bucket. We will be providing German beer, as we have in past years.
So, bring a dish to share (be creative), plates and silver-ware and drink (if you don’t want coffee or beer). See you at 6:00 PM on September 28th.
November Music Festival by Larry & Bonnie Costa
On Sunday November 4th, we will present the second annual Greentrees Music Festival, form 2 to 4:30 PM in the Recreation Hall. It will be set up in cabaret style: that is, with small tables like a night club.
The admission is free, the music is free and so are the refreshments! We will have four different musical per-formers for your listening pleasure. Don’t you dare miss it! We had a great crowd last year, and hope for an even larger one this year. Call Larry or Bonnie Costa for more information: 541-808-8710 or 541-404-6343.
Craft Faire Tables Available
There will be an arts and craft faire on October 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM. in the Greentrees recreation hall. Both residents and outside vendors are invited to partici-pate. Tables are available for rent in the Greentrees of-fice. The faire will feature homemade crafts for sale- just in time for holiday shopping. The event is open to the public. Advertising will run in local media, and the east side gate will be open. The eight-foot tables rent for $10 to Greentrees residents and $20 to outside vendors. For more information, you can call Colleen at 360-770-6584, or contact the Greentrees office at 541-997-8674.
Call For Nominations The Association is seeking nominations for Directors and Alternates for the Greentrees Village Board of Directors 2019-2020 term. The districts up for election this year are #2, #4, #6 and #8. Two alternates will also be elected at-large.

Proposed Changes to GTV Bylaws You should have already received in the mail the infor-mation packet and ballot for the election to revise the Association’s bylaws. If you haven’t already done so, please mail or hand deliver your ballot to the Green-trees office by September 15th.
September Yard Sale by George Weiss The Activity Committee has scheduled a community-wide yard sale for September 7th and 8th. Gates will be opened on both sides of Rhododendron from 8 AM until 3 PM, rain or shine. When you close up af-ter your sale, if you have things left over that you want to get rid of, consider donating them to Greentrees for our annual Flea Market sale. It is a way of helping your community. Contact the office or call Toni; 541-999-5102 or George; 541-590-3712. We will be happy to arrange pick up and storage of the items.
Oktoberfest at Greentrees by Peg Patton
We will once again be celebrating Oktoberfest at Greentrees Village. This will be the 6th year for the fall party, so dust off your leiderhosen and dancing shoes.
The celebration will again be in conjunction with the regularly scheduled potluck on September 28th. We have always had lots of German potato salads and dif-ferent brats, so dig down in that recipe file and come enjoy food and music. Doug Haydter will once again play the accordion for us. He does this for free, so please tuck some money in your pocket to fill his tip
2018 Annual Meeting The annual meeting of Greentrees owners was held on Saturday August 4th. There were approximately 225 owners in attendance. Following reports from the Treasurer, Manager and Greentrees committees and clubs, there was a hearing of the members. The main topic people wanted to speak about was speed bumps - both for and against.
Following the meeting, the Association hosted a lunch-eon for the members in attendance. Homeowners Tom Benson, Fred Miller and Anderson Miller were the peo-ple primarily responsible for planning, cooking and serving the hot lunch, although many other hands as-sisted. By all accounts, it was a lovely lunch and a fes-tive occasion.
The Computer Club by Steve Lyon
How often do you think about security when you use your computer/tablet/smartphone? We had a well-attended meeting August 1st where Steve Lyon went over some of the many traps we can fall into. For ex-ample, don’t share on Facebook or other shared info sites that you are on vacation on certain dates, it tells thieves you might not be home. Or don’t use the same password across multiple sites/apps. Lots of questions and answers were discussed.
Our meeting schedule for the coming months is:
September 5th: Steve Lyon – Can you cut or stop using cable for TV?
September 12th: Gene/Rich sharing their Apple knowl-edge and other wisdom
September 19th: Jep’s monthly review of Windows’ sys-tems and security.
September 26th: TBD
All meetings run from 11:10 to 12:10 and take place in the Multi-Purpose Room. We still need a club Treas-urer. See Steve Lyon if you are interested.

In the Recreation Hall
Volunteer Needed For Pill Bottle Recycling Greentrees is looking for someone to take over the recy-cling of pill bottles. David and Kerstin Johnson have been handling the recycling for many years, but are no longer able. Our residents bring in hundreds of pill bot-tles every month. They must be sorted, and the ones that are recyclable are taken to Eugene and dropped off. If you think you could help out with this important pro-ject, please contact the GTV office at 541-997-8674.
Family Pool Closes The Greentrees Family pool will be open for Labor Day on September 3rd, but will close for the season the fol-lowing day. The Family pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year. Children under 18 years of age are permitted in the Family pool but are not allowed in the Adult pool, which is open year-round.
