We are geMng closer to puMng Phase One of the
Disaster Preparedness Plan in place. The green
folders have arrived and the T-Shirts (lime green)
which will help to iden7fy the Commi9ee members as
they walk through your neighborhood, have been
ordered.
The informa7on that will be in your folders is going
through a final review and will be ready to go into the
folders in the next few weeks. All that remains is to
assign neighborhoods to our Commi9ee members and
start distribu7ng the folders by the end of April.
The exact loca7on of the Command Center is s7ll to
be determined but will be near the Clubhouse. Don’t
forget, what you can do right now is get that three
week supply of water in place.

President’s Message Make Use of the Talents you Have...
A water bearer in India had two large
pots hung on each end of a pole that he carried across
his neck to the stream every day for water. One of the
pots had a crack in it. The other pot always delivered
a full por7on of water at the end of the long walk
from the stream, but the cracked pot always leaked,
arriving at the house only half full. Ashamed of its
imperfec7on, the pot with the crack spoke to the
water bearer one day. "I want to apologize to you."
"Why?" asked the bearer. "I can deliver only half my
load because of this crack in my side. Because of my
flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't
get full value from your efforts." The water bearer
said, "As we return from the stream today, I want you
to no7ce the beau7ful flowers along the path." A?er
leaving the stream that day, the pot with the crack
took no7ce of the beau7ful wild flowers on the side of
the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of
the trail, it s7ll had leaked out half its load, and once
again felt itself a failure. The bearer said to the pot,
"Did you no7ce that there were flowers only on your
side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? I
planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and
every day as we walk back from the stream, you
water them. For two years I have been able to pick
these beau7ful flowers to decorate my table. Without
you being just the way you are, I would not have this
beauty to grace my house."
The lesson: Each of us has our own unique flaws.
We're all pots with cracks. But when we learn how to
accept who we are and harness the talents we
already possess, nothing goes to waste.
THANK YOU for living in Summerfield.
Ken Miller

forever a?er being baked in an oven.
On April 25th
at 1:00 PM in the Art
Room, members of the Cra? Club will
demonstrate how to get started on
this fun and crea7ve pas7me.
With polymer clay you can make

Ques�on: I live in a townhouse (or a condo) and I have a ques�on
about my monthly assessment or the landscaping or the plumbing
or the parking...whom do I contact?
Answer: This is a very common ques6on! If you live in a townhouse
or condo, you are part of TWO associa6ons. Summerfield Civic
Associa6on is considered the “master homeowners associa6on” and
then there are 8 “sub-associa6ons”. The SCA Office really doesn’t
know the answers to these specific ques6ons and you’ll need to
contact somebody within your townhouse or condo associa6on. Your
volunteer Board President and Treasurer are listed on page 2 of your
2017 Resident Directory (however they do change occasionally and
we only print one 6me per year). You should also have access to your
Board Mee6ng Minutes (paper or electronic). Your Board are your
neighbors and friends and they are generously working on your
behalf, so your support and considera6on is appreciated.
Ask the Administrator By Cari Lindsey, SCA Administrator What could be be9er than star7ng the

favorite books, and learn more about
this ac7ve community. With between

good conversa7on. Join us next

A?er comple7ng the Development of Italian Opera Seria
(“serious” opera of the Baroque era) with its grandiose
produc7ons based usually on ancient history or mythology,
we will move on to the rise of Opera Buffa (Italian operas of
the mid to late 18th
century, which were melodically simpler
and more popular). Dr. Greenburg will introduce us to
Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro”, a comic, sa7rical and
o?en bawdy opera that appealed more to the masses.
Opera Buffa grew out of comic musical entertainment that
traveling musical companies called “commedia dell’arte”.
Once considered lowbrow, Opera Buffa developed into a
dominant Opera7c Genre. So for the next four lectures we
will be inspired to learn and understand the “construc7on”
of “The Marriage of Figaro”!
I personally was never a lover of the opera, but as we
con7nue to study and learn more about its beginnings and
musical structure, I am quickly becoming a fan. I believe this
is the purpose of our lectures, to open ourselves up to new
and exci7ng experiences. Come join us every Thursday at
2:00 PM in the Lakeview Room. Note that April 6th
starts at
4:00 PM. Looking forward to learning with you!
FYI: For those of you who wish to experience live opera on
the big screen visit Fathomevents.com. Upcoming events
from The Metropolitan Opera are Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene
Onegin” on April 22nd
and Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavlier” on
May 13th

When you slide back the pa7o door you are
met with warm air and the fragrances of another spring
and summer. It is calling you out. It is 7me to re-roof, re-
paint, re-window, re-driveway, re-deck and re-plant toma-
toes and beans. The Architectural Commi9ee does not
need to oversee your tomatoes. However, we do need to
help you comply with the Summerfield Condi7ons, Condi-
7ons and Restric7ons, as well as the Architectural / Land-
scape Manual, that apply to any and all changes to the
outside of your property that, by the way, you agreed to
upon purchasing a property within the Summerfield Civic
Associa7on boundaries.
Do you need to submit a Change Request for a new roof?
YES. Do you need to submit a Change Request for a new
garage door? YES. You need to submit a Change Request
for ALL outside projects. They are free and they alert our
Commi9ee to help you keep Summerfield the a9rac7ve
neighborhood that a9racted you here in the first place.
Don’t be shy. There are Change Request forms in the rack
on the wall just outside the Clubhouse office (and online
at www.summerfield55.org) and our Commi9ee will re-
spond promptly to your requests.
