The Informant – January 2017

DAVID RAGAN, Senior VP of Resident Services, called the first meeting of the New Year to order at 2:15PM. He noted that the campus continues to be one where residents reach out and care for each other. For the New Year, David had some new definitions which served to start the year off with a laugh. For example, the word balderdash is defined as a rapidly receding hairline, coffee is the person upon whom you cough, and abdicated is when you have lost all hope of a flat stomach.

Calling All Bakers! Upcoming April Events and More…

Spring is in the air and that means our next Buzy Bee bazaar is coming up shortly! The sale will take place on Thursday, April 14th from 10AM-2PM outside the Bistro facing Plaza North. The Buzy Bees have been working hard at creating new crafts for the sale that you surely won’t want to miss. Not only will we have crafts available but there will also be ceramics for sale and those yummy baked goods. This is the time of the year that we ask for baked good donations from residents and staff on campus. If you are interested in donating one of your specialties, we ask that you call Didi at x8473 or Monica at x8526 and let us know what you will be contributing for the sale.

Not only is the sale taking place but there is so much more to come in April. We all know the song “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” right? The Diamondbacks’ regular season is also upon us and we will be hitting Chase Field on Wednesday, April 6th to see the D-Backs take on the Colorado Rockies. Boarding passes for this trip will be available at the Welcome Center for $45.00.
Arizona Broadway Theatre Presents: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas – we will be heading to the Broadway Theatre on Saturday, April 16th to catch this fun musical. Boarding passes are available at the Welcome Center for $68.00. Lunch is included in the fee. Ready, Set.. GO get those tickets!

Are you a Veteran from WWII? If so, we will be hosting our very first organizational meeting Saturday, April 2nd at 2PM in the Admin. Conference Room. No need to sign up, we want to welcome you and meet together.

Look for all the other upcoming events such as…

Fashion Square Mall, The Chinese Cultural Center, The Phoenix Symphony Pops & Coffee Classics, The John Waddell Sculpture Garden in Cornville, Arizona, Cliff Castle Casino, Wells Fargo History Museum and much more! Look out for the synopsis sheets as well that are distributed the first week of the month. These sheets have all the details about the trips, including where to sign up, if a boarding pass is needed and numbers to call with any questions. They are located in the main lobby of your building where the weekly sheets are placed.
As always, if you have an idea, suggestion or want to join in on creating the fun, slip a note in our idea box located outside of the Recreation Office. Happy Spring! *
