Although we've all been hibernating during the pandemic, please know that your Social Committee has been meeting on a monthly basis. We've had you at the forefront of our minds and have planned and canceled countless activities. However, now that some restrictions have been lifted, we're proud to say that we have the following events "tentatively" planned for 2021! Bagels & Paint, June 26, 11 am Mentalist Show, Aug. 14, 6 pm Comedy Show, Sept. 18, 6 pm Rock & Roll Show, Oct. 23, 6 pm New Years Eve, Dec. 31, 5 pm Flyers and event details will be on the Activities Blast and in the flyer racks in The Lodge Lobby, several weeks prior to each event. So, remember to sign up early as we believe our residents will be anxious and ready to purchase tickets. As a special treat, in lieu of this year's Fashion Show and in preparation for our Four Seasons 2022 Fashion Show, we have partnered with Chico's and White House Black Market to provide the following retail opportunity for you… good for purchases this May 1 - 22, 2021! So if you're wanting a new frock for Mother's Day or the latest casual wear for the upcoming summer season, this is your chance for retail therapy. Enjoy! We look forward to seeing you at this year's planned events. ~ Loretta Ramsey, lorettaramsey@aol.com Social Committee 26 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 Hello friends! As we move into summer, the Safety Committee wants you to know we are committed to making our community a safe environment in which to live. We care about you: • Additional benches will be installed around Four Seasons Circle for the convenience of our walkers. • As a reminder, driver and pedestrian safety should be a top priority as you travel in our community. Electric & Gas-Powered Cart Safety Tips: All residents should be familiar with the operation of your electric or gas-powered cart prior to operating the vehicle. In addition, please follow these guidelines: • Check or inspect your electric or gas-powered cart prior to operation to ensure that: Brakes are functioning properly. Tires are in good condition, not worn or under inflated. Horn and lights are operational. Mirrors (and windshield, if equipped) are clean and in good repair. Power supply cord and plug are not damaged. Note: Do not operate the cart if it is not in good operating condition! • Ensure that all passengers are sitting in designated, permanently installed seats. • Prior to starting the cart, look over both shoulders and check the mirrors to make sure that all passengers are fully and properly seated and ensure that pedestrians are away from the sides of the cart. • Do not load equipment on the cart bed so that it obstructs your vision (not stacking above provided guardrails is a good guideline). Ensure that all equipment and materials are secured and will not shift while the cart is in motion. • Obey all traffic signs and pavement markings. Never drive faster than it is safe and only as fast as conditions allow. • While the cart is moving, ensure that all passengers are fully and properly seated and that all parts of their body remain inside the cart. Note: Do not exit the cart until it is completely stopped. • Avoid standing water, potholes, bumps, loose gravel, or sand. • Yield to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic. • Slow down and yield to cross traffic at all unmarked or blind intersections. Additional Reminders: • Drivers: please refrain from eating or using phones or handheld devices while driving. • When leaving your cart for extended periods of time, it is a good idea to install a locking device on your steering wheel…many cart keys are interchangeable and could be used to drive off with your cart. • It is recommended only licensed drivers operate electric or gas- powered carts. • Do not forget… this isn't Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! Children should never be allowed to drive these vehicles. The Safety Committee wants you to know we are concerned for your safety and continue working to enhance the safety of our community. As a reminder, Safety Committee meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 10 am via Zoom or in the RCN Conference Room. We encourage you to join the meeting should you have any concerns or if you would simply like an update on our ongoing safety projects. ~ Frank Hilberg, hilberg frank@gmail.com Safety Committee Four Seasons Exclusive It's a fashion show… and you're the star!
