SPOTLIGHT ON ACTIVITIESSPOTLIGHT ON ACTIVITIESGOLFGOLF

Golf: “A long walk with bad arithmetic…”Golf: “A long walk with bad arithmetic…”The year was 1984…the beginning of

where we now call home. Farnsworth Development had been developing projects in the East Valley since 1959. After successfully launching two previous communities in the area, they broke ground on their third, Sunland Village East, on Baseline Road, 1.5 miles East of Power Road.

Sunland Village East was designed to eventually have 2,800 homes, garden condominiums, rental apartments, and a wide selection of amenities. The crown jewel of this development was to be an 18 hole Executive Golf Course.

November 4, 1986 saw the opening of the fi rst nine holes. The front nine brought a 1,820-yard, 31-par challenge with three scenic water hazard lakes thrown in just for fun. The driving range opened soon after, and a “Pro Shop” located in a trailer close to the fi rst tee, gave the course a professional ambiance. Now, if one is to be accurate, they might have noticed the sod covering

the greens, the fairways with a fi ne share of shrubbery, and the tee boxes that were soon to be covered with sod, and in a couple of weeks, the fairways would be seeded. Progress came in small increments.

In 1985-1986 money, $450.00 bought a single annual membership for the season, and double memberships were only $750.00. The club had 32 members in its fi rst season and was expected to reach 60 in 1987.

A real sense of pride in the course came in August, 1988 when the new Pro Shop and space for a restaurant started construction. With this addition and the increase in new homes and condominiums around the community, the Village was not just a Village any longer. November of 1987 would see the fi nal nine holes completed. Already a challenge, the new back nine stretches 1,649 yards from the men’s tees and includes four par fours and fi ve par threes. Back then, you could not fi nd many courses that compared to it anywhere in the East Valley. One of the amazing facts about

this fi ne course is to compare the green fees then of $13.00 and those of today!

By the end of 1997 and the fi rst months of 1998, a major change took effect. The Farnsworth Group sold the Sunland Village East Golf course to the

members. As with every transaction of this magnitude, a few grumbles were heard, but in the end, the course became as it is today, owned by the members.

In a questionnaire distributed to 1,500 amateur and professional golfers by neurologists at UCLA, 28% responded that they are often affl icted by involuntary muscle spasms and jerks known popularly by such names as yips, twitch, staggers, waggles, jitters and jerks. Isn’t Golf Great?

CHAPEL NOTESPastor Richard Koerselman

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table three objects: A Bible, a silver dollar and a bottle of whiskey.

“I’ll just hide behind the door,” the old preacher said to himself, “And when he comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which object he picks up. If it’s the Bible, he’s going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the silver dollar, he’s going to be a businessman,

and that would be okay too. But if he picks up the bottle of whiskey, he’s going to be a no-good drunkard, and Lord, what a shame that would be.”

The old father waited anxiously and soon heard his son’s footsteps as he entered the house whistling and heading for his room. He tossed his books on the bed and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, the boy walked over to inspect them. Finally he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big swig. “Lord have mercy,” the old, country preacher whispered, “My son’s gonna be a Congressman!”

There was a day when a career in politics was a noble profession. If a son

or daughter told their parents they were running for a political offi ce, the family would have been proud. Today, not so much. Most parents would fear their kid’s reputation would be put through a paper shredder with all the dirt and mudslinging that goes on.

Second Corinthians 4:7 says: “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” At times we all look, talk and act like fragile jars of clay, but much to our amazement, God continues to use us to get his work done in the world. Why? Because he has placed a treasure inside each and every one of us.

So let’s continue to hope, pray and believe that God’s grace and power will shine through the cracked pots that we are!

THANK YOUSThank you to all my friends and neighbors for the cards,

phone calls, running errands, rides to doctors and emergency room during my month long illness. It has been said before, but needs repeating, there is no place or people willing to help their neighbor like Sunland Village East. I have been a resident here for 29 year, and consider it the smartest move I ever made.Dee Koplin

We want to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers and cards in memory of our daughter Sandy Kusch who died on 2/2/16. It is very comforting to know we have so many wonderful friends in SVE. Your love and support is greatly appreciated.Don and Carol Wesolowicz

BE A WATCHFUL NEIGHBOR

Recently a resident had a frightening, life threating experience when she fell in her home. Unable to get up, she laid on the fl oor for several days calling for help, but no one heard. Eventually a neighbor realized she had not been seen and went to check. She heard a faint cry for help and called 911.

Many SVE residents live alone, and this sad story makes us realize how important it is to have a backup plan if this should happen to you.

Ask your neighbors (more than one if possible) to notice if you aren’t out and about like usual to check to make sure you are ok. Do make sure you tell them if you will be away so they don’t worry.

Set up a plan with them to notice if your newspaper has not been brought in by a certain time.

Arrange for a morning phone call from a friend or family member.

Open a curtain or blind that can be seen from the street as a signal to neighbors when you are up in the morning.

Sign up for a life alert device that is worn at all times. In case of a fall or other emergency, you simply push a button for an immediate response.

The resident continues to recover from the ordeal she went through, and may this incident serve as a reminder to all how important it is to be a watchful neighbor.

No Summer DeliveryHome delivery of the Outlook will stop with this issue and

resume in the fall when winter residents return. The paper will be delivered to the Activity room next to the offi ce. Pick up your copy there on or near the fi rst of each month. Be a good neighbor, and take several papers to place under your mailbox. Please hold them down with a rock, and remove any that remain after a few days.

You may also read the Outlook online by going

to svehoa.com. Go to main menu on left side of screen, scroll down to Village Info and click on Outlook Newsletter and select the month.

Thanks to Kathy Meemken and her dedicated crew for getting the paper to your door each month.

GOLF CONDO ICharolette Ludwig

At our annual meeting in February, new offi cers were elected as follows: Gary Ludwig, President; Dick Keim, Vice President; Karen Warman, Treasurer; Maynard “Pudge” Soderberg, Secretary; Lillian Johs, Member-at-large. Our next Board Meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m. in the Saguaro Room on April 20th. Please plan to attend!

We had so much fun this year! Our “Condo Picnic Party” in January was fun….I hope you liked the ants and the picnic baskets that we gave away. Our February car show was HUGE! We welcomed several people in the village that came to see what we were doing! We will do that again next February! Our golf outing in March is always a fun day. A big “THANK YOU” to all who helped with the planning and clean-up of these events!

All of this means that winter is just about over and it is time for our winter residents to start fl ying/driving back to their home state. We will all be returning to the corner of “friendly & fun” sometime between October and January. Have a wonderful summer! God bless you and your family

GOLF CONDO IIThe excitement for our area was the selection of Harold

Bosshart for Channel 5 “Pay it Forward.” Harold’s usual modest demeanor was evident as one viewed the fi lming results on TV. Congratulations, Harold!

Our web page developed by AAM together with Cheryl Berg is up and running. Website is www.svecondo2.org. It’s necessary to create a username ((e-mail address) and password. When signing in a Welcome screen appears and Drop Down Menus are across top of the page. Your profi le can be set up if you check the appropriate box. Try it. I did and found it extremely easy to use and I don’t consider myself computer profi cient. Under “HOA Services” there is information such as “Tips for Assoc. Living”, “How to Use This Website”, and “FAQs”.

Our Board members for the upcoming year are Gerry Tillman, Melvin George, and Mel Klooster.

Scott Rowe, #213, is Men’s 18-Hole Golf Champion for SVE. Bill Veach, #258, is 9-Hole Champion. Congratulations to Scott and Bill.

Fifty-six residents participated in the March 5th Golf Tournament. First place team was Steve Marlatt, Marion Ward, Margaret Ahern, and Larry McGinis. The picnic following was well attended with 131 of us enjoying the delicious ham and variety of food.

Our March 15th social was the Farewell Party with a 50’s and 60’s theme. For those who will be here to read May OUTLOOK, I hope to have a comment or two on the 50’s and 60’s costuming. Huge thank you to our social committee for their year’s work. Much thought and creativity is involved and always accompanied with smiling face. Residents fi nd many fun things to do in driveways including Line Dancing, Ladder Golf, Bean Bag Toss, and Happy Hours.

PANCAKE BREAKFASTEd Malone

We got off to a fast start at the March 5th breakfast. We had served 90 guests by 7:05AM. All in all we had a VERY GOOD turnout. We had 644 guests including 5 younger people. The line moved steadily, and thanks to all our guests we always had a spot for them to sit. Last year we had 744 guests. Where did the others go? Was it because of our price increase? Our profi t for breakfast amounted to $2386.23, that’s $254.48 more than last month.

I want to give Les Warren, Cliff and Judy Lowum a SPECIAL THANK YOU. We pulled them out of retirement to fi ll in for four of our volunteers who were out due to illness or injury. We had to make some adjustments to who was doing what, but the team did an excellent job as usual.

Our fi nal breakfast for this season will be April 2nd. Hope to see you ALL there.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT – John HewittThis Board set goals last year and accomplished many of

them. Goals not accomplished last year, in addition to new ones for 2016, are prioritized. In order to show transparency and eliminate any false rumors, we are exploring options on how best to accomplish these goals in a manner that best meets the current needs of SVE, some of which we will briefl y discuss today. Goals set by the Board are thoroughly researched and may require review of national, state and local laws, obtaining legal opinion from our attorney, a vote of the residents or, in most cases approval of the Board at a regular meeting. At times, special meetings and study sessions are necessary as well. The Board receives and appreciates all input from residents; input that assists the Board in making very important decisions. Once the Board thoroughly evaluates all options, decisions are made, again in a manner that will best benefi t the current needs of SVE. The monthly board meetings are informative and we encourage all residents, especially the winter visitors who would like to be kept abreast of events that may come up during the summer, to attend.

We furnish all table service items and water to drink for the meal.

Our dinner is always followed by a program of some kind. It can be anything from games, to a musical performance, to a travelogue, to an informative talk. For April’s program we have invited two younger couples from our area, Mark and Lori Rogers and Kevin and Libby Beeson, to come to tell us about their very, interesting and unusual trip to Thailand last summer.

These talented people will keep us not only entertained but probably spell bound.

All are invited. If you would like to attend, please call Darlene Dalley at 480-986-6985 to advise us you are coming so that we may be sure we have adequate table seating space. We would love to see you there.

DRAMA CLUBConnie Young

The fi nal curtain went down on a fantastic show. “Killer Reviews” was a suspenseful delightful, who done it, that kept you intrigued from beginning to end.

The cast and crew thank you for coming to our 2016 production. We especially thank our illustrious director, Vickie Briscoe and tireless helpers Char and Edwina.

Life was hectic these past few weeks, with long rehearsals and much memorizing. Amidst the hard work was the thrill of being on stage, under the lights, and the interaction between newfound friends and neighbors of SVE.

As the fi nal applause sounds, we bid you adieu… until next year.

SUNSATIONALSThe offi cial year of the Sunsationals

Tap Dance Club is wrapping up as many of the dancers are winter residents. We always love having them return in the Fall. The Spring Luncheon was held, with minutes read, treasurer’s report given and committee reports discussed. We are a well organized group besides having such a great time.

The social climate never changes. The dancers made an excursion into Phoenix to watch Dancing with the Stars, having dinner before the event. They met for lunch at Serrano’s Mexican Restaurant, and in April are going to the Gammage to see 42nd Street.

A highlight last month was having a visit from Channel 3 News’, Good Morning Arizona featuring Olivia Fierro. The broadcast was highlighting hidden talents, and tap dancing was Olivia’s. She discovered our dance club through our website (www.Sunsationals.org). The station interviewed our President, Linda Peterson, and also our longest standing member, Dixie Stewart. Olivia joined us in practice, easily recalling her soft shoe and buffalo steps. She is even cuter in person and her visit was totally delightful.

Even though we say good-by to some of our winter residents, many of us keep dancing until May. We are getting ready for a fantastic show in 2017!

SUNLAND STICHERSFreda Klein

You may have heard the Sunland Stitchers have been offered a long arm quilting machine. We are researching several options as to where to house it. We are planning to submit a proposal with several options to the SVE HOA Board for their consideration so we can accept this generous donation.

Elaine Ekdom has gone through our stash and has come up with a bag full of charity kits that several ladies have put parts together with other quilters remarking on how clever the tops are. There are two or three member’s machine quilting our charity quilts who took part in Rita Weirs’ machine quilting three part lessons. More talents being displayed. Thanks to all who have been involved in the many hours donated in the design, selection of fabric, cutting, sewing by machine, layering, pinning for quilting, quilting, sewing binding by machine, hand sewing the binding and lastly, sewing on a label.

We wish to thank Paul Christoffers for his donation to the Stitchers in the name of Charles Dunning and Pat Meiers who have joined SVE. We can add more supplies we run out of in a hurry.

The Craft Show last month was a success and our Quilt Show was also a big hit.

A wine, cheese and fruit party was enjoyed the following Monday after the Quilt Show.

Good choices.

SVE ACTIVESINGLES

Marie MarshallWe want to welcome our new member, Carol Bolduc

to the club. We are hoping for lots of new members this year so if you are single please come and join us on Wednesday evenings. We meet in the Mesa Verde Room from 6pm-8:30pm for cards, games, and lots of laughs.

Don’t forget our annual Pizza Party will be on April 13 this year and as usual you may bring a guest but the members will get a huge discount on the dinner of pizza, salad, and ice cream sandwiches. The member discount on our special parties during the year more than make up for your dues. This club is not only fun but it is a real bargain! Another excellent reason to come and join us.

Our March activity committee did a great job on our activites and the April committee didn’t want to be out done so look at the fun things planned for April:

First Event: Lunch at the Spaghetti Factory in Phoenix on Tuesday, April 12 at 12:00 pm. We will go via the Light Rail to Phoenix. Deadline for sign up is April 6. Separate checks. We will meet for carpooling in the north parking lot at 10am. The driver fee will be $2.00. Contact person: Dolores Ziobrowski, 480-984-7801.

Second Event: Gar-Bage game in the Mesa Verde Room on Sunday, April 17 from 1-3pm. Cost is $1.00. Deadline for sign up is April 13. Meet at the event. Contact person: Della Manning, 480-380-8794. Everyone had a blast the last time we played.

Third Event: Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix at Velda Rose United Methodist Church at 5540 E. Main in Mesa on Sunday, April 24 at 3:00pm. Cost is $20 at the door and $15 for those over 65.

A member of the June Activity committee should arrive at the April Board meeting on April 18 at 5:30pm to present the May activities to the Board.

DOGS ‘R US

L. PaulsenThis picture is Beje, newly rescued dog of Bill and Janet

Davis. They have written the following about the new love of their life.

Our beloved BJ was put to sleep at the end of December. He had Cushings disease and just could not recover. He was almost 14. We were devastated. However, God does indeed work in mysterious ways. Four days later a friend called us from a PetSmart to tell us that Valley of the Sun Rescue was there and had the perfect dog for us. She was right! BeJe (bee gee) is a 2-year-old black, white and gray Shih Tzu, and completely housebroken. She had been thrown from a car; a woman following in another car stopped and picked her up. She was rescued to the shelter, and we rescued her from there. She loves to play “fetch” and actually brings the toy back! She learned to use the doggie door in about 2 minutes. She sleeps with Bill...both afternoon nap and all night. He loves it! She has brought us nothing but love and joy and has been the perfect answer to our grief over losing BJ.

A lot of the dogs in SVE had been rescued from abusive situations. What you read or see on TV about animal abuse is too true. There are agencies all over the U.S. trying to rescue as many abused animals as they can, and take their owners to court to be held responsible for abandoning, starving, or physically abusing their animals. We can help by donating to these many agencies or dog shelters.

‘Thank You’ to all who donated the supplies needed by dog shelters and foster homes. Valley of the Sun Rescue will receive our donations this year.

Our last meeting for the season will be April 16. MV room, 9:30 a.m.

LAPIDARY AND SILVERSMITH CLUB

Sharleen HarveyWinter Visitors, we wish you a safe trip home. If you

have developed an interest in the lapidary and silversmith hobbies, we hope you have opportunities to expand your interest during the summer and look forward to your return to SVE next season.

The annual Valentine’s potluck had a record number of members in attendance and the social time was enjoyed by all. On the afternoon of February 29th a successful soldering class was held. Club members; Bob Urlaub, Connie Gish, Linda Ritchie, and Margie Ginnaty instructed newer members in developing this silversmith skill. A metal sawing class will be held whenever there are members needing help with that task.

Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make the Sloppy Joe Lunch at the March Arts and Crafts Fair a successful fund raiser for the club.

The workshop is open 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Monday through Friday. Watch for summer hours to be posted on the front door of the workshop.

ART CLUB NEWSDiane Moore

Thanks to all who came to admire our art work at the Photo and Art Club Show on March 6! It was fun for us and we hope it inspired you to try art as a relaxing and fun hobby. We had Elin Dumney demonstrating pastels, Jerry Carter and Patti McKenzie watercolor, Phyllis Craig drawing, Meredith Yoder colored pencil, and Cheryl Pearson demonstrating watercolor pencil.

The photo is of Patti McKenzie’s beautiful masa paper winter scene. Something to keep you cool through the summer months.

Our president is Pauline Bergman, secretary, Maria McMillan, Treasure, Arlene Gaviola and Elin Dumney. Vice president, Barbara Hesse.

sports BOCCE

Mariellen MooreMarch was a full month. The leagues were completed and

medals were presented to the winning team members A Guys and Gals tournament on the 12th was followed by a pizza feast. Two weeks later, the annual Hamburger Fry completed the culinary offerings until Fall.

The nominating committee presented a slate of candidates to replace retiring board members and the vote took place at the Spring meeting (March 29.)

Just a reminder, beginning April 4, open bocce will cover the 6:30 pm slot on Monday through Thursday and will continue until July. If hot weather interferes, causing an earlier break, you will be notifi ed by email and/or call if there are any changes in the schedule.

COUPLES GOLFJudy Hileman

Could it be April already? We see friends packing up every day! The season has gone quickly.

Our Annual Couples Golf Tournament was held over a two week period. Round one was played February 26 and round two was March 4. The Awards Banquet on the regular social date, March 11 was catered by Fat Willy’s featuring Chicken Cordon Blu and fi sh.

The putting contest on our “new” putting greens was a challenge with the slightly sloping elevation and quick drop off after the cup! Each winner received a new putter! Congratulation to our new Golf Couple Champions, too. Our new champions show excellence in golf by coming in fi rst in their game against all our couple’s golfers. We had winners in our 18 hole and 9 hole competitions. Winners in all categories got chits from the pro shop so they can pick out their own prizes.

Mark your calendars for the Farewell Potluck on April 8. We will be entertained for the evening by our own talented karaoke singers.

Soon we will be saying good bye to our winter residents. May you all have a safe journey, a nice summer and a safe and speedy return next fall! Golf events continue over the summer with our SVE SUMMER GOLF REUNION to be held on July 13 and 14 at Dakota Winds Golf Course in North Dakota. For information on lodging and an entry form contact Judy and Dennis Olson or Tom and Kathy Shea. Rooms are available on July 12 with a golf game on July 13 and the tournament play on July 14. Golf and meals are included for July 13 and 14. The event is a fun get-together of our golf friends from all over the country, so get out your maps and plan a fun trip!

Remember, golf social is every Friday at 5:00 pm in the auditorium all year long. Come on over with your snacks, drinks and latest golf story! See you there.

FITNESS CENTERGary Chestek

The camera security system in place, helps protect our facilities. However, residents who notice unauthorized individuals in the centers are encouraged to respectfully ask those people to secure a (6) six digit entry code from the Association Offi ce.

Following surgical intervention for shoulders, knees, hips, and back issues, our residents have taken advantage of the DVD tapes we provide for their physical therapist. The Sci-Fit, Octane and Hoist equipment are ideal for a fast post-surgical recovery. Several post-surgery residents have responded positively after using the equipment for their rehab.

From November thru March, we offer instruction on the equipment each Tuesday at 10:00 AM. We only ask you to sign up ahead of time at the desk in the fi tness center.

As summer is fast approaching, the roller shades in the South Center will be adjusted to the changing sun exposure. This helps maintain a pleasant cool environment in the facility and minimizes the potential ultra violet sun damage to the interior.

I want to personally thank our wonderful SVE residents and guests for their positive feed-back and continued support.

SVE LADIES GOLFGayLynn Brewer

The SVE Ladies Golf League ladies enjoyed a busy month of golf in March as the winter season comes to an end for another year. The annual Ladies Spring Award’s Luncheon was held on March 23rd. Many of the ladies played in the Home & Home with Sunland Village on March 29 and 31.

The winners of Championship and Handicap Tournament held during February were presented plaques during the luncheon. They are:

Linda Zanarini 18 hole champion Sue Beaver 9 hole championTammy Morgan 18 hole handicap GayLynn Brewer 9 hole handicapOur fi nal scheduled event for the winter season will be a 9

and 18 hole scramble and social time on April 7th. We hope to see everyone there. Summer play will begin in May.

PickleballMary Ann Anderson

March has been a busy month for the Pickleball Club. Our annual Banquet on March 5 was a huge success. 125 members and guests attended the Hawaiian Luau event. The Hub catered the dinner. Hula dancers entertained with audience participation that was as much fun to be part of as it was to watch! A big thanks goes to Sylvia Norman and Linda Johnson, co-chairs, for a well-organized successful event.

SVE Pickleball players traveled to Sunland Springs Village for an Invitational. SVE hosted Carriage Manor for an Invitational on March 8. Chalk Talk brought Carolyn Bagley to our Courts for instruction. Carolyn is a 5.0 tournament player who gave our players much to think about and techniques to practice.

Gerald Warman and other SVE players gave lessons this winter. Thank you Gerald and all who helped with the lessons. Lessons have ended for now but will resume in the fall.

Round Robin and Ladder play are over for this season and will start again in the fall

Helga and Moody Welman and Mary Ann and Dennis Anderson hosted our monthly club meeting, with a social and dinner that was held in the Mesa Verde room.

Play will continue thru the Spri ng and Summer. The Courts are full of happy energetic players from novice to advanced. Come to the Courts and give Pickleball a try. You’ll be glad you did!

THANKS!!The SVE Softball Club would like to thank all 1,013 or

our friends in the Village for their support of our annual “Hamburger Fry” fund raiser. The Fry proceeds are used to purchase uniforms, fi eld equipment and maintenance items, along with improvement projects for the fi eld.

Our SVE softball fi eld is the envy of many retirement villages and parks in the east valley. Not only do we have an excellent fi eld, with a new LED scoreboard, but we are the only organization to have, in addition, a year-round practice softball fi eld, with equipment for play always open to residents and their guests. No other village or RV park has one!

Without the timely support of our wonderful residents, we would not have been able to have a successful event. Thanks again to all!

Volleyball NewsVolleyball enthusiasts are wanted. Come one, come all...

at 8:00 AM each morning, behind the south complex, to take part in some fun, relaxing play. A love of exercise, meeting new fellow residents, and some ability at getting a volleyball over the net, are the only requirements! It is a fun hour of lively playing. Once a month we meet at the Mesa Verde Room, also at the south complex, for a potluck dinner. Our next will be April 4th at 5:00 PM. Please remember to bring your favorite dish to share plus your own table settings. Coffee and lemonade are provided, or bring your special beverage!

Mark your calendars now! Monday through Saturday at 8:00 AM for playing, April 4th at 5:00 PM for eating. Hope to see you there.

Any questions? Call Ted Linde, 480-6565-0330.

Tennis TalkDiana Roskuski

The March Championships tournament provided a wonderful opportunity to showcase our tennis facilities and the SVE community to nearly 400 players and literally thousands of spectators from 15 other East Valley communities. Many of us have relocated to SVE following exposure during League and tournament play.

Most of our 250 Tennis Club members volunteer in multiple capacities during the Championships, and their work is appreciated! Money earned from the Championships is directly reinvested in maintaining our equipment and facilities. Special thanks to Tournament Director John Masquelier, and Concession

Director Marilyn Owen.SVE had 18 teams participating,

plus two men in the 4+ round robin. We are so proud of our medalists: 2nd place: Dorothy Danielson and Barb Stephenson (1.5); Lois Krejci and Kathy Fackrell (4.0); Tom Bostock (4+); 3rd place: Leslie Randall & Lin-Da Stougard (3.0); 4th place: Gary Larson & Craig Beacock (2.0); Ron Johnson & Rich Milburn (3.5).

A generous group of members purchased a total of 56 pies at the annual auction to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society on February 21st. More than $5600 was raised that day, and will sponsor the SVE Tennis Club team in the November MS walk at the Phoenix Zoo.

League and tournament play have ended for the season, and the Club’s “Last Hurrah” event was held on March 19th .

Offi cers for the 2016-17 season are: Gary Larson, president; Cecilia Hopper, VP; Lin-Da Stougard, secretary; Tom Maitrejean, treasurer, and Roger Betts, past president.

We want to say “thank you” to all our wonderful members for a great season, and to all our SVE neighbors (including Shuffl eboard and Horseshoe Clubs) who so graciously put up with the crowds that show up for league and tournament play.

All residents are invited to participate in Round Robin play at 7 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the tennis courts.

shuffl eboard until about the end of April so come on out and join us. Start time is 9:00 am, with a second game about 10:00 am. We play Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings in what we call jackpot or individual games. Some play one game and some play two. Each game takes about an easy hour.

This year we were able to fi nish our Single’s Tournament on schedule and are pleased to announce that the 2016

winner is Boyde White. Dick Conroy is the consolation winner.

At our spring business meeting prizes and certifi cates of appreciation were awarded. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the members who keep our boards in good playing shape. Our President is Marion Yoder.

For the past 10 years, the SVE Tennis Club has held a pie auction to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis. The following article was written by Doug Mykol, a board member of the Arizona Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society who himself has MS and is confi ned to a wheelchair:

My MS Magic WALK team’s arch rival and friendly competitor Leatrice Dewey holds an annual Pie Auction in Sunland Village East, with all proceeds going to SVE Tennis Stars WALK MS team. (We were neck and neck in top fundraising last year!)

Team Captain, Leatrice lives with MS and has been part of Arizona MS fundraising for many years. Her team is a rowdy group of tennis playing and golfi ng seniors, mainly all living in SVE. She has an impressive circle of friends and supporters. All great people! Each year, her team holds an annual pie auction.

PIE AUCTION? How’s that going to raise any money? Dorene and I arrived about 12:30, as they were just setting up an impressive pie “smorgasboard”. Lemon, Sour

Cream Raisin, Pecan, Millionaire Pie, Chocolate, Apple, Bumbleberry, Huckleberry, Strawberry, Oreo, Peach, and many more... It was obvious this was NOT their fi rst Pie Auction... The bakers meant business and the crowd knew exactly what they were there for... NOT just homemade pie!

Approximately 100 people came to bid on pies. I thought, “I can buy a pie at Safeway for $9.99... Is this worth the effort?” Pre-auction, everyone was laughing, having fun and needling each other on their tennis game. However, when things got rolling... things REALLY got rolling!!! All pies had a starting bid of $25! (Really?) That said, pies were fl ying off the tables! $25 - $30- $35 - $40 - $75 - $100! For a pie!? Some were quick sales averaging $30-$45 and some turned into bidding wars reaching $130+... FOR A PIE???

Several weeks ago, Leatrice asked me what my favorite pie was... Peanut Butter/Chocolate, of course! She had one of her lady friends bake a special Peanut Butter/ Chocolate pie for me. Of course, this auction was directed at me with an opening bid of $100. (It was probably the best Peanut Butter/

Chocolate pie I’ve ever had!!) Dorene waited patiently for a beautiful Lemon Meringue Pie... When it came to auction, it was a bidding war! $130 later, Dorene gets what Dorene wants!! She was in the spirit of the auction, and donated the pie back to be auctioned again. Another $120 raised AND the winning bidder shared a piece of the Lemon Meringue with us.

Then... a hush came over the crowd... the next item up for bid was a Sweet Onion Pie... huh? It sounded interesting and another bidding war ensued. This time I won at $100! Sweet Onion Pie is really good!! Savory. Perfect for breakfast or dinner. Not sweet, but not oniony, either! Reminded me of a scalloped potato dish!

Leatrice has an amazing network of friends and supporters in her community. In addition to pies sales, I saw several write checks for additional donations to NMSS!! Thanks Leatrice for what you do! This simple ZERO cost pie auction raised THOUSANDS of dollars for MS in just about 90 minutes!! Connections count.
