COMMUNITY CARE by Mary Jo Van Winkle

Welcome to Fall, your Edgewater Club wants to remind every member of our community that we celebrate retirement and good health through activity and socialization with one another. You are encour- aged to be aware of your friends and neighbors needs as it pertains to resources they may need to maintain quality of life. Mobility is vital and a flag that there may be a need for resources for those in our community who have been limited in their mobility. Driving, walking, or in a Mobile chair. Food shopping, prescriptions, chores at home could be issues in need of support. Falls can change our life in an instant; be careful and stay in touch with one another. 911 will bring help in an emergency and 211 will help you locate county resources that could support you in quality of life. The Edgewater club office has information to help you with resources from the county, HOA board Presidents also have this information. Feel free to bring up your concerns at meetings, sharing is caring and your Edgewater club and community care. Donna Butland leads this community care team and Mary Jo Van Winkle is available as needed to answer questions or concerns. Both are in the community phone book. Have a healthy, happy season! Take care of one another, kindness makes our paradise what it needs to be.

A SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS

by Cheryl Miller and Nancy Fournier

To honor all our Military Veterans on Veteran’s Day, we will celebrate them at the Clubhouse on November 11, 2019 with a special event and potluck luncheon starting at 11:00 am. This event is open to all in our Edgewater community. The Edgewater Club will furnish the sandwiches and a special cake as well as table service. We ask that you bring a dish to pass (salads, vegetables, relish tray, chips, etc.) along with your beverage of choice. If you will be attending, please sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board what you intend to bring and the number of people in your party, so we know how many to plan for. Traditionally, this is an American holiday, but we welcome and encour- age all Military Veterans to bring a photo of themselves with their name, branch and dates of service to add to our Wall of Honor collage, when you return for the season. We will collect these until November 5th. Contact Cheryl Miller or Nancy Fournier if any questions.

THE RED HATTERS by Nana Ellis

Last Wednesday our trip over to Cracker Barrel was well worth it; the food was delicious and it is always enjoyable to look around even if you don't purchase anything. Our next outing is going to be on Thurs- day, October 17th at Snook Haven, as this is the only day that the strummers are there. We will be arriving at 11:00 a.m. Hope we will see some snowbirds joining us.

CRAZY BRIDGE by Pat Cameron Sorry we missed the 4th Thursday of September due to Hall cleaning. But join us the 2nd and 4th Thurs- days of October (10th & 24th) at 1:00 p.m. Maybe we can dress up and add the 31st. (Halloween).

THE PAINT BRUSH BUNCH by Bonnie Shepherd Classes will begin Monday, October 7th at 1:00 pm in the all-purpose room. We do not have a specific project planned at this time.

BROADWAY PALM DINNER THEATER by Bob and Pat Cameron Please note the following changes: 1. GRUMPY OLD MEN, the date has been changed to January 9th 2020 and not January 16th 2020, so that the Panama Cruise people will not be left out. 2. The price per person will be $80 rather than $89. I thought there was a $9 surcharge on two of the shows, but not true for groups, so that is one perk we have!!! The first show on December 5th, 2019 will be SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS which will be a singing and dancing spectacular that only the Broadway Palm could put on so well. Don’t miss it; it will get you in the Christmas spirit. January 9th , 2020 – GRUMPY OLD MEN, the musical adaptation of the hilarious play starring Lemon and Matthau, a real treat. February 13th, 2020 – KINKY BOOTS, a newer musical with a sweet story of a man whose boot making business is failing until a young attractive starlet needs a special pair of shoes for her dancing act. She approach- es the boot maker and the love story begins. Remember the $80 covers bus transportation, a great luncheon buffet, the play and all gratuities. Plus, a relaxing day 3 WEBSITE: www.edgewaterclubinc.com October 2019 A SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS

There is still space available for this cruise, two possible spaces at the published special pricing; Anne Soltis may be able to get some more space.

The Solstice is a beautiful ship which is part of the elite Celebrity Line. The ship is beautifully designed and the food is superb, above most other ships in quality. Plus, we will have two additional nights in Honolulu to enjoy the Pearl Harbor Exhi- bition and other important sights in the city. Pat Cameron – 941 474 -4358

LEMON BAY ISLES PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION by Cheryl Miller

Wow… October is soon to arrive… the leaves are turning and falling here in Michigan; a sure sign that many of our snowbirds will soon return to Lemon Bay Isles. A number of properties have sold over the summer, please welcome new LBI friends and neighbors. As you return, please pay special attention to your siding and eve troughs – the rain and summer heat may have added an unsightly green tinge to your siding and small plants may be growing out of your eves. The weeds and trees may also need attention. Our first POA meeting will be on November 20th, at 1:00 pm at the clubhouse. If you are new to LBI or have not attended a meeting, please come and be heard, meet the Board and learn what is happening in our community. Much of the summer, I have received calls regarding speeding in the park, especially on Oriole. Please remember the speed limit is 25 mph throughout the park. Be safe and well and enjoy Lemon Bay Isles, “our little piece of paradise”.

From Your Editors: October newsletters are available in the club library. Next Month, No- vember, begins our home delivery of the newsletter to homes in Lemon Bay Isles and member homes in Holiday Estates III. If you wish to volunteer to assist in this endeavor, please contact Collette Carroll or Emma Craig. We would like to thank all of those who have helped us through the summer months by writing news, printing copies for members and sending out the newsletter via email. It helps all of us to keep up to date with our community. On a personal note, many thanks to all who send cards and words of encouragement to me as I went through knee surgery. I am well on the road to recovery. Looking forward to arriving in Englewood at the end of October. Margaret Bennett.
