Happy Times Are Here Again!!! The Planning Committee is now meeting once a month, the first Thursday of every month at 10:30AM. Meetings are being held in the Boardroom. Community members are welcome to attend. Meetings will continue to be held via zoom. At the Committee ’ s last meeting, lighting at night around pools at both clubhouses was discussed. Committee members took some night walks around both pools to see what things looked like. It was determined that the walkways at the south end of the pool area, closest to the Pickleball courts, leading out to the parking areas were dimly lit. General Manager said this will be taken care of. Shade at both pool areas was discussed. The Resort has more umbrellas. Tables are on order and are being held up due to the supply backlog. A few more tables will be added to the order. There will be 10 tables at LP and 9 tables at ES. At LP pool area, one dying plant was identified; it will be replaced. Landscaping can be very subjective. Committee members will do a walkabout before the next meeting and discuss. Other items of discussion were: Dartboards in the pool room. This item will be passed onto the Activities Committee. Kegerator . More research is needed. Lights and/or cameras for security placed where the old gate was, after it is moved to its new place when the Dog Park is completed. An Owner requested the Committee to look at pathways branching off Hibiscus Drive into living areas (the closest ones to LP). Committee members will make some night visits.
I'VE BEEN RICH....I'VE BEEN POOR We probably all have said or thought this with the same response, "I like rich better." The real question is "are we content with what we have now." Webster defines "content" as being able to limit the desire of. To control oneself in requirements, desires and actions. I like this one; fueling or manifesting satisfaction with ones possessions; status; or situation. The Apostle Paul said in Philippians, chapter 4, the following "I know how to get along with humble means; and also how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I am in to be content. I know how to get along with humble means and I also know how to live in prosperity. I have learned the secret of being filled or going hungry, of having abundance or suffering need. ORPS Chapel and friends, thanks to the leadership of Carolyn Hyde and Maryellen Muir, spearheaded raising funds to give the Salvation Army giving out Thanksgiving turkeys. Over $2,800 was given by ORPS to aid folk who had real need. Thanks to so many, the Army was able to provide "hope" for food. Remember those in need. We live in a consuming culture that seduces us into wanting something we don't have. True contentment comes from living humbly and loving and caring for others. As we enter the New Year, let ’ s be humble folk who are satisfied with what we have, being generous to those among us with need. Here is a challenge from Scripture for the New Year. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6. Whether abounding or abased we are blessed people living at ORPS, being loved, and living among friends. Courtesy is contagious, "Lets start an epidemic." Happy New Year .We would love to greet you at chapel with many friends
