From the Desk of the President

It is finally spring!!! With spring comes all kinds of things both good and bad. On the good side there is warmer weather, the promise of summer coming and beach days, daffodils, tulips, flowers of all sorts, Palm Sunday, Easter, chocolate rabbits, Easter bonnets, Easter egg hunts, and the resurrection. On the bad side are spring yard clean-ups, painting, pressure washing, pollen, gypsy moths, fallen limbs, dead leaves, junk everywhere that was covered by snow and last but not least SPEED BUMPS!!!

We have speed bumps because we have people who do not believe in following the rules and posted speed limits. Since we apparently have become a para-military organization, the adage of what one person does affects the entire community is applied. We have several violators thus the entire community is punished because of their refusal to follow the rules. I would have liked to NOT have speed bumps, but since this isn’t in the springtime cards, they will be going up sometime during the month of April.

Effective the first of May, the Scallop shell will only be delivered to those shareholders who are unable to pick them up at the Community Center. Please let Laurie Gohl know if you want to be on this list. Copies of the Scallop Shell and the Calendar will be located on left hand table as you enter the hall.

I would appreciate members attending the informational programs that are being offered by the Plymouth Sheriff’s Department. They will be interesting programs for everyone. Please plan on attending.
Dogs – Just a reminder – According to our rules, all dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Any dog found to be running loose will be reported to Plymouth Animal Control. Be good neighbors and please pick up after your fur babies.

Litter – I will personally provide you with a bag for your car to contain any paper, debris, food containers, cans, bottles and nips you may want to throw out your window as you enter or exit the park. Please let me know if you would like one.

My broken ankle wrapped in an incredible hulk purple cast (just in time for Easter) has made me more temperamental than usual. Have a great Easter!!! Love and Blessings….

Laurie’s News
Hello Everyone, Well thank goodness we made it through March. Yes, it was cold and we had the most snow of the entire winter but we have said “Good Bye” until next year March. Welcome to April.

The Snowbirds will start to flutter home soon with more and more each week until the end of May when all should be back among us.

Well we will be having a new resident buying #7 Barnfield Dr on April 3rd. Our newest member of our community is Linda Robicheau. Give her a very warm Welcome when you meet her.

Peggy Eldridge home from the hospital wishing her a great recovery. Welcome home.

Al’s family will be putting up his house through Plimouth Commons so if you have anyone interested in moving in let the office know so they can show the house when it is ready to show.

I want to wish all of you a very

SOCIAL CLUB NEWS

Greetings from your social club,
We were hoping March would come in like a lamb but instead it was a cold and snowy month. Our social club activities kept us all busy and we made it through.

We would like to give a special thank you to Donna and Tiny Marshall for making us a delicious Traditional Irish Dinner on St. Patrick’s Day. We also want to thank Pat Donovan for donating a basket of Irish goodies for the social committee to raffle off. Ann Fallon was the lucky winner.

Now that April is here our snow birds will start returning. Be sure to tell them about all the fun things they missed.

Here’s your quick look at what we have planned for April…
We’re having a second annual spring pot luck breakfast with our Barnfield Drive neighbors. We’ve had requests for two “take out” dinner and a movie nights. The first dinner is from Rock Bottom and the next one is from Stowells. And remember, you can come to the clubhouse with your own meal. You don’t have to order out. Come and enjoy the get-together with friends. LCR is a big hit so we’re doing it twice again this month. Dinner out will be at Bobby Byrnes in Sandwich. On Bingo night there will be pizza from Monte Christos. The ladies are going back to Plymouth South High School for their luncheon. Men’s lunch will be at Tavern on the Wharf.

Donna Marshall arranged for the sheriff to come here on Wednesday the 17th at 9am. He will give us valuable information about identity theft and internet scams.

Here’s a sneak peek at the upcoming May activities….
We’re having a Kentucky Derby party. Wear your finest Derby attire. There will be a prize for the best hat. Something different for ladies luncheon, a tea party at the clubhouse. A Memorial Day pot luck pool party with entertainment by Barbara and Nancy.

As always, check out the calendar for dates and times.

Does anyone have any interest in playing cribbage or whist??? Ladies, would any of you want to play pool some afternoon?? We welcome any suggestions, comments… drop them in the social club box.
