Dear Village Members,

Merry Christmas!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
It seems each year at Christmas at least one person asks if there is a Village policy regarding the giving of gifts to employees. As a non-profit Christian organization, it is important to set reasonable expectations for employees to follow if members and others the Village serves desire to give them a gift. ACV has developed standards of ethics that serve as guidelines for our employees. These standards may be reviewed by requesting a copy from the Office of the President. One of the standards states that a conflict of interest may arise when employees seek or accept gifts of material value from Village members, clients, customers, or vendors. This standard is not meant in any way to lessen the spirit of being good neighbors and friends. We are first and foremost a community where compassion for one another gives character to the relationships that are naturally built between members and staff. One uniqueness of the Village community is having many employees and families who live on or near the campus participating in the life of the Village beyond their roles as employees. This is seen as we worship, fellowship, celebrate, and even grieve together. How do we fit this standard into a community where people genuinely care for each other and may wish on occasion to give a gift of appreciation to a staff member? Here are a few guidelines that may help us all in fulfilling the spirit and intent of this standard.
1. The best gifts from members to employees are words or written notes and cards expressing thanksgiving, encouragement, support, and appreciation.
2. Homemade food items from your own special recipes can be enjoyed by a group of employees. Remember, there are a large number of employees working behind the scenes who you seldom meet but do a wonderful service on behalf of Village members.
3. Members should never feel that gifts to employees are necessary or expected.
4. Employees are never permitted to ask for personal gifts or loans without authorization from the Village’s administration.
5. If an employee receives an unsolicited gift of significant value, he/she is required to report the information to an ACV officer.
6. A nice way to honor an employee is with a gift to the ACV benevolent fund. An honor card will be sent to the employee recognizing your gift in his/her honor.
The burden of following ACV’s standards of ethics is placed on the employee, not the member. The strong standards are set to hopefully avoid any hint of exploitation by an employee. Circumstances within the community may give reason for all of us to join together to express appreciation or helpfulness in the life of an employee. In these specific circumstances, an official announcement will be made by the administration. Thank you for being wonderful participants in the building of a great community of members and employees.
2020 WAYS TO SUPPORT ACV YOU MAY NOT HAVE CONSIDERED
In December, many of us enjoy helping our favorite organizations by giving a donation. As you ponder which ones you might help, we hope you will consider ACV and its ministry to people in need. Here are some ideas to think over: This year, if you have given gifts to charitable organizations like ACV, up to $300 of that can automatically be deducted on your tax return, even if you do not itemize deductions. To qualify, these donations must be in the form of cash, checks or credit card payments. Also in 2020, senior adults are allowed to donate gifts up to 100% of their Adjusted Gross Income. In the past, the amount of the annual charitable deduction had been limited and will be limited again starting in 2021. If you are over the age of 70½, you can give gifts to ACV directly from an IRA. Each year, you can give any amount up to $100,000 from your IRA without having to report it as income on your tax return. This is especially useful for those who give to ACV regularly but do not meet the conditions that allow them to itemize on their tax return. If you own stocks, you are aware that the stock market has performed well in 2020. Consider donating stocks that have gained value to ACV, and you can claim a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock. If you itemize deductions on your

income tax return, you will receive a charitable contribution deduction and so will avoid paying the capital gains tax. We hope this information is useful, and you will consider offering your support toward whichever aspect of ACV’s ministry is most meaningful to you. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Jim Davis, ACV’s Director of Legacy Giving, or Darleen Hinrichs, Sr. Director of Donor Engagement, at 658-5110.
RDR FALL MENU If you look at the menu for this upcoming week, you will note that we are starting a new fall and winter menu rotation for RDR. We hope that you will make plans to stop by and try some of our new dishes. We have expanded the offerings and hope that you will enjoy the changes. You should also note that prices have changed for most items. The new price for the weekday value meal has increased to $6.50, but we have reduced the prices of the individual entrées ($5.10) and sides (85¢) so that you can have greater flexibility in how you would like to select your meal items. Most of you will know that we have not increased prices in the past two years, but unfortunately, the cost of products and labor has continued to rise. Please know that we will continue to evaluate our pricing to provide value to you, but we must make efforts to better cover the costs associated with operating the dining room and our other foodservice venues.

MOVIE MATINEE Saturday, Dec. 5, 2:00 p.m. - OPR
While recovering in a hospital, war hero Jefferson Jones’s nurse arranges with columnist Elizabeth Lane’s publisher for Jeff to spend the holiday at Elizabeth’s bucolic Connecticut farm with her husband and child. But the column is a sham, so Elizabeth solicits the help of her fiancé and chef friend to help her keep up the ruse. 1945 comedy. 101 mins. Not rated by Delia Chellis. The Village Church is able to show this movie because it is covered by their CVLI license, which also
prohibits the advertisement of the movie’s title and actors’ names. Due to the 3:00 p.m. Christmas cantata performance on Saturday, Dec. 12, there will be no movie matinee next week.
ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING EVENT Sunday, Dec. 6, 6:30 p.m. - VS
Join us Sunday evening, Dec. 6, for our annual Tree Lighting event done a little differently. Instead of taking place in the VC sanctuary and courtyard, this year’s event will take place at the VS. It promises to still be a wonderful kick-off to the ACV Christmas season. As usual, it will begin with a time of music by VC musicians. Following that, Board Member Emeritus Bill Nickerson will lead in “magically” lighting the Village Christmas tree and all of the Village’s Christmas lights. Finally, if we’re good, we might enjoy a jolly visitor in red. Due to COVID-19, only ACV members and select staff will be welcome at this event. Please be prepared to observe social distancing. Shuttle service will be available from CH and DH to the VS beginning at 6:00 p.m.
THE SIXTH ANNUAL ELDER AND THE REVS DOING THE MUSIC OF
ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS Tuesday, Dec. 8, 3:00 p.m. - VC
This year there will be an additional two reverends; Rev. Donald Wrigley and Rev. Rosemary Humbles are joining the original elder and two Revs, Elder Dick Grillo, Rev. Ted Jones, and Rev. Bob Story, to present a program of Advent and Christmas music. The audience will be asked to join in on some of the familiar carols, and Jordan Coombs will be our boy soloist for the third year. Last year’s concert had a record attendance, and even though only 75 will be able to attend this year (reservations required), the concert will be broadcast live on TV2 for those who can’t attend.
PARADE ON WHEELS Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2:30 p.m. - Village-Wide
Bring out your antique cars, golf carts, bicycles, and scooters (anything with wheels) decorated for the Christmas season. All entries need to be at Lake Aquilla by 2:00 p.m. for judging. There will be two categories: ACV members and Village departments. The parade will start at 2:30 p.m. The parade will travel around the ACV campus for Darian Tyre and all to enjoy. Unfortunately, we cannot gather for the usual post-parade reception at CCC following the parade, however, we will circle up in the CCC parking lot so that the winners can be announced before everyone disperses.
CHRISTMAS BANQUET Friday, Dec. 25
11:00 & 11:45 a.m., 12:30 & 1:15 p.m. - RDR Free for Members
Once again, ACV is treating its members to a free Christmas Day buffet in RDR served at four seating times. Although the buffet is complimentary for all members, reservations are required as seating is limited. Tickets are available at the IC. See the end of this article for ticket information. Due to COVID-19, family and guests may not attend this year (only ACV members and working staff), seating will be limited to four to a table, masks will be required unless you are sitting at your table, and we ask that you please observe social distancing. For those who would rather eat at home, take-out holiday dinners will be available once again for Christmas. You have until Monday, Dec. 14, to make your Christmas take-out meal order at the Lopin’ Gopher. ACV Dining Services’ take-out holiday dinners make the cooking process much simpler — just heat and serve! Look for the order form in this FNN to order your turkey, ham, and/or roast beef; along with sweet potatoes, green beans with potatoes, carrot soufflé, and a variety of other sides; bread, desserts, and even beverages. You will see on the order form that the entrée, side, bread, dessert and beverage options are listed.
The Village Grocer will close at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, due to the Christmas cantata preparations.

The first section with prices shows our recommended quantities for a group of four to six. If you are planning to feed six to 10, consider ordering the quantities suggested in the second pricing section. The last section is for you to indicate how much of each item you would like to purchase. Totaling your order will help you know how much your order will cost, but it is not necessary to total your order before making your order. At the bottom of the order form is a Christmas Dinner for Two option. If you and just one other loved one are planning to eat together, you can order either turkey or ham, three one-pound sides, and one half-gallon beverage. This meal option automatically comes with gravy, cranberry applesauce, dinner rolls, and sweet potato pie for two. Orders need to be made and paid for at the Lopin’ Gopher by Monday, Dec. 14. The meals will be picked up on Thursday, Dec. 24, before 6:00 p.m., from the Lopin’ Gopher. Only ACV members and staff may take advantage of this offer. Individual to-go meals may be picked at RDR on Christmas Day if you have a ticket. Each ACV member may pick up either one seating ticket or one to-go ticket. Seating tickets and to-go tickets may be used on Christmas Day at RDR. Alternatively, to-go tickets may be used to cover some or all of the cost when ordering take-out holiday dinners. Each ticket handed in with your order subtracts up to $14.00 from the bill depending on the total. Cash back will not be issued if the maximum ticket value total exceeds the bill amount. If you have questions, call Member Services at 658-5400.

MEMBER SERVICES James Sutter–386-658-5400
Merry Christmas! MS was very blessed to have several volunteers working together to hang lights and garlands, decorate trees and other surfaces, and spread general merriment while decking the halls this past week and a half. The process went so smoothly, I had to be involved very little. A big “Thank you!” to all. Be sure to read President Carter’s letter on Page 2 of this FNN outlining the various Christmas activities taking place beginning with Sunday’s annual Tree Lighting event. We encourage you to take part in as much as you will enjoy. Due to COVID, many events have been altered from previous years in one way or another. Pay close attention to days, times and especially locations. If you show up to attend Tree Lighting in the VC (Village Church) as you always have, for instance, you’ll be surprised when you find the doors locked and everyone else is gathering at the VS (Village Square). Also, please pray for mild weather and comfortable temperatures on Dec. 6, 12 and 13. I was notified of three different scams that affected members and staff this week. The first is a COVID test results text scam one member received. If you are tested for COVID, make sure you understand how you will be notified of the results so you will not be duped by any bogus communication you might receive. The telephone Social Security scam is on the rise again. I’ll remind you that the Social Security Administration will only ever contact you by letter unless you’ve already arranged for another form of communication. There is also a Windstream scam coming to some through e-mail and/or text. If you’re contacted by
Youth Fellowship Singing Christmas Cards
The Village Church Youth Fellowship will be delivering SINGING CHRISTMAS CARDS Dec. 16–22. This year we will only be able to deliver in person to individual homes with outdoor entrances. Unfortunately, we cannot deliver in person to DH, CH, RV, Lawrence House, DM or GSC due to COVID-19 restrictions. To send a Singing Christmas Card to a loved one or friend in the Dowling Park area, please fill out the form below, and return it to the church office. We ask those sending a Singing Christmas Card to make a donation to our youth ministry program. Please make your check payable to The Village Church, noting “Singing Christmas Cards” in the memo. Each greeting comes with a personalized Christmas card accompanied by Christmas carols sung by members of our Youth Fellowship. Please remember, ALL ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, DEC. 13. If you have any questions, please call Pastor Randy at the church office at 658-5344.

Member Services Tip of the Week As of today (Dec. 4, 2020), there are only 300 more days before Phase 4 of the REAL ID enforcement progress begins. If you do not have a REAL ID by Oct. 1, 2021, your driver’s license or ID card may only be used in conjunction with a second form of ID for boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft. What is a REAL ID? “REAL ID is a nationwide effort to improve the integrity and security of state-issued driver licenses and ID cards, which in turn will help fight terrorism and reduce identity fraud.” If you look at your driver’s license or ID card, a REAL ID will have a white star on a gold circle near the top-right corner. If your ID doesn’t have the white star on a gold circle, you do not have a REAL ID. To obtain one, visit the driver license office in Live Oak. You’ll need to present your current ID card as well as a valid, unexpired U.S. passport; an original or certified copy of a birth certificate; a consular report of birth abroad; a certificate of naturalization issued by DHS; or a certificate of citizenship to prove your identity. For cases where the current name and the name on the primary identity document are different, you should also bring a court-ordered name change document, a marriage certificate issued by the courts, and/or a divorce decree issued by the courts. To read more, visit dhs.gov/real-id.
TV2 Daily Advent devotional videos are airing on TV2 through Christmas Day at 9:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. The devotionals were written by Michael Saunders and are read by Kevin Chapman, Susan Darby, Jim Gilroy, Dick Grillo, Darleen Hinrichs, Wayne Hinrichs, Jack Jones, Shirley Minster, Dick Russell, Linda Russell, Dan Skelly, Mary Jane Sutter, George Waterman, Donald Wrigley, and Penny Wrigley.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES Eleanore Catarious–386-658-5251
Everywhere you look these days, you can’t help but notice that the countdown to Christmas has begun. The work on the grounds began in November, and now the decorations are rising up in the various indoor areas of the Village. There are so many talented people involved in this process, and the results will be exciting to say the least. Be sure to visit as many areas as possible in the coming weeks as we prepare for the Savior’s birth. Many thanks to all who participated. Don’t forget the Tree Lighting service on Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the VS. For a holiday-season boost, why not open a hymnal or play a CD? Several years ago, in interviews with 65 North Carolinians who experienced a life-threatening illness, the death of a loved one, or another difficult time, those who expressed their faith through song said that they felt strengthened, more at peace, and better able to endure stressful situations when they sang or simply hummed hymns to themselves while thinking about the lyrics. Most helpful were hymns of thanksgiving and praise, according to an article written by Jill B. Hamilton, Ph.D., of Nursing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Christmas can be a complex time. There are gifts to buy, traveling, homes to decorate, and other various preparations, in addition to many events to attend. It is not a simplistic time. However, there is generosity in how people give of themselves to help others worship the Christ Child — the simplest and most generous gift the world has ever received. Whether it is simple or complex, may your Christmas and Christmas preparations be centered on Christ. Let the meaning of Christ’s birth mean more than ever before. Many thanks and much appreciation for all of the ACV volunteers who are able to serve during these trying pandemic times and for Administration for going over and beyond to keep us informed and safe “If everything special and warm and happy in my formative years could have been consolidated into one word, that word would have been ‘Christmas’.” Gloria Gaither.
THE RUSTIC SHOP Myra Webb, Reporter
The Rustic Shop volunteers are hoping all of you had a great Thanksgiving. We have a few weeks prior to singing Aggie Green’s big time Christmas carols, so come into our shop and enjoy 25% clearance on all items.
POLK CERAMICS SHOP Laura Putnam, Reporter
We all hope you have had a very grateful Thanksgiving. We do have so much to be thankful for, and especially in the midst of this year of change and more change. But we look forward to an interesting “new normal” as we move forward — we know that the Lord is preparing a glorious “new normal” for us, His children, even if we do not know just when that will actually take place. As usual, the ceramics shop is closed for the month of December. If there are some finished ceramic pieces that you would like to purchase, please phone Chris Christiansen or me (Laura Putnam), and we will be glad to assist you. We at the ceramics shop have had a good year, even though it has certainly been different. We anticipate many of you folk visiting us in the new year ahead. Wow, 2021! Watch for news.
PHOTO DISPLAY BY THE LOPIN’ GOPHER Gary Kueppers, Reporter
We finally have new photos on display in the Phillips Center by the Lopin’ Gopher. The Village bought a new printer large enough to print the photos. We will leave these photos on display for two months or more. I hope to have new ones for display February through March 2021. This theme is your photo interpretation of “Food”. Enjoy these photos from members of ACV. The next theme is “Animals and Pets”, so let me have your best photos. Contact Gary Kueppers at 658-6442 or gkuep1945@windstream.net with questions and photos.
VILLAGE VOICES Nancy Seale, Reporter
Not only is December here, it brought with it chilly weather as a reminder of its arrival! How fitting and festive. Speaking of festive, our Village is being adorned by its dedicated crew and once completed, it’s quite spectacular! Seeing the various stages of decorating definitely adds to the anticipation of what is to come, making the beautiful end result well worth the wait! The many hours of decorating brings festive beauty to our community. Thank you to all who have a special part in the arduous process of this yearly event! The last month of 2020 around ACV offers many ways to “celebrate”. The upcoming annual Christmas cantata will not disappoint. The change of venue promises to add ambience to the celebration of this yearly event. The weekend of Dec. 12 and 13 will definitely be celebratory with musical reminders of the “reason for the season”. There are many celebrations occurring in December. Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, falls on the first Monday of December this year. To those who served, “Thank you!” On Thursday, Dec. 10, Hanukkah begins and continues for eight nights. On the 21st of the month, the Winter Solstice occurs, offering the shortest day and longest evening of the year. From then on, the days gradually get longer. And then of course, the celebrations of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, followed by New Year’s Eve. Kwanzaa, the celebration of African-American culture begins on Dec. 26 and ends on Jan. 1. As you “celebrate” your way through the month of December, I urge you to enjoy the opportunity to make new memories and to recall the times of past celebrations that have special meaning in your life. You may just find yourself coming up with an idea for a submission for the upcoming edition of Village Voices entitled “Celebrations”. Your submission can be in the form of writing, prose and poetry, and black and white artwork. The submission envelope is on the counter in MS and awaits your gift of a contribution. You may also

email me at basketcasenan51@gmail.com. BOLO (be on the lookout) for the next Village Voices article in the FNN in January 2021! Can you believe it? 2021! Oh my … what a wonderful opportunity awaits us — a new year! However, let’s make the most of what is left of 2020!

BUTTERFIELD ACRES James Sutter, Reporter
We are at the threshold of 2021, but there are still some 2020 BA birthdays and anniversaries to recognize. This week, we have four BA birthdays: Gene Burgess on the 4th, Miriam Abbott on the 6th, Debbie Register on the 9th, and Janice Underwood on the 8th. Happy birthday! We also have one BA wedding anniversary this week. On the 11th, Mary Jane and I will have been married for 21 years. My, how time flies! It seems like not that long ago I was sneaking into the fellowship hall of Salem Advent Christian Church in Mt. Olive, N.C., to grab something to eat while waiting for the ceremony to start. The little old ladies putting the finishing touches on the reception platters were more than happy to quickly fix me a sandwich to chomp down to silence my stomach and help calm my nerves. Little did I know what adventures awaited me and the future Mrs. Sutter. Love you, Honey! Speaking of Mary Jane, she has declared that 2020 is not a total loss. McDonald’s has brought back the McRib sandwich, which is available for a limited time even at the Live Oak McDonald’s. If you’re a fan, get it while you can.
CARTER HOUSE Diane Milnes, Reporter
Thank you, ACV, for the great meal that we received for Thanksgiving. A lot of people got phone calls and letters from family and friends during the Thanksgiving holidays. I know I was so glad to hear from my sisters and children on Thanksgiving. Thank you to the people who are decorating for Christmas. This week, Monica Serlick has a birthday on Dec. 5. Happy birthday, Monica. We have a lot of activities going on here in the Village during the month of December. They will be listed in the FNN. Get out and enjoy Christmas month.
DOWLING HOUSE Janice Harris, Reporter
Jeanine Stephens spent Thanksgiving at her grandson’s home. After Thanksgiving, Jeannine visited her daughter in Tampa where the family had a picture made with her new great-great grandson. Thanks to all who worked so hard putting up Christmas trees within the Village. Thanks also to all the staff who worked on Thanksgiving Day like the IC and foodservice and housekeeping and DH and CH front desk personnel, security, first responders, home health care, nursing home and Dacier staff. Thanks again to the FNN staff for making sure we had the FNN on Thanksgiving Day. Did you know Ann Thompson is to be credited with the creativity of the Nature Tree and the Toy Tree? She hand-picked the ornaments to go on the toy tree trying to depict items that our original orphans would have been familiar with. Some of the ornaments on this tree have been donated by residents. Remember the Tree Lighting will be Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the VS. Daisy, Bear and Izzy, the three camels, are back. We look forward to their return to ACV each Christmas thanks to the Royals. Our birthday for December in DH is Bonnie Fennell on the 13th. The new Publix opens Dec. 10. Now that we have celebrated Thanksgiving, it is time for the Harris household to begin decorating for Christmas. We put up two trees, a smaller tree with ornaments we have collected over the years that are
not related to the birth of Christ, then a larger tree that depicts our Savior. One year, we did a tree with all purple ornaments to signify Christ’s royalty. One year a rustic tree with the theme “The Wise Men still seek Him”. One year a red and white tree to represent the blood Christ shed and His purity. Another year we did a candy cane tree that represents the story of the candy cane: a white candy striped with red to represent the stripes Christ had as a result of His death on the cross, peppermint to represent the spices used to bury Him, and turn the candy cane one way and it is a J for Jesus and upside down it is a shepherd’s hook. This year our ornaments tell the life of Christ: a manger scene, cinnamon brooms for the spices, crosses, angels, a lion and lamb, shepherds, pine cones wrapped in red, white and green, to represent Christ’s death, purity, and growing in Christ.
DOWLING MANOR & DOWLING PARK NORTH
Jack “CrackerJack” Dixon, Reporter It’s beginning to look like Christmas; decorations of lights on the houses and trees and blow-up Santas and reindeers with wreaths on the front doors. I hope to get some lights in our front yard today if it isn’t raining. I think Ms. Audrey Murray has done a beautiful job on her home. If you are not up to doing it yourself, or if you are like me, and your wife prohibits you from getting up on a ladder, take a look on the corners of CR 136 and 102nd Place and 104th Road at the fine job Robert Peacock did on the Watermans’ and the Motts’ homes. Robert is available to decorate your home also; just give him a call. We also saw a beautiful display of decorations on 185th between 136 and Hwy. 90 you might want to check out. Our ACV bus will be making a trip to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park on Monday, Dec. 14. You must go by the IC and sign up. It will be first come, first served. They will also be touring Lisa’s Lights, a family effort in McAlpin to share the beauty of Christmas with everyone. Our only birthday girl for the first week of December is Jerry Carter. She celebrated her special day yesterday, Thursday, Dec. 3. Miss Jerry, we wish you the best and hope you had a delightful birthday celebration. We have no anniversaries to report this week. If you have items of interest or anything you’d like me to share with our readers, please call me at (239) 404-0329 or 658-2113, or email me at jackwdixonis@gmail.com. I am always needing more information from our residents. On the Sunday before Christmas, Rev. Billy Graham was walking down Highland Street in Mt. Holly, N.C., on his way to see a parishioner. However, he wanted to post a parcel urgently so he asked a young boy where he could find the post office. When the boy had directed him, Rev. Graham thanked him and said, “If you’ll come to the church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven.” The boy replied, “I think I’ll give your sermon a miss. If you don’t even know your way to the post office, how will you lead me to heaven?” It was Christmas Eve at the meat counter, and a woman was anxiously picking over the last few remaining turkeys in the hope of finding a large one. In desperation she called over a shop assistant and said, “Excuse me. Do these turkeys get any bigger?” “No, madam,” he replied, “they’re all dead.” May you always have love to share, cash to spare, tires with air, and friends that care. And never forget who is in charge. Isaiah 40:28–31.
EDGEWOOD TERRACE Sandra Kelly, Reporter
Hello again, ET. Martha Capallia celebrated a birthday on Dec. 2, and Karen Pluhar will celebrate on Dec. 7. May your birthdays be sprinkled with so much joy and laughter that it lasts all year long! Our cool weather is finally here. It feels good right now, but I hate to think what the freezing temperatures will do to my garden. I hope you have taken precautions to protect your vulnerable houseplants. I remember a Christmas Eve in 1989 that my husband, kids and I left home early to drive to my brother’s home to enjoy a family get-together. That was
9
about a 2½ hour drive. The weather was warm with lots of sunshine, so we all had on shorts and sleeveless shirts. The day was wonderful. We ate like we were afraid we would never get another meal, and then we began opening gifts. The kids were playing with new toys, wrapping paper was everywhere, and everyone was laughing and talking. It was chaos, but happy chaos. Then the wind came up and the temperature began to drop. Clouds scudded across the sky and the temperature continued to drop. The shorts and sleeveless shirts proved to be no match for the worsening climate. Manfully, we braved it out, but eventually we had to pile back into the car and head home. The temperature continued to drop. By the time we made it home, it was after dark, and the temperature was hovering at 30 degrees. All my plants on the deck, some purchased as Christmas gifts, were frozen solid. Then, it began to snow. What is it they say about Florida weather? If you don’t like the current conditions, wait five minutes, and the elements will change. Truth! Don’t forget: We are adopting the residents of DM. Each resident has provided a wish list so you will be able to supply a new Christmas gift for a resident in the $15–25 range. These will be wrapped and delivered to Crystal Delcastillo, manager of Dacier. We hope to have 30 families/residents of ET involved, BUT, you are NOT required to participate. This is voluntary participation only. If you prefer to donate the money instead of doing the actual shopping, let me (850-766-3133) or Verna Piper (658-3753) know, and we will assist. Several people have already picked out the requests they want to supply, but we have more available. On Dec. 1, Cleo’s Meeting House was open for the first game night. We didn’t get around to playing any games, but we did have a good time meeting, sharing information, and learning about one another. Did you know that Marilyn and Al Yale have been married 63 years? Or that Terry Fall has donated a CD player so we can enjoy Christmas music next time we meet? Or that Verna Piper likes sliced Granny Smith apples smeared with peanut butter? I better not pass on all of the things we shared. I wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble! See what you missed by not being there? You’ll have additional chances every Monday night from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. On Friday, Dec. 4, we will begin a Bible Study from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to continue every Friday evening. Mark the date! On Dec. 16, there will be a Christmas open house for ETe at Cleo’s Meeting House, 1:00–4:00 p.m. Plan to drop by to meet neighbors you may not know and to check out the changes being made. Remember, this is YOUR meeting place so COME ON DOWN!

The first anniversary celebration coming up this month of December belongs to Don and Pat Sinclair on the 9th. Just a week away ... almost. I hope they have the energy to celebrate with all of the energy they’ve burned up in their gardening. WOW! Drive by and take a look. Shows what can happen when you use your imagination, which they certainly did! Any birthday that arrives here won’t be for another three weeks, so hold on to that thought. Thanksgiving was full this year, as always, and I mean the dinners we took home from the dining room. Wow, I say, we’ll eat them for a few more days, and hopefully enjoy them as much as the first time. Actually, we enjoyed having everything just staring at us, and all we had to do was pick out what we wanted and warm it up! How simple can it get? No shopping, and no rush to get it ready. First class, people, first class!
To show you missed opportunities, here is a sad story for you ... and me. When I was transferred so many years ago to a warm position in a building (instead of outdoor work year-round, any weather, any time of day or night, etc., etc.), I had to move for peace of mind and also for safety reasons. Rotating shifts are okay if you live a mile from home, but many miles make for sleepy driving. My dad offered me my grandmother’s house for $28K, next door to my folks, and it was (is) a beautiful two story home, large attic, and good size basement, something we never hear of in Florida. I couldn’t drive those miles back and forth to my work for years to come before I retired, so we found a home just a couple of miles or less from my new location of employment. Remember the price I mentioned above that I was offered? Last year, the home I passed up (for good reason) was listed for $466K and sold for $445K! The passing of years certainly made a huge difference in home prices, but that is almost ridiculous! Well, that’s the way it goes. We can’t imagine the future and how it will change, so we just go on about our lives and change with the changes. I don’t like to seemingly talk about my life all the time, but the column would be about an inch long if I waited for local news items. So, folks, if there are any persons within the POP population that would like a career here, talk to me. There are no charges and no exams for this job, just remember the birthdays and the anniversaries on time! Have a happy season and pray for an end to this separation of folks and events we so much look forward to. Amen.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
LIVE! AT DOWLING PARK 32ND SEASON – A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE VIA TV2 AND ACV’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Due to COVID-19, all of the 2020-21 Live! at Dowling Park in-person performances were canceled. However, we have arranged seven virtual concerts to air over the next five months — on both TV2 and YouTube. We are not selling tickets for these events; they are complimentary to all ACV members. However, we welcome any donations you would like to give to help continue the Live! at Dowling Park artist series in future years. (See Darleen Hinrichs in CVH for more information.) To accommodate both our on-campus and off-campus members, each concert will not only air on TV2 at 8:00 p.m., but will also be available on ACV’s YouTube channel the same nights from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (www.youtube.com/AdventChristianVillage).
Con Brio Duo Tuesday, Dec. 22 (replay Friday, Dec. 25)

Nathaniel Gumbs, Organist Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021 (replay Friday, Feb. 26)
Nathaniel is the Director of Chapel Music at Yale University. Not your average organist, you’ll have to watch closely to see his fingers and feet as they deftly fly over the keys of the massive pipe organ. This longtime church musician grew up at Trinity Baptist Church in the Bronx. In 2012, he organized music for plenary sessions of the Democratic National Convention
10
in Charlotte, NC. In 2017, he was named in the “Top 20 under 30” by The Diapason magazine.
ACV GIFT CERTIFICATES Did you know you can purchase gift certificates for some ACV services and the four Village shops? They make great gifts for your ACV family, friends and neighbors. They’re also a great gift for you! One member sent a letter to her children this year explaining that she would rather receive ACV gift certificates than other Christmas gifts they might give to her. Certificates are available for any amount.
ACV Housekeeping gift certificates may be purchased from the Village cashier’s office.
Reloadable ACV Dining Service gift cards that act like credit cards may be purchased from the Village cashier’s office or from the Lopin’ Gopher.
Village Grocer gift certificates may be purchased from the Grocer.
Gift certificates to the Rustic Shop, Riverside Gifts or either of the Twice Nice shops may be purchased from either the Village cashier’s office or from the three shops at the VS.
FNN HIDE-AND-SEEK Did you find your name? Somewhere hidden within this FNN are two randomly selected ACV member names and one randomly selected ACV staff member name. Your name could be hidden in an article, in an advertisement, or even within the menu. It’s a month-long contest in each of the four December FNNs. Examples of names NOT hidden: Chuck and Peggy Eckel hosted a River Woods gathering last Saturday in their home. A secret admirer left another surprise in Kathy Bochow’s post office box. Examples of hidden names: This is the last week to put Tom Easter in your shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse. Hamburger $2.98, or Marty Nickerson $1.98. If you find your name hidden within an FNN in December, bring that FNN (to show us where you found it) along with your ID badge before the next FNN is printed (the following Wednesday night), and you will receive a gift certificate for a free salad or sandwich at the Lopin’ Gopher. Happy hunting!
THANK YOU Special blessings to so many nice folks who gave me gifts and a multitude of cards and phone calls. It not only makes an old lady of 97 feel so blessed but very fortunate to be among so many friends and loving neighbors.
Joan Downie, Pat Mosely and Abigail Heflin shared my table on Thanksgiving with a pitch-in feast of excellent food and cozy conversations. Good food and special friends are two of God’s greatest gifts to us all.
Marti Lewis Thank you for praying for my daughter, Pam Raulerson, for her back surgery. She is home and seems to be doing well. Thanks again.

These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

How to beat Str8ts — Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. Rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. Each compartment needs to be filled in with numbers that complete a straight: a run of numbers that can be in
any order, e.g., 4-2-3-5. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Blank black cells may represent one number vertically, but a different number horizontally. See last week’s solution on the back as an example.
