SPOTLIGHT ON
ACTIVITIES
DRAMA CLUB
In 2012 former high school Drama and
English teacher Vickie Briscoe started the
SVE Drama Club. The 14 or so actor hopefuls
meet in early December to discuss different
plays that Vickie has ordered. After reading
through several plays; and based on how
many characters are needed, the group votes
on their favorite, and a final decision is made.
This year’s production is “Killer Reviews”,
a suspenseful “who-done-it” mystery similar to
the Peter Sellers “Pink Panther” character as a
bumbling detective who tries to solve a murder.
Rehearsals started the first week in January
in the auditorium every Monday morning
from 10:00 to noon and Thursdays from
9:00 to noon. The auditorium is in use every
day, so each rehearsal requires the set up and
take down of the numerous props needed for
the production. It couldn’t be done without
the help of husbands who do the moving,
build sets and help wherever needed. And,
of course, there is the dedicated cast who
spent many hours memorizing lines…a
monumental feat at this age!
Photos shown are from last season’s
production, “The Great Nursing Home
Escape”. You will find “Killer Reviews”
just as fun and entertaining. It will be on
Wednesday, March 9 with two performances.
The first will be presented at 11:30 a.m. and
includes a box lunch from Subway. Cost
including lunch is $8.00 and tickets must
be purchased in the SVE office by March 4.
Tickets will be also be available in the office
or at the door for a 7:00 p.m. performance
only. Cost for that is only $4.00.
Please plan to come to the auditorium on
March 9 for either fun performance and try
to figure out who killed who!!

CHAPEL NOTES
Pastor Richard Koerselman
Most of us at one time or another have asked ourselves
big questions: what is God’s will for my life, my marriage,
my work, or the problem I’m facing. Sometimes the answer
is clear, but it doesn’t always come easy and that makes us
ready to try new ways to find what the will of the Almighty
might be. The story below illustrates how a Pastor’s well
intentioned suggestion went a direction he didn’t expect.
A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His
business was failing, he had put everything he had into the
business and he owed everybody. It was so bad, he was even
contemplating suicide. As a last resort, he went to a pastor
and poured out his story.
When he had finished, the pastor said, “Here’s what I want you
to do. Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car, drive down to
the water’s edge and sit down in the chair with the Bible in your
lap. Open the Bible, the wind will rifle the pages, but finally the
open Bible will come to rest on a page. Read the first thing you
PAY IT FORWARD
We all say it and
occasionally we can
do something about
it. Now was that time
for the Laguna Azul
Golf II community
to put it into practice.
Residents from the
community and the
Phoenix television
station, CBS TV 5
KPHO gathered to
recognize Harold Bosshart for over 20 years of Good Neighbor
service.
Each week TV 5 KPHO gives a viewer $500. That viewer
has 60 minutes to give the money to someone who deserves a
little boost in life. The viewer in this case was the Laguna Azul
community Harold lives in and unselfishly gives his time to.
Harold has been a fixture in this neighborhood as the
person to call for any number of projects small or large that
needs fixing. Many in the community are not able to solve
maintenance or upgrades on their own. Some are residents
who do not have the physical ability, some do not have the
time or skills needed, but all know Harold and his partner
Jerry Cartwright are willing to tackle the project. Other than
the cost of parts, Harold accepts no money for his work,
just a “Thank You”. A true “Good Neighbor”, Harold also
volunteers with many other activities in the Village.
Thank You Harold for your years of service, and your
willingness to make life better for your neighbors.
see. That will be your answer, it will tell you what to do.”
A year later, the businessman went back to the pastor with
his wife and children. He in a fancy new suit, his wife in a
mink coat and the children were shining. The businessman
pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket and
gave it to the pastor as a donation in thanks for his advice.
The pastor recognized the benefactor and was curious,
asking him if he had done as he suggested. Absolutely he
replied. I went to the beach, sat in the chair with the Bible in
my lap and let the pages rifle until they stopped. “And what
were the first words you saw?” the pastor asked. Chapter 11!
This story illustrates how careful we need to be when
helping people solve a problem, especially when they are
seeking God’s will. What if the Pastor had said, let’s talk
next week and see what ideas you’ve come up with before
you make a decision. Together, they may have found a much
more constructive solution to his problem.

2016 GENERAL
ELECTION REPORT
Betty Elm, Election Committee Chairman
Once again, the election cycle has been completed and we are
happy to report the election registers and contents of the ballot
box balanced perfectly to the number of signed ballot envelopes
received back. This was accomplished by nine dedicated
committee members who manned the Saguaro Room to receive
and record all in-person and mail-in ballots returned.
Our quorum was reached December 28, 2015 with a total of
22%, and ended with 48% by our deadline of January 19, 2016.
We had 40 ballot counters for candidates and 16 ballot counters
for the annual meeting change of date. The new date for our
next annual meeting passed with a 92.4% result (yes votes,
1,959) and (no votes, 161) making our next annual meeting the
third Thursday of March, 2017. The results proved the residents
wanted a change to make Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year’s more convenient to travel and be able to participate in the
many wonderful functions available.
We can’t forget the nine committee members who supervised
all stations during the election, four deputized monitors, two
observers, and six count tabulators. Everyone did an excellent
job and made it possible to again have an election procedure that
rivals the best in the public sector. Our Audit Process works!
We sincerely thank all those who worked so diligently to
make our elections and election procedures above reproach.
GOLF CONDO ONE
Charolette Ludwig
The days are longer, the nights are warmer and our
“Arizona Winter” is gone! Spring has sprung!
March is a busy one this year for us at Golf One Condo.
On Sunday, March 13th, we will be having our next condo
“social”. Again, we welcome our renters to participate
(did you buy a place on our street yet?)
It is time for our annual golf outing and covered
dish picnic! If you have not signed up, please see Pudge
Soderberg in Condo No. 72. He is the man in charge of the
last social of this season. This is such a fun event! Please
make your favorite dish and come to the picnic, even if
you aren’t golfing. The picnic is $2 and the golf is $3. If
you need a ride, please let me know (419-260-1353)…we
will get you there. It is so fun to see our neighbors sharing
more than just a wall between us.
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends by yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
We are all so blessed. Have a “Lucky” month!
ANNUAL BRIDGE

Forty-four players attended the annual bridge dinner
held in the Mesa Verde Room on Feb 6. Dottie Brill, Betty
Eggland, Vi Skinner, Betty Roberts, Doris Oliver, Janet
Manring and Kathryn Hart provided a wonderful meal and
evening for all of us. Hats off to them! They also gave
away 24 door and birthday prizes. Anyway good food,
good friends and for some players, good cards.

We look forward to another party next year.
THE GRANDKIDS
ARE COMING
It’s that time of year when the sound of children laughing
is heard around the village, and grandparents are kept
busy finding things to keep them entertained and happy.
Schools around the country give their students a break
from classes in March and April. After a brutal winter over
much of the country, Arizona looks pretty good and a visit
with Grandpa and Grandma sounds like the perfect thing
to do. This means our pools and other amenities will be
very busy in the next few weeks.
If you are lucky enough to have family visiting, you
need to reacquaint yourself with the rules regarding use
of pools and other facilities in SVE. Please read Rules
& Regulations on pages 4 and 5 of the 2016 Community
Directory.
We realize many of our residents will not be fortunate to
have spring break visitors, but we do ask you to be tolerant
of those who do. If your routine is to have a specific time
in the pool each day, please be patient and let the little
ones have their full allotted time in the water. Instead, sit
back and enjoy their enthusiasm and laughter. Let them
go home with a good memory of how friendly these “old
folks” in Arizona are.
The streets in SVE are public, so unless your guest has
a driver’s license or learners permit and an adult is with
them, it is illegal for them to drive your golf cart. Take
them for a ride, but resist their pleas to let them drive.
Enjoy your spring break visitors whether they are yours
or your neighbors. Their energy and enthusiasm is what
helps keep the rest of us young!

GARDEN CONDO III
The January party for Garden Condo III was attended
by 116 fun loving residents, who clearly demonstrated
their ability to have a good time. Everyone enjoyed the
excellent BBQ, cowboy beans and macaroni and cheese
catered by Joe’s of Gilbert. Klondike bars in a variety
of flavors proved to be popular for dessert. Thanks to
all the volunteers who made set up, serving and clean
up a breeze.
The dance floor was crowded for an electric slide
demonstration, as well as a variety of other songs sung
by Gene and Ole Mann of GMANN Entertainment. If
you closed your eyes while Gene was singing Louis
Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”, you would
have thought Satchmo himself was in the room.
Be sure to mark your calendars to watch for our next
party in November of 2016 and plan to attend. You
won’t want to miss it!! Dates will be shared as soon as
they become available.
For questions contact Co chairs Julie Hansen or
Teresa Esterly.
GARDEN CONDOS I & II
The winter season is coming to an end and some of you will be
heading to other locations. Safe travels and enjoy your summer
whether it be here in Arizona or another location.
Before you go, plan to attend our last Condo Social. It will
be a catered meal on Thursday, March 24th. Watch the boards
by the mailboxes for more information. Our Social Chair, Pat
Reed has done a fantastic job. The socials have been fun and
entertaining. She is creative in finding fun activities to work our
brains and meet our neighbors. Thanks Pat, you are a great asset
to our HOA.
Now some reminders. First of all, absolutely NOTHING is to
be mounted on your roof. This means NO satellite dishes. You
need an ACR form for any modification you do outside your
condo. Once you fill that out it is to be given to the HOA Vice
President for approval/disapproval prior to any work being done.
Another reminder is we now have recycle bins by the trash bins
on North Keats. PLEASE do not put plastic bags, Styrofoam,
plastic wrap, fast food containers, diapers, napkins, clothing or
tissues in these gray recycle bins. We have noticed a lot of plastic
bags. Please, please do not put these grocery bags or trash bags
in the recycle bins. If we continue to do this we will lose the bins.
Last reminder is we have a contract with Arizona’s Best to
treat termites in any unit. This is paid by your HOA dues and
all you need to do is call our management company, Heywood
Realty & Investment at 480-820-1519. They will arrange to have
your condo treated.
Our schedule for meetings are March 21st and April 18th at
10:00 am. March 21st will be the first meeting with the newly
elected people from our February election. Plan to attend. We
look forward to hearing from you about your concerns.
GOLF CONDO II
After much work by our BOD and residents the Master
Manual has been updated and completed. Great job by all
involved! Residents without e-mail received a printed copy.
A resident who wants a printed copy contact Cheryl Berg at
470-980-9270.
Author of our Stir-Fry newsletter, Dale Sorenson, has put
together a book of his caricatures. Dale is an imaginative
individual and can tell a story with just one picture or a series
of pictures. Steve Benson move over!
Jean Kinney and Bill Veach returned to their condo after
Jean’s cancer treatments in Colorado. As of this writing Jean
has started Clinical Trials which is a study about new cancer
drugs. Treatment here in AZ could just be the miracle for Jean
we’ve all hoped and prayed for.
Welcome to new neighbors in #272, Lawrence and Mary
Labine, from Argyle, MN.
Overview of our SVE Condo II website was on the February
18 annual meeting agenda. See details in the April Outlook.
Anyone looking for new hors d’oeuvre recipes, our February
16 party would have been the one to visit. Tables were filled
with favorites. In the future perhaps a recipe card placed beside
that favorite and a snap of your phone camera would preserve
the makings of the luscious dishes.
With another winter season waning, the list is growing
shorter for our upcoming activities:
Golf tournament is scheduled for March 5, 2016 with picnic
afterwards for all Condo II residents and renters whether you
golfed or not.
Farewell Dinner & 50’s – 60’s Theme Party. Bring back
memories of the bobby sox, poodle skirt and letter-sweater era.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Ed Malone
Great to see you all back and enjoying our delightful
weather. Our February 6th breakfast had the largest turnout so
far this year. We had 632 guests including a child compared
to 478 last month.
As I mentioned in our last article, we had a goodly
amount of supplies carried over to this month, thus helping
our bottom line this month. Our food expenses were down
and our income was up resulting in $2,131.75 for the SVE
General Fund.
I know that I sometimes sound like a broken record but,
our pancake crew is the BEST. They even managed to get me
working. My heartfelt THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!
Keep coming! Our next breakfast is March 5.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT – John Hewitt
The month of January was a slow time after the hectic
elections and holidays. A couple of weeks were taken for rest,
family time and catching up on personal things. Several of us
really needed it…now it’s time to get down to serious work.
There are requests from clubs and individuals coming in that
they would like the Board to consider. We will consider all
requests. PLEASE, when you decide to request something,
we, as a Board, prioritize these in order of number one, what
is best for the majority of the members of the community,
number two club requests and number three, individual
requests. When you think of requesting something, please
consider those priorities. We all know, however, much as
we would like to okay every request, it cannot be done. We
cannot satisfy everyone and do our job right. Either way
we go on our decisions, there are usually satisfied residents
and some that are not satisfied. Which ever way it goes, this
Board promises to evaluate each item and make what we feel
is the best decision for our community.

SUNSATIONALS
The end of January and into February
were cold months for the valley, but not
inside where the Sunsationals were
tapping their hearts out. They were
learning new steps, new routines,
and preparing for the wonderful
entertainment that’s sure to
please come 2017 Show time!
The Sunsationals did take
time out for social interaction
and visiting, though.
The end
of January found them riding the
Light Rail to Phoenix and dining
(or lunching) at The Old Spaghetti
Factory. They decided that riding
the Light Rail is entertaining in and of
itself. The people riding the Rail probably thought the same
thing about them. It was a whole lot of fun.
The Sunsationals hope your previous month was full of
Valentine love joy. They also hope that Spring comes in as
beautiful as it always does.
Wisconsin Pizza Party
On Saturday, March 19, we are having a pizza party for

Change
Starting March 1, the time of play will start at 10:00 a.m.,
ending at 11:30 a.m. in the small card room across from the
office (same place as before, just a later time). Please join this
friendly group on Tuesday mornings. Individual scores are
not kept, no dues are charged, and players are encouraged to
play with different people each week.
Rummikub rules are easy to learn; however, the
development of skill evolves with time and practice which
keeps devotees coming back as often as possible.

“Serving the Children of the World”. Since we are located
in the Gilbert School District, we serve five Title One
grammar schools in our area by assembling 500 back packs
at the beginning of each school year. Also, each month we
reward a “Student of the Month” in each school with a prize.
For grades 1-3 we give a bike, helmet and lock, and 4-6
grade students receive an electronic tablet. In addition, at
Thanksgiving and Christmas, we give meal gift cards for
needy families who are identified by the school staff.
We are asking you to join us by bringing your enthusiasm
and new ideas to our Kiwanis group in our endeavors to
encourage these future leaders. I can be reached at (480)
686-0771, or just come to the IHOP restaurant on Power
Road just south of Baseline at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday
mornings. Hope to see you there!

SVE FHE
(Family Home Evening Group)
Darlene Dalley
The Family Home Evening Group meets the second
Monday of every month in the Mesa Verde Room at 6:00
pm. In March we will meet on Monday the 14th. We have a
pot luck dinner followed by a wide variety of programs. Our
pot luck dinners are always delicious and more than plenty
of food. Those attending are asked to bring a dish of their
choosing that serves about 10 - 12 people. We furnish all
table service items and water to drink for the meal.
Our entertainment for March will be very unusual. We
have a young lady, Stephanie Meintzer, coming to tell us
about her Christmas time trip to Norway to see all the many
attractions there including the Northern Lights. But most
interesting of all, the events of the trip was her stay in an”
ice hotel.” Yes, literally a hotel built out of ice in which
people can stay. Sounds ever so cozy, doesn’t it? Be sure to
wear your warmest “jammies” that night regardless of what
the outside temperature may be. All are welcome! However,
please call Darlene Dalley at 480-986-6985 to advise us if
you plan to attend so that we can have an accurate count for
the table space we will need.

Lapidary and
Silversmith Club
Sharleen Harvey
WE’LL BE SERVING SLOPPY JOES AT THE ARTS
AND CRAFTS FAIR! Plan to have lunch while you shop at
the fair on Saturday, March 19th. The Lapidary/Silversmith
Club serves as the “food vendor” at the November and March
fairs; earning funds to support the club.
Proceeds from this activity have purchased two new
trim saws this year, one with a 6” blade and the other a 10”
blade. This equipment upgrades the old saws and performs
professional cutting of gem rocks for use in jewelry and
other decorative specimens. Rough stones are available to
members to cut and polish in the club workshop.
On February 25th the club held a potluck dinner in the
Mesa Verde Room. Members enjoyed fellowship and the
sharing of their favorite potluck dishes.
Membership is open to all SVE residents. If you need help
in developing these crafts, members will assist you to learn
both lapidary work and silversmithing skills. The workshop
is open 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Monday through Friday.
CRISSY
L. Paulsen
Crissy is a rescue dog. She is a Shih Tzu and has lived her
seven years in a puppy mill. She was no longer of value to
the breeder when her last two pups were born dead. Laura
Paulsen was looking for an older dog, preferably a Shih
Tzu, when this dog was written up on the internet. Laura
contacted the woman who had picked her up from the mill,
and the rest is history.
Laura’s Lhasa Apso, Cody, had to be put to sleep on June
12 due to cancer. Crissy joined Laura on July 19. Laura says:
“It has taken time for Crissy to trust me and to realize she is
in her forever home. I didn’t know how we would get along,
but it has turned out to be a good match for both of us.”
There are so many dogs needing a loving home. If you are
interested in a certain breed, just go on the internet and ask for
adoptions for that breed. Many are in foster homes and are being
taken care of, but would love to have their own home.
The Dog Club serves many purposes. We meet the third
Saturday of every month except during the summer. Every
other month, we have get-togethers with the dogs, going on a
walk to the grassy area behind the auditorium, or going to the
park on Hawes, or Christmas costume fun. On the alternate
months, we meet for discussions. We are so helpful to each
other with suggestions and concerns for our dogs. We have
coffee and cookies while we discuss new ideas.
All dog lovers are welcome. Our next meeting will be
March 12 in the Mesa Verde room, gathering at 9:30 and
discussions at 10 a.m.
Charlaine Harris is an amazing author. Her writings
always involve a mystery. The majority of her writings have
evolved into a series.To date she is the author six series.
The best known series is probably the Aurora Teagarden
Mysteries. Two of these mysteries have been made into
Hallmark Channel movies. A compilation of the Sookie
Stackhouse vampire stories made it to HBO in an episode of
“True Blood.” Enough of the media extensions of a mystery
novelist.
The Shakespeare series contains five titles. SVE library
has book numbers 3, 4, and 5. They are located on the
shelves with the other book titles in series. These stories
occur in Shakespeare, Arkansas. You will not be able to
locate Shakespeare on a map; but you will identify Arkansas
from the author’s writing style. Lily Bard is the heroine and
the proprietor of her own cleaning service. From here her
adventures begin. It would not be fair to reveal too much of
the plot or even hint at the ending.
Snookie Stackhouse is a totally different character from
Lily Bard. Snookie teaches us of the paranormal, vampires,
and werewolves. She does not give us textbook learning; but
rather the information is dispensed through the characters and
their actions. And always in the modern setting. Charlaine
Harris, through Snnokie Stackhouse is very easy to read and
learn from.

February is always a busy month in SVE with all the
clubs and residents in full “swing”. Couples Golf is no
exception! A Super Bowl Pizza Party was held on February
5 at the regular Friday Social with members enjoying shared
appetizers and pizza.
Our Golf Competition Directors, Gary Mack and Larry
Ash announced the winners of our Super Bowl Board at
the Feb. 12 meeting. February 12 was also the Valentine’s
Dinner and Dance. It was catered by Ed’s Catering followed
by a dance to the music of The Chauffer’s. Thank you to
Sandy Ash and her committee for the great party with festive
red and white Valentine’s décor.
We welcome our new members, Gary and Myrna Church.
Be sure to introduce yourself and say hello if you see them
on the links or at social.
Mark your calendars for the Couples Golf Competition
that started February 26 and will continue on Friday March
4. The Annual Awards Night and Banquet will be held on
March 11 during the regular Friday night social. At this event
our most talented couples’ golfers during the competition
will be announced. A putting contest will also be held and
our most talented lady and man putters will receive a prize!
Golf socials are held every Friday at 5:00 pm in the
auditorium. All 290+ members are invited, so in on those
name tags, fix up some snacks, pour those drinks and come
on over!
SVE LADIES GOLF
GayLynn Brewer, Secretary
The SVE Ladies Golf League welcomed two new
members, Lynn Allardyce and Mary Ann Roers.
Last month’s special events began on February 3rd with
the 9 hole invitational tournament. In spite of a frost delay,
it was a very successful event that was enjoyed by the
ladies from SVE as well as our guest from other clubs.
The winning team was Shirley Schwarz and Linda Gerken
from SVE and guests, Vicki Mendenhall and Marcy
Raskob.
On February 23rd and 25th the SVE ladies played in a
Home & Home with Sunbird. Those winners will be
announced next month. Near the end of this month, the
29th and 31st, SVE will be playing another Home & Home
this time with Sunland Village.
The Handicap and Championship for 2016 were also
held during February. Those winners will be recognized on
March 23rd during the Ladies Spring Award’s Luncheon.
The event will be held in the auditorium with the doors
opening at 11:30.
As most of the winter events wind down for another
year, we will continue our 9 and 18 hole scrambles and
social time into April. Hope to see you there.
Volleyball News

FITNESS CLUB
Gary Chestek
The SVE community is in full swing with the winter
visitors back and enjoying all the club activities, including
the Fitness Centers. Both facilities had their quarterly
maintenance inspections completed February 5th. During
our annual meeting on January 25th, items discussed
included new officers for 2016:
President———————Paul Christoffers
Vice President—————Paul Herman
Treasurer———————Judy Olson
Secretary/Equipment—— Gary Chestek
A new TV will be ordered for the 2nd Octane elliptical
machine per resident request. The octanes are one of our
more popular pieces of equipment supporting the back
while working the cardiovascular system. Because of the
popularity of the octanes and other aerobic machines,
we ask that you adhere to the 30 minute time limit out of
respect for others waiting to use them.
Other aerobic machines added this year, included the
two new AMT’s (Adaptive Motion Trainers) in the South
Center. They have been very well received. This allowed
the Fitness Club to place to newer elliptical machines in
the North Center, replacing outdated equipment.
Our stretch bands in the aerobic area will be updated.
The new style braided variety are more durable and have
larger hand grips.

Tennis Talk
Diana Roskuski
With seasonal League play ending on March 4, Tennis Club
members are gearing up for our big fundraising tournament
of the year. SVE hosts 16 communities for the men’s and
women’s doubles Championships for the East Valley Senior
Tennis League, from March 7-12. There will be extra activity
around the courts, with 384 players at 6 levels competing
for medals and prizes, plus hundreds of spectators cheering
them on!
We truly appreciate your courtesy towards these guests in
our park. Many of our current Club members have moved
to SVE after being exposed to our wonderful facilities and
friendly residents during tournament play.
Admission is free, and residents are invited to watch some
great tennis. Breakfast and lunch items will be available for
sale. Featured “meal deals” from the kitchen and grill areas
include walking tacos, Beeler’s brats, chicken breasts, 1/3 lb.
hamburgers, and more!
Money earned from the Championships is directly
reinvested in maintaining our equipment and facilities.
It is important for members to attend the March 3rd general
meeting, with election of officers for the 2016/17 season.
Recent Club activities have included a Canadian/American
challenge, Crock Pot Soup Night, Invitational with Valle
del Oro, Valentine Dinner/Dance, an 80+ age players vs.
beginners, and our annual pie auction for Multiple Sclerosis.
Players at all skill levels are invited to participate in
round robin play on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Players
change partners and courts every 30 minutes, and it is a great
opportunity to get better acquainted with players at other
levels.
Whether you are new to SVE, or just interested in fun,
fitness and friendship, come up to the courts and talk to one
of our friendly players. Free lessons are offered for both
beginners and experienced players, with many players at
every skill level. Loaner racquets are available.
