From the Bridge:This is the time for peak trafic on the bridge both boats and automobiles. The United States Coast Guard regulates when the bridge should be opened for boat traffic. If you need to be at a cer-tain place at a certain time -- leave early so you will not be caught on the bridge. Try not to leave on the hour as that is the time the bridge is open for pleasure boats during the week day hours. The bridge monitors Channel 12 on the Marine Radio and also can be called direct at 956-943-1622.

Thank you for your patience.L.I.O.A. Bridge Board

BANK BALANCE $3201.42 In January a contractor was banned from the park for stealing our cans. This summer we hada stealing problem at all the dumpster areas and had to take all the barrels in for about 3 weeks which hurt our Library revenue. Before depositing your cans in the barrels, please open the bag.This would help us when we take the cans to the recycling center. Don’t forget we have MedicalEquipment and some loan items.

2013 DIRECTORIESOnly 250 were ordered this year. Buy a new one early! Remember owners are dropping their land-line phones and you won’t know their cell phone number. This is also our biggest money maker for the Library. Movies and books are expensive soplease support us.

D&E I really really really don’t like the March newsletter - - -It means we’re at the very bottom of our Events Schedule. It means I’m running out of fun things to tell you about. It means we’re going to be saying “goodbyes” before too long. Nope, not going to go there. Not yet. We still have a fun month ahead of us, so I sure hope all of you will take full advantage of every last min-ute! As I’m sure you all know, our Annual Meeting is March 2nd at 1 p.m. I KNOW you will all be there. What you might not know is that we’re going to have a Spring Fling Snack Dance with the Good Times Band afterwards. (7 - 10 p.m.) This idea came from some of the Valley owners. They thought it would be fun to be able to socialize with all of you while they were in for the meeting. Then on Monday, March 4th, join your friends at another Leslie Cocktail Party (4 - 6 p.m.). You know the drill on this one - SaaaaaaLUTE! I hope you have been gathering your “stuff” together for the Luau Dinner Dance with FasciNa-tion on Saturday, March 9th (6 - 10 p.m.) This dance is so much fun because you people are so darn creative. That’s why we are giving best table decoration prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. There will also be a “People’s Choice” award. You’re even MORE inspired now, right? Thought so. (Good excuse to go to Pro-gresso or Elizabeth Street - just saying.)Monday, March 18th you will want to come for your last “Leslie Fix” of the season (4 - 6 p.m.) Well, I guess that about wraps it up for this month. Don’t forget to check in at the Activity Center now and then in case there are any changes. Till next month,Pat Diebold, Winter Texan D & E Committee

Remembering Darryl Goade The Golfing Community along with friends & neighbors celebrated the life of their good friend & fellow golfer, Darryl Goade, Thursday evening Feb. 7th at the LIV Pro Shop with good food, fellowship, & live music. Darryl passed away Monday Feb. 4th, 2013 with his wife Annie & daughters Cass & Courtney by his side. He was a man that knew what he wanted out of life & never hesitated to go after it. He was the inspiration behind the new golf cart paths on our LIV Golf Course. Darryl will long be remembered as the fun loving Mayor of “Skid Row” who enjoyed golfing, playing the harmonica and singing silly love songs to his Annie.

EUCHRE We are enjoying so many of you, our winter friends, at Euchre. The traditional January soup supper was held January 15th. Many thanks to the super soupers and everyone for contribut-ing the great dishes enjoyed by all. Those ham bones left from our Christmas dinner provided the great soups made by: Joan Korson, Virginia Parkinson, Carol Werner, and Larry Wright. Larry Roelandt, by popular demand, willingly made his famous potato soup. Thank you to each of you. High scores for the month of January were:January 3 Phyllis Hackman 81January 8 Patti Roelandt 80January 10 Myrle Minor 76January 15 Don Minor 89January 17 Myrna Wright 82January 22 Sue McLaughlin 94January 24 Stan Sluiter & Dave Fuselier 86January 29 Avis Collins 90January 31 Ione Holeman 91 Shirley Ritten

SAND DOLLAR QUILTERSIf you haven’t had an opportunity to stop by and see the many projects the ladies have been working on you have truly missed some beautiful handmade treasurers. Our quilters are so talented but always have the time to show others who are just learning the art of quilting. Many of these projects will be on display February 16th during our quilt show. Our Pajama Night was a huge success. The ladies were able to make over 75 pillowcases, numerous fleece blankets, and quilts that we are donating to Sunny Glen Children’s Home in San Benito. Sunny Glen was established in 1936 and serves neglected and abused children ages infant to 18 years of age .in our community. We invite you to come and join us on Fridays in the Arts and Craft room.
