Lake Region Coffee News – July 14, 2022
Roger Wilcox was the MC today
Attendance – 62
Kim Eickelschulte, New Residents: There were no new residents for Kim to introduce this morning
Visitors: Russ Isham, Hawkeye, introduced their son, Steve, and their grandchildren, Joey, Abby and Ellen. Also, Susan Yaeger, Prairie, introduced her granddaughter, Lucia, from Tennessee.
Shari Haines, Serendipity: Today we can thank Donna Grace for our donuts and muffins in celebration of her birthday on June 27th. And when someone pays for the pastries, the Social Club provides the coffee and tea.
Former resident, Sandra Galyan, is hospitalized at Centennial Hospital in Nashville, TN. She has a brain bleed. They have a surgeon there who will be doing the surgery procedure on Sandra. Please keep Sandra in your thoughts and prayers.
Bruce and I will be in Illinois for the next two Thursdays. In fact, if the airline is on time next Thursday we will be landing in Bloomington before Coffee starts. It will be a real family vacation – both sons and daughters in laws; our five grandchildren and their spouses or significant others and of course, Peyton, our great grandson. I feel like it is a miracle at this time that we can get all of them in one place for 4 days to spend with the old folks. While I am gone Barb Norsen has graciously agreed to pitch hit for me here at Coffee. Your email next week may be a little late as I don’t know how the WIFI will be at the lake house and it may have to wait until Monday when we get back to our son’s house in Batavia.

Jerry Sammon, VP Board of Directors: First, after the Informational BOD meeting/Town Hall Meeting we had been requested to let the resident who mow their own lawn be allow to start their mowing at 7:30 am (this is for residents only not outside mowers). This will be effective immediately. The other thing in our efforts to clean up this Park we have been talking about doing a census to find out which homes that are not occupied or haven’t been occupied in the last year. So, they can be check and “up to stuff”.
