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.

Sidewalk Safety
-
Keep scanning for vehicles as you cross.
- Make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of a vehicle.
- Hold your hand up or do whatever it takes to make yourself more visible to drivers.
- Be sure to wear proper fitting shoes when walking.
- Do not text and walk! Pay attention to the sidewalks and spot any cracks or uneven pavement to prevent falls. Some sidewalks may be lifted in areas where tree roots grow. Be sure to use caution and awareness when walking.
- Avoid walking in the dark and during bad weather such as rain or fog.
- Listen for the engine noises of backing vehicles when you're near a driveway or crossing mid-block between cars.

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.

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.
