20 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | JANUARY 2018 | Happy New Year! As Team Sunshine eases into the new year, we want the community to know that we are here to continue to serve. Over the past months, we have focused on "getting to know us" information. You can help with the task of connecting in the community: Please contact Trish Moorhouse if you know of someone who is ill, had surgery, or just needs a welcome voice on the phone or a "thinking of you" card. It's easy – Trish can be reached at (909) 844- 3852. She will contact her team members to send the appropriate card. This information is also passed to a "calling team." They will initiate a call as follow-up. Thanks for helping us connect. Please contact LaDean Hatcher who chairs our Kindness Recognition effort. LaDean can be contacted at 677-7166 or email her at laddeepoo3@yahoo.com. It's easy to nominate someone for a Kindness Award. Simply stop by the Lodge front desk and ask for a Kindness nomination card. Complete the card and return it to the attendant. A member of Team Sunshine will retrieve the card and follow up with you to complete the award process. Please fill out a Needs Form at the Lodge Front Desk if you know of someone who has recently lost a loved one. This form can also be used for various kinds of needs assistance. In case you prefer not to call but would like us to know of a need, this form will record your concern and will be passed on to the appropriate Team Sunshiner. Celebrations of Life: We have no Celebrations of Life to report this month but we were notified of the passing of Robert Boekholt. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to this family. It is particularly, at this time of the year, when we reflect on all the loss in our community. We are saddened always by the passing in the Four Seasons community. Programs: The first program of the year is our 90+ Birthday Party. This program is received with much anticipation by those who have been blessed with such longevity. Trish Moorhouse chairs this event. If you know of someone who has reached that milestone, please contact Trish with that name. The date for this birthday celebration is Wed., Jan. 17 at 3 pm in the Ballroom. Christmas Music Program: The Vintage Voices Christmas Program "A Four Seasons Christmas" is always a hit and that is really an understatement. They provide us with a great musical start to the season and we would be remiss if we did not say a big thank you to Ross Brunetto and his Vintage Voices group. Team Sunshine hosted this affair and are always proud to do so. Decorating the Lodge: Sunshiners gathered on Nov. 28 to join the Social Committee and others in helping to decorate the Lodge. Anyone who has stepped into the Lodge during this season marvels at the festive atmosphere. You can tell by the happy faces of our team members that it was a fun and social event. If you have never joined the group who makes all the magic happen, we hope you will be part of this effort in 2018. Other Team Sunshine Information: A good source of Team Sunshine information is the Caring Connection Card which can be obtained at the Lodge front desk. Please stop by and pick up your copy.
