Edgewater Landing holds 21st

Annual Memorial Day Ceremony

Standing room only marked the occasion of Edgewater Landing’s 21st

Annual Memorial Day Cere-mony honoring America’s fallen heroes. Approximately 50 residents assisted Co-Chairs, Bob Gudis and Ginger Clark, in making this year’s Ceremony one of the most memorable ever. Bob and Ginger could never thank everyone enough for all of their help. Whoever/whenever we called to ask, the an-swer was yes. What a wonderful community we live in. From set up to rehearsal to Ceremony to clean up, everyone pitched in and the resulting program reflected their hard work. “Cadence” signaled presentation of the Honor Guard: Rifles-Dave Guinn and Michael Hosmer as they escorted National Color Bearers: American Flag-Bob Keller, Florida Flag-Stephen Mace, MIA/POW Flag-Lin Griffith into the hall. National Colors were followed by Military Flag Bearers, each to the individual Military Song: Army-Dan Hautala, Marine-Al Keller (in full uniform), Navy-Bob Frey, Air Force-Teresa Hosmer, Coast Guard-Dale Buzby and Merchant Marine-Paul Renaud. Invocation, given by Ginger Clark, was followed by singing of the “National Anthem” A cappel-la by Dan Donnelly followed by the “Pledge of Allegiance”. Mary Anna Fanselow presented a very interesting and enlightening Patriotic Reading following the role women have played in Military Service since our Country’s inception. As we do each year, names of Veterans living at Edgewater Landing, or if deceased, have family members living here, are read and each Veteran or family members stand for the duration of reading of names from that branch of service. There were 234 names read this year—65 deceased and 189 still residing at Edgewater Landing. The names were read as follows: Army-Judy Mace, Navy-Penny Grif-fith, Air Force-George Neiswenter and Marines/Coast Guard/Merchant Marines-Ann Grealis. We thank all for their service to our Country. Patty Moody sang “The Lord’s Prayer” so beautifully and many a tear had to be wiped away. Edgewater Landing Chorus, accompanied by Mary Lou Keenan, directed by Merilyn DuPre sang three beautiful, well-known songs representing the wonderful Country we live in: “America the Beauti-ful,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “You’re A Grand Old Flag.” How we love our Chorus! They always add such a special element to any celebration at the Landing. We were very honored in welcoming Miss Lillian Hill of Edgewater, recent recipient of the Congres-sional Gold Medal from President Obama, as the featured speaker. Attendees learned that Miss Hill joined the Civil Air Patrol at the young age of 13 as World War II broke out in 1941. Wanting to serve her country in some capacity, but too young to join the military, Ms. Hill served as a spotter, flying daily for the duration of the war along the shoreline of the Great Lakes. Attaining a teaching degree while raising her children and teaching special education at the high school level, she later served with the American Red Cross working such catastrophes as 9/11 in New York City and New Orleans follow-ing Katrina. We viewed with interest her numerous awards and articles on the Memorabilia Table. Her humor, as well as her vivid memories, resulted in a standing ovation. Bagpiper, Don Faull, piped out the Colors to “Amazing Grace” and following a moment of silence in honor of fallen Veterans, Dick Cuchetti played “Taps.” Upon Dismissal, refreshments were enjoyed and attendees spent time viewing the Memorabilia Tables and Picture Posters prepared over the years by Sharon Rehbaum and Ginger Clark. Again, our thanks to all who helped in any capacity and to those who sent or called with kind words about the Ceremony. Ginger Clark

Up Close and Personal

Meet The Nominating Committee.

Nick Bratton is the Chair with Nancy Finkley as co-chair.

Now when you see Nancy or Nick, you’re not meant to run the other way.

They are very personable people and very hard workers. They are charged

with a very important task for our community and that’s to find people to

serve on our BOARD OF DIRECTORS to run our Community.

Who knows our community better than us. It’s not such a big deal to scare the bejesus out of you,

speaking from experience (lol). Our community has so many very qualified people who serve as chair-

people of our committees. And with so many brilliant people running all the committees, the BOD is left

to do the leftovers and even at that we have a management company to attend to the incidentals.

So, take a seat. It’s your turn. Oh, why not me? Been there, done that, your turn. You get sum-mers off and you can even miss 3 meetings in a row and you just might retain your seat if you’re lucky or unlucky. What do you say? Give Nancy and Nick a break and help them out. They’ve worn out their shoes, turning every rock, searching high and low and the answer is right in front of them, you! Kudos to Nancy and Nick

Tis the Season

No, No, not that season, the other one--- Hurricane Season!

Now’s the time to get ready, while we have the time. Pre-

paredness is something that saves lives. It’s no time to be out of

your medications and to hope the drug store will be open before

you have to leave town. Now’s the time before you leave town

either for the season or in an emergency, to make sure all lawn

items are put away so they can’t be blown away or into your

neighbors windows and possibly injure someone. Time is now to

make sure your boat, kayak and even RV will stay put. Secure

them now, if you can.

So make your list now and be prepared!! We are in a man-

datory evacuation zone. So when the call comes, we all must

leave our homes. And there probably won’t be time to start

looking for a shelter that will take animals. Now’s the time to

have a shelter in mind and to have a stash of extra medications

that can tide you over in an emergency.

Look for up-dated articles in the newspaper that will

list all needed supplies as well as a list of shelters.

So make your plans now. You may not have time later!

Education Committee EDUCATION SEMINAR PLANNING FOR NEXT FALL AND INTO THE NEXT YEAR: Our goal, as a committee, is to provide interesting and informative programs to the residents of our community. The seminars will resume on Wednesday, September 9, 2015. For this coming year we have several speakers lined up. Currently scheduled for September, but subject to change, is Diane Stoyka from First Call Home Care who will present the different options and services available for home care. For October, definitely scheduled, is J ill Taufer RD, from cooperative extension, who will present Healthy Eating for Seniors. We would also be interested in determining if there is enough interest in arranging for an AARP safe driving course. Any suggestions from residents for future programs are welcomed. Virginia Ciereck, Jack Rorabaugh. Ginger Clark

JERRY MATHEWS ONE-MAN-BAND ENTERTAINS EDGEWATER LANDING

For anyone that attended our May 2015 $6.00 Dance Night thinking all they were going to hear is Country Western music, boy were they surprised. Jerry Mathews, though only a one-man-band, has the ability to sing not only Country Western, but Oldies, Rock and Roll, Pop—just about anything you would want. Add to that the fact that he has an amaz-ing voice and plays a mean guitar, and you have the makings of a very enjoyable evening. Now, add in great friends, good munchies and our beautiful Clubhouse and you REALLY have all you need for an enjoyable time—and we did. While our numbers were slightly less than usual, that meant the dance floor was wide open for those of us that want to get “wild and crazy.” What…. you didn’t know we get wild and crazy? Well, maybe not THAT wild and crazy, but enough to ensure a good time was had by all. Now, wild and crazy Line Dancers… that’s a different story. They were out in force. We also were happy to entertain guests, Lillian Hill (our Memorial Day Speaker) and friend Linda. Ginger and a few others had a very hard time keeping up with those two who are great dancers and never seem to tire out. Thanks again, Entertainment Guys, for bringing entertainment to the Landing even when our snowbirds have flown north. Those of us remaining really appreciate your hard work. By the time you read this we will have enjoyed the great Band, Monterey, June 26, and we will report on that in the next Pelican Pouch. In that there won’t be a Pelican Pouch edition in August, keep your eyes on the Blue Screen and on the Bulletin Board for upcoming fun times this summer.
