8TH ANNUAL VICTORIA PARK BIRD COUNT
On Saturday, March 23, join Margaret Goldschneider and John Serrao for our 8th Annual Bird Count. We’ll meet at the Victoria Gardens Clubhouse at 7:30 AM (when the birds are all starting their morning songs and activities) and begin the day with a short walk along one of the scenic trails in our conservation areas. Then we’ll carpool to various ponds and wooded areas in all 4 sections of Victoria Park — from the Gardens to the Commons to the Hills to the Trails. At each of these stops we’ll leave our cars and briefly search for any species of birds in the immediate vicinity of the water and trees. We’ll end the morning with a stop at one of our picnic areas for lunch — so bring lunch, a drink, and binoculars if you have them (we’ll supply a few extra pairs). Bathroom breaks are also included so you can drink that extra coffee!
In each of the past years we’ve managed to find about 60 different kinds of birds, including such exciting species as bald eagle, swallow-tailed kite, wood stork, pileated woodpecker, purple martin, prairie warbler, scrub jay, and — once — a flock of white pelicans flying overhead! And we’ll share the company of positive, friendly people who enjoy experiencing our beautiful surroundings.
Happy Trails!

The Grapevine
Hi, this is C.J. Hamlin with some exciting news.
Introducing the Victoria Gardens podcast, "The Grapevine," a whole new way to communicate.
The podcast is similar to a radio show. It's like having an audio version of the newsletter.
You can listen to the podcast on your computer, iPad, or smart phone. You could also bring your headphones to the clubhouse and listen to the podcast at the computers in the library.
Special thanks to John Serrao and Margaret Goldschneider.

Banquet Rentals
Banquet rentals are a part of the Victoria Gardens Clubhouse operating income. The generated income benefits the residents by helping to offset some of the homeowners association fees. The Clubhouse team tries to accommodate resident programs and activities as scheduled. However, there may be some adjustments to the location of the activity/fitness class etc. As those changes occur, we will keep you posted via the weekly newsletter so you can prepare properly.
|
|
Ballroom Painting Scheduled
The Magnolia Ballroom will be closed on March 30th, 31st and April 1st. We will be painting the walls, stage area, baseboard, and other trim pieces. This is a big project. We understand that closing the ballroom isn’t easy. Our goal is to keep the clubhouse looking great and in excellent condition. Any classes or events that might be moved will be clearly posted.

Safety Tips
Residents often reserve certain chairs while attending events at the clubhouse. Please do not tip or lean the chairs up on the tables. Doing this exposes the legs/feet of the chair and poses a tripping hazard for other residents. Instead, you could use a “reserved” card or write your name on a note card and place it on the table.

Bocce Ball
All Are Welcome!
An addendum to last weeks Bocce Ball Article.
Additional thought on team building for Bocce Ball. Victoria Gardens has many neighborhoods that are very active. How about forming a teams of your friends and neighbors and set up a court time convenient for your team.
Rooting back to Italy, Bocce Ball has been played all over the world, becoming a tournament sport in America in 1896. This game is simple and can be played by people of all ages and athletic abilities!
The Bocce Ball Group is looking for more participation. Our Monday morning court time is very active and we would like to add more game times depending on what works best for the residents of Victoria Gardens. Bocce Ball is looking to add another morning, afternoon and evening time to play that best fits the schedule of those interested in playing.
As the clubs and groups of Victoria Gardens expand, we are hoping to gain more players who'd like to build a team for some fun competition! Although some people have a real competitive spirit, Bocce is a fun sport that gets even better as you progress and learn.
All are welcome to join! If you do not know how to play don't worry. We are here to help and share the rules with you.
If you are interetsed and have more questions please contact Greg.
