From the PresidentSince

the annual picnic. I am looking forward to the September 10th
meeting which will be our first meeting with me as your President.
I have scheduled three guest speakers for upcoming
meetings.

- Mr. Allen Zippin from the Shriners Hospital.
October
- Mr. Patrick
Sullivan from the Springfield Parks Department. November
- Ms. Brenda
Garton a well-known local TV personality, who now works for Western New
England Collage. I am looking into Plans for a December Christmas party as I am sure that the Board of Directors will approve such a party for the Association. Our SympathyOur
condolences to Ann Hadank, her family and the Broska Family for the loss
of their Mother Alice.
Picnic When
people work together as a team they can move
mountains. This was seen at our Annual Picnic. I am pleased with the teamwork
and cooperation that was shown.
The
people who planned and helped to make the picnic a success deserve all
of the credit. The food was good and our Chef did a terrific job. “Thank
You”.
We had such a good time and so much fun that we will be doing it again next year. AARP Chapter 1385The
next Meeting will be September 5th at the Good Life Center,

entertaining our members and guests. Everyone is invited.

Community PoliceLast
week I represented the Sixteen Acres Civic Association at the Community
Police meeting. It was a great experience for me. There was a lot of participation
by the people representing the many organizations from the city.
We
are working together to make our Communities Safer for all
Mystery StructureIs
it a house? Is it a business? We’ll soon find out. Everyone has been asking
the same question. So we will have to wait and see. If it looks like a
duck and walks like a duck it is a duck. I hope it is not a business.
September MeetingOur
regular membership meeting will be held on September 10th, 7pm at the Church
Of The Acres. Everyone needs to attend and should attend. Be sure to
bring your donation for the Open Pantry.
Executive Board MeetingThe
Executive Board will meet on Sept. 4th at 6:30pm at the Children
Study Home, Old Acre Rd.
To all my
friends in the association, Mere
words don't seem enough to express my gratitude for being recognized by
the association at the annual picnic. The gift certificates will definitely
be used as Roland and I truly enjoy the Olive Garden restaurant. To be
recognized for doing something that has meant so much to me for all these
years was a plus. I have made so many wonderful friends that I otherwise
would not have had the privilege of doing. Everything that we do in life
is creating a memory. The picnic will be a memory that I will look back
to many times and will treasurer. Again, thank you all my dear friends.
Jean
