Social Committee For those of you who attended the Mardi Gras thanks for coming. We did have a good time. The food was good, the DJ kept the floor full and there did seem to be a lot of laughing going on. As usual the social committee members did an outstanding job with the decorating. I often don't give the committee enough credit for all they do, but without the committee and friends we would have just a plain old Ballroom. This committee spends hours and hours planning, buying (looking for bargains) and decorating for all of our events. Kudos to all of you. Tickets sales will end on May 25 for our annual Fashion Show and Tea held on June 1, starting at 12 pm. There will be a tea before the show starts and all of the models will be Four Seasons residents. Along with Chico's, we will have the wig ladies and also a lady who makes jewelry. This is always a sell-out event so don't wait too long to get your tickets. Don't forget our upcoming Family Feud game show that will be held on June 20. Tickets will go on sale May 7, and will be available until June 19. Ticket price is $15 per person and will include snacks, coffee, water and punch. Remember you can buy a table of eight or individual tickets. If you buy individual tickets you will be placed at a random table and that Communication Committee Bistro Committee will become your team. Expect to have a really good time. We are still working on plans for the Candid Camera show which will be held on Aug. 3. This also should be a night of remembrance. Who could forget the Candid Camera TV show and some of the unforgettable stunts they pulled on the unsuspecting audience. Tickets for this event will be $10 per person. Watch the Breeze for further details. ~ Melody Seewoster If your club, group, or team would like to have an event on the calendar, please e-mail Bobbie Eckel at Eckel2b@aol.com and Cindy Graves at Cindy Graves cindyg@euclidmanagement.com no later than the 7th of the month for the following month's publication.

A new garbage disposal has been installed and is working well. Bids have been received for replacement of the dishwasher and approved by the Finance committee. Due to the noise from the kitchen into the Ballroom, a new door arrangement from the Kitchen to the Ballroom, is being studied by several vendors. Bids will be coming in soon. We discussed having service dogs in the Bistro area. The next meeting is May 28, at 11 am, in the Lodge Conference Room. All homeowners are invited to attend. ~ William Taylor Pool-goers: With the pool season upon us, please remember to clean up after yourselves when picnicking or purchasing food from the Bistro. We have trash cans throughout the pool enclosure for your convenience. Thank you for your consideration. Ad Hoc Water Management Our annual average rainfall for the first quarter of the year is twelve inches. In 2013, we received four inches. Our consumption has remained low due to the cold weather in February and March. It remains to be seen if we will have severe drought conditions during the warm months. A homeowner concern not solely related to landscape water is the pressure of water that is delivered to houses and yards. The normal range of water pressure in a residence is 40 psi to 80 psi. There is no rule about how much pressure is best for your house, as everyone's needs are different. However, anything below 40 psi will likely lead to poor performance of devices that use water. Anything higher than 80 psi could lead to damage, such as blown sprinkler heads or ruptured pipes. Check your pressure regularly by attaching a pressure gauge to an outdoor faucet and turning on the water. It has been documented that water pressure in Four Seasons is as high as 90 psi. Most homes contain a water pressure regulator. This device regulates how much pressure water is allowed to enter a home. The regulator sits along the main water line, usually inside or outside the garage. The regulator does not have a gauge that points to how much pressure is coming through the pipe. Homeowners can buy a gauge for about $10 and measure their pressure by attaching it to a hose bib. On the Internet, go to eHow.com and search "What Is the Normal Water Pressure for a House?" and "How to Adjust the Pressure Valve for Indoor Plumbing." We meet the first Monday of the month. ~ Len Tavernetti Community News | FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2013 19
