Dorothy Greening, Chris McGee, and Linda Leonard
This, the fourth article in a series, bursts an “urban myth” that we don’t need to submit to the ARC any changes to our courtyards, rear patios, or backyards. It is true that if your over-sized wall hanging, for example, cannot be seen from the road or golf course you are less likely to receive a violation notice. But if your neighbor reports the violation, or you decide to sell your property, you will receive a violation from the HOA as an inspection will be prompted. Knowing the ARC Guidelines will help you decide what is acceptable. Remember, it is always easier to submit your changes for approval in advance in order to avoid a pricey requirement to come into compliance! Size is important: All statues, artifacts, and artwork to be placed on the property or hung on an exterior wall (even if inside a courtyard) may not be larger than three feet high by three feet wide. Anything taller than three feet, even if the bulk of the height is a pole upon which the artifact sits, does not fall within the Guidelines.

Stardust is our version of Flat Stanley. He loves to be seen and photographed all over Corte Bella. He is seriously considering getting an agent so that he can become a dog model in a glamour magazine. He is hoping he can be the star photograph on the newly revised Corte Bella website! Vizlas are one of the easiest dogs to train. Stardust attended a rattlesnake avoidance class and passed with flying colors. Fortunately, we have not encountered a rattlesnake. One of Stardust’s favorite activities is an unleashed romp in the desert across from the side entrance to Corte Bella. Since he had just graduated from his rattlesnake class, we felt fairly secure about his wilderness wanderings….until he spotted a lone coyote. Stardust sprang into action and shifted into high gear running like a gazelle and giving the coyote a run for his money. Soon the coyote realized he could not outrun the long-legged hunting dog so he stopped dead in his tracks and decided to have a stare down with Stardust. A surprised Stardust mimicked the coyote’s As you can see, our dog, Stardust, enjoys the good life at Corte behavior. Luckily, by that point, the retired white-headed owner Bella.

Nancy Wendler
Before summer began, the Drop Toppers caravanned to Prescott, AZ to enjoy the sunshine and tour the historic Sharlott Hall Museum. The Sharlot Hall Museum is an open-air museum which was originally opened in 1928 by Sharlot M. Hall as the Old Governor’s Mansion Museum. It is dedicated to preserving the history and folklore of Yavapai County, Arizona. The museum grounds include the Governor’s Mansion in its original location; Fort Misery, the oldest log cabin in Arizona-- built in 1864; the Iron Turbine Windmill, and several buildings and structures that were moved to the property including a library and archives.
In 2011, The Palace created an annual event on New Year’s Eve. Rather than having a ball drop from the rooftop, like New York, a cowboy boot is dropped at midnight. So put on your chaps, cowboy hat, boots and venture into The Palace.

St. Mary’s Food Bank Needs Your Help
Linda Wright, member of SOuL (Smiling Out Loud)
John Van Hengel, founder of St. Mary’s Food Bank, once said “The poor we shall always have, but why the hungry?” While he was helping at a soup kitchen, the idea of a food “bank” where the needy could “withdraw” food items came to him. In 1967, in an unused building and with $3,000 donated by his local parish, the world’s first food bank was born. Today, this operation in Arizona is one of the nation’s largest and its effectiveness is beyond amazing thanks to generous donations. In 2015-2016, St. Mary’s Food Bank provided 74 million meals, distributed 21 million pounds of fresh produce and gave 1.2 million after-school meals to children through their Kids The location of St. Mary’s Food Bank in Surprise (13050 W Café program.

Summer 2017 | CB Times | 27 COMMUNITY EZ Dining is Simple, Fun and Delicious
Virginia Dent
EZ Dining is a fun event for gathering people together in a small group setting. It is a new group that is forming in Corte Bella; the idea came from my 55+ community in Colorado. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and all Corte Bella residents are welcome.
When you do attend, please choose to be a host or guest. The host decides the time and how many people they can accommodate. Their responsibility is to determine the dinner menu and contact their guests—preferably people they do not know. The guests will bring whatever the host asks them to add to the meal, generally an appetizer, salad or dessert and their own beverage. EZ Dining means exactly that. You can go to Costco or Trader Joe’s or any grocer and buy something already prepared. It is If you are interested in getting on this EZ Dining e-mail list, please supposed to be easy. contact Virginia Dent at [email protected] to have a fun evening with other Corte Bella residents. This will be a monthly event that will start on Thursday, September 28. This is not something you must attend every month, but you will not receive an invitation unless you sign up for the group. World of Friends Evie Hansen
World of Friends brings together Corte Bella residents and renters with international interests for an evening of good food and wonderful conversation. Some in our group have lived/worked overseas. Some have traveled internationally while others come because of their interest in the world. Usually, someone will very briefly share something about a recent trip to an international destination or lead a short discussion on some relevant/current international issues. Because of our focus on fellowship these are conversations rather than formal lectures or presentations. To keep things simple, the pot luck menu is a “finger-food” so Photo by Virginia Dent we can keep the emphasis on fellowship and conversation. Attendees bring their beverage of choice. This diverse group, like Corte Bella itself, includes people with We meet on the second Monday night of each month in a a wide range of interests and experiences which makes for a residents’ home. John Eakins and Emilie Tipton will host the delightful evening.
