IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

TBPOA CHRISTMAS PARTY – 12/10/2011 – 6:00 PM – Beacher’s Lodge

January Community Meeting: 01/10/2012 – 7:30 – Beacher’s Lodge

Thanksgiving is on the way and will be over by the time you receive this letter. I hope everyone had a happy day with family and/or friends. Thanksgiving and Christmas are good times of the year to remember people less fortunate than ourselves. There are many organizations that need money and donations at this time of the year. Please think about supporting one of them with your donation.

Also…don’t forget that some of our neighbors in Treasure Beach are on social security or disability and may need some help.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Don’t forget to purchase your party tickets from Gisela Prange for $5.00 each (such a deal!). Gisela needs to know who is coming so she knows how much food to order.

WALKWAY NEWS

Still pending……………………hoping to be settled by December 1st, 2011!

TBPOA IN 2012

The board has voted to make some necessary changes in the number of community meetings held and the number of board meetings held. These changes have (by now) been discussed at the November 15th community meeting. Details to follow.

ANNUAL DUES LETTER

Look for the dues letter within the next 30 days!

THE PRESIDENT’S RANT

I cannot believe it is near the end of 2011!!! Why does the time fly when you reach the “golden years”? When I was still working I can remember thinking……when will this day end???? Now that I am retired, I find myself thinking….how can it be 6:00 p.m. already? What did I get accomplished today? Is that normal?

I have to admit…I do like retirement better. As you all know by now, the November community meeting had to be changed from 11/8/11 to 11/15/11. That was because Ron and I scheduled our 10th wedding anniversary cruise! (OK…..I scheduled it and invited him to come along! LOL) It was kind of a last minute thing on Cruises.com. This year we splurged and went on the new Royal Caribbean’s ship The Allure. In my next newsletter I’ll give you some highlights of the ship. So far I only know that the ship holds 6300 people, has 6 different “neighborhoods”, and you have to reserve your show times on line when you book the cruise (or you may not get to see a show!) I wanted a room with a balcony…until I saw the cost…..so we settled for an interior room. But, our room overlooks “Central Park” so Ron thinks we will have a good time watching people being mugged and the police chasing down crooks.
