Message From Sue Activity Director and Editor

Here we are my dear Silveridge family– right in the middle of our busy season. As I write my letter to you I am filled with love and appreciation to you for your generous support of all our entertainment. The “Dancing With the Stars” concert has just performed and we are all overwhelmed with the caliber of per-formance of the dancers -and didn’t our own Silveridge Stars do great? Congratulations to all 6 of our per-formers and thank you for setting the pace for our future Dancing Stars! (mark your calendars for Jan 22, 2015) It is gratifying to hear your compliments on the entertainment. It is the favorite part of my job! I book most of our entertainment the season before, so to see the entertainment finally happen is exciting! I am approached by numerous entertainers who want to come to our park. I do not book anyone without either first seeing them in person or -if they have been referred by you. Please let me know if you have seen an entertainer that you would like to see perform. I am already working on next season and just you wait– it gets better every year! Scheduling rooms and events is a big part of my job and as I look at my calendars I am amazed that we get it all in! Every year some talented residents will volunteer their time and teach a new class. This year I have added a Ladies Fashion show for all of us ladies. The Variety Show will be on March 7th. Thanks to Armand Gagnier for organizing it. Thank you to Karen Staker and Betty Shanley for planning the bi-annual Anniver-sary Party. I know you all appreciated your free 5x7 photo. Not only do I have my calendars at work but also at home. I keep my calendar on the side of the refrigerator to remind me of not just the Silveridge events but also my personal events as well. On the front of the fridge are pictures of my family, quotes, shopping lists, etc. The other day I took down all my Christmas photos of my family and friends. Some of our friends we only hear from at Christmas but what a blessing to hear from them again. It brings back precious memories of times past. Of course the current school pictures of the Grandkids take center stage. And then the magnet beside their pictures that says “ How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” There is also a picture of Italy– Everyone needs to have a bucket– list reminder! Every day I see this hodgepodge of pictures and items plastered on the refrigerator and not given much thought. Yet every single thing-every photo, magnet and note-is a reminder of God’s love in my full busy life. It also re-aligns my soul as I try to keep a balance between work and my personal life. Every inch of the front of Mom’s refrigerator is plastered with old photos of all of her children and yet every so often there is new photo sandwiched in between some older ones. Memories are a gift and there’s always room for more.

As we enjoy our precious time we have left here on earth as well here at Silveridge, I encourage you to keep your calendar full, not just with activities but also dates to have personal time with your friends. I talk to many of you who have come back to Silveridge after leaving for different reasons and you say that you missed the people and you just had to come back to see your friends! (and maybe the warm weather too!) While your making memories why not attend the Art Journaling class or join the Camera Club and take some pictures to cover your refrigerator. You may even win an award in the Photography Contest!

So my dear friends make the most of your time here and remember there’s always room for more!

Our new theater has proven to be a big hit with all of you and so many are enjoying the free movies and popcorn and all the sports. A big thank you to Gary Bryant #480-221-9263 who helps with the movies, Ron Dates #315-569-0970 who helps with sports and Marv Hundertmark # 480-217-3525 with the popcorn - and all the

movie operators and popcorn makers. Please see these key people if you would like to volunteer for learning how to run the projector or make popcorn. This is our first full season we have been able to use the theater, a few things have been tweaked. *** Many have asked for another night movie. I have added Friday evening 7:00pm. The Monday, Wednes-day, Friday movies at 1:00 remain the same and also Gary’s Saturday night Special at 7:00pm. Monday and Wednesday movies are the same movie. Fridays and Gary’s Sat. night Special may or may not change. Check the marquee, activity boards or your in park cable for times and listings. *** Because there are many sports games going on a few rules have been established. 1) The theater cannot be reserved for a private party for a sports game. Anyone can watch any games– Only the

BIG SCREEN can be reserved and only if it is a majority of people (over 6) The 8 side televisions are avail-able (without sound) to watch any other games that may be playing at the same time.

2) Please see me if you want to reserve the sports Big Screen for a game. I try to accommodate everyone with their requests but with more residents in the park at this time of the year please be understanding You may book a private party if it is not during the time of a movie or a previously booked sport event. It is a good idea to book early!

3) I am planning on a few outdoor concerts at the theater when the weather warms up. I will keep you posted. 4) If you have visiting guests they are welcome to come but they must be accompanied by you ( the resident.) 5) If you have a private party 90% of the participants must live in the park. 6) Out of park guests may rent the theater at $250.00 for 4 hours, $50.00 for each hour after, and a $500.00

deposit paid in advance. (as set by the Home office)
