FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 15 By Cindy Graves Holy Moly, things are moving about as fast as the Beaumont winds blow! On April 8, the BOD approved our Orange Tier opening and there is an avalanche of requests coming in for room reservations. To be honest, I have barely been able to get a solid handle on the revamping of the room arrangements, so please forgive the barely accurate activities calendar this month. Do keep a steady watch on the Daily Report and Activities Blast for the latest information. I think that as we start reinitiating clubs, groups, and classes we'll post it on the Activities Blast through June until we can be sure the Breeze calendar at print date is more accurate than not. The good news is that HOORAY, we're feeling much more normal with some semblance of life as it was before the nasty Rona! I'm getting my planning/party hat on and you'll be noticing all kinds of fun activities around here starting with the following: • The ever-popular "Gail Games" is back on Friday, May 7 at 6 pm in The Lodge Ballroom. This month's group participation game will be the TV favorite "Match Game." Come out and enjoy a "Match box" dinner from the Kopper Kettle (if you like, order yours directly from the Bistro on the night of ), bring your favorite beverage, and play along with our Four Seasons celebrity guests. Prizes will be awarded to the winning table! There is no cost to attend and play. The event is open to the first 130 people. • Mother's Day is Sunday, May 9. We want you to be prepared to make something special for the mother in your life. On the Friday, May 7 Activities Blast we'll be showcasing our fabulous bartender, Alicia Rodriguez, who will be teaching a Mother's Day Mixology Class on "How to make Mother's Day Cookie Shots." You heard that right! Everyone wants to know how to make some novelty shots that taste like different cookies! I can't wait to watch and learn. Save the recipes for your Girls Night Out parties, too! • The Rutherford Wine orders that many of you folks ordered from the wine tasting event will be delivered Monday, May 10 at noon. Just come to The Lodge to pick up your order anytime after 12. • Got Blood? Want to give to the community at large during a major blood shortage? Well, we've arranged for you to be able to give at the convenience of your own Lodge. We will have two blood mobiles in The Lodge parking lot on Friday, May 14 from 9 am to 3 pm. There will be a number provided on the Daily Report and Activities Blast for you to call to make an appointment. You can stay in the safety of your car and will be texted when it is time for you to come into the mobile for your appointment. Social distancing and all safety measures will be observed. • Get your dancing shoes on and join Janine and Dave Rohrbacker for the first time in a long time "Step-it-up Line Dancing" Barn Burner in The Lodge Ballroom at 5 pm on Saturday, May 15. Feel free to bring your favorite food and beverages. There is no price of admittance, just come and have a good time! The dance will be open to the first 130 people. • Back by popular demand is our "Shred-It" event! Drive on over to The Lodge on May 22 from 9 am to 1 pm with all of your backlog of shreddable documents and files. The Board of Directors has generously approved FREE shredding until the truck is full. Just drive on up, pop your trunk and we'll unload it into the giant shredder. Here's a little something personal… cross your fingers and wish me luck… on May 29, I will be getting married and then going on a honeymoon until June 15. My assistant Rachel will be checking my voicemails while I'm gone and you may also email your requests to her at Rachel.stone@fsresidential.com. You'll still recognize me when I return because I'm maintaining my "stage name" Cindy Graves. Love you guys and see you when I return! Activities Director Corner We want your photos for a special look back at summer! We're looking for photos of you, or you and your mate, as a young adult enjoying some rays in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, or even 80s! Please email a high resolution scan of the photo with a caption that includes the first and last names of those in the photo to fourseasonsnews@yahoo.com. If you have any questions, call Courtney Taylor at (909) 797-3647. The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer…
