Manager’s Minutes 86 days until Christmas? My, does time fly when we are having fun! Christmas???? October brings in a little cooler weather and lots of events for our residents. We are having a Movie Night, Deck Party, Hot Dogs at the Summer Kitchen (Hot Dogs are a surprise and delight) among other exciting events. What is a Surprise and Delight? Cove wants us to " Surprise and Delight" Camelot East Residents with random acts of kindness. That is why we come to the pool area, on random days and times, to provide beverages, ice cream and snacks to those who are at the pool. This is all done randomly. I will, from time to time, grill hot dogs on the grill for those at the pool area and anyone who is in the building. There will be times we will pick a home and pull weeds at that home. We can't do it all the time and for every home but we do like to " Surprise and Delight" our residents when we can! All “Surprise and Delight" random acts of kindness are done at no cost to the residents. Thank you for allowing us to serve you, our wonderful and kind residents! Camelot East Village the #1 place to reside in Sarasota! At your service,

Gail Sterling- Manager Camelot East Village A Cove Community

Notes from the Social Director Here we go…my favorite month! For so many reasons I love October. My son Mark turns 20 on the 5th my daughter Amanda turns 26 on the 26th and my best friend Emily won’t mention her age but she shares the same date as my son on the 5th. October also was the month I was hired here at Camelot East Village. Wow, I have been here 3 years already. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you. Everyone is so kind and many of you are dear friends to me. All of you have made my job very special. I am amazed at our residents and the friendships you all have with each other and how you all do such a fantastic job with all of the great HOA events. Your enthusiasm in all you do is infectious. So, thank you for letting me be a part of your lives here at Camelot East Village. Also, October is the start of cooler weather, it starts bringing our snowbirds back to Camelot East Village! I can’t wait for our snowbirds to see the new Clubhouse and Summer Kitchen and the fabulous Coffee Room. Halloween is a fun time here, I love how everyone has a great time at our Annual Halloween Party. Halloween always brings back memories of my childhood and special times with my children when they were young.

Yet, some people carry self-criticism to the extreme. Like the man who is positively intolerant when he makes any kind of mistake. A perfectionist, he curses, rants, belittles himself, blames circumstances and erodes his own peace of mind. When he reinforces his own negative or faulty beliefs about himself and the world around him, he becomes more dissatisfied with himself and others.

To some degree all of us harbor at least some self- defeating talk, beliefs and thoughts.
