CHAPEL NOTESRichard Koerselman

Happy New Year! Did you know that New Year’s Day is the one holiday that is almost universal? It is the world’s most observed holiday and it is often about making resolutions.

The late Erma Bombeck made some memorable resolutions:

1. I will go to no doctor whose office plants have died.2. I’m going to apply for a hardship scholarship to Weight

Watchers.3. I will never loan my car to anyone I’ve given birth to.Resolutions can be fun, but sometimes we take them

seriously. But if we fail, shouldn’t worry, Lent begins on March 6; then we can give them up.

Did you hear about the poor guy who dialed his girlfriend and got the following recording: “I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes.”

There can be real disappointments when we resolve to change. The Bible has a good answer in Philippians 3.

My friends, I don’t feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.

May God richly bless you in all of 2019.

Book ClubShelley Randall

On December 4, 2018, we had a lively discussion of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. We talked about the power of writing to bring order to our experiences. A.J. Fikry lives alone on Cape Cod and owns a bookstore. His life is turned upside down when a mysterious “package” appears at the bookstore and he is given a chance to make his life over. This novel has humor, romance, a touch of suspense, and love; it captures the joy of connecting people and books. It is about the triumph of love and literature over loss and loneliness. Meaningful quotes: “Sometimes books don’t find us until the right time.” Sign on A.J.’s bookstore: “No Man Is an Island; Every Book is a World.”

Please join us on January 8 at 10:00 AM in the Saguaro Room to discuss the book Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas.

Our reading list for January-June 2019 includes the following books:

Jan. 2019 Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas.Feb. 2019 The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See. March 2019 Share a favorite bookApril 2019 The Day the World Came to Town by Jim Defede. May 2019 Look me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s

In addition to the folks we acknowledged earlier this year, we thank Lee Jackson for giving us two huge tubs of fabric and batting to be used on our sharing projects or next garage sale. We also thank all the wonderful folks who donated to, and purchased from our garage sale and craft fair booth and to Jim Hulbert for donating the beautiful mesquite bowl with turquoise inlay won by Kathy Rozalewycz.

DOGS R USL.Paulsen

Hi! I’m Lulu, a 4-month-old semi-sweet, semi-wild Shih Tzu puppy. I was born in Iowa, adopted by Rob and Pat Bleckinger and traveled to a home in Minnesota for the fall. It started to get cold there, so we came on a LONG drive to Arizona. I’m now learning about cactus and rock lawns, but I still find some grass to roll in once in awhile. I just visited the vet for some shots and had my first hair cut. So many new things all at once!

I am meeting new neighbors, and I love everybody. If you give me a chance, I will bite you a little bit! I look forward to meeting all dogs in the Dog Club. I think I will like it here in Sunland Village East.

In February, we will be having our yearly drive to help animal shelters with needed supplies.

WATER VOLLEYBALLAl Hensley

Come join us for lots of fun in the sun at Water Volleyball. Everyone is welcome. Play is at the north pool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If you want to try it first, just call and we can make arrangements to meet. I can show you how to play and tell you the rules. Contact Al Hensley at 480-404-6056 or email at [email protected] or Mike Lauer at 602-291-2823 or email at [email protected]

A belated Merry Christmas and a very happy, healthy and blessed New Year to everyone! We ended 2018 playing lots of pickleball, in spite of the chill in the air and the need to dress warm. We participated in the annual Christmas parade and had a lot of fun decorating, singing and parading. New Year’s evening we gathered together to welcome 2019.

Now, the New Year is here and 2019 looks exciting. We have started planning for our annual Potato Bar fundraiser in the auditorium – February 9th. This year we have decided our potato bar will include chili, and we will be providing chili in place of our soup contest. Back by popular demand will be karaoke and silent auction. We look forward to serving everyone at our annual loaded potato bar and fun night!

In January we will elect two new pickleball board positions, vice president and secretary. I will soon be passing the secretary’s mantel to a new person. I have been blessed to have met and interacted with so many supportive pickleball club members who share the love of this sport. Also, in my capacity as secretary, I have gotten to know many residents in our greater community who continue to support pickleball’s growth as a viable sport here at SVE. Thank you all!

We continue our beginner lessons for anyone interested in giving pickleball a try. We have a full court schedule posted at the courts, including open play for SVE residents who are not members. If you like outdoor sports, meeting new people and having fun pickleball could be your sport. Hope to see you on the courts!

COUPLES GOLFMary Ann RoersWe are back in the swing of things, and the Couples

Golf members are meeting every Friday morning to play 9 or 18 holes on our beautiful course. A social at 4:30 pm at the auditorium is held each Friday after play. At the Friday social, awards are presented for play that day. Please join us by bringing a BYOB and an appetizer to share that serves at least 8 adults. A fun time is held; please consider joining us.

Many members of the Couples Golf enjoyed participating and/or watching the Christmas Cart Parade that was held on December 5th. Entrants also included the Mesa Fire and Rescue Truck, and the Desert High School Marching Band who provided great music. The warm weather provided a pleasant time.

On December 13th, we participated in Christmas caroling. We stopped at various homes to sing carols to many of our shut-in and other families within the Village. We ended the evening with refreshments at Fat Willy’s.

December 14th saw us celebrating Christmas with a lovely dinner catered by Zappone’s Italian Bistro, followed by dancing to the music of the Good Times Band.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you the best Happy New Year.

SOFTBALL Al Ludwig

The first week of January in 2019 is not only the start of the new year but also the start of winter softball season at Sunland Village East! This year starts off with the addition of a new higher, nearly clear safety net protecting vehicles and pedestrians on Guadalupe Boulevard. Although the new net is an HOA asset, it was financed by both HOA and Softball Club funds. Also new this year are some exciting new resident softball players. Our season features a full slate of games each day of the week, with men’s softball each weekday morning starting at 8:00 am through mid-afternoon. The skill level of players runs from very competitive to recreational ball. The Softball Club welcomes all skill level players! Our ladies team plays on Mondays and Wednesdays in the afternoons. Specific game times for all teams are posted on the bulletin board located at the SVE ballfield.

If you enjoy watching exciting (and sometimes comical) softball, stop by to watch your neighbors compete against other resident parks. If you are no longer available to participate on a team but would like to be involved in the excitement of the game, the club would love to have you learn to run the scoreboard (it’s easy) or other field activities. See you at the games!

HOA governing documents provide guidance regarding limitations regarding home ownership in the HOA.

Reserve Study – Kim HardingThe HOA received the updated Reserve Study in

November, 2018. The study is completed by an independent firm under contract with the HOA. At the request of the BOD the following 3 areas were added to the reserve study for funding: interior enhancements of facilities, facility equipment and furniture, landscaping. The study is updated every 2 to 3 years and used by the HOA to set aside money for anticipated expenditures. Motion by Kim Harding asking the Board of Directors to accept this study and utilize this for review for the next two to three years for all of our reserve projects. Unanimous.

Culvert/Grates and Coyotes – Candace MasquelierThe study/recommendations from the Arizona Game and

Fish Department do not support grates in the community.

Motion by Diane Loram to not install grates on culverts as per the recommendation of Arizona Game and Fish and the studies we have completed to date. Unanimous.

Motion by Diane Loram to create a policy whereby the community will follow wild animal control guidelines as proposed by Arizona Game and Fish. The policy should determine a specific time frame that will be used as a trial period with the manager providing a summary of incidents involving wild animals within the community. After that time frame the Board will determine whether incidents have increased/decreased, and discuss any concerns. The Board will then reevaluate and propose a final policy regarding wildlife in the community. The trial period will last one year. Unanimous.

Group at the Maricopa County Extension Service. They affirmed that a grass dormancy rotation is beneficial with Bermuda grass. Mr. Thurn will continue his research as the Board explores this option for SVE.

Governing Documents Update – Candace MasquelierWork continues to prepare changes for a future ballot.

They are complicated issues; we want to be sure they are done correctly. We will leave this on the agenda for future discussion based on recommendations from legal counsel. It’s a challenging process. The BOD will not be presenting any recommendations for resident consideration at the next election.
