Friday Donuts May 22nd

Betty and Harell Aderton furnished the donuts this morning. there were 28 to 30 attending. It was a lovely cool morning.
Irene and John are back and we just came back from a short trip to Waco. Next week we will be gone to Vegas for a couple weeks. Bev Ostrander is back so hopefully you will get a news letter.
Irene had four cards in the lobby to sign when we got home yesterday, one to Frank Willard and Phyllis on the death of his sister, one to Verne Miller who had triple by-pass, doing very well, a card to Paul Ziaja, hospital for a serious infection in his leg, and a card for the family of a former resident who lived at 226, Marcel Belzer, who passed away.
Aloyce talked to us about Bill Griffin. He was moved last night to the Aurora House which is on 18th st. It's run totally on donations. Aloyce is putting up a sheet for folks to make donations of various things, such as paper goods, Canned food, laundry products, wash cloths etc. We plan on bringing some items Monday to be taken there. And of course any monetary donations. Our Elks Lodge gives $100.00 each month for them to use as needed there. And any help is so greatly appreciated. Even from your home up North if you feel you would like to donate some money, don't hesitate as it's badly needed. There mailing address is Aurora House, P.O.Box 976, Weslaco,TX. 78599. Telephone there is 956-973-9690. Most folks there are at the point of 3 months or so left so they are bed ridden and it takes alot of supplies to help them.
We are having hamburgers on the grill Monday for Memorial Day.
Jack our mgr. has decided to move all the dumpsters to the back, that way there will be much needed space for a new shop for the boys and also a workshop for residents to use. there has aways been folks complaining of the smell of the dumpsters there and moving them several times a week is a very strenuous hard job moving them in and out.There was discussion about what to do with a few residents who have no golf cart or vehicle to get their garbage back to the dumpsters but many said if they would set it out to the curb there are plenty of folks riding around and someone will pick it up for them. Also Connie and Jack discussed the possibility of our residents having a 2 pet limit in our park. Walter is very ademant about only one pet per household and wants it to be enforced. So no more 2 pets allowed.
It has been so dry here. The yards who don't get watered look pretty brown. I think alot of plants will not make it this Summer.While we were gone there was a shower and someone said 7 one hundreds of an inch rain!!
You will be amazed at the huge Penny's store going in East of WalMart, to open in October the whole outside is up and we were really shocked on the size of it. there will be a big shopping center there , hope there will be a Hobby Lobby!!!!
