Date:                            Saturday, September 20, 2008 Noon-5 pm                    
Place:                           Court Area at York Court # 1

Mother Nature provided a perfect day for our annual picnic this year.
 
Many residents and friends attended this year's picnic with contributions that included chicken kabobs, dogs and 
burgers, chocolate rum cake, plenty of deviled eggs, and other foods.Von Hendricks was the grilling chef for us 
and there were 'great spirits' of both the liquid and human nature types with warm greetings and pleasantries heard 
from all as each attendee arrived.
 
Our newest homeowners at 2 York Court #1, Erica McGuire and Delores Shields (mom and daughter) were presented 
with a nut and candy basket from The Peanut Shoppe as has become a more recent tradition here at the courts. Welcome to you both!!

There were opportunities to meet several neighbors from the surrounding community and to enjoy 
conversation while getting to know each other. All this under the backdrop of some good old jazz 
music!!!
 
Special thanks to all those that assisted with planning, preparations and cleanup for this year's event 
with a special thanks to Von Hendricks for his extraordinary contribution which include mowing 
court 1. (Though the grounds maintenance crew showed up later in the day, your efforts are recognized 
and hugely appreciated.) And, for creating a wonderful bistro style setting including tablecloth covered 
tables each topped with flowers. Also, Von removed the recently deceased tree from court #1 which we 
hope to replace by the middle of October.
 
Thanks to each of you for a wonderfully pleasant day and enjoyable experience!
