22 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | June 2016 | Thoughts of the Month: June has arrived and we are already through half of 2016! Time passes ever so quickly, I know each of you savors every moment you are given, holding tight to all of the memories you hold dear, old and new. So let's all keep in mind the importance of looking out for one another, for remaining "humble" and "kind", as we travel though these most important chapters of our lives. June is a ray of sunshine and renewed spirit for all of us. Enjoy! Thanks for the Memories: Behind every great man is an even greater woman! Charlotte Townend is one of those great women behind her man. We extend a special thanks to Charlotte for sharing and cheering on Hal through his eight years of dedication and service to our Four Seasons community. Team Sunshine is so appreciative for Hal's endless support which he extended to our Team. We know that Hal will continue to be an invaluable member of our community and that he will never stop extending his leadership role in the community, in some capacity. A heartfelt thank you to you both. You have been invaluable to Team Sunshine. May Health Fair: This yearly event was a smashing success as always! Arbor Hospice (Jennifer Trebler) always plans a variety of medical personnel to participate in our community for a FREE Health Clinic and all do an exemplary job. Screening for blood pressure, blood sugar, eyes, ears, bone density and much more! To top it off, a BBQ was provided and we are pretty certain it was one of the most visited stations of the day! Thank you, Four Seasons, for your support of this yearly program. We hope you find this an instrumental tool in your health care plan. We enjoy providing this health information to our community and plan to get bigger and better each year! Four Seasons Players: Team Sunshine, and the Four Seasons Players, have teamed together for the June 4 production. Thank you Players, your generosity is clearly abundant and we so appreciate all the monies from the sale of tickets being donated to Team Sunshine. Our combined team efforts will ensure this to be a very special theatre experience. The presentation will include three "radio" shows: Baby Snooks, My Favorite Husband, Dragnet… and a special presentation written by Don Ortega. If you have not already purchased your tickets, be sure to do so! Thank you, Players, for your generous spirit. Celebrations of Life: "We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." ~ Leo Buscaglia We offer our deepest condolences to the families of Tony Morris, Heinz Ettner (wife Edith) and Clara Lentz (daughter Diane Ariano). There may be other families who have suffered loss that we are not aware of. We send our sincere condolences. Team Sunshine Services: We are continuously saying "goodbye" to some neighbors and "hello" to others. Realizing this equates to the need to continuously inform new residents about Team Sunshine and the services we provide. Celebrations of Life seem to be at the top of the list when neighbors refer to Team Sunshine. Yet, that is just one segment of the many services that we offer. Below we have listed some of the services we offer the community. Celebrations of Life: Four teams are in place and take turns offering a variety of services from in-home celebrations to larger gatherings hosted in the lodge. Medical Equipment Availability: An inventory of crutches, canes, wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, etc. are available. Call the Lodge Front Desk for contact information. Kindness Cards: Get yours at the Front Desk. LaDean Hatcher heads up the Kindness Awards. Kindness cards are available at the Lodge Front Desk. Pick one up and nominate a friend or neighbor for their special act of kindness. Caring Connections Information: A compilation of services of Team Sunshine. Your copy can be obtained also at the Lodge Front Desk. Card and Phone Service: A team of Sunshine gals send out miscellaneous cards to homeowners who are recovering from illness, surgery, etc. There is a follow-up team who makes calls to these folks. If you know of someone who has had surgery, recovering from an illness, etc., please contact Trish Egan (909) 844-3852. This information is also passed to the "calling team." They will initiate a call as follow-up. Special Monthly Programs: We have a fabulous Program Team headed by Rose Mary Garrison. Our programs are held monthly on the third Wednesday of the month at 3 pm. They last only one hour - time well spent, we assure you. Newcomer Team: This team knocks on doors of new folks in the community and hands out Four Seasons community information. This also includes Board of Director information, clubs, etc. Thanks to Rose Harvey, Linda Adkins and Candace Hawley we try to cover all bases. Our bulletin board in the Multipurpose Room has current contact and resource information. Closing Thoughts: "Life is not always perfect, but it is always what you make it. So make it count, make it memorable, and never let anyone steal your happiness." "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." ~ Charles M. Schulz Team Sunshine
