THERE WAS NO EXCUSE to sit around this fall as the Valencia Lakes Clubhouse was fi lled with live entertainment,

lifelong learning classes, and parties. In October, the Booster Club held another amazing and successful Music and

Arts Festival. With beautiful weather at hand, the daytime event brought in over 30 artists from around the area

with the evening event seating over 350 residents at the Sounds of Soul concert. Also in October was the annual

signature event, the Monster Mash Bash Halloween Party. Th e residents enjoyed the horrifi cally amusing costumes

along with dancing to DJ Rob from Party 101. November’s schedule was fi lled with over 10 classes including the

philosophy lecture series and the astronomy series. Th e Big Show series also kicked off its season opener with Th e

Marlins at a record crowd of 248. We look forward to continuing this magnifi cent show season on January 11th

when Darren Williams comes to Valencia Lakes. December did not slow down a bit as we were all busy hosting the

Holiday Cocktail Party, Th e Holiday Bingo and the New Year’s Eve Celebration. Th e Valencia Singer’s once again

gave a tremendous performance at the cocktail party held on November 30th. On December 1st, Doug Vanderjagt

took home a fabulous grand prize at this year’s Holiday Bingo. Lastly, (literally), the New Year’s Eve party

was fabulous. Th e committee comprised of several residents who did a phenomenal job. We would like

to thank everyone in attendance at all of our events, and all of the hard working and dedicated residents.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT

VL WOMEN’S CLUB “WALK FOR THE CURE”Th is year’s Walk for the Cure was a great success! Th e Valenica Lakes Women’s Club

goal of raising $10,000.00 for Moffi tt Cancer Research was met thanks to the Valencia

Lakes community, sponsors and donations received. About 80 people showed up to walk

on November 3. It was a beautiful cool morning for a walk from the clubhouse up to

Aurora Lakes Drive and back. After the walk, a reception was held for all the walkers.

Walkers ate homemade muffi ns and drank coff ee and took some time to catch up with

neighbors and friends. In addition to the walk this year, a dance was held Friday night,

November 2 to also raise funds for cancer research. Th e dance also was

a big success. Residents and guests brought their own drinks and snacks

to share. DJ entertainment was provided by South Tampa DJ. Wine was

raffl ed off as well as other prizes and a 50/50 raffl e. Again, thanks to all

who donated their time to make this such a successful event. And thanks

to all those that gave donations for cancer research! Th is donation will

make a diff erence!

LIFELONG LEARNING CENTERBy David Unterlack/Committee Chairperson

Valencia Lakes Lifelong Learning Center sponsored a wonderful presentation by the Osher

Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) on Wednesday, November 28th at 2pm. OLLI is a nationally

recognized senior learning program associated with 117 colleges in all 50 states.

Dr. Ara Rogers, Director, facilitated the presentation. Joseph McAuliff e, adjunct faculty, kept us

spellbound with his class on “An American Story — Ulysses S. Grant”. Sixty-fi ve residents attended

this program and feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Refreshments provided by the Lifestyle

Offi ce and the wonderful baked goods prepared by our Committee members were enjoyed by all. We

hope this will be the beginning of a strong and long lasting relationship with OLLI.

Watch for VL Lifelong Learning Center’s new semester of classes beginning in January.

TRAVEL CLUB — ORLANDO HOTELS DECORATED FOR THE HOLIDAYS Sixty members of the Travel Club went on a day trip to Orlando on November

Northwest National Park lodges from the turn of the 20th century. Our second

stop was Th e Grand Floridian, the crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort,

a Victorian-themed hotel on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Th is hotel

is very impressive, from the entrance through the lobby to the spectacular

Christmas tree several stories high. Our fi nal stop, Th e Gaylord Palms Resort,

was breathtakingly beautiful. Th e signature atriums with gardens under

glass were decorated for the holidays with poinsettias plants and many

Christmas trees. Th e Gaylord “Ice” Show featured ice sculptures in a very

low-temperature environment—wear a parka to stay warm! Overall, it was a

festive and enjoyable day in Orlando.

Valencia Lakes residents who contributed to the success of the program by caring and

sharing – THANK YOU!’ If you missed it, Nick promises more programs like this from

the club in the future. He added, ‘you may not support war or war-like activities – but

you sure as heck can support defenders of our freedom like Mr. Battles.
