Oh July! You have all the possibilities of being one of the best months this summer in spite of the Ballroom's continuing unpredictable construction. We will get on with our ambitious summer fun schedule including Fourth of July! Hooray! The Board of Directors approved our big community potluck, the annual in-house club competitions and awards ceremony with trophies honoring winners, as well as a fun vintage rock, folk and soul dance band! Bring your neighbors, your swimsuit, your dancing flip-flops and your American flag bandanas. The in-house club competitions will start at 8 am and go until 12 noon. Check the Lodge for the latest awards ceremony start times. Come down to the Lodge and sign up to bring an appetizer, side dish, salad or dessert. The Association will be providing the picnic chicken, paper-ware, cups, drinks and snacks. Our lunch potluck will start at 12:30 pm immediately following our awards ceremony for the club competitions. The band will be playing from 1 to 4 pm somewhere on the Lodge grounds. We're still not certain at the time of this writing whether the festivities will take place in the Ballroom or if we're going to be renting a tent to keep everyone cool, (most likely out on the large loggia expanse); either way, it's going to be a blast. The holiday hours for the Lodge will be 6 am to 7 pm and the Summit hours will be 7 am to 10 pm. If you want to get a good view of the fireworks from Banning, you might try going to the Summit. Last year, people brought their lawn chairs outside the Summit to go sit in the grass for the show and as an "added value package" on that hot day, the sprinklers went off to cool everyone off! I'm not sure if that will be one of the amenities to expect this year during the fireworks show, but I'd come prepared, just in case. Here's a mini-update on what's happening in the Ballroom for August events: right now I'm still on "flex-check" throughout the month. There are a few events that we're hoping we can move to the RCN like the special "Game night with Gail" on Friday, Aug. 11 at 6 pm should the Ballroom be out of commission. I'll let you know more in next month's Breeze. The State of the City event sponsored by the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce is also charted for the Ballroom on Thursday, Aug. 24 and, hopefully, that will be okay. Keep your fingers crossed! August is going to be awesome! 16 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2017 Activities Director Corner By Cindy Graves, Activities Director JULY 1 Heart & Soul Event 4 Independence Day Extravaganza 8 Karaoke 16 Amphitheater Concert 22 Summer Fun Dance AUGUST 12 Karaoke 20 Amphitheater SEPTEMBER 9 Karaoke 17 Amphitheater Grand Finale 22 PAC Radio Show OCTOBER 7 Craft Boutique 14 Garage Sale/Karaoke 18 Tennis Banquet 20-21 PAC Show 28 SC Fashion Show NOVEMBER 11 Veterans Day 12 Karaoke 17 Line Dance Party DECEMBER 1 & 2 Holiday Extravaganza 8 Ballroom Dance Christmas 9 AACC Christmas Dance 12 Holiday Magic Show 21 Wine Club Holiday Formal 31 SC New Years Eve 2017
