Eighty-two residents came to our best potluck dinner ever. Many thanks to Paula Beck and Mary Kay Lynch for their efforts in making this so special.
Alan Bennett opened Thursday morning coffee hour by giving the invocation and leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Linda Files moderated the conversation. In attendance were 142 residents and guests.
My pick for volunteer of the week is Dan Bluhm. Dan quietly does so much for our community. He works with the maintenance committee, summer committee, and watches for issues and handles them before they become problems. Dan, with the help of his wife, Vicki, is responsible for the beautiful butterflies that have come to Gem Estates. Shirley Czysz was the lucky person to find one this week.
