Please obey them. That goes for golf articles in this column and the moving violation citations carts and bicycles, too. that have been written over the last several months, we still have far too many violators who just don’t seem to understand that they are risking their lives and others when they speed or ignore stop signs.

The members most enjoy being creative and empowering each member with solid feelings of being artistic. More important, however, are the friendships forged in the club and the camaraderie among the members. • The biggest accomplishment of the club is the huge success of running an “arts & crafts” show for the last two years, which has developed into the very popular “Harvest Festival” in November. It is an enormous undertaking and all members are involved. Other club highlights include socializing at two luncheons during the year: a holiday gathering in December and an end-of-the-year luncheon in May. These members know how to have fun! • The Ceramics Club is proud of its accomplishments. The club just purchased a second kiln scheduled to arrive next month. It’s a fun and energetic group composed of eager and artistic members. By Larry Goodman

Just as Americans across our land have done for the last 144 years on the final Monday in May, neighbors will gather at the Montecito Clubhouse to pay their respects to our military. The half-hour ceremony begins at 8 am; coffee and light refreshments will be available afterwards. Indio Mayor Elaine Holmes will deliver the keynote address. The symbolic heart of the observance, though, is always the flag raising ceremony. A detail of ROTC cadets from Shadow Hills High School will first hoist the flag to full staff, then immediately lower it to half-staff to commemorate our fallen heroes. The flag will remain at half-staff until noon, when it will again be raised to full height to honor our living veterans and current service members.

Soap Donations If you travel often, you’ve probably got a drawer full of hotel shampoos and soaps that you never use. If so, consider donating them to people in need, rather than dumping those unwanted bottles and bars in the trash, where they’ll just add more waste to landfills and contaminate fragile groundwater systems, you can give them to people who really need them. During the month of May we will have a box at the Lifestyle desk where you can drop off your unused and unwanted hotel shampoos and soaps. At the end of the month we will donate them all to Martha’s Village and Kitchen for distribution. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful donation.
