From the Manager’s desk…
Happy New Year’s Everyone!
I trust everyone had a great Christmas and are eager to start 2017. 2016 is now history and oh what a year it was, especially in the political world. 2017 may prove to be just as interesting.
Congratulations to our winners of the Christmas Decorating Contest here in the park.
1st Place Park Model was #366 Jim & Sassy Skinner, 2nd Place was #513 Peter & Rose Roy,
3rd Place was #114 Dennis & Karen Larson. 1st Place RV was #495 Gordon & Jeanne Beck, 2nd Place #324 Alan & Marjorie Wallbank, 3rd Place #326 Varuna & Clarence Boutain. Thank you everyone for decorating your site for the Holiday Season. The Park was ever so festive looking. Also, Congratulations to the Park for placing in the Parade held in December. The folks did a wonderful job on decorating. Special thanks to Gary and Linda Starr for all the work they put into making the float.
REMINDERS:
Every Monday at 8:30 AM is the “Koffee Klatch”. This is the Park’s weekly information meeting. Coffee & donuts are available. Sue, our Activity Director, recaps the previous week’s activities and provides information on the current week’s activities. It is also an opportunity for anyone to get up and talk about any project/event/activity they are championing. There is also a 50/50 Drawing, so bring your dollar or buy 6 for $5 and join the group.
The road out in front of the office parking lot is a one-way, so please drive in the direction of the arrows.
Wash permits are required if you plan on washing your Park Model or RV. If you hire someone who has their own water tank, no permit is necessary. The Activity Office sells the permits – $5.00 for one wash or $10.00 for an annual permit.
Two parking spots next to the laundry room will or have been painted “For Laundry Parking Only”. Please do not park in those spots if you ARE NOT doing laundry.
Again, Park Model Owners, NO PARKING on the gravel, unless you have been grandfathered. If you do not have room to park in your carport, but have sufficient space on the awning side gravel area, you can submit a request to add pavers or a concrete pad; or request an exception to policy to continue parking on the gravel. Each site is different, so each request is visually checked before granting approval/disapproval.
For all the new folks returning, welcome back. One big change is at the dumpster area. All trash must be placed inside the dumpsters, or if it can be recycled, place in the recycle bins. There is no longer an area for unwanted items.
I wish you all a great 2017 and hope you all take advantage of the activities Sue and her Team have put together for you this season.
Judy Dickson, Park Manager

CASINO NIGHT!…
Friday January 27 from 7-10pm.
We are Bringing back a favorite evening from the past. Our casino night has always been a fun event but, many volunteers are needed to make this the success it has always been. Please sign up in activities.
Also, we need donations of new items for the giveaway drawings. This is a good way to rid yourself of unwanted gifts. These can be dropped off in activities or Site #181. Please help us make this an annual event once again!
Stretch & Strength Classes (chair yoga) …
Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas & will have a Happy New Year. There is no charge for the class, so if you are new & would like to join us, come along & see what it is all about. (We now will be using the Hole in the Wall). Classes are Mon. & Wed. @ 10:30 to 11:30 AM. Take care & God Bless.

Sunday Church with Pastor Scott…
The Non-Denominational church services are being held Sundays at 8:30 am in the Hole in the Wall. All are invited to attend.
FIRST COUNTRY STORE OF NEW YEAR IS JANUARY 6 …
Mark your calendars now and plan to attend the first Country Store of 2017 on Friday, Jan. 6, from 9 to 12 in the Hole-in-the-Wall. This will be an excellent chance to pick up any items left out of your Christmas stockings!
Coffee and Danish will be available for purchase at 8. Lunch will be served from 11 to 12. Richard and Karen and their crew have planned a scrumptious menu with two delicious choices. One is a combo of half a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a cup of tortellini soup; the other is a bratwurst with sauerkraut and chips. Each meal is $5.00 and includes your choice of lemonade or iced tea.
Over 40 vendors will have their wares on display, and are looking forward to wishing you a happy and healthy new year. See you on January 6. Fritzi Ferguson
A Jury is : Twelve people who determine which client has the best attorney
Sales Corral…
The Sales Staff would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
During this time of year we want to pause and be thankful for all of Gods blessings to our Nation and our families. Our staff would like everyone to keep Dennie Shepherd in their prayers as she tries to recover from her open heart operation. Steve and Dennie are long time residents of Sundance 1. (We all recognize this is a trying time for Steve as well.) We all look forward to the day that Dennie may well be bouncing around the park again.
Here’s hoping that Santa brought you good things for Christmas and good health for the New Year!
Sewing Room January Events…
The Sewing Room is “a buzz” as more Sundance residents are arriving every day. If you are new to the park or just haven’t been in lately, we invite you to come to the room and partake of all the activities planned. If you would like to participate, there is a bulletin board in the sewing room where all the activities are posted including classes, Shop Hops, luncheons, etc.
The monthly luncheon is January 18 in the Hole in the Wall. Attendees share completed projects, fun conversation and enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by our kitchen staff. Tickets are $6.50 and must be purchased 3 days prior to the luncheon. Buy your tickets in the sewing room – exact change is appreciated!
We gather on the second Tuesday of every month to work on charity projects for several organizations in the Casa Grande community. Projects include children’s and adult quilts, backpacks, fidget quilts and other fun-to-do projects. Doretta Oaklief leads this program and plans a specific project each month. This year, another committee has been organized under the leadership of Marjorie Wallbank to address the needs of our own Sundance family. This group meets at different times to fulfill the needs of our residents.
Sassy Skinner heads up classes and has scheduled two in January. On January 6 there will be an event called “What’s in Your Bag.” Sewers and quilters open their sewing bags and introduce their best, unique, and most-used tools and gadgets. Candy Mayo will lead a Mystery Quilt class on Jan 13 and 14. Participants are given the directions one step at a time and the end result is a “mystery” until it’s completed. It’s a fun two days and the mystery quilts will be displayed at the upcoming quilt show.
Plans are underway for the annual Quilt Show to be held Feb. 25. Mark your calendars. This is always something marvelous to see! The “opportunity quilt” has been completed, and tickets will be on sale throughout January and February. Proceeds are used to purchase materials for our charity projects. Candy Mayo

“Ten…” strangers are lured to an isolated island mansion off the Devon coast by a mysterious person. “Nine…” At dinner a recorded message accuses each of them in turn of having a guilty secret, and by the end of the night one of the guests is dead. “Eight…” Stranded by a violent storm, and haunted by a nursery rhyme counting down one by one as one by one they begin to die. “Seven…” Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive?
Because of room changes, the book group now meets on the third Tuesday of each month in the Hangout Room, so mark your calendar and come join us. If you love reading and enjoy discussing and fellowship, this is the group for you.
Non-Fiction Book Group…
The non-fiction reading group will begin meeting in January as we continue to read “When Everything Changed, The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present” by Gail Collins, a New York Times Columnist.

If you’d like to be added to the Book Groups email list to receive the monthly reminders or list of books, contact Candy Mayo

Camper Comments…
These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips:
“Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.”
- “Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest
Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to
limit the number of visitors to wilderness.”
- “Trails need to be wider so people can walk while
holding hands.”
- “Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking
sticks are more likely to chase animals.”
- “All the mile markers are missing this year.”
- “Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse.”
- “Trails need to be reconstructed.
Please avoid building trails that go uphill.”
- “Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs.
Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.”
- “Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow
in the winter.”
- “Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to
wonderful views without having to hike to them.”
- “The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me
awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.”
- “Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so
people can hike at night with flashlights.”
- “Need more signs to keep area pristine.”
- “A McDonald’s would be nice at the trail head.”
- “The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.”
- “Too many rocks in the mountains.”

*****
A Canadian National park ranger was warning a group of tourists about the danger of grizzly bears. He said, “Problems can occur when people unexpectedly stumble across bears. To avoid this, we advise hikers to wear tiny bells on their clothing in order to warn the bears of their presence. And always be on guard when you know bear’s are in the area, particularly if you see bear droppings,” One tourists asked, “How do you identify bear droppings?” “Easy,” replied the ranger. “They’re the ones with the tiny bells in them.”

VETERANS GROUP…
The Sundance/Fairways Veterans Group will have our next meeting on Monday, January 9th in the Fairways clubhouse at 10:00am. To assist in scheduling at Sundance, the next 2 meetings will be held at the Fairways. We meet on the second Monday of the month between November and April, and all prior members of the armed services of the United States or Canada are invited and encouraged to meet with us. We usually have interesting presentations on subjects of interest.
Our January presenter will be John (Juan) Real who at the age of seven fled with his family into the jungles of the Philippines to escape the invading Japanese. The family was rescued two and a half years later by an American submarine. He will have interesting tales to tell.
The Veterans Group voted in December to donate $500 to the new Veterans Center in Casa Grande and $300 to the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign. We expect to have speakers from these groups in subsequent meetings.
The winner of the Raffle for the Patriotic Quilt made by Lyn Ploppert, was Rose Marie Christie. Congratulations and thank you for your contributions.

Pool Room…
Season seems to be in full swing getting good turnouts. We have a few regulars due in after the holidays. I hope that some of the residence who haven’t shown up for our Tuesday and Wednesday tournaments would give it a try. We start on those days 9AM sharp, a .50 donation per player is required.
A reminder that the annual Spaghetti Dinner is on the 25th of January for further information and tickets you can contact Dave Sutterfield or the Activites Office.
Just a reminder that the only refreshments allowed in the Pool Hall is bottled water. When using the tables use the cloth in the corner pocket under the Cue Ball to brake and when finishing place all balls in the pockets and chalk back on the wall holder, Recover the Pool Tables.
These are the results for the tournaments held at the end of November thru December. The Pool Hall just hosted its Open Thursday Pool Tournament in conjunction with Mission Royale and Casa Grande RV Resort and we had a good turnout with 18 Shooters from around the area, competition was at a high level.
