FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 13 Are we really in June already? Oh my gosh, how time flies when you are engaged with new learning experiences. Every day is presenting new opportunities to think out of the box to figure out new ways of engaging you wonderful residents. Who knows where Riverside County social distancing restrictions will be by the time this Breeze magazine comes out? I'm hoping we'll be able to get the dancers "doing their thing" outside as well as some of our other groups that are chomping at the bit to get going. Thankfully, not all things are on hold. The Pinochle Group figured out how to meet three times a week via an online pinochle virtual space where they can all come together and play with each other. The Bereavement Group has been getting together via Zoom to help each other, and Steve Edelman, our resident birding expert, has been providing all kinds of fascinating information for learning about our local birds and their habits. His virtual bird walks have been a lot of fun for folks. The Performing Arts Club has been ratcheting up the drama putting together new radio shows for everyone. A big thank you goes to Crafty Cardmakers (specifically, Maryalice Chorba) for putting together quarantine card-making kits for residents who have been missing their regular class so much. We're all getting so inventive with virtual contests. I'm sending another big thank you to the resident photographers who participated in many of the various photo competitions. I'm excited to see what kinds of integration we'll have in June with new virtual ideas mixed in with new in-person socializing (perhaps, at a distance). My wonderful Golf Cart Parade Group, the awesome Cars and Coffee Club and the magnificent motorcyclists are all standing ready to mount their vehicles and brighten up the neighborhood with a "happy days are on the way" parade. As soon as restrictions allow, we're on it. So practice cheering from your porch and driveways so you're in perfect form for the big day! Speaking of big days, May 13 was a day that we stopped and honored the hard work and efforts of the Board of Directors who have been working incredibly hard during the last four years. Most people don't realize how many hours, how much work, as well as blood, sweat, and tears are involved in this huge commitment. There's nothing quite like running a multi-million dollar corporation for free. It's really a thankless job; however, on May 13 we showed the BOD a little thanks. Under the cover of darkness, my team and I snuck over to Len Tavernetti's, Ed Paule's and Jolene Cooley's houses to "flock" their yards with plastic pink flamingos (toilet papering was way out of the question, given global affairs). We also presented them, as well as the other 2019-2020 BOD members, a "hangover basket," since serving as a Director can oftentimes be compared to recovering from a bad hangover. Of course they don't think of it that way, but the staff sees the constant challenges they face. We'd especially like to tip our hats to Len, as he has been a fearless, loving, and tireless leader, with his colleagues, the staff, and the community. His extensive knowledge of the community and all of its moving parts has served the community well. We hope we can call upon his expertise as a resource in years to come. A big, big thank you to all of the Directors for their incredible investment in Four Seasons! Now, a big welcome to the new Board members. Please be kind and encouraging to them as they get their feet wet in service to our community. Have a happy June everyone and I hope to see you around The Lodge this month, fingers crossed! You are dearly missed!
