The snowbirds are starting to leave Grand Horizons after spending a great winter with many activities that we had previously and brand new ones to boot.
There is enough going on each day to keep anyone busy. Between shuffleboard, bingo, mahjongg, cribbage and so much more, you don’t have to stop and think what to do next. We have enough luncheons, shows, meetings, card games and additional things for us to get together with our neighbors to socialize and mingle.

Approximately 25 people went to an AARP Safe Driving course. From what I understand from talking to some of the people, the course went over some driving and safety tips. They also saw a video, and because of taking this course can get a reduction on their auto insurance.
On March 28,we had more than 90 people at the pancake breakfast. This was the first pancake breakfast that we went to in a long time, and it turned out to be as good as other people had mentioned. Needless to say, it certainly will not be the last.
Now, in addition to egg n’ bag, we have another breakfast to add to our list — pancakes and more. The breakfast was hosted by Colleen Crandall and Rosemary Semian, and they had several helpers.
Then, at 7 p.m., we were treated to a great movie called “Last Vegas” starring Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen. The cast in the show was fantastic. It was about three 60-something friends who take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single friend. The movie night was hosted by Cheryl Leone, and all who came had a terrific time and enjoyed some popcorn.
This is one of the new activities, and it is a big hit.
