• Dottie Buran writes: “I want to thank our Heritage friends once again for their kind thoughts, calls, cards, food and beautiful floral arrangement during my recent hospitalization for a blood clot in my lungs. This will keep me on Coumadin for the next six months. Although I did have a chance to check out the new luxurious WB Ford Hospital, I prefer our home in Heritage. Also, I want to assure you that Tom and I are not running a contest to see which family can receive the most floral arrangements in a year! As one dear person said, I don’t need to keep having medical problems to get attention!”
   
• Georgena Reda shares: A special thank you to everyone for thoughts and for flowers after my recent surgery. A special thanks to Robert at the gate for holding the flowers for me too! Special thanks to the Red Hats and to Willie for putting me in their prayers. A special thanks to everyone!
   
• From the Family of Maria Fejer: “Dear Heritage in the Hills Friends: Words cannot express the gratitude of love and kindness Heritage has always shown my mother. It is great comfort to have friends and family support us during our waves of sadness. We are so thankful for the wonderful memories we have of my mother. She loved her walks with Halyva; waving and talking to neighbors. Thank you for the lovely flowers. It was so thoughtful of you. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and friendship.”
   
• Rose Govig fondly writres: Dear Friends at Heritage in the Hills: God’s hand was guiding us when Gerry and I chose this community in which to live. It is a place of kind, thoughtful, caring neighbors that made this last month easier to bear. Thank you for the cards, flowers, food and good wishes.”

TO STEP OR NOT TO STEP?

Do you own an “Original Health STEP” that you’re not using? If so, the exercise group could make use of it and would appreciate your donation. In case you’re not sure if a STEP-like-product you might have is the brand we are interested in, they are usually a light green with a black non-slip surface on the top, measure 43”L X 16”W X 4”H, and include pink or gray 16 by 16 inch square blocks that raise the STEP height from 4” high to 6” or 8” using one or two when mounted under both ends. Several other similar brands are slippery and narrower, and are not desired. Call Don Cassidy (364-4557) and he’ll confirm yours are the ones we’d like and pick them up! Thank you! If you aren’t using them, we can!

Ponderings From the Manager

Ah, the aroma of spring is upon us! What a busy time it has been in this community! It is looking awesome, isn’t it? The pool and spa is open and functioning beautifully. Even if you don’t swim, sure hope you come down and appreciate the beautiful atmosphere of the pool area. All the work that has been done at the poolside sure is welcoming! The tennis courts are being resurfaced and will be done by the first week of June. So much going on just to keep the community as beautiful as ever! Take a look around and appreciate the beauty!

Speaking of the pool, it is imperative that you pick-up your Pool Rules Booklet if you haven’t done so already; especially prior to coming to the pool. The booklet can be picked up in the Clubhouse office. If you come to the pool area without first getting your Pool Rules Booklet, you will be asked to come in and get it before you do any swimming. Once again, we highly encourage you take the time to read this booklet to become familiar with the rules at the pool. This is solely for your health and safety! Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated! In
addition, back in the March Heritage Headlines was a new Homeowners Information form which also needs immediate attention in completing and returning to the Clubhouse office. This information is necessary for means to contact you or your emergency contact in an emergency situation. PLEASE be attentive to this matter and get those completed forms to us as soon as possible. If you need a form, they are available in the office. Next month you will be asked to complete a new Visitor List form so that your visitor cards can be updated at the gate house. Some of the visitor cards are in dire need of updating. This is a simple way of keeping our community safe and secure!

Just a reminder that trash pick-up is now on Thursday. There has been some concern about the time trash can be put to the curb on Wednesday evening. Just be kind and don’t put the trash out too early on Wednesday! We understand if you require help in this area and have someone to do it prior to dark, it will be acceptable. Remember that Miller Landscape picks up yard waste on Wednesday and this must at your curb by 10:00 am. Yard waste must be in brown paper bags and must only include yard waste, not other garbage. Your attention to these dates and times would be greatly appreciated by all!

Mike from Miller Landscape has asked that if you would like work done at your home that you call Miller Landscape direct rather than stop him while he’s cutting or working in the community. He doesn’t always have the means to jot a note to himself if he’s busy working and he is fearful of forgetting! If you call Miller direct, he will receive the message and then stop by to see you to discuss your needs. You can call Miller at 248-391-6113.

In this newsletter you will find many bus trips and events of interest. Please pay attention to the sign-up dates and do your best at signing up on time. We understand that often schedules change for one reason or the other, but if you hesitate it may make the difference of cancelling the event! There are many offerings, so please take the time to see the fun that is offered! There are more events at the poolside and more events that invite your grandchildren! Study the calendar and for more information on a specific event look in the Events or Bus Trips for the month further back in the newsletter. If you have questions, never hesitate to give us a call in the office.

Several times in the winter months under my article, I included a small “seeds for thought” or a funny article. I received many comments from residents that they enjoyed this addition. With that thought, I will conclude this article with this heartwarming story. Just remember that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have!

THE LOVE STORY OF RALPH AND EDNA

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse became aware of Edna’s heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, “Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you’re being discharged since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he is dead.”

Edna quickly replied, ‘He didn’t hang himself! I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?’

HOPE YOUR SMILING! HAPPY SUMMER TO EVERYONE .. GET OUT AND SMELL THE ROSES!

(From the May, 2009 Board of Directors Meetings)

To increase communications about Board activities we are placing a brief overview of some of the topics discussed at each month’s Board meeting in the Monthly newsletter. Here are some topics from last month:

ASSOCIATION NEWS:

We have several projects underway or recently completed at the clubhouse and on the property.

1. The Board approved the purchase of new desks for the office. The present desk will be moved upstairs where it can be utilized. The built-in cabinets and shelves will be re-worked to make room for a second desk. One cabinet will be moved into the craft room.
    
2. The Board approved construction of a book case for the library. This unit will match the present shelving and should ease our over-flow situation.
    
3. We received a bid to replace the wood trim around the dormers on the clubhouse with aluminum. The Board voted to proceed with this project. The aluminum will eliminate the need for maintenance of these dormers.
4. The Board approved a bid for resurfacing of the tennis courts. Both courts will be striped for pickle ball use at this time. The striping will not interfere with the use of the courts for tennis.
    
5. The swimming pool cover has disintegrated after ten years’ of use. We will purchase a new pool cover to be installed when the pool is closed in the fall. The new cover will have a built-in anchoring system which should help to protect the pool over the winter months.
    
6. Other maintenance issues that have been completed:
    
   1. Stone ground cover has been added around the pool deck.
   2. New water heater for the kitchen.
   3. Annual test for clubhouse fire suppression system
   4. Batteries replaced in Emergency/Exit lights

TREASURER’S REPORT:
