CHAPEL NOTESRichard Koerselman

How much attention do you need? A little girl is seated with her parents

in a restaurant. The waitress takes their order. The mother orders what she wants. The father orders what he wants, and then he orders for his daughter, “She’ll have a hamburger and French fries.”

But the waitress ignores the father’s order for his daughter. Instead she turns to the bright-faced little girl and asks,”Is that what you wanted?”

“Well -” began the little girl, “I was kind of hopin’ for a hot dog this time and a milk-shake - a chocolate one.”

When the waitress returned with the food, she placed before the little girl a hot dog and a big, chocolate milk-shake.

After all the food was distributed, and the waitress had turned to leave, the little girl looked in awe at what was before her and fi nally said, “Golly, she thinks I’m real!” When the little girl got special attention, she saw herself as a person.

If there is one thing we all need, it is attention. But how much do we need?

Some years ago, Eric Berne came up with a way to analyze communication. He put it in the language of psychological strokes. They could be positive strokes - messages that make you feel good or negative strokes - messages that make you feel bad.

It was a helpful way to measure how much attention we need. For example,

are you the kind of person who needs a positive stroke immediately when you enter a room, and if so, how many do you need? Or can you melt into the crowd and say nothing and be comfortable. We are all diff erent.

But Jesus suggested we not dwell on our ourselves, counting up our strokes. Rather, he said, if you want to do my will you need to “forget yourself, take up your cross and follow me.” When we move beyond ourselves and reach out to others who are getting far too many negative strokes, we can respond and give them some positive strokes. In that way, we can make a diff erence in their lives.

What’s Up - Patriotism Is ‘Flying High’ On Lindner Circle

Thirteen homes were the beginning of Sunland Village East, just like the 13 colonies that started our country.

In 1984 on “Lindner Circle,” 10 model homes and 3 vacant lots for parking were constructed to promote the sales of Sunland Village East. All of them had diff erent fl oor plans, and each had a fl ag pole erected in the front yard. Today the vacant lots are homes and they too have fl ag poles in their front yards. Every day the “13” homes proudly fl y the American fl ag.

Many of the Lindner Circle residents are veterans and veteran’s families. One Linder Circle resident is even a WWII veteran.

In the near future, a local TV station will be highlighting “Lindner Circle” and their patriotism.

The residents of Lindner Circle would like all SVE residents to join them by spreading American pride and patriotism throughout Sunland Village East by proudly fl ying your American fl ag too.

What’s the Big Deal with Open Garage DoorsChuck Bortkun

1. ThievesMost thefts are crimes of opportunity,

so leaving your garage door open creates a huge (and easy) opportunity for thieves. Not closing your garage door could cost you your bike, tools, or even the vehicles stored in your garage. It also makes it easier for intruders to access the contents of your home while you sleep.

2. PestsForgetting to close your garage door

also leaves you at risk to non-human

intruders. In extreme cases, pests can even damage the door itself, which can require EXPENSIVE overhead door repair. Once they’re in, pests have the capacity to also damage your belongings, invade your vehicle, and even nest in the safety of your garage. Keep your garage door closed overnight to keep pests out. You may appreciate having and want to feed your pests, but YOUR NEIGHBOR(S) MAY NOT!!!

3. Stress on The Door SpringsIn the fully open or fully closed

position, the garage door’s system is under the least stress from spring tension. Since leaving it fully open isn’t a safe idea (unattended), homeowners who leave the garage door up just a few inches may vent some air, but are overall adding to the strain of the door system, decreasing its lifespan.

In conclusion, the SVE Security Guard reports approximately 100 open garage openings per month...a lot!! These reports are AFTER the residents are sleeping or not at home.

LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEEPaul Christoff ers

WE’RE STILL HEREContrary to popular rumors, the Long Range Planning

Committee is still active and continues to seek ways to enhance our village. The LRPC formal report was presented to the HOA board and residents at the regular January 2018 monthly board meeting. We also submitted possible ways to implement various portions of our report to the HOA board during the February 2018 board study session.

Our HOA Board and offi ce are doing a great job, but your

LRPC is betting there are still a lot of ideas that need to be explored. So please keep those suggestions coming.

Feel free to share your thoughts and dreams for our village by visiting with any of the committee members: Sue Hensley, Joann Peek, Lin-Da Stougard, Diane Loram or Paul Christoff ers. Or you can email them: [email protected].

Working together we can accomplish amazing things! Thanks to everyone for your continued support and encouragement.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST Ed Malone

Our fi rst breakfast of 2018 was a big success. We served 563 guests and made a profi t of $1480.00.

Our pancake team is an outstanding collection of VERY SPECIAL people. We had some new people this month and some experienced volunteers going back 18 or more years. They are people who overcome some limitations but just want to help our community. I am so proud of them and really enjoy working with them.

You know that they all get up early to be here. Some are here by 5am.

The reward for all their eff ort is b reakfast, sore feet and your appreciation. May God Bless all of them through out 2018 and beyond.

SVE is a great place to live and work.

SPORTSPICKLEBALL

Paula HenryThe Pickleball Club found February to be an extremely

busy month. We held 6 special meetings to show residents our proposal to build pickleball courts. We reached out in our neighborhoods to help inform friends and neighbors. We talked, listened, answered questions, spoke the truth and supported one another in the face of misinformation from those opposed to court construction. Thank you in advance for your support and for listening, whichever way you decided to vote.

February was also our annual Soup Contest and Potato Bar fundraiser. We hope you were able to attend this interactive event and had a great time eating stuff ed baked potatoes, singing or listening to the karaoke, sampling soup and visiting our silent auction. We think this fundraiser gets better and better every year as we hone our fundraising skills. As they say, “it takes a village”. We are indeed fortunate to live in a village that shows so much support to all our organizations.

February also found most of us on the courts. We have a group of men battling it out on Monday evenings and “ladies only” play twice a week. We continue two levels of Round Robin play weekly where someone takes home the trophy for best play. We have our ever popular lessons for beginners and intermediate skill levels Monday and Wednesday at 11:00 and Thursday evening at 6:00. and of course, we have time allotted for non-member resident play. If you are interested in learning, playing or simply watching pickleball, come to the courts, receive a friendly welcome and check out our court schedule.

SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB

Carleton MooreThe shuffl eboard players are happy these days. We have

a great new bunch of players who joined our group, making it larger and more fun. We would like even more of you to come out and give it a try. It is not too late to start. You will be welcome!

Our spring business meeting and pot luck social will be on Friday, March 9th in the Mesa Verde Room at 5pm.

Remember we play at 9:30am Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Hope to see you at the shuffl eboard courts. Please come .Call L McGhinnis with questions 630-917-1707. Our club president is Curt Faul 480-245-8326.

TENNIS TALKSandy Saxena

Whew! There have been many, many activities since November, with February being no exception. It’s hard to believe that our Canadian friends and tennis buddies with summer homes will be planning to leave before long. We still have the main tennis event happening now.

With seasonal league play ending on March 2, Tennis Club members are gearing up for our big fundraising tournament of the year. SVE hosts 16 communities for the men and women’s doubles championships for the East Valley Senior Tennis League, from March 5-10. There will be extra activity around the courts with over 350 players at 7 levels competing for medals and prizes, plus hundreds of spectators cheering them on!

Admission is free, and residents are invited to watch some great tennis. Breakfast and lunch items will be available for sale with featured “meal deals” from the kitchen. (Please see fl yer inserted in OUTLOOK for the meal deals and the coupon for a free cup of coff ee.)

Money earned from the championships is directly reinvested in maintaining our equipment and facilities. The club will be funding some of the updates to the courts that will be done along with the renovations that begin soon.

Thanks in advance for your patience with the extra traffi c and more cars parking near the tennis courts. Orange “no parking” cones are available from the Tennis Club for those who don’t want people turning around in their driveways or blocking mail boxes. Call Phil at 406-781-0190 for cones.

Get more information about the Tennis Club on our website, https://sites.google.com/site/svetennis/, or contact Doug Shjefl o at 406-270-6859 or doug.shjefl [email protected]. Watch as the courts get a facelift!

A New Reverse Mortgage from Sun American Mortgage Company,

Offers a Brighter Outlook on Retirement!

When Leslie and Rick found themselves facing a series of unexpected events that left them without the money they needed to comfortably retire, they didn’t have a lot of options. Leslie could go back to work – but there wasn’t much in the area. Rick tried taking on some consulting work, but it was negatively affecting his health. The only realistic option they could see was to sell their retirement home in Pebble Creek. It felt like an impossible task.

Luckily, a neighbor suggested an alternative: a reverse mortgage. Leslie and Rick’s retirement plans did not go as planned, but Sun American Mortgage Company stepped in helped turn a bad situation into an

opportunity. With 25 years of experience assisting Arizona seniors in similar situations Sun American Mortgage is a leader in the Reverse Mortgage industry. Instead of selling their precious home in Pebble Creek, Leslie and Rick were able to turn to the equity in their own home to fund their retirement.

With their reverse mortgage line of credit, they can take money in and out of their home without recourse. They can make payments on their reverse mortgage if they want to, but also feel safe knowing that, in a pinch, no payment is required. Leslie and Rick have options. They can simply pay the interest, make a full payment every other month, make 2 payments every month, or never

make a payment again. The reverse mortgage gave them the flexibility to live the future they envisioned even though their retirement plans didn’t go quite as planned.

LIBRARY NEWSCharlotte Holm

Martha Grimes is the featured mystery writer of the month. She is considered a long-time Anglophile, although born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her most famous hero is Richard Jury, who has appeared in twenty-four of her mysteries. He is an

inspector with Scotland Yard who is partnered with his friend, Melrose Plant, a British aristocrat who has

given up his titles. Together they share nearly equal detective duties. Melrose continues to work on the murder case locally

while Jury always needs to go to London to check in with his boss at Scotland Yard. Each of the Jury mysteries is named after an English pub where they discuss their cases and ultimately solve the mysteries. The locals at the various pubs are colorful characters who move the mystery forward to its always unexpected conclusion.

In 1999 Grimes began a new series of mysteries which focused on the prevention of animal abuse. She donated two-thirds of her royalties to animal abuse organizations. Most interestingly she has said, “I do not believe that people are indiff erent to the welfare of animals. Possibly the opposite is true – people are so aff ected by stories of animal abuse that they do not want to know.” A very probing thought.

The SVE library is looking forward to participating in Kids’ Week with a story reading hour on Friday, March 19.

Are you looking for a fun and relaxing hobby? Come and join us here in our ceramic room. We have an instructor here on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9-12. Class fees are $5 per session; however, if you come on Monday, the Tuesday class is $3.

Many residents tell us they aren’t talented and can’t paint. You do not have to be a pro to paint. Many of our members had never done ceramics before. After they tried it a few times, they really enjoy it! It’s fun to see the ideas and projects many of them come up with. Our instructor also has many ideas and can show you how to get started. So, stop by and check us out!

Our next horsehair class (which is very popular) is scheduled for March 5th at 1:00. Come by and watch how this technique is done. We use real horsehair and no two projects look the same. It is a lot of fun! For more information about our club contact: Sherrie Larson (480-822-7124) or Sue Kobiela (480-380-6909.

GENEALOGY CLUBBonnie Catton

The February 21st meeting was organizing our family history. Many members illustrated their work with stunning examples of family history collections. They shared why they use a certain system and/ or a combination of genealogy data collecting techniques. We had a great time sharing ideas and also engaged in an open discussion on writing a family story. Research was discussed with the success, frustrations and experience obtaining results.

Special thanks to all for contributing to the group discussion. There always are members that are available to off er suggestions and help with genealogy research. Gary Van Valkenburg also sends interesting “bits and pieces” emails throughout the year. Please be sure you are signed up to receive these entertaining and informational genealogy articles.

Our program for the March 21st meeting will be to select one interesting family member and do a short presentation on that person. Hopefully, we will have eager participants and we are looking forward to your ancestor’s story. Regardless, come and observe to see how you can discover your family’s history. Members will be asked to think about speakers and programs for next year. These are exciting times with the internet resources and information being made available worldwide through genealogy libraries.

UKULELE CLUBJim Phillips

We are off to a great start with the ‘Strummin’ Through Life’ ukulele group. We’ve played some old time favorites this last month while strumming various songs in The Daily Ukulele massive music book. It’s fun playing songs we remember hearing on the radio as kids, teens and adults. The 2 hour session seems to fl y by while the participants continue to improve their strumming abilities by playing chords while singing in a group setting.

You want to learn HOW to play the ukulele (4 string instrument)? Lyn Marion instructs the beginner group (Vintage Ukes) every Wednesday at the Saguaro Room from 2 to 3 pm. This group typically has 15+ members and recently put on a show at Fellowship Village. Those who want to spread their wings and take on the next challenge can try the ‘Strumming Through Life’ group which meets on the 1st and 3rd Sundays in the Saguaro Room from 2 to 4 pm.

Don’t know if this is right for you? Drop by to listen and enjoy our strumming and singing.

SUNSTIONALS Vickie Briscoe

We’ve decided to spotlight one of Sunsationals’ dance groups each month. This month’s spotlighted group is our great beginning/new dancers. An enthusiastic and talented group, these dancers are working hard learning their steps to “Take It Easy.” Choreographed by our instructor, Stephani Szoke, the dance is a tribute to this great state of Arizona. The dancers are diligently practicing together to create a great ensemble performance. Ginny Bartes, beginners’ coordinator, is busy supervising and practicing with the new Sunsational members as they learn their dance. It will be exciting to have them performing in next year’s Sunsational Review.

The returning Sunsationals are also busy learning and perfecting their dances as they travel musically from Baton Rouge and Kansas City to Amarillo and Chattanooga. The sounds of cloggers, jazz dancers, and tappers fi ll the auditorium every Tuesday and Friday mornings. Great fun. Great friends. Great exercise.

Sunland StitchersFreda Klein

As of February 5,the Quilters membership is 101 members!Many thanks to Linda Dunnigan for the fabric donated for

on Wednesdays if they are not in a class which is held on Wednesday also. Elaine Ekdom has developed several block patterns that are now worked on by all in the room.

On a non- meeting Monday, we had four members and Annette Duley from the Oasis Quilt Shop do demonstrations on various quilt skills. Annette spoke on how to pick colors for diff erent eff ects on a pattern. Marcia Todd showed how to get binding on a quilt and how to make the corners come out correctly. Rhonda Breese showed how to use two rulers to correctly measure to cut a straight line. Lolly Platt showed various widths of borders to show off a quilt, and Debb Smith demonstrated a quick and effi cient way to measure,cut and sew binding together. We all felt it was a very productive day.

ACTIVE SINGLES

VINTAGE UKESJeanie Danielson

It has been said, “Time fl ies when you are having fun.” The Vintage Uke players have been having fun and have been playing together for a year. The group has approximately 27 members, and it is still growing.

The time has fl own by, and to mark a year of learning, the group had their fi rst performance at Fellowship Square, January 31st. The group played for an enthusiastic crowd, which included visitors from Sunland Village East. Enhancing the performance were piano, omnichord, and guitar players, along with a hula dancer and a well-informed mistress of ceremonies who informed the audience of many things including little known facts about the ukulele.

The group continues to hone their ukulele skills, as they are now getting ready to play for the SVE Veterans Club, March 21st. Although not confi rmed, the Vintage Ukes may be playing on the patio at Fat Willy’s, just for a time of pure fun!

Currently, Lyn Langton has a beginner’s ukulele class at 1:15 on Wednesdays in the Saguaro room. There will be no more new classes until fall, and the regular group will continue to meet at 2:00 pm every Wednesday in the Saguaro room.
