4 Yarn Hookers The winner of the "Mother's Day" afghan rafne was Mariann Greiner fiom Blue Jay community and her name was drawn on Thursday April lorn. Congratulations! This is just a special note to all the snowbirds and local residents, (We will be looking for donated crochet or knitted items for the Fall Bazaar in November.) Please contact if you have any items for pickup. Because of the written article about our donated afghan to East Pasco Habitat Community in Dade City, we received a donation of yam from a resident in Blue Jay and then another person fiom Blanton, F1 ask if she could join our group on Thursday evenings which now she is a regular. If anyone would like to crochet or knit any baby hats, blankets or booties, I found out that the Dade City hospital are in need of these items for some of the newborns. I was told that a lot of new mothers do not bring these items with them so before a baby is released they dress the baby with a hat and blanket. I have a contact name if anyone would like it. I was also told that Hospice on Clinton Ave. is in need of lap blankets and shawls for the residents. So if anyone has any questions please give Phyllis Grossi a call at Our group meets on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm at the club house. Come join us for a relaxing evening

Even here at Southfork, a few have already packed up and left. It's starting to get warmer and the pool is getting more use. The water is perfect. May also includes Mother's Day on May 11" and Memorial Day on May 26". Most of us here have lost our mothers but they will be in our hearts forever. A world of thanks - a world of love - is what mothers are so desewing of. Congratulations o out to Georgia and Don Duarte on E celebrating their 50 wedding anniversary recently. Also to Bella and Me1 Kinney for their 25". They celebrated their anniversary at the Clubhouse on Bingo night. Bella came in with a bridal veil, wreaths on her head, and Me1 came with a sun visor that said "25 years'' on it. Memorial Day ends out the month of May, a special day to remember all branches of the service who have protected our great country. There are many men right here at Southfork who have sewed our country and many of us have family and friends who are sewing now. A special prayer to all of them. Don't forget to hang your flag out. "A Tale of Two Toilets'' (no pun intended) Two toilets set out at the curb got the best of Sam Tirrato

6 (maybe it tickled his funny bone). Anyway, he called Pat Grossi to grab a camera. They thought they'd sit on the toilets and have their picture taken for the newsletter. By the time Pat got up there, Andy had already taken one away and was loading the other one on the golf cart. Just picturing that can give you a good laugh. Are you a golfer? A recent study found the average American golfer walks 900 miles a year. Another study found American golfers drink an average of 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, American golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon!! Well, it's time to close this out until next month which will be the last newsletter until September. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to anyone who is celebrating this month. Netta From Norm's Desk Well, the time has come to once again bid goodby& our snowbirds. We are surely blessed by their presence during The winter months. We have been once again having a problem with some people flushing cloth or cloth-like wipes, under garments and cleaning supplies down the toilets. PLEASE! Remind any guests or visitors that we are on a sewage disposal system that incorporates pumpdo pump waste through. The sewage plant... these pumps are very expensive and the cost of maintenance is very high. DO NOT FLUSH ANY ITEM OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER DOWN YOUR TOILETS, NOT EVEN TOILET WIPES OR CLEANERS. Also, I am having a problem with people parking on the grass. Please re-read rule #3 where it clearly states "No parking on lawns." Thanks you for your attention to these infractions. Please do not waste water and abide by the Pasco County watering schedule for lawns. Norm
