A special dedication and thank you to all our veterans who have sacrificed so much for us to celebrate this season with our loved ones, we shall never forget you.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
by
Joan E. Lunney
Twas the night before Christmas.
when all through the park
not a creature was stirring, not even a lark.
The turkeys were strutting down Jesse Brook Road
following the leader to the mother load.
The Board was all snuggled in their beds,
with visions of tasks looming in their heads...
The trees and the roads,
septics and light poles...
With a new year approaching
what will take place?
A replacement for Sue
is that really true?
The pool and the fence
the windows and such...
All in the past year,
they did so much...
The fill in the roads
speed bumps added and taken...
Is that Frank I see out raking?
Frank and John putting up stakes
for the snow plows to see,
George moving the leaves,
Paul Bunyan cutting down trees,
while Jack is nearby watching with ease.
Linda and Shirley contacting the folks
who plow our streets and keep our place neat.
Barbara is busy with spreadsheets in hand
while thinking of music to put in her band.
Donna is busy with the rules and the regs
while keeping an eye on Tiny
so he don’t buy a keg.
Guido is sore from building a deck...
what else did he do?
Well here’s a clue...
He recruited his wife to beautify
the grounds, but that’s not all...
He built a new fence around the pool,
and takes care of all the miscellaneous stuff
and never goes out in a huff.
So as St. Nicholas leaves Plimouth Commons tonight
you can hear him say
“Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night!”

From the Desk of the President
We have a serious speeding problem in our community. It is a state law that the speed limit in a manufactured home park is 15 miles per hour. On a daily basis, I receive calls and concerns from our community members about people driving way over the established speed limit. If you see someone speeding, say something to them. I realize that we all have guests and they may be the violators but say something to them. Let me know if vendors violate our rules, I will contact the company. I think all of us want a safe community, so please, please SLOW DOWN!!! As we go into colder weather, there are a couple of concerns I would like to address. I know many of you love and feed birds. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing a bright, red cardinal in the snow. These are lovely creatures, they aren’t the problem. The feeding stations entice other less welcome visitors like squirrels, mice and other vermin that will, after finding food, look for a warm, cozy place to snuggle up for the winter. Most often this will be your shed or under your home. Cute as they may be, they carry diseases and can be very destructive. Please be aware and take appropriate action to keep your home and your neighbor’s homes safe from these wee beasties and other members of this food chain. The generator at the Community Center has been readied for the winter season. If we lose power, it automatically turns on and provides electricity and the ability to have emergency shelter and warmth against the cold temperatures. Hopefully, we will not need to use it this season, but it is there and available. Many thanks to all our friends, neighbors and community for making Al DeFelice’s 100th birthday a wonderful and memorable event. The pictures are posted on our website. I know a few people saw the parade on PAC-TV. Matt Muratore, our state representative narrated it and had some very positive comments about our community and Al. A special thanks to Jack Lynch for arranging with Olly DeMacedo to have Al participate in the Plymouth Thanksgiving Day Parade and to Fran and Susan Adragna for organizing his birthday celebration. As we approach the holidays, I wish each of you a beautiful, peaceful and joyous season. We have such a wonderful neighborhood and caring community, we are all truly blessed to be here. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a very Happy and prosperous New Year. A fond farewell and best wishes to Ken and Louisa Roberts as they leave our community for the warmth of Florida. Please extend a very warm welcome to our new neighbors, Ralph and Elaine Baker. |

Laurie’s News
SOCIAL CLUB NEWS The last month of the year is upon us. This year really has flown by. We had a lot of great times. This month is our Christmas Party and Yankee swap, bingo and a New Years Eve party. I hope everybody comes because some of us will be going south for the winter. The Auction made $608 for Home Base. The social club is putting in another $397 to make it an even $1000. I am sorry that we didn’t salute the flag or honor our veterans. I will be handing the Social Club over to Wendy Wright and her new crew at the end of the year. It has been a great 5 years but a lot of work. My health is stopping me from doing things I was doing. I truly hope that the last 5 years have been fun for all of you. I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Love you all, Susan |
