SOCIAL COMMITTEE

Forty one of our Chardonnay residents enjoyed the Social Committee sponsored Valentine Dinner on Friday, February 8th, 2008. The fare was either fried cod or roast beef accompanied by a tossed salad, green beans, mashed potatoes and rolls from Remke Catering. The meal was topped off with a yummy Cherry Cobbler Cake and a no sugar added dessert provided by the Social Committee members. All this wonderful food was washed down with coffee, tea, wine and water.


A couple of Chardonnay Love-Bugs,
Joe and Mary Gates.

Mary Gerhardstein had a good time.

Good to see Eileen Rebholz out and about after her recent illness.

The next Social Committee event will be the Derby Party on Saturday, May 3rd.

The current Social Committee members are: Pat Rummel, Chairman, Pat Bibbins, secretary, Lola Bennett, treasurer, Anne Hemmingway, Janet Krebs, Dolores Von Handorf (as health permits), Bob Wheeler and Betty Ann Freemal.

The Social Committee can always use more help! We have lots of activities planned for later this year and hope that more of you will join our team. We have a good time and our entire community benefits from the efforts of this group. Contact Lola or any other Committee member to learn what is involved!

PET OWNERS
We are still getting complaints about owners not cleaning up after their pets.

Unless you have your pet trained to pickup after itself, then you will have to do the job for them.


SPECIAL THANKS

To all our friends and neighbors here at Chadonnay, a big thanks goes out for your cards, kind thoughts and prayers we received with the passing of Dave’s step-father. We all need each other in times such as this and our community is the greatest of them all. Your kindness was greatly appreciated.

Dave and Nancy Trowbridge

To my Chardonnay friends, I would like to thank everyone for the cards, calls and especially for the prayers during my recent illness. It brings one great comfort to know I have so many friends pulling for me. Thanks again!!

From the Board,

I would like to request the person who is dropping his/her cigarette butts at the mailbox on the corner of Napa Valley and Monterey, to please cease and desist with that practice. I am not able to bend over and pick up the butts and there are many others here in the community who are also unable to do that. Your butts make our grounds look trashy – or worse. So, please pick up you butts. Thank You,

The Board

The two vacant Committee Chairs have been filled. Daryl Moore is the new Landscape Committee Chair and Alan Hahn is the new Finance Committee Chair. Any help you may be able to give them would be greatly appreciated.
