I
cannot speak for everyone, but I am ready to say goodbye to summer and hello to
fall. My only concern is that I have not seen a beautiful array of color
transitions yet. What I have noticed is that many leaves are drying out and
turning brown, then dropping off whenever we have a bit of wind. Hopefully, it
is just my imagination, and we will start to see a display of glorious gold and
orange leaves soon.
If you are looking for something to do or would like to see changes within the community, please think about helping on the Leisure Pointe Condominium Association Board. A position is open for the new year and the input and insights of other co-owners is welcome. Think about how you could make a difference (for example if you have a background in business or accounting, like the outdoors and gardening, or just want to help in general and get to know your community). Please submit your application in time for the board elections coming next month!
Also, consider some activities you would like to see organized by the Social Committee and let them know about your interests. They are looking for ideas and participation to help keep us busy in the upcoming winter months and it will be nice to have some interaction with neighbors that have similar interests. Want to start a monthly card game, solve a mystery together, join a book club, get together for quilting or needlework, or have an occasional progressive dinner (just to name a few ideas) then contact our property manager Lindsay Flynn at (lindsayflynn@bhhsmi.com or 269-488-0133). You can also contact Laurie Cronkhite, a social committee member (laurie.cronkhite@hotmail.com or 269-806-8533) to express your interest and share ideas.

Key events this October include World Vegetarian Day on 10/1, followed by National Golf Day on 10/4. It is Silly Sock Day on 10/12 so if you happen to be out walking around the community that day, be sure to be wearing them! For those of you who doubt the power of these special holidays—10/13 has been designated especially for you—International Skeptics Day. This is followed by Information Overload Day on 10/15 for those of us that continue to be stumped and frustrated with all the new electronics technology. Dictionary Day, also known as Learn a New Word Day is on 10/16, and in follow-up to Silly Sock Day we celebrate Wear Something Gaudy Day on 10/17. To brush up on simple math skills, we have Count Your Buttons Day on 10/21 followed by National Mole Day in celebration of the nuisance critters we keep dealing with in our yards on 10/23. In memory of my dad’s favorite sandwich growing up, we celebrate National Bologna Day on 10/24—the day I will lunch on his favorite bologna, peanut butter, and mustard sandwich (don’t knock it unless you have tried it). If you are feeling especially enthusiastic on 10/16—feel free to express yourself on Howl at the Moon Day! Lastly, in keeping with the treasured October traditions of our youth, celebrate National Candy Corn Day on 10/30, then carve a pumpkin and dress up in costumes for Halloween on 10/31.
