Garth Live Show, Club Expo

Our Arizona weather has been a bit chilly this season and is playing havoc with our normally scheduled outdoor events. Let's hope for lots of sunshine next Tuesday for the big event.  The Garth Live group will be playing great music!
  Luckily, we've been able to switch from evening to a daytime event.  The forecast is for sunny sky with highs in the mid 50s so dress warm and we can still enjoy the anticipated 10 food trucks at 1:00.



Let's take time to honor and thank the four recycling gents who so diligently crush all the aluminum cans that are gathered in bins.  They voluntarily crush the MANY cans and donate the proceeds to local charities.  I by chance ran into them while they were hard at work one morning this week.  They crushed 18 bags this day.
Jim Uhler, Lee Davis, Steve Merriman, and Kent Evans
Kent Evans is a year-round resident and crushes the cans by himself all summer long!  Watch him in action.  😀

I'd like to put in a good word about the Club Expo that was held last Saturday.  We had a huge turn out and booths were busy all morning as we boasted about our clubs and activities with guests who walked through the aisles.  This is a valuable event for newcomers to Palm Creek.

I was there to promote the fun card game called SWOOP.  We've met so many friendly newcomers to the park.  Also...iPad classes will again be held Saturday, January 28 and February 11 at 9:30 in the SanTan room.

There is a bulletin board just outside the mailroom where residents can post items for buy/sell/or trade.  It's a great place to look for ticket sales and/or rentals.  If you can't make it to an event and you already have a purchased ticket, post the announcement here for quick results.  Keep an eye on this board if you're looking for an extra ticket.

Can you help with the big upcoming Balloon Glow?  Volunteers are needed to assist with the big balloons on February 4 and 5.  Sign up in activities to be part of the adventure.
