Message from the Social Club
I would like to take this time to welcome your new Social Club board. Elected in March was; Dale Mathurin, President, Pam Hunt, Vice President, Sonia Kuperis, Secretary and Diana Lutch, Treasurer. I know they will be working very hard to provide you with great events and fun filled parties. I look forward to working with them.
I would like recognize our outgoing Vice President Barbara Drawbaugh. Barbara has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many years. For the last three years she has been your Vice President. A roll she has performed over and above what was requested. It was my honor to serve with her. Also, our outgoing Secretary, Eva Joline has been with us for the last two years. Eva has performed many duties behind the scenes along with her duties as Secretary. Eva is also to be commended for all she has done. It was my honor to serve with these two fine people. Don’t fret, they will still be working for you so you can enjoy our many activities.
Speaking of activities, April has a lot for you to enjoy. Our annual Aloha party will be held on April 4th. Entertainment will be provided by the Rukkus Band. At our Koffee Klatch on the 4th we will have a contest – who can guess how many jellybeans in the jar. The winner will win a free ticket to our hilariously themed “Tacky Tourist Dance” to be held on April 18th. At this dance you will dress in your finest wacky tourist garb. Let’s all have fun with this theme.
Hot Dogs will be served at our Bingo on the 1st, 15th and 29th games. Bunco is the 13th and 27th. Game night will be on the 25th this month. Don’t forget Karaoke on the 3rd and 17th. There is also chair volleyball on Sundays and all your exercises throughout the week.
At our March 7 Koffee Klatch, Capt. Dave Young from the Oldsmar Fire Department gave a presentation on Hurricane Preparedness. There was a lot of useful and interesting information. He will join us again at our July 18th Koffee Klatch with some additional information.
Your Social Club has many other activities planned for your enjoyment throughout the year. Please join us in all the fun.

CARPET CLEANING Chem-dry of Clearwater 727-447-4726 Clyde Miller, Owner “If your dog like mine (of course she’s older) made a real mess on your rug, you really need to call this company. I had the worse mess I ever saw with poop she had walked into and all tracked all over the house and rug. They came out and worked a miracle! My rug is beautiful and clean. Jack was professional, polite and the price was reasonable for such a mess. I would highly recommend them to make your rugs and upholstery look fantastic.” AW

ATTENTION…. all Gull Aire Veterans
Keep your calendar open for an event, Tuesday night April 14th 6:30pm. at the club house.
We are organizing a Veterans group to
reminisce about your time in the service, maybe organize other activities such as going to a ball game, maybe a speaker that would be helpful to you and a cookout. Maybe you have some helpful information that would help your fellow Veterans? We plan to start a veteran's wall, so start looking for a picture of you while in the service. This will be an informal group. Come with your ideas for how to make this a group that you will want to attend and have fun. Remember to bring your spouse, or any other family member, so they can join in the fun.
Please spread the word and remind anyone you know here in Gull Aire Village about this meeting. We all seem to say " I forgot" a little too often lately.
This is your group and we want it to be about you, the Veteran.
If you have any questions call Peggy Allison at 304-415-2684 or Elaine Jourdan at 904-248-0083. Hope to see you there.
Silly Spring Fashion Show The show was a “roaring” success and we want to say: Thanks to Models: Barbara Vance, Elaine Jordan, Ken Foster, Jan Colden, Elaine Caldwell, Mike Coyle, Paula Marrone, Gail Clark, Barbara Drawbaugh, Sue Van Vessem, Jean & Don Farris, Jayne Carver, Sheila Clark, Pam Hunt, Pat Marietta, Sandy Giangregorio, Mickey Stewart, Dale Mathurin, and Perry Burright.
Thanks to all those who tirelessly helped with decorations (an “awesome group”), assisting models, setup, cleanup and the kitchen crew.
Thanks to our DJ Richard Clark, Narrator Vickie Mills, and Chef Joe Carty.
A special thanks to the residents who attended this fun event - you made it all worthwhile.
