THANK YOU!!!
A big THANK YOU, to everyone who helped us with the St. Patrick’s Day meal. We could not have done it
without you. Beverly McDowell and her crew for the Delish! Irish bread and Ruth Kieffer for the Yummy!
dessert. The men Chuck Gregory, Jim Mossman, and Darrel Smith who helped John prepare and cook. And
Linda Mossman who was my right hand. The folks setting up the tables, the servers and the clean up crew, all
did a great job. And the dancers were an added treat.
SKP hugs to all. John and Pat Swatloski Lot 65
IRISH POEMS
Several people asked me to publish the little Irish poems that I read at the dinner. Since they are by "author
unknown" I will be glad to share:
Always remember to forget
the troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember
the blessings that come each day.
May neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
Enjoy and have a wonderful day. Ruth Kieffer, Lot 100
WIFI UPDATE!!
FYI: We recently added an access point in the Clubhouse (AlamoAreaSKP) so reception there
should be greatly improved. Also the noise you hear coming from the cabinet in the library is a fan
for cooling.

CRAFT CORNER PURCHASES
It has come to my attention that there are a lot of questions and confusion concerning the proper procedures to
purchase something from the Craft Corner at the Clubhouse. It is also very important that the paperwork be
filled out properly. Therefore, the following are the proper guidelines:
1. Once you’ve chosen the item(s) you wish to purchase, inspect the item(s) for any identification tags which
may show price, numbers of any kind, perhaps the crafter’s name, or a price sticker itself. If possible, cut
off the tag, carefully peel off the label, or remove the identification somehow.
2. There is a receipt book located on the craft table. Fill out the receipt book by placing the carbon paper
between the white and yellow copies and then fold up the protective cardboard. Fill out the DATE, your
NAME, the NAME or DESCRIPTION of the item(s) you are purchasing, and the PRICE for each item. If
there is a crafter’s name on the identification tag(s), write that person’s name on the receipt as well.
3. Tear out both the white and the yellow copy of the receipt from the book. Now tape or staple or somehow
attach any ID tags or labels to the yellow copy of the receipt and place the yellow copy in the money
container along with your payment. The purchaser keeps the white copy of the receipt.
4. If the purchase is being made by a GUEST in the park, on the receipt where it says NAME, write GUEST.
This is important! We must pay tax to the State of Texas on any items sold to a guest so the Crafts
Chairman must know if items are being purchased by a park member or a guest.
If everyone follows the above instructions when they purchase from the Craft Corner, hopefully the
bookkeeping process will be much easier, the crafters will receive proper payment for their items being sold,
and Bluebonnets will get the correct amount of money from the sale of crafts.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.
Patti Coble, Crafts Committee
