DID YOU KNOW? NEW reminders each month.:

June

If you happen to see a key left behind in

one of the mailboxes, don’t just remove

the key and bring it to the

office. Instead, make a note of the

mailbox number before bringing it to the

office. I can then get the correct address

and name from the mailman to notify

the resident of the lost key.

Please remind your visiting guests with

pets that it is necessary to pick up the

excrement. Never walk your dog

without keeping a baggie handy for

pickups!

For those who use the RV lot, please

remember to lock the gate behind you

after entering or when leaving the

lot. There are many expensive RV’s,

boats and other items which could be

stolen.

When calling the automated number for

the gate, there is sometimes interference

on the line that causes the system to not

recognize your number and ask for a

security code. If this happens, you can

hang up and try calling again. It will

sometimes correct itself and recognize

your number. However, if this does not

work, you must call the office (326-

8007) to verify that the phone numbers

in the system are correct and obtain a

security code.

Thank You from Debra Davis, LCAM

and Rosemarie Paeth, 326-8007

consider donating those extras to the Food

Bank. Just bring them to the Rec Center, and deposit

them in the bin. Thank You!

Before you leave for the summer, please make

arrangements for lawn maintenance, including

mowing, weeding, and treating. Those of us who

remain here year round thank you.

If you’ll be gone during hurricane season, secure your

home and remove any outside furniture or other items

that might blow away or cause damage in a heavy wind.

PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE COLLECTION SUSPENDED

I want to thank each and every person that contributed their

empty prescription bottles over the past year or so. I have

processed, and will be sending, over 1,000 of them to our

medical mission in Uganda that is supported by Blessed

Sacrament Catholic Church in Clermont. The bottles will be

used, instead of twists of paper or envelopes, to dispense

prescription medications safely, protecting both the drugs

and the children in the homes from accidental ingestion.

Already, donations from last year are in Uganda being used

in the hospital facilities at Our Lady of the Sick in

Kambala. May God bless all who have helped in this effort.

I will start the program up again in the late fall of 2016.

PRECINCT DATE TIME PLACE

No Meetings this month.

Note: MR = Rec Center Meeting Room, GH= Great Hall

Precinct Meetings DEBRA’S CORNER Community Association Manager

Good day Royal Highlands residents.

Today I spent the morning riding around this beautiful

community on a golf cart doing my periodic inspections.

During my travels I found beautiful homes, well maintained

to include: fresh paint, clean roofs, clean driveways (the

pavers that some of you have are so pretty), manicured lawns

that are green and thriving, plants, trees, and shrubs trimmed

and looking picture perfect, edging around the sidewalks,

driveways, curb, and yard decorations that compliment your

landscape! Kudos to those of you who have those picture

perfect homes/lawns. I believe we need to start a lawn of the

month. It may be difficult to decide on the winner, but I

think it would be a great idea.

For those of you reading this, you may realize that maybe

your home is in need of painting, pressure washing, new

roof, driveway cleaning, or your lawn needs WATER (found

quite a few homes need irrigation), maintenance of the lawn,

landscape beds, etc. Please help us in keeping your property

in good condition.

Reminders:

Shred box is at the mail kiosk

Please do not allow dogs to use the bathroom in your

neighbor’s yard even if you clean up. The grass

becomes discolored in the areas where the dog goes.

Please put yard trimmings out late Sunday or early

Monday morning the day of pick up. Please do not put

them out too early. It is not very attractive laying at the

street.

If you get mail in your mailbox that is not yours, please

take to the rightful owner or give it to the Post person, or

put it in the outgoing mailbox.

Can anyone tell me what the speed limit is in Royal

Highlands? EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER

TO THIS QUESTION!!! If you are the first person to call

me and tell me, you win a prize, [352-326-8344]. Next

month there will be another question from me. Stay on the

lookout. Until next time,

Debra Davis, LCAM, 352-326-8344

Comcast Bulk TV and Internet Communications On March 22, 2016 the RH Technology Committee presented its recommendation to the RHPOA Fi-

nance Committee to fund the negotiated Comcast Bulk Communications Proposal. It was passed by a

unanimous vote.

On March 30, 2016 the RH Technology Committee presented its recommendation to the RHPOA

Board of Directors to accept and move forward with the negotiated Comcast Bulk Communications

Proposal. It was passed by an 11-0 vote.

At this point, we only have a PROPOSAL from Comcast. Nothing will happen until we receive a written contract from Com-

cast, it is reviewed by the RHPOA attorneys, and the contract is approved and signed by the RHPOA Board of Directors.

The date we can start this contract will be determined by the amount of the marketing fee received from Comcast. HOA fees

cannot be increased until January, 2017. If we start earlier than that date, the board has approved paying for the increased

fees from the marketing fee. The RH Technology Committee anticipates starting the contract on or about July 15, 2106.

At this point, there is nothing to do but wait.

The RH Technology Committee will post updates as they become available on the RH webpage, in the Happenings and in

the Rec Center. Watch these locations for updated status on the pending contract.

Once we have a signed contract and a starting date is determined, residents will have a 90 day window to sign up for FREE

installations. The dates will be posted on the webpage and in the Rec Center.

Actual installations do not have to occur within that 90 day period, but residents must sign up during that period.

Snowbirds may sign up while they are up north (during that 90 day window) and have their installation completed when they

return to Royal Highlands. If you are out of town when the final dates are set, we will provide a phone number to call to

schedule your install.

If residents do not schedule their installations within the 90 day period they may be charged the prevailing installation fees.

Comcast will be on premises for scheduling and equipment pickup for those wanting to self-install.

The RH Technology Committee will be running articles in the Happenings and posting on the webpage topics that will help

with the implementation of the new contract.

To get the most up-to-date information about the pending contract visit the RH Webpage à http://royalhighlandspoa.com.

Look on the Popup page or go to the RH Technology Committee page at Menu à Board à Committee Agendas, Minutes,

Reports à Technology Committee. 459-0311, [email protected]

NEW COMCAST ESCALATION PROCEDURE Comcast has provided Royal Highlands with a new

Community Account Representative, Donna Marie Benson.

She was introduced in an article in January’s Happenings.

To report any issues with Comcast service, please contact

Comcast’s Bulk Call Center at [877-834-6757].

If, after you have contacted Comcast to report your issue, you

continue to have recurring unresolved issues, you may request

a special Escalation to have the issue resolved. Your

unresolved issue can be related to Comcast’s Cable TV,

Internet, or Phone service.

Escalation may only be initiated by RHPOA management.

To request Escalation for an unresolved reported problem,

stop by the RHPOA office to pick up a form or get the form

from the webpage, complete the Escalation form, then give

the completed form to the RHPOA office. You will have to

provide what steps you have taken to resolve the issue on

your own before escalation can occur. The RHPOA office

staff will then escalate your problem to a special Comcast

Center and track your issue.

Instructions on how to contact Comcast’s Customer Care

Center and copy of the escalation form are available on the

webpage under the Resources, Documents, Choose Category,

Comcast Documents. RH Technology Committee, [email protected]

TELEPHONE SERVICE

CHOICES

Choosing the best telephone these days isn't as easy as it

was in the day when your choices were rotary or that fancy

new touch tone one. Today, we have many choices such

as; land lines, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and

cellular. Did you know that you can even have a set of

cordless phones around your house that will pick up your

calls coming in on your cell phone? These options and

more are explained in an article on the RH website, on the

pop-up screen, under the link for the Comcast contract.

Also included is important information regarding 911. So

log on to read all about telephone options and if you don't

have a login, go to the website to register for one, it's

easy. www.royalhighlandspoa.com

CHRISTIAN BOOKS NEEDED

Reading is extremely important to the women housed at the Lake

County Jail. Everything has been taken from them including

their cell phones. So they can’t be phoning or texting family and

friends, playing games, or surfing the Internet. There is one

television in each pod, but it is set to the channel that the

corrections officer has chosen. Even if it is set to something a

woman wants to see, it may not be possible to hear it with all of

the other activity in the pod. Therefore with time on their hands

and not much to do, reading becomes very important. This is a

perfect opportunity to provide good quality Christian material for

them to fill their minds with.

Many, if not most, of the women in jail have not had what we

think of as a normal childhood. If your parent or parents are

drug addicts, for example, you don’t receive the proper nurturing

and you wouldn’t see normal family dynamics. You don’t see

and learn about interacting with others in a positive way. You

don’t see or understand how God is working in people’s

lives. Christian fiction is especially important because it gives

these women a chance to “see” all of these things in the stories

they read and that may be the only way that they’ll ever have an

opportunity to experience a loving, nurturing environment.

Please continue to donate your gently-used paperback Christian

books for use at the Lake County Jail by dropping them off at my

home at 4929 Kelso Street or by phoning me at 352-323-1913 to

arrange for pickup. Thank you for your book donations.. Diane Brown, 323-1913

MAD HATTERS TEA GROUP

SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER Time has passed so quickly and we have hosted 5

teas. What has been a dream of mine has been

accomplished. Seeing our residents meeting for the first

time and creating friendships has made starting the group

worthwhile. I would like to thank Chris Dagostino and

Judy Ramker for helping me with this group.

We have wonderful tea houses to investigate this

summer. Our next tea will be held in September and I

will let all of my tea friends know where and when it will

be held.

I am glad this group has been such a success. See you in

September!!!!

If you have any questions please call Bobbi Lilienfeld at

[352-360-2382] or Chris Dagostino at [352-323-8412].

DINNER DATE GROUP The Dinner Date Group is winding down but

will start a new season in November 2016. If

you would like to join us, please email Jan

Sparks at [email protected] or text/call

Jan at [407 579-8978]

The Dinner Date Group is open to all residents of Royal

Highlands (including Duets (two Singles). Snowbirds or

others who may be here only during January, February and

March are encouraged to join. Substitutes are always

needed!

Our purpose is to enjoy each others company and meet

new people by having each couple dine with different

couples once a month. We will dine at different Dinner

Date member’s homes in Royal Highlands during

November, January, February, March and April. The

Dinner Date members will be given a schedule of Hosts

and Guests for the November-April time period. There are

three couples per group per house. One couple is the

“Host” and the other two couples are the “Guests”. Each

Dinner Date is held in the home of the Host couple. The

role of the “Host” is to contact guest couples early in the

month and agree on a date and a time. The “Host”

provides the entrée and asks the “Guests” to bring either a

vegetable or salad or a dessert. The Dinner Date may also

be a lunch or a brunch instead of dinner. This arrangement

rotates each month so that each couple will host only once

or twice during the season.

Hope to see you next Fall!

BIBLE STUDY Mondays, 1 to 3 pm

Great Hall Dressing Room

Would you like to experience more of Heaven here on earth

or Hell? The secret to experiencing Heaven here on earth is

being filled with the Holy Spirit. Do you

know that more than 90% of all Christians

are trying to go through life using less than

10% of the Holy Spirit’s power? Would

you like to see that changed dramatically in

your life?

Join us every Monday from 1 to 3 pm in Dressing Room A

in the Great Hall. Each week, we’ll discuss how to walk

more fully in step with the Holy Spirit by being more filled

with the Holy Spirit’s power!

This Bible Study is led by Pastor Bob Chase, a Royal

Highlands resident.

Come join us as we study God’s Word together. Pastor Bob Chase, 787-8160

welcome to join us for Bible Study on Sunday afternoons

at 3:00 in the Rec Center starting October 16.

We will resume with the gospel of Acts, studying it verse by

verse to learn how to live more like Jesus. “Acts is the

connecting link between Christ’s life and the life of the

church, between the Gospels and the Letters.” Its purpose is

“to give an accurate account of the birth and growth of the

Christian church” and it is the “sequel to the Gospel of

Luke.” Please join us on October 16

ROYAL PIECEMAKERS Tuesdays, 1-3 pm, Rec Center Craft Room

The 8" blocks we were working on in May, called Twisted

Roads, are looking fantastic. Everyone picked out

incredible fabric to use and the outcome has resulted in

some stunning quilt tops. We'll post a photo when we get

them all quilted and complete. It never ceases to amaze me

how using different fabrics can create a totally different

look. The block is easy to make but very time consuming.

Our June agenda is still not finalized but we have some

interesting suggestions. Please stop by and join us with

whatever projects you are working on. Don't forget to wear

your nametag --- lots of new people are joining our group

and it's hard to keep track of everyone's name.

DAR [Daughters of the Revolution]

The Mary Ellen Robertson Chapter of DAR ( Daughters of

the Revolution) was founded here in Royal Highlands in

2003. It is a group of ladies 18 or over that can trace their

ancestors back to the Revolutionary War, 1776 and whose

ancestor assisted in some way to the creation of this

country. Dar was organized in 1890 with the simple mission

of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism,

the same principles by which we honor to this day. We are a

non profit organization, women's volunteer serving the Lake

County Community.

NEW - SIT AND SEW 2nd & 4th Wednesday, 9 am - 2 pm, Craft Room

We started an open "Sit and Sew" group in May that is

meeting on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. This

"Sit and Sew" will be held in the Craft Room from 9 am to 2

pm during the months of May, June, July, August,

September, October, November and December.

There seems to be quite a bit of interest in this group. Seeing

other talented people work on their projects really gets our

creative juices flowing and it's always fun to get together with

people who share our interests.

Any Royal Highlands resident interested in sewing with our

group is invited to join in on the fun. If you want, you are

welcome to bring your lunch, snacks and a drink. You can

stay for a little bit or you can stay the entire time -- it is

totally up to you. You also do not have to come to every

session - come just when you want company while working

on projects.

It's always nice to have someone to bounce questions off of

and even get some helpful hints so I hope you will be able to

join us. Hope to see you there. Happy Sewing! Jo Buse, [email protected], 630-715-5091

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SPRINKLER ASSISTANCE

We need volunteers to help residents

program their irrigation systems. If you are

mechanically inclined or a techie, we would

greatly appreciate your help.

When a request comes in, I send an email to

all volunteers who are part of the Sprinkler

Committee with the resident’s name, address, and phone

number. I try to indicate in the email if it is just a

programming problem or sprinkler head adjustment so

volunteers know in advance what type of help is needed.

You respond to the email if you are able to assist. Volunteers

are only asked to help with programming.

Sprinkler heads needing adjustment or replacement are outside

the volunteer scope. However, some volunteers agree to do

this work for a fee. If you’re willing to add your name to our

list of helpers, please call me. Thank You!


CERAMICS, OUT OF THE KILN NEWS Friday & Saturday, 9 am-5 pm,

Rec Center Craft Room

Pictured above is our

Student of the Month,

Sharon. I talked with

her and told her that

she would be the next

student featured in the

Ceramics article in the

Happenings.

She gave a big smile and said she liked the idea of the picture

article. She wanted to express in her own words why she

likes coming to our class. So, in her own words...... “I've

been coming to Ceramics for about three years. I became

interested when M.T. invited me. I attended my first class

and became ‘hooked’. It’s a lovely group of ladies to work

with and lots of projects to select from. A great way to relax

and create home decor.”

So we say to Sharon-- it's been fun getting you Hook, Line

and Sinker! For those of you who would like to be our next

"Catch", you can call M.T. Pearson ( 314-2964 ). Betty Elliott, 728-6355

Over three hundred Lake County children are involved with

our local courts due to abuse and neglect. Most have been

strangers. All of them need your help.

funded organization that relies on trained volunteers to

speak up for these children and make sure they are safe and

protected and provided the services necessary to overcome

their circumstances. These volunteers, who are supervised

by human service professionals and attorneys, make a

profound and lasting difference in these children’s lives.

If you wish to join our team of child advocates and improve

Lake County, call the number below. Our next pre-service

volunteer training will be held here in the Royal Highlands

Recreation Center on July 29 and 30, beginning at 9:00 am.

ROYAL ART GROUP 1st, 3rd, & 5th Thursdays, 1-5 pm


The newest member of the Royal Art Group

[RAG] is Dan Henderson who is displaying his artwork for

the month of June in the Rec Center lobby. Dan always

enjoyed art and really started painting about six years ago.

Dan and his wife, Judy [ask her about the art of

ZenTangle], moved to Royal Highlands in August 2015. He

quickly involved himself in many activities, one of which is

serving as a precinct representative for Precinct #3.

Although he usually does landscapes, Dan is showing one

of his abstracts. You will enjoy his oil and acrylic paintings

that are displayed. Contact Dan @ [787-4423] if interested

in any of his paintings.

Members of RAG also have paintings in the Library. Do

come to the Craft Room with your paints to enjoy the music

and some interesting conversations. Louise Lamb 360-1315

Meditation Club Sunday, June 12, 2 - 3:30 pm

Welcome to Meditation Club! Please join us to start or

strengthen your meditation practice, and learn additional

lotus position -- unless you want to! We teach beginners

how to get started and develop the meditation skills of expe-

rienced members. We discover and explore the many medi-

tation techniques practiced worldwide. Meditating in a

group is a fun and healthy way to socialize and learn a skill

that is good for your mind, body, and spirit. We aim to cre-

ate a community around the pursuit of living a more mind-

ful and reflective life. Coming together with a shared inten-

tion can have profound impacts on our lives, our communi-

ties, and our universe.

Over the summer we will meet only once a month on the

second Sunday (June 12, July 10, August 14, and Septem-

ber 11). We meet in various members’ homes, so please

contact Deb Schumacher (email:

[email protected]) to RSVP and learn each

meeting’s location.

This is non-faith based and no experience is necessary. Eve-

ryone is invited! If you are curious and would like to learn

more, please come. Peace and health.

E-mail Basic Etiquette

[1st of three-part series]

1. Make sure your e-mail includes a courteous

greeting and closing. Helps to make your e-mail

not seem demanding or terse.

2. Address your contact with the appropriate level

of formality and make sure you spelled their

name correctly.

3. Spell check – emails with typos are simply not

taken as seriously.

4. Read your email out loud to ensure the tone is

that which you desire. Try to avoid relying on

formatting for emphasis; rather choose the

words that reflect your meaning instead. A few

additions of the words “please” and “thank you”

go a long way!

5. Be sure you are including all relevant details or

information necessary to understand your re-

quest or point of view. Generalities can many

times cause confusion and unnecessary back and

forth.

Clip and keep at your computer.

Physical Fitness

“Mindful Moves” Class Tuesdays – Great Hall

Noon – 1 pm, Cost $2 p/p

Researchers no longer believe that dementia is an inevitable

part of the aging process. The Wellness Community now

knows that just as physical exercise keeps our bones and

muscles strong, exercise for the brain keeps our intellect and

memory sharp.

Mindful Moves class engages you with a combination of

cognitive and physical challenges that are intended to

improve your daily active living skills and brain. Just as the

saying goes – “If you don’t use it – you will lose it!” Have

some fun while we challenge you with your ADL (active

daily living) skills to strengthen your muscles and improve

balance while increasing blood flow to the brain.

The goal of each class is to challenge your cognitive and

physical skills that will lead to discovering “little victories”

that will make your long term daily movement easier.

Engage in the ‘train your brain’ challenges which will

certainly bring on some laughter and fun!.

Chi routines that are safe, easy to learn and suitable for every

chi ruler practice and tai chi forms are especially effective for

those wanting to improve their flexibility, stamina, stability,

mental focus or balance. Emphasizing the fundamental

principles of Tai Chi Ch’uan, your mind quiets, fully absorbed

in the practice. You experience deep relaxation by being fully

present in the moment, leaving you feeling refreshed. "Learn

more about the benefits of Tai Chi by visiting:

TaiChiforHealthInstitute.org or americantaichi.net."

Choose to come for the first half of the class to learn qigong

exercises and tai chi ruler, or stay until 11:30 to learn a Sun

style Tai Chi for Health Form. This class builds on

progressive movements (forms) so participants should plan on

attending most classes. Tai chi rulers are provided for use

during class. Wear loose comfortable clothes and flat shoes

suitable for exercise. Cost is $2 p/p for the full class or $1 p/p

for the first hour only. Deb has been practicing tai chi and

qigong since 1987 and is a certified senior instructor with the

LADY SHARKETTES Mondays, 2-4 pm, RC Billiards Room

We welcome new members to our Monday games.

There are no designated teaching times but we are available

anytime someone needs a little help during class. The room

bulletin board has our schedule posted. Tournaments, if

desired, are scheduled for the last Monday of the month.

The ladies enjoy playing: Royal 51, Golf, Double V Eight

Ball, 3-Ball, 7-Ball, 8-Ball, Pea Pool, and Cut Throat. If you

can teach us a new game, we are always open for something

new. We play as individuals, partners, or round robins

depending on the number of people present. Different

games encourage us to learn and use new skills as well as

stimulate our memory and eye/hand coordination.

BILLIARDS CLUB NEWS

Women’s pocket billiards takes place every Monday from

two to four. If you have never played this game, one of the

members of this group will be glad to provide

instruction.

Pocket billiards is a lot of fun to play. Don’t

hesitate to come and play, even if you haven’t

played for a long time. You won’t regret it.

Billiard Club President, Will Benoit, 459-0307

SENIOR SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS This year's games schedule is posted in the RC. I also have a

few schedules, or call Florida Sports at [866-354-2637].

PLEASE: if you compete in any of the events, in any of the

participating cities, let me know as I would like to put it into

the RH Happenings. Ray Wright, 314-2844

BOCCE CLUB Next Meeting, October 6, 1 pm

Summer Bocce is going on now. We play every

Tuesday morning with the time now 8:00 am. New

and experienced players are all welcome. Someone

is always there to help you learn the game. Don't be shy,

come on down! We draw for teams and play one or two

games according to interest. For those who like Saturday

morning at 8:00 am, we are playing then too.

Open Bocce:

The courts are open to all residents and their guests every day

except when our volunteer maintenance people are there to

groom or improve the courts. Please allow them access to the

courts and come back when they are done. Please remember

to drag/brush the courts whenever you play a game.

Do not leave them in poor condition. DO NOT LOFT THE

BALLS from above the waist as this damages the courts.

Bocce is an easy game to play. Children are welcome as long

as they have supervision.

Rules are on our bulletin board near the tennis courts and

bocce equipment is located in the outdoor cabinet near the

shuffleboard courts.

Information on joining the fall league will be coming next

month. If you have any questions call MaryAnn Hamric

[314-3873].

The next meeting is on October 6, 2016 at 1 pm in the Rec

Center Meeting Room. Dues will be collected and league

schedules will be passed out at that time. MaryAnn Hamric 314-3873 for Joan Terranova, 435-4609


TENNIS CLUB NEWS

Open Tennis

Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, 8:30 am

It is always sad to say goodbye to our snowbird members and

we wish them a great summer and looking forward to seeing

them in the fall. Our final activity for the season was a Fun

Day competition with prizes going to George Baldwin for

first place and Ed Schmitt in second for the men and Bev

Vasquez in first place and Barbara Zamierowski in second

place for the women. This activity was enjoyed by many of

our active members and if you didn’t participate this year

watch for the dates next season and be sure to sign up. The

tournament was followed up with a pizza party and drinks.

All in all it was a “Fun Day.”

We are back to our regular summer schedule which is 8:00

am for the open tennis. Open tennis is on Tuesday, Thursday

and Saturday and is open to all residents. If you are thinking

of coming back to tennis, this is a great opportunity to ease

your way back into the game especially during the summer

months when the courts are not crowded. Organized events

are the ladies’ doubles on Friday mornings at 8:00 am and the

men’s Tuesday evening doubles. Call Irene Bennett at [323-

6116] if you wish to be included in the ladies’ doubles and

are not on the list and Ed Schmitt at [223-7412] for the

Tuesday evening men’s doubles. The next committee

meeting will be in the Card Room at 10:00 am on September

27 and the next Pot Luck will be September 16 at 6 pm. We

wish you all a pleasant and healthy summer. Call Marge Avery, 323-1724 or Connie Lewis, 365-0682.

BICYCLE CLUB

There will be no Bicycle Club meetings during

the Summer. However, the people that remain

here in the Summer ride every Saturday and all

even-numbered weekdays will start at 8:00 am, from the Great

Hall. Also be sure to check our website at

www.rhbike.webs.com for all of our off-campus rides, which

depart at 8:00 am from the Great Hall.

The wood bridge along Route 455 has been replaced. This

bridge is part of the Lake/Mineola Trail. Also, the

temperatures are climbing so you need to take extra water and

keep hydrated to fully enjoy riding in the next 4 months.

Bicycle Etiquette: You want to enjoy the ride as well as

everyone else using the wonderful trail systems in Florida. So

when you are on the trails and you need to stop, make sure

you and your bicycle are completely off the trail. Only ride

double file when there is light traffic. Signal to others that

you are passing and always pass on the left. Alert other riders

in your party of potential hazards that you may encounter and

take the earbuds out for your own safety. Carry a cell phone

for emergencies.

Always wear your helmet and enjoy the ride!

Mike Kowalski, 315-1162

SOFTBALL NEWS Men's Softball: There will be choose-up

softball games taking place at Legacy on

Women's Summer Softball: There will be women's choose-

up games on Saturday mornings at 8:30 am at Plantation,

May but I just found out about June games at the time for

writing the article.)

WOW, WOMEN ON WEIGHTS Workouts Free Seminar!

Ladies, have you gone to the gym workout area and

wondered HOW TO work those weight machines? Do you

feel intimidated so you don’t bother working out?

Has your husband tried to get you to follow HIS workout

routine but you found it too tough?

If you would like to learn how to properly execute each

machine and learn WHY your workout should be different

from your husband’s – or want to learn WHY strength

training is needed for your stage of life, then contact Mary to

schedule your free seminar. You will learn HOW to work

each machine and how to maximize your efforts in attaining

personal goals.

If you want to participate in this free seminar, here are some

suggestions: contact Mary for scheduling as your ‘gym

time’ will be scheduled when the gym area is not at peak

time by members; bring a potential workout partner (Gal Pal

partner) or contact Mary and she will assign you a partner;

come with a goal(s) in mind.

Perhaps any of these conditions may apply to your goal

setting. If you are concerned with:

Osteoporosis - Arthritis - Balance - COPD or any type of

Pulmonary disease - Back problems - Diabetes -

Overweight - Depression - High blood pressure - lack of

strength - let’s set a goal to improve! Mary 440-319-1039 [email protected]
