We’ve started a Facebook group page called THE GROWL…Desert Dogs Speak. New members are welcome to join us. If you have questions or suggestions, contact Peggy Price at peggyprice45@gmail.com or #520-405-4319. VOYAGER COMPASS 12 A NOTE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everybody had a great Holiday Season with family and friends. I’m looking forward to this coming season and the year 2016 in general. All signs are pointing toward another very successful season. The uptick in business can be attributed to a lot of positive things that continue to happen at Voyager, but the bottom line still remains - the best marketing is word of mouth!! Thank you to all who have been so positive in your comments, not only to me, but to your friends and families that are coming to Voyager for the first time, or who are returning after an extended absence. I also thank all of you for your positive and complimentary comments regarding the changes and improvements we have made around the property. I can honestly say that I have received 99% positive comments, which is absolutely wonderful. Please share these comments with your friends as they are deciding where to spend this coming winter. We still have our RV and Home Sales Referral commissions programs in effect. For every RVer that you refer for stays of 30 days or longer, we will pay you $50. For every new home sale that you refer, we’ll pay you $2000 !! A full resort benefits everybody and sure helps property values…and a little pocket cash never hurt anyone either!! Be sure to check out the new, larger homes that we brought in this summer on 7th Street. They provide a new price point and will hopefully be a popular alternative to Park Models in the Voyager community. Referrals count on these houses as well. Finally, I see a lot more motorcycles coming in this season, and I need to plan our January ride. I hear that some would like shorter rides as well. Shoot me an email at voyagerrvresort_mgr@equitylifestyle.com If you have a specific ride to recommend. I’m looking at Friday rides this year to minimize the traffic we encounter. Regards, Rick JANUARY 2016 NOTICES Google Group PICKLEBALL BYOB INSURANCE Having a party?

Christmas isn’t over yet. I know that most of you have already put away the decorations and written some thank you notes. However, Christmas season really ends on January 6 – also known as Epiphany. Tradition says that Epiphany marks the arrival of the Wise Men who brought their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and January 6 is the time when we can count all the pipers piping down to that solitary partridge in a pear tree that started that silly song. One more thing; January 6 is the day, in some parts of the world, where children go to bed and wait for the Gift Giver to come instead of Santa Claus. So, we get six days of Christmas to start off the New Year. There is more! We can celebrate the New Year with the knowledge that Christmas means the birth of Jesus, whose very name means Immanuel, God with us! We can know that the season of blessing that God intends for us extends throughout the whole of our lives, despite the difficulties we might have. We can come to worship knowing we have a family in Christ that cares for us and we for them. We know that people are praying for us, and studying alongside us. We know that our family can come around us in times of sorrow and grief, and that same family is there to encourage and inspire us - all in the name of Christ. Johnny Mathis has a song on one of his Christmas albums that says: “May I suggest the meaning of Christmas is not the things we do at Christmas, but the Christmas things we do all year through.” That is what we need to hear in this new year, isn’t it? In this busy and sometimes difficult world, isn’t it good to remember that God loves us enough to send His son to live among us, and that God’s spirit is with us each and every day? That is the Good News that we celebrate each Sunday at Chapel. Join us. Ray W.

Items are put in backpacks and delivered by Rotarians to 3 elementary schools in the Vail School District in which Voyager is located. The program provides easy-to-prepare meals for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners each weekend. For the 4th year Cienega Rotary is asking Voyager residents to donate individual easy open servings of: instant oatmeal, pop tarts, fruit and pudding cups, cup of soup, raisins, snack bars, 100% juice boxes, chocolate milk boxes, small and large cans of pasta, etc. through April 25. Donations can be delivered to Bay #47 carport across from the playground (Seafarer Street) into the drop box. The past 3 years Voyager Residents have contributed over 30% of the food required for this project!! Any questions contact Mark at 574-5826. Community Cares Are you living alone, ill, injured, or fragile and would appreciate a FREE daily check for health and safety? If the answer is yes, the Community Cares Program can meet that need. Participants are given a set of cards illustrating days of the week. It will be your responsibility to be certain the correct day is displayed in your window before 10 each morning. Volunteers will check each day. If correct, they will continue on their way. If not, you will receive a knock on your door, a phone call, or other instructions to confirm your health or safety is not in danger.

What little known facts make each individual 's life unique? Like a pie, until you break through the crust, the filling inside remains a mystery. This past year my husband Tony and I moved to a 55 + community housing 254 units. There is a community building, a single structure nearby for the many mailboxes, an indoor pool, a tennis court and green common areas. Most contact with residents consists of a nod as a neighbor strolls by taking the dog for a walk, a wave as a car passes with a group leaving the area, or an occasional chat while attending the monthly community meeting. Superficial conversation occurs at a bazaar or while helping with a community baked potato dinner.....isolated contacts with relatively unknown people. Where did these people live before deciding to reside at Leisure Estates? What profession occupied hundreds of hours of each life before retiring? Similarly, at Voyager, people from throughout the U.S. and Canada seek the sunshine, the camaraderie and activities afforded the residents BUT, who are these people? Their history seldom surfaces. The answers, while varied, might prove fascinating and amazing. Once the external facade is gently cracked, the information might easily provide the basis for a first rate novel. Bits and pieces of their past surfaces and we discover intriguing depth and substance that formed each individual's path. Let me illustrate by introducing you to Valdo Valdimirov. Who would have suspected that this quiet unassuming man's life contains a myriad of surprises? Born in Bulgaria, he served in the Bulgarian Army. After being discharged from the service, he and his brother joined the Bulgarian Circus which eventually led to performing six years with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Baily circus. Traveling and entertaining throughout the world adds unbelievable adventures that would captive a young reader's heart. This man developed a passion for card tricks and magic. In 1970 he created a unique card trick known as “The Switch”. In 1989, while watching David Copperfield on TV, he saw HIS trick performed! In 2000, author John Lovik wrote a book entitled The Switch and gave Vlado Vladimirov credit as the creator. Recently while browsing a magic shop in Seattle, Vlado discovered his trick being sold. Eventually this man of many talents and a plethora of adventures closed those chapters of his life book and settled with his wife Betty in the Puget Sound area. He long since retired from the magical world and has become just "another neighbor". Each human has his or her own story, most likely untold. Fading into retirement, we become just another person on the block. How exciting it might prove were we to dig deeper into the past years of our neighbors and discover what intriguing stories and exciting moments might be waiting there to be discovered! Midge Lopez calls Washington State home. While at Voyager she tutors at Mesquite Elementary, volunteers at the Salvation Army Toy Drive and is a member of Panhellenic Plus Friends. The Voyager Authors’ Page features poems and stories written by members of the Voyager Writers’ Workshop. VOYAGER COMPASS 20 JANUARY 2016 VOYAGER AUTHORS’ PAGE WHAT I KNOW ABOUT CURSIVE WRITING by Gretchen S. Cutts Like horseback riding and gardening, cursive writing is being overtaken by new ways to accomplish our tasks of daily living. The cursive that was necessary in the pat now becomes a hobby when it exists at all. When I began kindergarten in 1940, cursive was the only way to write; we needed to “write right.” That meant perfectly rounded Os, Ds and Cs, each letter exactly on the line, touching it but never into it. “Little” (lower case) letters were exactly half the height of “big” (capital or upper case) letters, and “dangling” letters dangled below the line exactly the height of little letters. And so on; there were many rules. Over the decades, the rules were first eased, then forgotten. My handwriting became less easy to read, but the basic rules still show through. Today, my oldest grandchild, 17, having received a lesson or two in cursive during her early schooling, can sort of read and write it, while her younger siblings have not a clue about cursive’s rich and recent history, let alone about how to read or write it. Instead, they ‘text’ on hand-held electronic devices with small back-lit screens. To write, they mostly use their thumbs on tiny keyboards. Instead of spelling, they type in shorthand vaguely reminiscent of the phonics we used while learning to read and write. To communicate, they must of know the shorthand their friends use. There is no time in school for learning how to read or write in cursive. Cursive has meant much to me. It grew from something I learned at school to my being able to read the handwritten notes pouring into our home every Christmas from my mother’s distant correspondents. I loved reading those notes; it was getting peeks into my parents’ lives in ways that were otherwise unavailable to me. Later, I entered school essay contests with carefully hand-written pages using blue ink to make my papers stand out from other contestants’ entries. While in college, I missed my friends during holiday and summer breaks, and we wrote long, sometimes daily, letters. Most of my lifelong correspondents came from this era and cursive played an important role in keeping those friendships. I kept some old love letters until recently and it was amazing to re-read them before tossing them. Today I exchange handwritten letters with only two others. The rest of my earlier correspondents have moved, died or turned to e-mail. One has Alzheimer’s and can no longer write. I still write a long letter to her in cursive on her birthday, however; her husband reads it to her and says she enjoys it, even though she has no idea who it’s from. The benefits of cursive, in addition to signing checks, still include chatting with a friend over a cup of coffee, paper and pen in hand as I write a long letter in cursive. Hand writing my letter slows down my thinking, lets me share more deeply, enjoy more thoroughly, and prevents me from making hasty mistakes. Without cursive, I would have to change my lifestyle in ways that I’m not willing to. I’ll leave a dozen or so completed journals to my heirs, all written in cursive over about seven decades. Assuming they might want to, who will be able to read them? Gretchen has authored two books and many magazine and newspaper articles; many of her articles have been illustrated with her own photographs. She is currently working on publishing a collection of her own stories. She and husband Bill live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and have enjoyed Voyager during the winter for more than ten years.

You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” Unknown Volunteers are the heart of our Voyager Community. Imagine Voyager without: Mail sorting and Saturday Parcel Pick-up Room set-up for events Compass Printing and Collating Compass and Compass Points Distribution to the Cove & the Bay Wednesday Night Show Ushers Holiday Decorations in the Ballroom and the Catalina Room Saturday Coffee, Market Daze Lunches, Mary’s Spaghetti Dinners or Dinner Shows Stained Glass, Glass Fusion, Ceramics, Silver, Woodshop, or Lapidary Shop supervision The Computer Resource Center Chapel and Summer Chapel The Library Dances and Lectures Health Clinic Assistants and Activity Office volunteers Arts & Crafts, Games & Cards, Dance & Exercise, Music, Sports, and Special Interest Coordinators Sound and broadcasting crew at events Community Cares, Neighbor to Neighbor, or Cove Cares/Voyager Sunshine/Bay Bouquets Support for Salvation Army, Pio Decimo, Community Food Bank, Shoe Drive, Food in a Backpack, or Blood Drives ALL of these events, activities, and services (and SO much more!) that make Voyager an award-winning resort are staffed by unpaid volunteers. The next time you partake of an activity or event at Voyager, consider how many Voyager residents helped make it happen – with no recompense other than the satisfaction of helping make Voyager a better community for us all. Consider thanking volunteers when you see them doing their “community service”. You probably participate in at least one Voyager activity. You may sing, craft, dance, learn, listen, enjoy, read, or play. Why not become a REAL part of your Voyager Community, and volunteer your time to an activity or a project you enjoy. You’ll find – as all volunteers do – that giving is a great feeling. ...and if you’re already one of the many current volunteers at Voyager, THANK YOU! How to volunteer? Ask the coordinator of an activity or the supervisor of a craft shop you’re currently involved in Sign up for table and chair set-up or other volunteer opportunities on the Activity Board Share your time and expertise by offering to teach or lead a new activity Follow up on requests for volunteers in the Compass and Compass Points Inquire about volunteer positions at the Health Clinic, Computer Resource Center, or the Activity Office VOYAGER COMPASS 33 JANUARY 2016 6 1 0 2 y r a u at Jan SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 1 2 Happy New Year!
