for your support.

Mike and Sue, Greg and Tammy you will be missed a lot but we only wish you happiness in your move into a house nearby. Our street was enhanced by all your efforts and only hope that others will follow your examples.

Our street was brand new in 1992 and a few of us still do love our street but we have lost so many great neighbors as we age and fade away. One special man we all appreciated knowing has left our world back in North Dakota. Allan Campbell will be so missed by us all. Phyllis has her memories of a marriage lasting 65 years.

We must caution the men in our lives to take better care as perhaps the widows will have to be running the world soon. Ha? May the future keep all owners happy they can live on Laguna Azul.

We have a great social committee who spent hours preparing and decorating for our recent party. They report that they sold 149 tickets but sadly there were some empty tables. The food tables were loaded with tasty dishes and everyone was smiling. So good to see Sandi with us and smiling as she usually is. Don’t forget the last party of the season March 19 in the auditorium. Let’s support that great fun committee.

Golf One Condo NewsBy Bev Abbott

It is March already, and our January Social and February Golf Tournament and Pot Luck are behind us. I would like to thank Alice and Harvey Hawes, Sharon Tripp, Sally Kiem, and Karen Warman for their assistance in the January Social and Pudge and Pat Soderberg and their crew for organizing the Golf Tournament and Pot Luck that followed.

This month we have our Ice Cream Social March 17th at 2:00 pm at the Oakwood Room chaired by Sally and Dick Kiem. Remember all these socials are chaired by your friends and neighbors. It takes all of us, workers and participants to make these successful. This month is also our annual Condo Association Meeting on March 20th at 1:30 pm. There will be coffee and refreshments. Please come and be a voice in our association.

Library News Loretta Wellman

The “Discover Your Neighborhood” event held in January was a success and of course, our library was one of the attractions. The weather didn’t cooperate but still a lot of people attended the event in the auditorium. In our library from 8am to 1pm, about 20 people came into library despite heavy rain, to pick up a book or use the wi-fi system for their laptops. We’ve been receiving donations of some great Non-Fiction and History books, so we welcome you to stop by.

For those of you who enjoy historical novels, one of my favorite authors is Ken Follett. Writing the second book of his Century Trilogy, “The Winter of the World”, Follett continues with the descendants of interrelated families from England, United States, Russia, Wales and Germany. This second book begins with the rise of the Third Reich through the Spanish Civil War and World War II. We all know about the horrors of World War II, but the area covered about the discovery of Hitler’s death facility for the mentally ill and handicapped was chilling and hard to believe, but true.

COUPLES GOLF Bob Abbott

The Couples Club would like to welcome new members Gerry & Debbie Fish from Kelowna, BC, Canada.

This has been a very exciting month for the Couples Club. We had our SUPER BOWL PARTY on February 1st. Everyone enjoyed the events we sponsored for the game and the winners were presented the prizes on February 8th. All of the winners claimed they won by SKILL ONLY and that LUCK had nothing to do with their success. It’s just like golf luck has nothing to do with success.

We held our Couples Valentine Dinner/Dance on February 15th. Music was provided by “The Chauffers”. Mel’s provided the great meal, again. Everyone had a great time. We would like to thank the Social Committee of Peg Schell, Connie Binfet, Judy Abraham, Barb Mack, Ardis Golay, Sandy Ash, Sandy Buck & Pat Haugestuen for all of the hard work they do to make these events so successful. Be sure to let them know your appreciation.

We have a Pot Luck Dinner scheduled for 3-8-13. Our Couples Golf Championship Tournament is scheduled to start on 3-1-13 with the 2nd round to be 3-8-13. Good Luck to everyone. The Awards Banquet is on March 29th.

We have our regular social hour every Friday at 5pm. Be sure to be there by 4:45 or you are late in “Retirement Time”. Bring a snack to share and your favorite beverage.

TENNIS TALKJim Laframboise

Hang on to your visor! It is March Madness time at the tennis courts, so get ready to rock and roll. The scene opens to thunderous applause, echoing forth from the spectators at the Championship at SVE Tournament. Be THERE to marvel over fantastic tennis matches, played by teams from all over the East Valley. You will be mesmerized by cannonball serves, exhilarating volleys and fast-paced ground strokes. Good grief, I haven’t moved that fast since I was delivering newspapers when I was fourteen years old; and being chased down the street by a mean Pit Bull. Instead of delivering newspapers, I would much rather be at the Tournament; indulging in mouth-watering brats, walking tacos, tasty egg-salad sandwiches and topped off with a giant piece of carrot cake. M-m-m-m good.

Everyone is invited, you don’t have to be a Tennis Club member to enjoy the action, so come on over and join the fun.

Of course, we all know it takes a lot of volunteers and a tremendous amount of work to pull off a successful tournament. But with everyone’s participation, we do a fantastic job as a Club. Opportunities abound for you to demonstrate your talents, so get over to the courts to sign up for your favorite labor of love. This superb event runs from March 11th to 16th. You won’t want to miss a minute of the excitement.

The following two weeks will see the Mixed Doubles Tournament at Sunland Springs, from March 18th to 23rd, followed by the Team Tournament at Monte Vista, from March 25th to 30th. It’s just a super three weeks of tennis. But in the excitement of it all, don’t forget to attend the Tennis Club meeting at 3:00 p.m. in the Oakwood Room on Thursday, March 7th for lots of important information.

SEE YOU AT THE TENNIS COURTS!

FRIDAY MORNING PING PONG

Every Friday (except when we get pre-empted by another event) from now until June, a bunch of us meet to play ping pong. Some people call it Table Tennis. We play in the Palo Verde Building, Oakwood Room from 10 am until Noon. All of Sunland Village East is invited to join us.

Nearly all of us played ping pong when we were kids. It’s like riding a bicycle. You don’t forget how. Some of us are pretty good and get very rigorous workout. Some are happy to merely return the ball. Nevertheless, we have fun and improve our eye-hand coordination.

Just show up and join in the fun. We don’t collect dues or have a real organization. Bring your own paddle or use one of ours. We have plenty of paddles, a couple of very good tables and lots of balls.

If you have questions, call Gene Trust at 373-6052, but he can’t tell you much more than what has already been said above.

SVE BOOK CLUB Nancy L. Wisness

The February selection for the SVE Book Club was “The Dressmaker of Khair Khana,” by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon. Many books have been written about the harsh conditions women in Afghanistan had to suffer during the Taliban rule. This story documents the true story of Kamila Sidiqi, who built a successful business at a time when women were strictly prohibited from working. When her father and brother were forced to fl ee their hometown, Kamila had to quickly fi nd a way to provide for her siblings. What she decided to do was to work discreetly as a seamstress. Without any sewing skills, she fi rst had to travel to another part of town for sewing lessons and later had to make several trips to the local bazaar to secretly inquire about selling her dresses.

The original plan involved only the Sidiqi sisters from their home. As orders increased, so did the demand for more workers. Soon word got out about the business, and women from all over town came knocking on their door. What had started out as Kamila’s idea to feed her own family and provide them an income, turned into a source of hope for other women in the community. This book is an inspiring, uplifting story about one women’s extraordinary courage and ingenuity in the face of adversity. One interesting twist to the story was when a rush order of six dresses for a

wedding (due in one day) turned out to be for a Taliban wedding. So while Kamila was being discreet about her business, the Taliban were also discreet about patronizing her work.

Join us on Tuesday, March 5 at 10:00 am in the Saguaro Room where members are encouraged to review a book they

have recently read.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST Ed Malone

WOW! We had 675 guests, the BEST showing of this season. The line wrapped around the auditorium. We thank you for your patience. Counting the staff we served over 700 and did not run out of anything. Our contribution to the SVE General Fund was over $1511.00. Your continued support of the Pancake Breakfast helps keep down SVE costs and is really money in your pocket.

SPECIAL THANKS to all of our Volunteers. They did a yeoman’s job of caring for our guests. We were short 10 – 12 volunteers in the dining room and a few in the kitchen. You are the BEST!

If you are still “Young at Heart” come join the best volunteer team in all of Mesa.

RED HAT SOCIETYJan Varner

We want to thank Group #5 of our Red Hat Ladies who sponsored our January 23 Tea and hosted an omelet breakfast catered by 5 Star Pizza. Members were able to choose various additions to their egg omelet. This is always a special treat!

We were advised we could wear pajamas, so many of our members came in their pajamas. After a parade around the Mesa Verde Room, prizes were awarded to the most original pajamas. This was a lot of fun and brought many smiles and laughter.

A Red Hat clothing/accessories sale was held the same day. This a time to get rid of what you don’t need, but a great time to buy some very nice things to add to our Red Hat wardrobe and add some more hats to our collection

Some of our ladies aren’t here during their birthday month, so we recognize them during the winter months. This month was birthdays for the month of January & July.

Each group told of their outing for the month and gave news of any of their members being ill. Then we can send a card or give them a call.

Ruth read some stories and advised members of upcoming events in SVE. The last Tea was February 27.

We meet every 4th Wednesday of the month in the Mesa Verde Room at 9:30 am. Guests are most welcome. Everyone brings their own cup and a teabag to enjoy the tasty refreshments provided by one group. For more information, please call Ruth Weston at 480-247-9928.

Sunland StitchersA Valentine’s pizza party was enjoyed by over 50

members of our Sunland East quilting group along with some entertainment and everyone was given a copy of a collection of recipes we have been compiling for the last year. We have spent the last month enjoying a variety of classes taught by our own members. Our weekly “show and tell” is very inspiring for quilters of all levels. Wednesdays continue to be our “sew, eat and laugh day” while we work on charity quilts beginning at 12:30 in the Oakwood Room. This month, in March, we are busy preparing for the craft show on the 16th and then our own quilt show on the 23rd. We have two raffl e quilts and our display of quilts made by our members is worth dropping by to enjoy. All quilters experienced or new, are welcome to come to the Oakwood Room on Mondays at 12:30 and check out who we are and what we do.

SUNRUNNERS RV CLUB

Mylla O’DellTwelve Sunrunners departed from the Mesa Verde Room

on January 26th to go to the beautiful Catalina State Park in Tucson. The plan was to have hors d’oevres and drinks outside, but the weather did not cooperate so the Maskers opened up their RV for us. Our hostess, Shirley Watkins, provided a scrumptious dessert.

The next morning we had breakfast at the San Carlos Grill, followed by a day at Old Tucson. We took in all the shows, including the best rope twirler/whip snapper we have ever seen. He was amazing! Also saw shoot-outs, stuntmen, and a fun cave. Our women campers were very happy because we ate dinner out EVERY night!!

Breakfast the next day was at a great place called Sunny Side Up. We then headed to Sabino Canyon where we were to have a 90-minute tram tour. However, the weather interfered again – cold, rainy, and windy so we elected not to go at that time. Therefore, we went on to DeGrazia Gallery for a guided tour. It is interesting that they change their exhibits from time to time, so those of us who had been there before saw something new - having a guide was very helpful. Some of us decided to go back and try the tram tour when the rain let up, and others did their own thing, such as a movie or shopping.

Keeping to our busy schedule, on Tuesday the group headed out to Biosphere 2. Again, we had a guided tour and heard all about the original experiment as well as what they are doing now. We saw the apartments that the original people lived in, the tropical rain forest, the ocean area, and the “lungs”. Very interesting!!

We want to give a big thank you to Shirley and Ron Watkins for being the wagon masters on this trip. It was a wonderful four days. To all of you with RV’s who are not members of our club (membership is only $10 per couple per year), doesn’t this sound like fun? Why not come to one of our meetings on the fi rst Tuesday of each month October through April at 3 pm at the Mesa Verde Room? We think you’ll like what you see!

SVE VETERANS CLUB Helen Bittman

The Sunland Village East Veterans Club will meet on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 in the auditorium at 4:30 pm for social time, 5:00 pm for the business meeting. A pot luck meal will be provided by the club members, with dessert furnished by the club. After completion of the business meeting, entertainment for March will be Maureen Patterson, (vocalist from the Swinging Resorters). The entertainment is provided through the donations of dues of $7.00 per person, per season.

All Veterans and Spouses are welcome.

WoodshopThe Woodshop is open every weekday from 9 am until

noon, and from 1pm to 4 pm until the end of March. The next monthly Woodshop Meeting is at 10:30 am in the Rosewood Room on Tuesday, March 5.

The four lathes are the most popular machines in the Woodshop. If they continue to be so heavily utilized, we’ll soon need to fi nd room for another -- or initiate a sign-up sheet to allow everyone a time slot on the ones we have.

We sold our 10-year old Delta table saw, which netted the Woodshop a few hundred dollars, and defrayed a bit over 20 percent of the cost of our new Powermatic table saw.

Earl Burdick is craftsman of the month for February. He is a prodigious, talented, and innovative woodturner, and inspires the rest of us to try new things. He has recently added engravings on his woodturnings, which add a new dimension of interest. Here is his latest, a mesquite pencil holder with an American Bison engraving.

Computer Club Bits and BytesBeverly Selvage

The Photo Show will be March 3rd in the Oakwood Room. Come and see the beautiful photos and vote for the one that you like best.

All classes will continue for the month of March so sign up before the 9 am meeting. Elvin Shaw is back with his beginner’s classes. Be sure to come early enough as you can’t sign in while the meeting is in session. There is a new Windows 8 video

training class, which will be held two days a week for 2 hours Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 pm - fee of $20.00. Bring your own laptop because following each video section will be hands on experience with your own computer.

Art Club members have been busy with water colors, colored pencil, porcelain painting and mixed media in the Art Room. Check the Art Room schedule posted outside the door for days and times.

We are all working on our art projects for the upcoming Art and Craft Fair on Saturday, March 16th. We will again be up on the stage. This time we will have many different medias, from pencil, coffee and charcoal, pen and ink, to watercolor and colored pencils. Our mixed media class hopes to put some of their work in the show, too. We will have some of our class students demonstrating. So come on over and enjoy the artwork from friends and neighbors.

Our January meeting was fun and new offi cers were voted in for the coming year. Elin Dumney is our new president; Ruth Hood will serve as president for June-October and Pauline Bergman for November thru December; Secretary is Karen Warman, and Treasurer is Barb Reinsch.

The pen and ink with coffee wash drawing you see here is by Lela Hanson. See you all at the Spring Art Fair on Saturday March 16th!

DOGS ‘R US

Leisure World Chordsmen

The Chordsmen are a Barbershop chorus of fi fty men strong singing the old songs acappella. Our choir is from 28 or more parks/communities including Sunland Village East and our winter choir is made up of a lot of snow birds. We meet at Leisure World every Monday morning from 9 am till noon. Get hooked on the music and join our choir. The Leisure World Chordsmen will be performing in the SVE Auditorium on March 18th at 7 pm. Come and enjoy the show.

L. Paulsen“Ready” a Basenji,

beloved pet of Janice Tobacco and her father, Ed. I adopted Readymade after losing my tri-color Basenji, Stormy. I hoped it would ease the pain of losing Stormy, as my mother was devastated. We went to Basenji Rescue and Transport (B.R.A.T.)

where the lady brought out several Basenjis, but they just ignored us. I was looking for a 3-5 year old dog. She said she had a dog named Readymade who was 6 going on 7. As we were leaving, an older couple came to adopt her, but she was already ours. They knew about her as she was a show dog, but in my home she was just a loved pet, and I called her B.R.A.T. Readymade turned 16 years old on January 7. She started to

have seizures again after being seizure free for 2 years. Meds did not help, so, because I loved her so much I helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge into doggy heaven where I now she is healthy once again, and playing with Lightning, my fi rst Basenji, and Stormy. Janice Tobacco

Short Story: “On the death of his beloved pet, a six year old once said: “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

Our speaker on February 4, Dr. Kristen Nelson, told of the many health benefi ts of owning a pet. They have been known to give warnings of illness to their owners. The February 4 edition of the Arizona Republic reported that canines, with a security offi cer, make the rounds at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa. They reportedly have a calming effect in stressful situations.

Our next meeting will be March 16, 9:30 am social, 10:00 am meeting in the Mesa Verde Room.
