The Grapevine
Dear residents of Victoria Gardens,
Hi, this is C.J. Hamlin with some exciting news.
The third episode of our new podcast, "The Grapevine" is now available. On this latest episode Mr,. Ed Pritchett hosts a segment on Pickleball; you don't want to miss this wonderful discussion! Also on the show, I answer four questions submitted by residents, Evelyn Rosa and Justine Tucker give updates on the lifestyle activities for May, and a special Happy Birthday to one of our residents.
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.
We will be featuring many of our amazing residents here, interviews with doctors, historians, and much more. If you would like to be a guest on a future show, please contact me at CHamlin@Evergreen-LM.com
We will also be answering questions submitted by residents on the show. You can send your questions to: AskCJaQuestion@gmail.com
Regards,
Charles J. Hamlin "C.J."
Club Manager

Library Volunteer Committee
First, we would like to welcome our many new residents, and hope you will enjoy the library as well as the other amenities of the Gardens!
However, we would like everyone to understand that the space we have in our library is very limited, and while we appreciate book donations, we cannot take whole private collections that are no longer wanted or have room for. If you have large quantities of books, especially history, religion, sport specific or even novels, etc., we request that you take and donate them to either the Lake Helen or DeLand libraries. They have book resale stores that welcome large and small donations.
Please do not leave them in our library for our volunteers to handle for you.
We currently only keep books with publication dates back to 2010.
Thank you for helping keeping our library enjoyable and usable for all.

Library Volunteer Committee Coordinator

COME PLAY DUPLICATE
BRIDGE!
Wednesday afternoons,
1 p.m.
Seeking new and experienced players to join us. For those new to duplicate, the same hands are played at each table and scoring is based on relative performance. In this way, every hand, whether strong or weak, is played in competition with others playing identical cards, and the element of skill is heightened while that of chance is reduced . In other words, if you get a good or bad hand, so do the other players. It is fun to compare how others played the same hand.
Stop by (usually in the multi-purpose room) any Wednesday between 1 and 4 p.m. to meet the players and sign up to be called when players are needed. You are invited to join us!

Hand, Knee & Foot Lessons
Welcome all new residents to a fun and interesting card game. Monday at 1:30 PM is the time for teaching anyone who wants to learn how to play.
Regular game times are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 1 PM in the card room. Please try to come at least 15 minutes before 1 PM so we can make certain how many players will be participating.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all.
