Seems like it was just the other day and we were welcoming in the New Year. A number of residents attended the New Year's Eve Get Together and welcomed the New Year with a champagne toast at midnight.
The following items were presented at the January meeting:

Approved $200 seed money was allotted for the Valentine Party on February 18th. Approved $400 seed money was allotted for the Come to the Islands Party on March 26th. Approved $150 was given for the Mardi Gras party on Februarry 25th.
Walt Karwarsinski reported on the committee findings on split ticket prices. They gathered information from 16 parks in the area - 7 had social clubs, 9 had none; 4 charged dues up to $10. Most events were pay as you go; there were no split fees. The committee recommended no split fees. After a discussion a motion to eliminate split fees was passed (44 to 12).
Don Paquette invited people to couples country dance lessons on Sundays from 4-6 p.m.
Jan Bohlinger, Bingo Chairperson, expressed a need for floor workers and callers for bingo. If you are interested in working, please contact Jan.

I haven't had a chance to work on the February agenda but do know that the Nominating Committee will be presenting the Slate of Officers for next year.

The Thursday afternoon crafters met and took a class in painting and rouging where each member drew and learned by instruction how to complete this project. Those members had a wonderful time and not only enjoyed the class immensely but were delighted to find that every member produced a lovely, one of a kind art piece. On January 19th a second class was held with Jan again in charge. The group had a delightful time learning the painting and rouging technique and proudly displayed their work. Jan has one more class scheduled so check with her to see if there are any more openings available. Jan will try to bring another class to the community in the coming months so check the bulletin board for information and sign up sheets.
Shirley Hassom was in charge of a Bracelet Making Craft Session held on Monday, January 23 at the clubhouse. Over 16 residents met and made a beautiful variety of Treasure Beads Bracelets.

Shirley will try to schedule another class possibly in March for those who would like to join the class so check the bulletin board for additional information and sign up sheets.

Coffee was provided by the Social Club and each resident was asked to bring their favorite dessert to share. Carole Kolbe was in charge of this event. Thanks to all those people who came and enjoyed the event. Nancy Vollmer won the 50/50 drawing.
On Friday, January 13 The Lakeside Terrace Boat Club made a boat trip to Nelson's Fish Camp for a day on the lake and a delightful lunch with friends and neighbors. Charlie Barcus noted that 7 boats made the trip with approximately 44 people enjoying the trip. The boats met at the Lakeside Terrace Dock and traveled together up Lake Griffin arriving at Nelsons around noon. It was quite a nice group and despite the threats of rain and possible tornados everyone had a wonderful time. Residents are encouraged to check the clubhouse bulletin board for the next scheduled boat trip.
On Saturday, January 14, Lakeside Terrace held a Breakfast Buffet from 8:30am - 9:30am under the chairmenship of Nancy Vollmer and her committee consisting of Nancy Barcus, Nancy Vollmer, Shirley Harrison, Peg Aniol, Lee Hayden, Sue and Doug Rice, John Waite, Rich Aniol. Doug Rice lead the group of over 115 residents in prayer.

Charlotte Vique won the 50/50 drawing and Dave Bohlinger and Frank Hamilton both won free tickets to the next breakfast..

FMO Meeting January 25, 2006
Molokai MHP
FMO is the Federation of Manufactured Home Owners of Florida, Inc. Many of us, like myself do not know what the FMO does And how it represents mobile home owners.
It watches for rule changes and challenges, many that are not in our best interests. In November a petition with 35,000 names, was delivered to Governor Jeb Bush and his Cabinet. This pertained to the insurance issues many were going through after the 2004 Hurricane season. These problems were difficult for many in the renewal as well as purchase process for mobile home owners, especially those built prior to the 1994 Code requirements. This is a work in progress.
All Mobile Home Communities should consider having a "Storm Prep Seminar" sponsored by FMO. This program addresses the unique storm needs of manufactured home owners. It includes Information about tie down techniques, insurance, and personal safety. This is important to all our residents whether they are here 2 months or all year. Some will not have the opportunity to make those important last minute preparations for a hurricane. All of our homes need to be protected. We will look into this program. Membership applications are on the Bulletin Board.
Michele Lennon
FMO Representative for Lakeside Terrace, District 3
The Red Hat Piccidilly Lilly's met last Friday morning, February 20, to discuss
future plans for the group. Pat Voelker discussed the possibility of taking a trip
to see the Musical Sweet Charity at the Ice House Theater in Mt. Dora. Unfortunately when we called tickets were almost totally sold out for the shows with only a few available that were scattered throughout the theater. We will look into another show and plan ahead the next time for all those interested in this type of outing. Many of our ladies expressed such an interest.
There is also an interest in a Movie Outing and Tea at the Magnolia Tea Room at the Lake Square Mall. A date has been set for Tuesday, February 28, at 11:30am. Mark your calendars and join us for a lovely Tea and some entertainment following. We will be looking into what movies will be playing on that date. A sign up Sheet will be posted soon for all those interested in going. All residents and guests are cordially invited to attend and as usual, Red Hat Attire is optional. However, all those Red Hatters who are inclined to dress in Red Hat Finery are encouraged to do so in honor of our Esteemed Queen Mum, Evelyn Heinfeld.
The Red Hat Piccidilly Lilly's are also planning on getting together informally on Monday, January 30th at lpm at the club house to make little decorative floral arrangements under the direction of Jean McFerren. These floral pieces will be delivered to the Leesburg Nursing Home residents on Friday, March 31, at 10:30am by the Piccidilly Lilly's. Friday's are the normal Bingo day for the residents so we will be helping them to the Bingo Room and assisting them with their games. A sign up sheet will be posted in the near future for those members who would like to take the time to visit the residents and bring a little sunshine into the residents. We have selected the Leesburg Nursing home because, as Queen Mum Evelyn states, " we should bloom where we are planted" ...nicely said Evelyn and so very true. This is our home and we need to spread some joy and eheer to those who are in need of some sunshine. There will be more on this subject soon.
I would also like to invite our Red Hat Ladies and our residents to take up another project and that is one of bringing some well wishes and cheer to our men and women overseas. We now have a wonderful opportunity to do this through one of our residents' son. Doug and Sue Rice are one of the many countless families with a family member stationed so far away from home. We discussed this at our Social Club Meetings and would like to take it one step further by starting to send mail to their son, Bradley Rice. Here is his address: (Brad has a birthday the 27th of this month.)
CW2 BRADLEY R RICE
B CO 2-147th AVN
4-101 A VN REGT
IS9th A VN BDE
101st Airborne Div (ASSL T)
APO AE 09391
I encourage each and everyone of you to take a moment and send a note or card to Bradley wishing him well, thanking him for the job he is doing to protect this
great country of ours. A thinking of you note or just a card wishing him a happy birthday would bring a smile.
Our next task will be to get as many people as possible to provide a note or card so that we can box them all up and get them to his entire unit. I am sure many of them do not get much mail from family, friends or loved ones and days must seem very long between words from home.
We will be working on this project to let these men and women, sons and daughters, husband and wives and mothers and fathers, know how proud we are of them, and how much we thank them for the sacrifices they are making to keep our country safe and free. Please join me in this project, it will be so little from each of us and it will mean a whole lot to them. There will be more to come on this subject!
THAT'S ALL FOR THIS MONTH'S SEAGULL FOLKS, CHANGES COMING IN MARCH AS YOUR CURRENT EDITORS ARE RETIRING....
