From the Manager’s desk...

Sundance 1 RV Resort

February, 2015

This is a reminder that if you are here at Sundance this season with a three month or longer reser-vation and you wish to reserve your current site for next season, you must do so prior to March 1st. This reminder is for ALL monthly guest and those with RV Annual reservation. This does not include Park Models.

From March 1 through March 14 we are accepting reservations from those who have been bumped by another guest or by management to allow for a new annual RV or for a new Park Mod-el. Starting March 15th we are accepting all reservations. We encourage all guests to stop by the office to talk about your reservation needs.

Weeds are a real problem this season. Please keep your site weed free. Remember if you book your site by the year, you must have a caretaker to watch your property when you are not here.

For those of you who buy cable or telephone from the park, please only pay for the amount of time you will need the service.

If you have quit smoking, congratulations! Keep in mind that No Smoking in all buildings goes for e-cigarettes—the same as regular cigarettes. For those who still smoke, please do not leave your cigarette butts on the ground.

All Park Model owners — please check your Park Model to see if it needs some TLC such as washing, waxing, painting of strips or repairs to steps.

We tried to give everyone a copy of the pet rules. If you were missed, we do apologize. Please come to the office and we will be happy to give you a copy.

Steve and Sally Jo Johnson, Managers

This park is like heaven to us so please do not drive like Hell through it.

Sunday Worship & Fellowship…

Sunday Worship and Fellowship Church service is at 8:30

AM each and every Sunday in the Hole-in the wall. Pastor

Sco� Bailey will lead us in worship again this year. Com-

munion is held the first Sunday of each month. Coffee

will be provided before Sunday services.

We are asking all of the wonderful folks here at Sundance

help with a season long food drive, by bringing cans of

food items to the ac)vity office for the Casa Grande food

bank. We also give money to the food bank to get things

for the needy as they can buy in bulk of the things they

need most, like beans and rice. Ray and Shari visit with the

food bank folks at the end of our season to find out where

our church can help with their needs. The food bank is one

of many out reach projects our church has in place.

As in the past years, this year we are having our school

children’s underwear drive. Sizes are girls 6-16 or small

ladies sizes, boy’s sizes 6-16. Drop off site is in the Ac)vity

Room (laundry basket marked for this use) we will have

this underwear drive all winter. This will be helping the

Casa Grande school children. If you have any ques)ons ask

the host on duty, call me, or drop by my site (267). Please

help with this project.

Our third project is ge<ng items for the Casa Grande

school nurse's systems, this is done three )mes a season.

The Casa Grande Hospital Children toy drive went

off great. These toys are given to children who are in the

hospital to make them feel be#er.

Our last church service this season will be April 5, 2015

Thanks everyone for your

SUPPORT

R C Cars..

Well, RC car racing is well underway, most racers are here now, and we have adjusted to our fantastic new paved track. As men-tioned last month, we worked as a team to build a new drivers stand, which awaits it's final coat of paint and a few signs as I type this report. To clear up some apparent confusion, this stand is not a spectator stand, but is for RC drivers to enhance their view of the track. We continue to welcome spectators, and suggest that you bring a chair, and sit back a few feet from the safety fence. Join us Monday, Wednesday, and most Friday's at 2:00 PM. Lo-cated in the sports complex, between shuffleboard and pickle ball. See you at the track! Bob Wood #43

Torchie Harden & Dave Rowan

I would like to thank all of you who

made the retirement party such a won-

derful time. I really appreciated all the

hard work that went into this special

party. The beautiful cards and well

wishes I received and the wonderful

stories you shared with me made my

heart smile. I will forever keep all of

you in my heart and I thank you for

allowing me to share part of your life

here at Sundance. I pray nothing but

the best for each of you and again,

Thank You for your love and support.

Torchie

Finding words adequate to convey

my feelings is difficult. The retire-

ment party held for Torchie and

me was wonderful and made me

feel so special. I am totally over-

whelmed with the cards, food, the

kind words, and all the people.

Thank you all for making that

night one of the best I have ever

had and one I shall never forget,

2015 Quilt Show at Sundance is Saturday, Feb. 28

Don’t miss this year’s Quilt Show featuring over 150 quilts crafted by our own talented quilters and those at Fairways, our sister park, too. The quilts and other quilted items will be on display at the Hole-in-the-Wall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28th. This is the 4th year. Our combined quilters have been busy creating charity/community quilts that are donated to local organizations. During the show, those will be on display on the fence around the pool area. In addition, there will be assorted quilted items for sale. Come and get great inspiration or just come to admire what your neighbors have created.

Lunch and beverages will be available from 11 a.m. - 3p.m. Freshly-grilled hamburgers or gourmet polish sausage can be purchased for $6 which includes condiments, chips, a cookie and coffee or lemonade. A snack plate of a cookie and drink can be purchased for $1.

There will also be a drawing for a quilt. Sundance and Fairways take turns creating the opportunity quilt as a fund-raiser. This year, Sun-dance provided an amazing queen-sized quilt in the modified Log Cabin design in hues of greens and golds. The quilt was created by Lucienne Colburne and Caroline McDonald with Sherry Cain completing the binding. The quilt is valued at over $1,000. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. Proceeds from the lunch and raffle quilt are used to purchase fabric and supplies to make quilts for community chari-ties.

Sundance and Fairways are also participating with the Fiesta Grande and Palm Creek quilters who will exhibit their quilts the same day at

their parks. Special door prizes will be available. So, come see what our talented quilters have created, them continue your day visiting

the other shows.

Attention Everyone!

What are you allergic to? If nothing congratulations! However, if you have

allergies you know how bad they can make you feel! As we all get older our

sense of smell is greatly affected especially by things that we all used to love.

Remember how romantic aftershave on your man or perfume on your lady

made you feel! WELL not anymore. Many of us in the park get headaches (yes

actual ones) or WORSE from the chemicals in the perfumes, lotions, soaps, etc.

We also are affected by any fragrances, even from flowers! Please, if coming

to any public room, do not use scented lotions, aftershave, perfumes etc. as you

never know when you’ll be asked to kindly wash it off. We love you but your

fragrant smell is killing us! Remember if you have used it for a long time, you

can’t smell it on yourself but others can smell you as soon as you arrive and

long after you are gone!
