New! Lecture Series
HOW IT’S MADE
Harvesting Energy from the Sun
Friday, June 10th
1:30 pm in the Party Room
On Friday, June 10th, at 1:30 pm, Cornell Estates is
pleased to announce the launch of another new
educational lecture series called “How’s It Made”
with a special presentation on solar technology.
In “Harvesting Energy from the Sun,” Mr. Mark
Farrell of Synchro Solar will describe how solar
technology works, the history and growth of the
industry, incentives and cost examples for going
solar in residential and commercial applications, as
well as information on current U.S. fuel sources.
Synchro Solar is a full-service Oregon-based
contractor that specializes in a streamlined approach
to the design and installation of solar electric and
solar hot water systems. With over 20 years of
experience in commercial building products, Mr.
Farrell promotes Property-Assessed Clean Energy
programs around the country and installation of
renewable solar energy systems.
This event is free and open to the public. We
would love to see you at this fascinating
presentation on Friday, June 10th, at 1:30 pm!
Continuing Education
Educational Travelogue:
Key West & The Everglades
Friday, June 24th
1:30 pm in the Party Room
A secret treasure map. Alligator-
infested jungles. Sunken treasure.
These are the stuff of legends, and
nowhere is it more obvious than in
Florida’s Key West and the
Everglades. Join Bob and Lanora Kuest on Friday,
June 24th,, at 1:30 pm in the Party Room as we
explore the unique shipping history and ecosystems
for which southern Florida is famous.
In the 1850s, Key West was one of the richest cities
in the United States. As Bob Kuest guides us
through the Shipwreck Treasures Museum and the
Mel Fisher Museum, it’s not difficult to understand
why: many ships were wrecked on the Florida Keys
reefs, and the inhabitants of Key West made their
fortunes recovering the cargo!
Of course, the Keys are legendary for more than
pirate legends and shipwrecked treasure. They’re
also famous for some spectacular wildlife,
including the Butterfly Conservatory and the
Everglades themselves. The Butterfly conservatory
houses some 50-60 species of butterflies in a
tropical paradise, complete with waterfalls, trees,
and colorful birds.
But the main attraction, as Bob Kuest will tell you,
Interested in visiting Macy’s, REI, Romano’s Grill,
Shari’s on 185th, Trader Joe’s, and Pier 1
Imports? The Cornell bus will be offering a hop-on,
hop-off shuttle through the Streets of Tanasbourne
and Tanasbourne Village at 185th on Thursday,
June 9th, starting at 1:30 pm.
You will be able to hop off at
one location, then hop back on
to check out a different shop on
the shuttle bus route. Bus
routes and schedules will be
provided. Sign up at the Front
Desk for this shoppers’ special!

Shoppe, a charming, intimate space in which guests

After a relaxing dinner at the tea house, head to the

your toes or look for that perfect seashell.
Round your day out with a trip to the Tillamook
Cheese Factory. Take the self guided tour with
kiosks, viewing windows, videos and lots of fun
stops along the way – a feast for the senses!
Schreiner’s Iris Gardens

display gardens open to the public. Thousands of
Iris will be in bloom, from the deepest black to pure
white, fire red to azure blue, glowing copper to
