40 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2022 Fantastic news! The African American Cultural Club is hosting a fabulous gala for all residents of Four Seasons. Ladies, come dressed in your finest gowns. Men, come in your most dapper tuxedoes. The Ballroom will be decorated to fit that of a king and queen. And the food: filet mignon, Beef Wellington, and chicken smothered in white wine sauce – delicious! The music will be soft and mellow, spicy and hot, blues and jazz. "Oh," you say, "Count me in! What's the date?" April 1, 2022. APRIL FOOL! (sort of ), but more on that later. Speaking of April Fool's Day… this is not the only thing the month of April is known for. The symbolic meaning of the month of April is to dictate your actions and focus on stuff that will truly make you happy. In other words, your life will become a reality if you are willing to pursue your dreams and work to achieve them. How does that tie into the fabulous gala mentioned above? This event was created by the AACC and will become a reality in the form of the AACC Christmas Gala on Dec. 16, 2022. The AACC is ready and willing to put the work into making our dream Christmas Gala a reality. If you are interested in helping us make this event as fabulous as described, or any of our other future events just as spectacular, we are looking for you! Please save the following dates: Juneteenth: June 17 AACC 10th Anniversary Celebration (a White Party): Aug. 13 Jazz Under the Stars: Oct. 2 AACC Christmas Gala: Dec. 16 Each of these events will be amazing. The AACC dreamed it and WE will put the work and effort into it. If you are looking to meet warm and friendly people, be active and involved in our community, and a part of a club "on the move," please join us for our next meeting on Monday, April 4, at 6 pm in the Game Room. In return, you will get the gift of personal growth, wonderful friends, and a more fun and enjoyable life. Come and check us out.

Details of the ceremony will be in the June issue of the Breeze. During April, the flags will recap Easter at the front and the homeland. No matter the conditions, services were held and prayers were recited. By 1945, war in the European theater was over but many "newbies" were fearful of being sent to the Pacific theater where high casualty counts were anticipated. Later in the month, the flags tell of the simple pleasures growing up in rural southern California. Kites and balloons soared into warming skies and young boys dreamed of flying into clouds. ~ Len Tavernetti, ltavernetti@hotmail.com
