1 RESIDENT ASSOCIATION & COUNCIL WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5TH 10:00 AM BOB MEDLEY GRAND BALLROOM On June 5th at 10:00 am, in the Grand Ballroom, we will be holding a meeting of the Resident Association. This is a call to all Independent Living residents and those who have lived in Independent Living before. We will be voting on two (2) issues which affect all residents: 1) Changing the resident By- Laws to read that membership in resident standing committees will be through personal interest and signing up to serve on a specific committee rather than by appointment. 2) Approving the amended By-Law. In 2019, we have been utilizing this new procedure for serving on standing committees. It was set up as a pilot program. Feedback has been positive. You have voted through floor meetings to continue. So now we vote to make it a permanent clause in our By-Laws. Each floor has a copy of the proposed By-Law which we will vote on. Hopefully you have had a chance to look over. Floor reps also have a copy of the proposed amended By-Law. Neighbors, please plan to attend this meeting. Marilyn W. Resident Association President

TO THE POINT WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5TH 2:00 PM BOB MEDLEY GRAND BALLROOM The next To The Point meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 5th, at 2:00 pm in the Bob Medley Grand Ballroom. The meeting will be broadcast live on EVTV Channel 1960 and re-played that evening at 7:00 pm on EVTV Channel 1960.

THANK YOU I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the choir for the beautiful flowers and card. It has been an honor for me to be the Villa Voices accompanist since the beginning (1990 –1991). Wenonah Hampton, a retired Rose State College vocal teacher was the first director, followed by Mattie Meyer. Our robes were donated by Hugh Bradley after the Brill Chapel was built. As I reflect back over the years, I believe this Villa Voices Choir is the largest and most professional we have had. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. Betty H. 2

TOUR THE OKC ORCHESTRA LEAGUE 2019 DECORATOR SHOW HOUSE THURSDAY, JUNE 13TH LEAVE @ 10:30 AM This year’s show house transforms the vacant 1920’s era, 13,000 square foot Sieber Hotel into 13 residential units. Located near Wilson Elementary in the historic Mesta Park neighborhood, the clever use of space, marriage of old-and-new materials and common area with a kitchen promises to be popular with tenants looking for something out of the ordinary. In addition to having a nice place to live people need to know about their history. If buildings like the old Sieber Hotel don’t continue to exist, people wouldn’t be able to share the history of OKC by just driving by an empty lot or a new building and saying, ‘this is where this important part of our past used to be.’ These buildings are vital to the social fabric of our city. Keeping them matters. The blend of the modern and the historic— the blank canvas of new construction and the character of a grand manor will all be on display in this year’s show house. If you are interested in going with us to the show house, cost will be $20.00 for your ticket and transportation. DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS THURSDAY, JUNE 6th AT NOON. We need 8 people to make the trip happen.

We meet on Thursdays at 1:00—3:00 pm in the Art Corner on the second floor, above the lobby. OH, DID I MENTION, we also work on needlework projects. You too can do this. If help is needed, this talented group can teach you to knit, crochet, do needlepoint, cross stitch or embroider. Come renew your old skill or learn a new one.

MUSIC TALK WITH RON WHEELER TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH 2:30 PM GRAND BALLROOM

Ron Wheeler’s music talks have been regular features for audiences of all ages, youth groups to senior communities, from summer camps to major universities. With the use of CD’s and videos, he covers a wide range of subjects from the famous Three B’s (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms) to contemporary American music. Information includes the relevance of the composers he is talking about and their places in musical history along with revealing glimpses into their personal lives. For example, everybody knows Bach had 20 children with 2 wives and that Tchaikovsky was financially supported by a woman he never knew, but how many people know Mozart wrote the popular overture to “The Marriage of Figaro” the morning of its premier while suffering from a massive hangover? Wheeler’s own background is as extensive as any of the composers he talks about. As a performing musician, he has been the music director of the Tulsa Youth Symphony since 1972. He both performed in as a violinist and conducted concerts for the Tulsa Philharmonic and the Sunriver, Oregon, Music Festival along with the same duties for music festivals and camps in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, California and North Dakota. As an administrator, he has served on the staffs of the Cascade Music Festival in Bend, Oregon, the Teton Music Festival in Jackson, Wyoming, and the Tulsa Philharmonic where he as the Director of Education. Recently he received a lifetime achievement award from the Oklahoma Association of Music Educators and in November 2013, he received the Governor’s award for Arts in Education on behalf of the Tulsa Young Symphony.
