VALENCIA LAKES V o i c e COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER OCTOBER — DECEMBER 2013 16003 Valencia Club Drive, Wimauma, FL 33598 | Phone: 800-875-2176 Keeping the Fun Going This Summer at Valencia By Cassandra Leopold Summer at Valencia Lakes heated up fast and the events were just as hot. July started off with a bang as this year’s 4th of July Celebration brought over 400 residents to the Clubhouse for a fun day of games and great food. Thank you to the Valencia Singers for putting on another amazing patriotic performance. There wasn’t a seat left in the house! Also in July we had the dance floor down as the residents boogied to their favorite 60s and 70s music numbers during Disco Night. We also kicked off the annual signature program Aquapoolooza in July with Bobby Summers, a crowd favorite. The Bistro area received some attention during the Mixed-Up Mondays, Wine Down Wednesdays and Frozen Fridays. The residents brought their favorite drinks and shared them (some of you) with each other. August featured movie nights, gift card bingo and the hilarious Judy B Goode. She had the residents laughing and dancing while she dressed as multiple characters and celebrities. The hot winner for gift card bingo was Lee Woodman with a grand prize of $425 in gift cards. This was our largest payout ever and the biggest turnout. The more that play, the more it pays! The events continued to sizzle in September as we sold out of our Labor Day concert and enjoyed a fun day of pool games and a BBQ from our bistro. Residents battled it out in the watermelon eating tii competition, the wet t-shirt relay and the rubber ducky derby. Rodney Davis thought he would get his duck to the other end first and he did with the help of a fishing line. Kathy Sarno ended up being the real winner for this event. Congratulations to the other competition winners, Alan Bearman for eating 32 slices of watermelon in two minutes and to the Messerschmitt family who dominated wett mina mi n te na ted d th tthee we w t-shirt relay.

Signa ture UPCOMING EVENTS FOR 2013 HALLOWEEN PARTY — OCT 26 NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY — DEC 31 V A L E N C I A L A K E S Event & Program Highlights Mixed Up Monday WINE DOWN WEDNESDAY CLUB SPOTLIGHT SOFTBALL’S NEW HOME By Andy Pfeiffer Residents of Valencia Lakes Wimauma, Florida, are enjoying several new amenities, among them a first-class softball complex. The new ballpark opened to residents on Memorial Day 2013 as part of a special dedication program, equipped with a concession area, restrooms, covered bleachers and dugouts. The residents of Valencia Lakes formed a 55+ softball team about four years ago and until now have been traveling and playing other teams in the vicinity. With the new field we now play scheduled games at home. Additionally, there is a group of residents that play weekly, part of an effort to develop a league where both residents and guests alike can enjoy an organized social game of softball on a field that can only be described as major league. With the opening of this facility by GL Homes, it puts new meaning to the phrase, “if you build it they will come.” BUSY BEAVERS Rodney Davis Disco Night Jennifer Cupcakes by team member The Woodworkers of Valencia Lakes are happy to announce that they have converted from an interest group to a club, with 56 members. No tools are needed — just basic skills. The member experts/professionals are happy to guide and assist you. We have several projects in the works, including the Lifestyle Event Center next to the soda machine. This area will be transformed into a much more organized and useful space. Magazine rack-type holders will be installed, the food drop box will be on rollers and two wooden slotted boxes will be added to accept payments, sign-up sheets and phones for soldiers. Other projects include furniture repair, community projects, toys, orchid boxes, domino holders, pepper mills, etc. Items will be for sale at the Oct. 5th arts and crafts festival here inside the clubhouse. The club solicits your support on our proposal to GL Homes to someday have a wood shop in an area shared with other common clubs. TABLE TENNIS ANYONE? Rodney Davis Old fashioned Ping Pong or modern day Table Tennis is what you have here with the Valencia Lakes Ping Pong Club. We have had several socials as well as organized tournaments in the spring and fall, both singles and doubles. The next scheduled tournament is in October (date tba). We have invited the top five players from Sun City Center to play Valencia Lakes top five players here. Several articles have been written on the health benefits of this sport. Google ping pong for health! The skill levels are multiple so you can play at any level you wish. Fun! Fun! Fun! Please contact Vincent Genovese for further information. 2 VALENCIA LAKES A FRESH SUMMER By Janet Corin This summer, the garden club welcomed Hydro Harvest Farms of Ruskin for a discussion about hydroponics. The “farmers” began planting for the first time at the end of May. All summer they watched, weeded, and waited for vegetables, herbs, and flowers to arrive, learning quickly which plants could not tolerate the heat or the extensive rains and which ones thrived. Weeding, too, they discovered was an ongoing endeavor. The flowers and herbs were great; most of the veggies were not. In June Rick from Apollo Beach Florist demonstrated flower arranging from locally grown flowers. In July, Tom from Sweetbay Nursery in Parrish presented a large variety of indigenous plants that grow well in our environment. Early in September Tampa Urban Farmers of Riverview demonstrated square foot gardening, enabling small spaces to grow a large variety of vegetables and herbs. VALENCIA LAKES WOMEN’S CLUB By Patty Hibsher The VL Women’s Club hosted two outings this summer. In August we spent a lovely day on Anna Maria Island lunching, shopping and relaxing on the beach. In September we hosted a tour of Keel and Curry Winery. Now it’s down to business. In October we are hosting a Tea Party to raise funds for next year’s scholarships. In November we have our annual Dance for the Cure on 11/1 and the Walk for the Cure on 11/2. Funds raised are donated to Moffitt Cancer Research Center. Once again, we hope to raise $10,000.00. With help and support from our community we can make it happen. ITALIAN – AMERICAN CLUB OF VALENCIA LAKES The “Italian Heritage Award” was bestowed upon Fulvia Fiorani for her active contribution to share the Italian culture and advance the image of Italy in her presentation to Valencia Lakes residents on July 22, 2013 on the subject: From Galileo to Enrico Fermi— an overview of great scientific contributions by noted Italian astronomers and physicists. Club president Vincent Genovese presents the “Italian Heritage Award” to Fulvia Fiorani assisted by board members from left: Marisa Schneider, Gerry Morelli, Mike Anitra, Chris Anitra and Martha Kilbour. JEWISH HERITAGE CLUB OF VL WEST POT LUCK DINNER By Neil Raphael On August 5th the Jewish Heritage Club held their first annual pot luck dinner featuring recipes from “mama’s kitchen.” More than one hundred members and guests attended this event that was held in the clubhouse social hall. Over 50 dishes were offered, many reminiscent of foods the attendees enjoyed as children — pot roast, kugel, kasha veraniskas, cabbage soup, meatballs and stuffed derma. There was also a large variety of salads, appetizers and delicious desserts, including Mandelbrot. After dinner we were treated to a live musical performance by “Midlife Crises,” who performed famous show tunes and musical numbers from the fifties. You could tell by all the singing and dancing that a good time was had by all! VLMVC MARCHES ON By Michelle Schaefer Valencia Lakes Military Veterans Club has been busy this year with several community projects. The club, which dedicates itself to Veterans Issues and charitable causes, worked closely with representatives of GL Homes, Inc. to dedicate the first Valencia Circle of Honor recognizing the services of its many residents who are also Veterans. In addition to the flagpoles, the Circle of Honor contains bricks with the names of Veterans and other supporters who made a charitable contribution. Since the Memorial Day Program, the Club’s Honor Guard has represented the Club at the 4th of July Celebration and will be participating in a remembrance at the Circle of Honor on Veteran’s Day, November 11. Following the successful gala event last year, honoring PFC Nick Battle, a wounded warrior, the club is again sponsoring a gala on November 9. This year’s event will raise funds to support My Warriors Place, a local organization dedicated toassisting returning veterans. The evening of fun, food and fellowship is open to all residents and their guests. There are many opportunities to volunteer within the VLMVC including a new project that will involve sending gift boxes to soldiers. VALENCIA LAKES 3 A JERSEY TOMATO GROWS IN WIMAUMA! When I moved to Florida I anticipated fresh tasty vegetables and fruit year round! After all the sun shines 360 days a year, right?! No more tasteless cardboard-like produce I was purchasing up North. I planted tomato plants from Home Depot in May and waited for that first juicy tomato only to watch the plant succumb to disease from the heat and summer rain. I quickly learned two things — Florida Summers can kill most anything and just because Home Depot sells it doesn’t mean you should or can grow it! Four years later I haven’t given up and my results have improved. I am experimenting with different seeds and plants and currently growing plants started with seeds produced by Rutgers University. I continue to search for that perfect “Jersey tomato.” Working in a garden and growing my own vegetables brings me pleasure and a sense of accomplishment. This past summer I had a great crop of Japanese eggplant and I am currently planting my fall garden which includes peppers, cucumbers, squash, broccoli and of course, my tomatoes. GLHomes has provided the residents of Valencia Lakes with a beautiful community garden for growing fruits and vegetables in a very manageable space. For information on the garden or obtaining a plot contact [email protected].
