The was presented to Marisa Lufkin, GL Homes Project Manager/VP. GL Homes took financial responsibility for the project and worked with the club to erect their first-ever memorial park. The day started with Ron Gallops “flying thru” the streets of VL with his street-legal miniature fighter jet. Residents were pre-warned of the event so no one had any heart issues seeing it blast down the otherwise quiet streets. Mrs. Lufkin bestowed ownership of the memorial park to the VLMVC, Inc., which was gratefully accepted by President Fazio. Next the Color Guard presented and posted the colors along with club membership and residents raising the five service flags with the American flag and POW/MIA.

He asked those in attendance who commanded or lost comrades in battle to stand and be recognized adding another moving moment to our fallen heroes. The remainder of the day was spent enjoying hot dogs and hamburgers while watching a softball game at the new second recreation area.

CASINO NIGHT CLUB SPOTLIGHT ELMIRA’S WILDLIFE SANCTUARY The Valencia Lakes Friends of Elmira’s Wildlife Sanctuary (VL FEWS), a new club started in April, has been BEARy busy. Diamond Bay Drive resident Patrick Gordon, founder of the club and Denise Padgett, president of VL FEWS and long time volunteer at the sanctuary introduced the Club with a presentation to members of The Women’s Club and offered members a special tour of the sanctuary. On a hot Friday, over 50 women from The Women’s Club took the short drive to the sanctuary. That tour was a howling success and produced volunteers and a major donation for the Sanctuary. Then, the FEWS team decided to quickly introduce the Club to the rest of the community. The Valencia Lakes Community was invited to its own tour of Elmira’s in May. Thank you all for attending and your donations! Anyone interested in learning more about the club, donating or volunteering, please contact: Denise Padgett (813) 260-3983 or Patrick Gordon (813) 419-4749. 2013 GRADUATES OF INTRODUCTION TO CLAY This May, nine residents attended a four session Introduction to Hand Building in Clay, sponsored by the Clay Club. Most participants had never worked in clay before but learned quickly and produced masterpieces. Welcoming everyone on the first day were pieces of rolled clay. From there students decided what to make out the piece of clay. Options included a fish tile, a platter, or a candle luminary. It took several minutes for creativity to find its way to the surface, but once out the fun began. No two pieces came out alike, although everyone used the same templates for the items. The group had a laugh when they realized all the fish were swimming in the same direction. The fun and success of this session has the Clay Club considering offering the class in the fall. Front—Michelle Ciechna, Jeanne Laffer, Joyce Gordon (Instructor). Rear—Rose Fretoloso, Merle Berg, Louise Joly, Cathy Foss, Denise Stickney, Robert Berg. Camera Shy—Fran Daigle and instructors Rick Wilds, Mary Davis, and Joyce Nelson. VALENCIA LAKES WOMEN’S CLUB VALENCIA LAKES WEST GARDEN CLUB The Women’s Club has been busy this quarter with successful fund raising events. On May 1, the quilters went to Shriner’s Children’s Hospital and donated 20 pounds of soda can tabs for their recycling program and 100 pillow cases for the many children that are in need of their services. On May 8, the quilters went to the VA hospital and donated 25 lap quilts to veterans in their spinal column unit. The Cooks Monday Out has also been quite successful.

On May 18, at the general meeting, $1500.00 scholarships were awarded to two very worthy seniors from Lennard High School. The club president, Patty Hibsher, says “many wonderful social and charitable events are being planned for the fall and into next spring. Our VP of charities and fund raising likes to say, ‘We put the fun in FUNDRAISING.’ Thank you to our board and all the volunteers that help us in striving to help others.” It has been a very busy month for the Garden Club. On May 16th a group of Residents took a trip to Orchid Mania in Myakka City. A good day was had by all and a lot of money was well spent.

WELCOME NEW RESIDENTS WAYNE & SUE SIEVERT Wayne and Sue Sievert moved here from Plant City, Florida, where they were married just over a year ago after meeting on Match.com and dating for 4½ years. Sue was working at JCPenney and Wayne was working at General Electric. Wayne retired in 2009 and Sue in 2011.

Wayne is the founder of the Valencia Lakes Billiard Club and extends an invitation to any and all to sign up. Boston Marathon 2013: View from a Runner By Paula Norman © Associated Press On April 15, 2013, I was exceedingly grateful to be running my first Boston Marathon that I had qualified for a year earlier. The 26.2 mile journey from Hopkinton to Boylston Street began with a moment of silence at the start line for the Newtown victims, then passed TJ’s Food and Spirits in Ashland blaring Van Halen’s “Running with the Devil” to the pristine Natick community spectators offering orange slices and wet towels through the Wellesley Girl’s College scream tunnel to the unforgettable Boston College Student’s post-Newton Hills encouragement and cups of beer, to the myriad of 500,000 legendary spectators all along the route shouting words of inspiration and eager for a high-five. I crossed the finish line on Boylston Street at 2:03 P.M., with a finishing time of 3:38:34 — approximately 45 minutes before the two bombs exploded adjacent to the finish line, killing three spectators and severely injuring hundreds more. I’m grieved, angry and in disbelief that evil would invade such a global event of athlete and spectator camaraderie, truly evidenced by the unselfish acts of law enforcement officials, firefighters, medical personnel, military veterans, runners and spectators alike who displayed individual deeds of heroism and grace in assisting those injured in the attack. The ultimate dream of qualifying for the Boston Marathon will not fade as marathoners are a resilient lot with a formidable and courageous nature. My prayers and foremost concerns are for the bombing victims and their families, but I also celebrate the spectators who unselfishly sacrifice their free time to support the runners simply for the innocent love of the sport. Next year, on Patriot’s Day, I plan to run the 118th Boston Marathon in support of all the “Boston Strong”. 4 VALENCIA LAKES William L. and Beverly H.
