| OHCC LIVING | AUGUST 2019 | 3 President's Message By Tom Murphy Winnie the Pooh: "A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the best things you can be." It is with mixed feelings that this final President's Message is written. Pooh Bear is added to the previous quotations from frogs, old rock musicians, Mr. Rogers, Monty Python, and others much smarter than this writer. Missed, will be the enjoyment of sharing thoughts to lighten the load, and in some ways to help us get over ourselves. I will also miss the challenge of your requests, but know that the new Master Board will be responsive to your questions. It has been a privilege to serve all of you. Aren't we lucky to be a part of the "year-round summer camp for adults" that is Ocean Hills Country Club? It has been the goal of this Board to work toward increasing the value of our homes, and the quality of our play. My hope is that we have made a small difference. The future is bright as the various Committees will continue to work on: • The Clubhouse interior renovation • Getting us well water • A restroom in the Overflow Parking • New Lanai design concepts that reflect your wishes • Understanding the best cable & alarm technology for our residents And I will work with these Committees on those tasks.

Thanks for the kind words from old and new friends, they helped so much. A very special thanks to the hardworking and understanding Committee members whose ideas have made a difference in all our lives. Thank you to our incredible staff for implementing those ideas. Thanks be to the three General Managers who have worked so hard to protect us. To this year's Board of Directors, thank you to those who stood up and voted for the Committee Recommendations that produced our many projects. And I want to thank Saint Betsy. Those who have known me the longest have called her a saint for thankfully staying with me for 56 years and counting. She has put in untold hours as executive assistant to this President… a job she performed well. She will be joining me in retirement. I want to remind everyone to vote. Remember what George Carlin said: "If you don't vote, you lose the right to complain."
