of us. May all her memories bring a special warmth to all our hearts throughout our life. We shall all miss your beautiful sto-ries, smiles, and love you shared with all, Mom. God Bless your new journey. Quote from Germaine’s family. Germaine will be

missed by all who knew her here in Tippecanoe Where she made her home and shared her faith

We will be having our 50th Anniversary Celebration on March 7, starting at 2:00 PM in the clubhouse. This is an annual event recognizing those couples in our community who will be celebrating their 50th anniversary during 2021. Honorees this year are Jan & Rich Cunningham, Denise & Don Feren and Sandie & Doug Hitchens. Please join us for cake and punch as we celebrate this marital milestone. This is for residents and guests of the honorees. Wear your masks so we all stay safe.

The AARP Drivers Training Course will not start back up until September at least due to the Covid Virus. The course can be taken on line at "aarpdriversafety.org" in the meantime. Any questions should be addressed to Beverly Cogdill, instructor, at 907-3908

A charity craft project was done by the 11 women who were at the Wednesday craft day. This year approximately 50 stuffed animals were made and donated to the Zephyrhills fire department and police department. The fire fighters and Police usually keep a supply of stuffed animals for those little ones they may come in contact with to help them understand they are loved. The crafting group gets a project of this size done by several cutting out, several sewing and a few stuffing. Always fun to watch the progress of their assembly line. This year bears, pigs, cats and elephants plus hearts were made. Thank you all you participated in this generous charity project.

CRAFT GROUP WORKS ON CHARITY PROJECT

DARK HOUSE PROGRAM This is a free program sponsored by the Pasco County Sheriff's Dept. If you fill out a form, they will check your home during the summer months. Patty Wisniewski will be the coordinator this year.
