November 2011 Highlands Community Business Meeting Minutes

The meeting opened on Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. with Jim Bayes serving as moderator. The Pledge of Allegiance was followed by a prayer.

Betty Bongiardina announced the following Social Committee events: November 24th – Thanksgiving Dinner. December 18th – Christmas Dinner and Dance, 6:00 p.m. Limited to 200 people. Price was originally set at

$18, however, because HTA is helping to defray the cost, tickets are $15 in advance. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.

Anne Lafontaine gave the Treasurer’s Report. Anne said she has a $1,000 check to be deposited from Hometown America to help defray the cost of the Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner and dance. She mentioned that the Show Palace Dinner Theatre requires a deposit to reserve seats for the show “Jackpot”. She has written a deposit check for $1,333, which she is holding until she speaks to Joe Salvaty to be sure that the community treasury receives the deposit back if the event is canceled because not enough residents are attending.

Barb Geiling reported for the Sunshine Committee: Eight Get-Well baskets and one Memorial basket were delivered in October. One person is in the hospital. The Sunshine Committee made $520 from the bake sale. Barb mentioned that the Sunshine Committee was

out of funds before the bake sale and people had to wait to get reimbursed.

COMMUNITY TREASURER AND SECRETARY ELECTIONS

Business Meeting on January 7, 2012. A sign-up sheet for candidates for two-year terms for both positions

the clubhouse and sign-up as a candidate. Ballot Committee

Results of the “Make a Child Smile” Charity Drive

I would like to thank all of the residents that donated to the “Make A Child Smile” ice cream social. I would also like to recognize the volunteers who went door to door, those who helped serve the ice cream, those who manned the door, those who conducted the 50/50 raffle and those who helped clean up. Thanks also go to John and Ada Marr for donating the tickets. A very special thanks is extended to Larry and Judy Mack, who, through Hometown America, donated all the ice cream and supplies.

Our door-to-door collections totaled $979. The 50/50 raffle and door donations totaled $141 for a grand total of $1120 and after Saturday’s meeting another $87 was collected for a total of $1207. Over 134 families participated in this event.

With the money, twenty-four $50 gift cards were bought to be distributed. This will make many children smile at Christmas. The small balance remaining was donated to the Publix sponsored holiday food bank.

Thank you, Roy Raker, Chairman

Please see the Clubhouse Bulletin Board for event details and sign up sheets for the Social Committee sponsored events.

decorating, serving, and breakdown of setups.

We are currently in need of volunteers to help with the sale of tickets on Bingo nights, before Community meetings, and immediately before events. If you are willing to help, please contact Ken White. Thanks.

Fort Myers Trip The Fort Myers bus trip in early November was an excellent day out.

The first stop was The Shell Factory: the largest gift shop in Florida, with shells from all over the world; and a strange taxidermy collection. It was an interesting lunch stop.

At the Ford and Edison Estates the homes, gardens, and grounds - especially the banyan tree - were amazing. The museums were informative and good.

Troyers Dutch Heritage in Sarasota was an excellent restaurant with its own bakery and an upscale gift shop. The general sentiment was that we all want to go back to Sarasota just to eat at Troyers again.

help with the delivery of this year’s Christmas cards.

Concert Opportunities - 1/12 and 1/21/2012

The Social Committee is sponsoring two concert trips in January. Both concerts are being staged at the Wesley Chapel Center for Performing Arts. If you buy tickets on your own they will be open seating on a “first come, first served” basis. If you attend as part of the group from the Highlands, you will enjoy reserved seating in some of the best seats in the house and not have to worry about where to park your car.

January 12th, 2012 (Thursday evening) the Presidential Brass Ensemble will be playing. There is no charge for the tickets but the charge for the bus is $15.00 per person.

January 21, 2012 (Saturday) at 7:30 P.M. a Rock and Roll Oldies Show will be presented by Phil Dirt & the Dozers. These guys have great reviews from some of your neighbors. They say that it’s just like going to concerts when we were younger. (You can judge for yourself by listening to any one of a number of their clips on YouTube.com.) The bus + ticket price is $30.00 per person.

Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board, and tickets are going fast. Contact Diane and Ned Sponsler, or Dee Bruni to reserve and pay for your seats. When each bus is full for that concert, sales will close. So, sign up sooner rather than later to ensure your seats!

The Social Committee has reserved some of the best seats in the house at a discount rate for Highlands Residents who would like to see this show together. The $43 price is available as long as 20 or more go. Those attending will have to arrange their own transportation to the theatre which is located at

16128 U.S. Highway 19 North, Hudson, FL 34667. A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board. Those who sign up and pay the earliest will be given the reserved seats. If more sign up, additional seats will be secured to the degree we are able as we learn the final number participating. Checks should be made payable to

Minutes from the Monthly Community Meeting continued from page 1 Ken Nicholson announced that pursuant to The Highlands Community Procedural Guidelines, voting for Community Treasurer and Secretary will take place prior to the Community Business Meeting on January 7, 2012. A sign-up sheet for candidates for two-year terms of both positions is posted on the clubhouse bulletin board. The deadline to sign-up is December 31st. Residents interested in serving our community in either position are encouraged to visit the clubhouse and sign-up as a candidate.

Ken also announced that since the Social Committee is not sponsoring a New Year’s Eve party there will be a private party and all residents are invited. The party will be held in the community clubhouse on Saturday, December 31, 2011 from 9:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. Honey baked ham & turkey, coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, dessert, pretzels, potato chips, soft drinks and champagne at midnight will be served. Bring your own bottle. 40’s, 50’s and 60’s music will be played. Cost is $10 per person. Please sign the sheet on the bulletin board if you are interested in attending. Deadline to sign-up is December 10th. Although not planned, if any profit is made, it will be given to the community treasurer to help defray the cost of a future community event. Contact Jim Bayes, Tony Davio, Ron Haas, or Ken Nicholson for ticket information.

Betty Bongiardina asked if there would be a DJ at the New Year’s Eve party. Ken said, “no”, and that he has a playlist of 40’s, 50’s & 60’s music on his iPod and the music will be playing all night. Jayne Haas requested that people dress up and not wear shorts to the party.

QUILTING CLASSES MONDAY QUILTERS' RAFFLE QUILT

We want to thank the beautiful "five feathered birds", winners of the costume contest at the Halloween Party, for their first place prize money donation to the Quilt Raffle.

The quilters are now ready to take our "wish lists" for the two families and do our Christmas shopping. This year we asked St. Rita's Catholic Church, in Dade City, for two families of the parish who could use help with their Christmas "wish lists". The quilters look forward to shopping for the families each year; it is always a busy but fun day for all of us. When the shopping has been finished, we bring the presents back, wrap them, label them and then shortly before Christmas we will deliver them to St. Rita's Church.

St. Rita's will deliver the presents to each of the families. Lorraine Davenport, Instructor

YARD OF THE MONTH

Marc and Nancy Poupard are the recipients of this month's " Yard of the Month" award given by the Highlands of Scotland Yards. On November 28th the Hometown America award sign was posted on Marc and Nancy's yard at 38401 Callaway Blvd. As recipients of the award Marc and Nancy received a $25.00 gift card.

Riley the Therapy Dog One of our own is officially a Therapy Dog! Riley, the golden retriever that wears goggles and is owned by Rose Marie Stevenson and Roger Tabutt, passed his test and attended graduation November 15th. A Dade City News reporter was there to take pictures and an article about Riley’s graduation class appeared in the November 24th issue of the Dade City News. (The article is posted on our bulletin board.)

Riley and Rose Marie attended classes run by Tranquil Pawz Therapy Dogs in Dade City that concluded with a test for both the dog and handler. It was a six-week course where the dog and the handler are observed in the commands and visited a variety of facilities (nursing homes, library, hospitals, schools) where interaction with dogs benefits people.

In order to be considered for training as a Therapy Dog, Riley first had to acquire an AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. He and Rose took that class while in Ohio in September. Also, all dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and have a negative fecal result.

Now that training is complete, Rose Marie has applied to Therapy Dogs Incorporated based out of Cheyenne, Wyoming for membership. Once they are accepted their volunteer visits will commence.

Congratulations Riley, Rose Marie and Roger!! What a fine dog!

It Is Crazy, Chaotic, Tiring, Busy And Loud: It Is The Holiday Season! Why Do We Do This?

Even though the night before, I swore I would not be caught shopping on Black Friday, I find myself in my daughter Cherise’s SUV at Wiregrass Mall. People are driving up and down the parking aisles.

Cherise rolls down her window. “Excuse me, where are you parked?”

“I’m at the other side of the mall,” a young girl clad in shorts replies.

“Mom, did you have to do that?” Mikaela, Cherise’s teen daughter asks, as she slumps down in the back seat.

“It’s not rude, Mikaela. Besides, no one here knows us, so what is the difference?”

Within minutes, we succumb to the Valet Parking.

We are to meet my other daughters, Julie and Jamie at Barnes and Noble. While the others sip on their Latte’s from Starbucks, I sneak away to pay for a Starbuck’s Christmas Drink Holder and a gift certificate, as a late birthday present for Cherise. She sees me standing in line, as she is ascending on the escalator. I get out of the long line to run and tell her where I am and that she is not answering her cell. Then I go back to the end of the line and wait.

It is crazy; it is chaotic; it is crowded and loud, but amazingly, even though I am very tired from Thanksgiving cooking, I am in a great mood. It’s all good. I am with my children and grandchildren.

As we sit on the patio of an Italian restaurant, I tell my daughters (3) and teen granddaughters (2) why I am in a good frame of mind. I tell them that I decided to have fun this year and not be like a combination of “Mr. Clean” and a left-over Halloween witch. They all agree with me that this should be a fun time.

I look around at each smiling face and think maybe I could write a book about grandmothers, daughters and granddaughters and tell all my readers how wonderful it is. I am old but today it is ok to be old. I am enjoying myself as I watch my daughters in their mothering mode and my granddaughters clutching packages that have been bought with love and probably some sacrifice. Julie, my oldest daughter, tells the waiter to put my lunch on her tab. I thank her.

We decide to hit Macy’s before going home. We are there for a long time, as the sales are good. I tell Jamie she should buy herself something new for her new job and that she deserves it. She does and so do I.

I decide to sit outside while the others are exploring a couple of teen shops. I think about the day before and how wild it got the last few minutes before Thanksgiving Dinner was served. Everyone was standing around the island, keeping me company, while I furiously pulled everything out of the oven. Jim was carving the turkey. Just as I was retrieving the last casserole (sweet potatoes), it slipped from my hand and suddenly my floor was decorated with sweet potatoes. The dogs at once came to feast, while Jamie scooped everything up and reminded me that we had a spare sweet potato casserole.

On the way home, I telephone Jim and ask him to put the spare huge squash casserole in the oven, along with the other Thanksgiving goodies. We delight in another meal together, even though we are so tired. We listen to Zach, Scott and Jim talk about what a great time they had playing golf.

The next day, I am so tired, I can hardly get out of bed, but when I hear Cherise’s voice and know she is still here, I perk up. I can make it for another day.

At mid-morning, my daughter gathers up her children and new puppy, Kiera and heads back to West Palm Beach. I survey more dirty dishes and at least 8 loads of laundry to do. I am suddenly exhausted, so I go in our bedroom for a nap. I see that Kiera has christened the carpet and also left a “gift” in the closet. Why do I put myself through this every year? It is crazy, chaotic, tiring, and we eat too much.

Highlands Choral

Calling all singers! The Highlands Choral group is practicing on Wednesday mornings in the clubhouse library at 10:30 AM. We are currently singing Christmas Carols to prepare for carolling through the neighbourhood Christmas week. Anyone who would like to join us on our carolling stroll should get in touch with the Neils.

After the holidays we will start working on numbers that we plan to perform in mid-March of 2012. Barb Hall and Ruth True are our conductors and Chris Weegar is our accompanist.

The songs selected are fun and should create an interesting concert.

If you didn’t sign up but have since decided you are interested in joining, please come Wednesday morning and join the music.

For those who play a musical instrument, we’d like to use them in our concert.

All residents are welcome. No try outs are required. Sandra & David Neil

This fall Everyday Blessings in Thonotassassa received a charitable donation of $77 from the National MahJongg

League . The donation came from the $1.25 credit per card the League awarded Highlands Mah Jongg players because we

ordered our 2011 cards as a group.

This year the National MahJongg League will make a charitable contribution of $1.50 per card for submitting a group order in January online, which I will be happy to coordinate.

THANKS TO THE MAH JONGG PLAYERS IN THE HIGHLANDS

A manifest has been sent to me with all your names and membership numbers from last year’s Highlands order. The renewal order price is the same as last year: $7.00 for a standard print size card, $8.00 for a large print card.

I am accepting payments now through January 15th. We do not need to wait for your annual mailing with its sticky identification label. I can also include first time orders from new players and/or any players who did not participate in our single order last year. If you wish to be included in our group order, please put your remittance in an envelope with your name and amount enclosed on it and drop it off at my house anytime.

Thanks so much for your participation to help our Everyday Blessings Charity.

“May you always pick the right tile.” Nancy Meech

(My View continued from previous page) Then, in the quiet of a pre-nap stupor, I know why I did it and I would do it again and again….

It comes every year and will go on forever. And along with Christmas belong the keepsakes and the customs. Those humble, everyday things a mother clings to, and ponders, like Mary in the secret spaces of her heart."

Marjorie Holmes, American writer

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones, my Highland Friends!

TWEETS and CHIRPS from the Highlands Birding Group Our first birding trip for the 2011 - 2012 season took us back to one of the group’s favorite locations - Lettuce Lake Park outside the city limits of Tampa. It is a very easy drive from the “Highlands”.

Once you leave Fletcher Avenue you seem to be a world away from busy Tampa and in such a quiet and serene place. The park area is 240 acres and opened in 1982.

Lettuce Lake features exhibits in the Visitor’s Center and 3500 feet of boardwalks. A portion of the board-walk was closed this time as a section of it is being rebuilt. The group noticed how much water was in the park and we had never witnessed this before.

Taking you up 40 feet is The Observation Tower (three levels) at Lettuce Lake Park. It is a great feature and the view from the top is incredible. You can view the Hillsborough River, a fresh water wetland, a flood plain and a hardwood forest dominated by oaks. There are cypress domes and nature trails. Winding through a vari-ety of Florida ecosystems are several boardwalks.

Bird watching here is always rewarding as we observed a Black-crowned Night Heron (Featured Bird), Female Cardinal, Belted Kingfisher, Great Egret and Red-shouldered Hawk. A complete list is posted in our Community Center and was compiled by Joan Rodier.

As a side note, October is when the Whooping Cranes and their leader, an ultra-light plane, make their journey from White River Marsh, Green Lake County in Wisconsin to Florida. The group divides and some of the cranes go to St. Mark’s Wildlife Refuge on the east coast of Florida and the others winter in Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge (close to us) in Crystal River. The cranes began their flight south on October 9th with some problems with weather. There are 10 cranes with the ‘Class of 2011’. You may follow their trek and daily up-dates at http://www.bringbackthecranes.org or http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/crane/11wcep_highlights.html. This will be the eleventh year that ‘Operation Migration‘ has been leading the cranes by ultra-light plane.

(Featured Bird) Black-crowned Night Heron This heron hunts at night and is a close relative of the Yellow-crowned night heron, however, it has shorter yel-low legs and roosts in trees. In nesting colonies its voice is a loud barking often heard at night. It is a resident of wooded streams, marshes and swamps.

A nocturnal heron, it can stand for long lengths of time waiting for a fish or frog to pass by. It has been known to take chicks from the nests of terns and gulls and stalks grasslands for voles.

The Black-crowned heron winters in the south, building their nests saucer-like of reeds and sticks. Their eggs are pale blue-green and number around 3 to 5 in a clutch. It is not un-usual to find them nesting in the area of other herons keeping to themselves in a separate corner. Fortunately they are not endangered. Written By: Valorie Catalano Photo By: Valorie

Minutes from the Monthly Community Meeting continued from page 8

Roy Raker updated the residents on the Ice Cream Social to “Make a Child Smile at Christmas”. He issued a thanks to all of the residents that donated. Roy also thanked the volunteers who went door to door, helped serve the ice cream, manned the door, conducted the 50/50 raffle, and helped clean up. He added a special thanks to John and Ada Marr for donating the tickets and a very special thanks to Larry and Judy Mack, who, through Hometown America, donated all the ice cream and supplies. The door to door collections totaled $979.00. The 50/50 raffle and door donations totaled $141 for a grand total of $1,120. More than 134 families participated in the event, which will make some children smile at Christmas. (Roy e-mailed the community secretary after the business meeting that another $87 was collected, bringing the grand total to $1,207.)

Dee Bruni thanked the Social Committee for their help with the bus trip to Ft. Meyers. She said the trip was very successful. The next bus trip will be to St. Augustine to see the Christmas lights. Payment is due by December 1st.

Debbie Riss said that she and Marc are taking ballroom dance lessons at the Tourist Club in Zephyrhills. Basic lessons cost $2.00 per person. She said the best thing about it is: 1) exercise and 2) the Village Inn is directly across the street and on Wednesday nights they have free pie. Contact Debbie if interested.

Betty Thibault made a motion for the community treasurer to allocate up to $150 to purchase exercise DVDs for the walking exercise classes. The motion was seconded by Jayne Hass and approved by a show of hands by the residents in attendance.

Anne Lafontaine made a motion that should the Sunshine Committee find itself in a deficit situation prior to receiving proceeds from its Annual Bake Sale, that it be able to receive an advance from the community treasurer to cover expenses. This advance will then be repaid to the community treasurer when the committee receives the proceeds from its bake sale. The motion was seconded by Sharon Newcomb and approved by a show of hands by the residents in attendance.

David Neil announced that the first Choral practice was held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 2nd. They are practicing Christmas carols now. Practices are held on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. All residents are welcome.

Jayne Haas reminded the residents about people speeding on Callaway Blvd. She asked everyone to please keep an eye on their speedometer. Jayne estimated that some cars are traveling at speeds up to 40 mph.

Barb Geiling made a motion to round-up the donation for the “Make a Child Smile at Christmas” event to $2,000 from the community treasury. Anne Lafontaine replied that December is an expensive month for spending from the community treasury. Ken Nicholson stated that, in his opinion, this would set a bad precedent as it would allow anyone to request a vote for funds from the community treasury for any charity and how do we favor one over another. Marie Garfinkel stated that the “Make a Child Smile at Christmas” was collected as a donation and funds should not be taken from the community treasury. Terry Pawlicki then seconded the motion. The motion did not carry by the residents in attendance.

The next community meeting will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:33 a.m. Barbara Nicholson, Community Secretary

The co-ed group meets on a Sunday toward the end of each month at 6:30PM. The cost of each session is $3.00, which is distributed as prize money.

Players meet on Sundays at 1:00 PM, Monday afternoons at 12:30 PM, Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, Thursdays at 1:00 PM, and Fridays at 2:00 PM.

Each month marathon tournament players bring some salad ingredient that is then shared between all for great pot-luck salad. A sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board so we don’t end up with too much of one item. November’s marathon winners were - 1st place - Geanne Raker, - 2nd place - Vicki Rudegeair, - 3rd place - Ann LaFontaine.

Ceramics Classes

Ceramics classes are held every Tuesday from 11:30 to 1:30PM. There is a $5 charge per session: $4 for the instructor, $1 to the kitty to keep supplies stocked. A large selection of glazes and acrylics is available in our craft room for student use and our own kiln is used to fire all pieces. A small selection of bisque pieces is available from which to choose, but for greater choice students are encouraged to obtain their own greenware or bisque pieces from local suppliers. Regular participants are to bring their own brushes and cleaning supplies, however first timers can borrow supplies to see if they like it enough to continue before they purchase their own supplies.
