| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | JUNE 2025 | 9 As the saying goes, "April showers bring May owers." At Four Seasons, May also brought lots of exciting activities and programs which, you hopefully had an opportunity to enjoy. And the fun is just getting started! As we swing into spring, the Social Committee presents the Queen tribute band, e Kings of Queen, in concert on Sun., June 1. e Kings of Queen is considered THE Queen tribute band, having performed at a variety of venues around the country. What makes e Kings of Queen truly unique is that they are purists in that they do not sing to tracks. All of the music and the vocals that you will hear are a 100% live performance. e band members who complete e Kings of Queen are guitarist/vocalist Gregg ompson, bassist/vocalist Mikey LP, pianist/vocalist Joe Case and drummer/vocalist Joe Turner. To recreate the magic of a Queen concert, Emo Alaeddin visually brings Freddie Mercury to life with his magnetic mannerisms, movements, costume changes, and looks. You won't want to miss out on this sure to be lively and entertaining evening. Tickets are on sale now at e Lodge for $25 each (payable by check or credit card) and are selling fast.

Don't forget to come to the library and pick out some books to take along on your journeys. ose long ights across the country go faster and are much more pleasant with a good book to read. Paperback books, especially, don't take up much room in your suitcase. If you're doing a driving trip, check the library's impressive collection of Audio Books on the le side of the room under the Hardcover Fiction. anks to Library Committee Member, Nathan Church, the boxes have been restored to good condition, and each should contain the proper number of disks for you to enjoy listening to these popular books. e library is receiving donations of materials all the time; be sure to look for them when you visit. In the past couple of months, several of our book collections in the bookcases behind the couch have grown signicantly. We are adding Biographies, Nonction, Large Print, and Classics frequently. e Religion section has expanded signicantly, thanks to large donations, allowing you to explore many major faiths and global sacred philosophies. If you're in a hurry or have limited time to browse, check out the New York Times #1 Best Seller books. You may notice that our Hardcover Fiction and Fiction Paperback sections on the le and right walls have really been lling up their respective shelving spaces. We're gradually donating duplicates and older books (2015/16 Hardcovers & 2020/21 Paperbacks) to the Hemet Public Library and other community locations. Calling all Four Seasons Resident Authors!
