I had the pleasure of meeting "newcomers" this week when they parked their 5th wheel across the street from us. It was FUN listening to their first impressions of our beautiful park. They're excited to learn about all the activities available and are already planning to extend their stay.
We enjoyed the Tuesday morning coffee and the big list of upcoming events that were announced.
We're so lucky to have Marion and JD Nelson on staff!
CANCER AWARENESS WEEKEND
Preparations are underway for the huge cancer awareness weekend January 31. Different organizations will be conducting fund raising events, tournaments, etc. Last year Palm Creek was able to donate over $32,000 to the Cancer Alliance program. Marion announced that Palm Creek/Sun Communities does NOT benefit from the funds but 100% is donated to the Alliance.
T-shirts will be on sale for the cancer event weekend. See the sample available in the Activities center. Cost is $16. Great shirts this year. Check them out.
The flamingo flock program will return again where you can sign up to have a friend or neighbor "flocked" with a display of pink flamingos in their yard. FUN event. Check in activities for details.
The Pro Shop has some Nine and Dine events scheduled and a Big Cup tournament.
The balloon glow is a MUST event to attend. There will be 8-10 large colorful hot air balloons on display that night...Friday, January 31. The balloon pilots will be looking for crew members to help with tethering. Watch activities for sign up. (Thank you to local resident John Ross for organizing this huge event!)
SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE
Whoops!! I hear that the band at the January 4 dance was definitely not up to Palm Creek standards. This same band was scheduled for February 29 but their contract is now canceled and a different group will be announced. Those holding tickets for February 29 will be contacted by Activities with further information.
This announcement was issued by Activities Director: Ashley Delgado
EDWARDS TWINS
Have you watched the TV series "The Kominsky Method"? The Barbara Streisand impersonator from that show is one of the Edwards Twins that will be performing here this Wednesday, January 8. Ten tickets were still available as of this morning.
FREEDOM RV SHOW:
Freedom RV will have quite a few rigs here on display for the weekend. Stop by to browse their showroom in the Palm Park area.
CLUB EXPO
This year over 30 clubs and organizations will be setting up a station in the ballroom to talk about the events they have to offer. It will be a great chance to browse and ask questions about classes, meetings, and events. Stop in to check it out from 10:00 to 1:00.
CASINO NIGHT
Casino night is this Saturday, January 11. Tickets are sold out but there are still tickets for the dance starting at 6:30. The Spotlight Band will be playing and they are very popular. Hurry to get your tickets. The dance is not a BYOB event because the park has purchased a liquor license for the night.
CRAFT FAIR
Be sure to attend the Craft Fair Tuesday, January 14. Fun shopping experience with a large assortment of vendors.

ADVENTURES OF KAT AND MOUSE
I noticed that Mouse was very interested in our furnace filter compartment of our park model. Why??
Aha.......now I know the answer.
Of course it means we had to replace the filter. I then securely taped the door shut to avoid further incident but that didn't work as Kat still managed to pull the door open and ruin another filter. Finally Don had to drill a hole and screw the door shut.
