“FOR THE RESIDENTS, BY THE RESIDENTS” Happy Mothers Day May 2009
To All Moms
A mother’s love is like a garden
Her children are the seeds
And as they grow, she tends to them,
Fulfilling all their needs.
Her kindness is like sunshine
That warms them as they flower.
Her nurturing like springtime rain
A soft and gentle flower.
A mother’s love is like a garden
Reflecting tender care,
For wherever there is beauty,
A mother’s love is there.
In Loving Memory, this Memorial Day
We set aside Memorial Day
Each and every year
To honor those who gave their lives
Defending what we hold dear.
In all the dark and deadly wars,
Their graves prove and remind us,
Our brave Americans gave their all
To put danger far behind us.
They made the ultimate sacrifice
Fighting for the American way;
We admire them and respect them
On every Memorial Day.
PLEASE DISPLAY YOUR FLAG ON THIS DAY TO
SHOW HOW PROUD WE ARE!!!!!!!!!

This is dedicated to all the sisters here in the park. It is so nice to have family close by and for all of those
who don’t have family here may you feel the love and friendship of your friends. The rest of us feel like
we have sisters through out this community and hopefully it continues, especially during this month of May
and the rest of your lifetime.
From the time that we were little, I knew you’d always be, not just a loving sister, but a caring friend
to me.
A shoulder I could cry on, a helping hand in times of need, a cheerleader to lift me up, my angel in
both word and deed.
We told each other secrets, we giggled and we cried, we shared our joys and sorrows---we were
always side by side.
We have a very special bond, I knew it from the start. You’ll have my love forever--we’re sisters,
heart to heart.
I hope I have not forgotten any sisters but this is the list as we know it.

PLAY BALL! On Tuesday, evening March 26, a group of 34 Southfork residents traveled to Lakeland for an evening of major league baseball featuring the Tampa Bay Rays versus the Detroit Tigers.
Upon arriving at Joker Marchant Stadium the group was escorted to a paddock area adjacent to the ball field where a huge tent provided the venue for a tail gate party extraordinaire. Under the tent we feasted on ball park franks, baked beans, potato salad and all of the soft drinks that we could possibly put away.
When finished eating we found our way to our seats which were located right behind home plate. The temperature was a balmy 78 degrees and what a night for baseball! After the opening ceremonies and some player award presentations the 2008 American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays took the field against the Detroit Tigers.
The game ended with the Rays losing to the Tigers with a score of 6 to 3 but it was still a wonderful night of watching the great American game with a nice group of neighbors and friends. SUBMITTED BY: Jim Morvatz

HOT DOG A�D HAMBURGER FEST
The weekly Wednesday evening event by the pool will soon be coming to a close for the spring season. Our last cookout will be on April 29th. We are temporarily ceasing operations for several reasons, mainly the upcoming insect season, coupled with the increase in temperature which makes it very uncomfortable for members of our staff and our chefs to work outdoors.
My special thanks go out to the other members of the committee, those being Shirlynn Collier, Aggie Mitchell and Bob Downs. Also my sincere gratitude goes out to those who volunteered to be on the weekly teams which without whose help we would not have been able to conduct the activity.
As you know we tried to expand on the festivities by trying several new menu items during the fall, winter and spring season. Most of those items were well received and hopefully enjoyed by you as our guests for the evening.
We also ventured into a new area by trying to provide live entertainment for your listening pleasure. This endeavor was also well received and all of the entertainers have be retained to provide upcoming "gigs" for your entertainment in the future.
As you know, your Southfork Homeowners Association fronts the money for this activity and proceeds from the activity are plowed right back into the association's coffers for other events. Even though we decided to stick with last year’s menu prices we still managed to make a moderate profit from the sale of food and 50/50 tickets.
Finally, it has been my pleasure as a relative "newbie" to be involved in an activity which proved to be very demanding but still very rewarding in the area of meeting my neighbors and making new friends. Being a member of the Southfork Homeowners Association and having the opportunity to be involved here has truly reinforced my decision to live at one of central Florida's premier active 55+ communities.
Sincerely,
Jim Morvatz
Bridge
This is the official notice that the Southfork Bridge Group will cease playing after the April 1st gathering. I
want to thank all the ladies and gentlemen who have helped to make this year’s Wednesday afternoons so
enjoyable!!! We have had twelve players most of the time. Included in that group are several members
from the Blue Jay community. It is nice to know we have an ecumenical bridge group (or does that word
apply to churches only?)
We will resume playing on Wednesday, November 4th at 1:00pm. If you might be interested in joining with
us in the fall, just give me a call. Anita Warschkow has agreed to help me next year.
