8 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | August 2018 | Social Committee Hot! Hot! Hot! The Social Committee and all of the members and volunteers would like to thank everyone who braved the heat to celebrate our "All American 4th of July." 317 residents, friends and families came together for fun, food and games. The day kicked off with an early cart parade of about 50 decorated carts. They were cheered along by lots of residents lining the streets of the route. The Golf Cart/Flag Club thanks everyone who helped to make this fun event a big success. The festivities were opened by Hal Townend with a salute to the flag and Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moving poem about "That Ragged Flag." Our own Vintage Voices then led us in the Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America and America the Beautiful. It was a wonderful way to get our party started. We ate a traditional barbecue of hot dogs and hamburgers, topped off by apple pie from our favorite resident chef, Francisco. Our thanks to all the staff for their hard work and keeping that water and ice tea flowing. There were fun carnival games including a dunk tank. I think Russ Brown took the lead as most dunked. We would also like to thank Dave and Bev Habig for taking those photos at the kissing/ photo booth and at the cart parade too. We started dancing the night away under our new patio lights to the great music of Nitro Express and ended our evening with a happy farewell to 4th of July 2018. The Social Committee thanks everyone who helped to make this a fun event. Thanks to all the residents, the Board of Directors, Rick Ruth and Louise Ceccarelli, the support staff and handyman. We couldn't have done this without everyone. It does take a village, or in our case, Four Seasons.
