NOVEMBER 2015 WELCOME BACK
To our "FOY FAMILY" we are
looking forward to another wonderful,
fun filled winter here at the best resort
in the southwest. We have activities
for everyone and even for those who
aren't all that active.
We start off the season full time in
November, and we want to start on the
right foot. Please be aware of the Spa
rules, treat your neighbors with
respect and kindness and be prepared
to meet so many new friends you'll
have to double your Christmas card
list.
Speaking of Activities, please respect
the Hall times that you or your group
is allocated. If you are scheduled from
2 pm. to 4 p.m. that means you
START at 2 not 1 :55 to set up, and if
you end at 4 p.m. you should be OUT
of the hall at 4 pm. Stop your activity
in time to do this and make it an easier
transition for the next group.
The 2015/2016 season This season we
will have many activities that are
geared toward remembering the last
50 years of this wonderful resort. We
are bringing in some outstanding
NEW shows that will enhance your
stay and bring high class
entertainment to the spa. Every year
(season) we and the management have
endeavored to make your stay here at
the FOY as pleasant and enjoyable as
possible. If you have constructive
suggestions, please do not hesitate to
let us know.

RED HATS
Pickleball is a court sport best
described as half way between tennis
and ping-pong. The sport is played by
people all across North America.
Many seniors have taken up the sport
in their retirement years but it is also
played by thousands of school
children and top athletes in their 20’s
and 30’s. It is an easy sport to learn
and most everyone can play the game
just after a short time of hitting the
ball back and forth across the net.
Come out to the tennis courts at 10:30
each day to learn and enjoy the game
of Pickleball. Equipment is available
for you to use for free.
