THE GROVER NEWS “FOR THE GROVE FAMILY, BY THE GROVE FAMILY”
It’s October already and only two months left in 2015. My how time flies!!
The second phase construction has started the paving process and streets are taking shape. It’s really looking good (see map and pictures further in
newsletter). After the construction and dust has been completed, we will have
new lights, benches refinished, and painting in pavilion done around the lake. Our Comedy Mystery Theater was a great success with standing room only in
clubhouse. The cast was great with a little adlibbing in some spots. The audience
(deputies as they were called) were really into their part and had a lot of laughs. Rose Jordan and Althia Fox would like to thank our cast and all the people who
came to see the performance. Also, a thank you to Susan Rowlett (Understudy)
and John Stetz (video) for stepping in and helping at the last minute. Our snowbirds are slowly coming back and it’s great to see them again. They will
be seeing a lot of new faces and homes that have arrived since they left.
Our Labor Day Celebration was another success with a full club house even though it came a downpour of rain as everyone was arriving. Our menu of
bratwurst, hot dogs, baked beans, salads, desserts was enjoyed by all. Afterwards,
several enjoyed the music by the pool (see more in newsletter). Movie night started the first Thursday with “Gone Fishn’”. Everyone was
laughing and enjoying the popcorn and drink. We will have “The Ghost & Mr.
Chicken” for this month. Wii Bowling practice produced 6 teams of 4 people. Several people knew how to
bowl and others quickly learned. If your not on a team come and cheer them on.
Line dancing started back and several new residents came to join us. We only reviewed dances that we had already learned.
Don’t forget you can purchase a gate remote from Patrick at the office.
This month look for our luau fish fry with prizes and raffles, meet & greet breakfast, Halloween golf cart race and party with prizes.
Hope everyone is enjoying the football games and all our activities at the clubhouse.

The Carnival Cruise for The Grover’s has been cancelled for January 3rd
First Thursday in month @ 6:00 pm For the first showing there was a great turn-out. The showing of
“Going Fishn” was very funny with a lot of laughter. Around 20
bags of popcorn were sold for a $1. Our next show will be “The
Ghost & Mr. Chicken” with Don Knotts, since its Halloween month
and our $1 popcorn & drink. Show starts at 6:00 1st Thursday of
each month. We do need suggestions of what you would like to see.
So please put your movie title or type of movie in the suggestion box
at the clubhouse.
GAMING GALS
September games were great.
We played "Say Anything" and got to discuss a lot! One discussion was
ladies intimates’ apparel and one of the interesting conclusions was that guys
were lucky they do not have to wear them. We are still in need of a volunteer
for October’s game, just let me know if you can host it and I'll get the
communications out (and if you don't have games, I have more to choose
from).
Right now we are meeting at someone’s house for games & lunch. If it gets
larger we will have to meet at the clubhouse. Please call Bunny Ziska if you
would like to join.
Thought you might enjoy a couple photos from the games.
All for now,
Bunny
Enjoying a light lunch and games
COMEDY MYSTERY THEATER PRODUCTION
Our Deputies Our cast
Our play “Eat, Drink, Be Married” was a great success. We have had great reviews and asking about another play. Our cast members were so happy that we had a standing room only audience. We had such fun and may I say a lot of adlibbing. A lot of laughing and wondering who done it. Our cast consisted of Blackjack White (Merv Olewiler), Deputy Samantha Stone (Rose Jordan), Virgen White (Althia Fox), EZ Ryder (Randy Kalin), Rev. Hal Fyre (Bill Cole), Dee Vorst (Carole Deer), Rock King ( Don Roberts), Ruby Lipps (Joyce Roberts), Ace Spader (Jim Bethune), Mae B. Wilde (Bunny Ziska). Our understudy was Susan Rowlett, Music by Don Fox, and Video by John Stetz. Thank you to all who came, to the cast for their performance, and to all who helped put this performance on. Note: Our video was not of good quality which we were unhappy about. Our cast was so hoping to see themselves perform.
BIRTHDAY PIZZA BASH Last Sunday in month at 5:00 pm
Last month started our Pizza back for the birthdays in the month.
We have started a signup sheet so we will know how much to
purchase. The signup sheet will be in the clubhouse approximately a
week before the bash. So please sign up before the birthday pizza
bash. Come and join the celebration.
Note: On Sept 27 our birthday pizza bash had a good crowd even thou
it was raining and football games. Everyone welcomed the pizza back
and good response from our sign-up sheet. Thanks to everyone.

Had a good time. We had two new ladies to join our group. We missed
some of our regular ladies who didn't attend. The food was good and the
service was very good. In October, we will be going to Live Bait for
lunch in Orange Beach. If you have a place to eat in mind, just let me
know and I will contact them and see if they can accommodate a large
group. I'm sorry that all of us who had a birthday didn't get anything
from El Paso. They only give it on the date, not the month. Hope to see
you at the next luncheon. Bring a friend or visitor. They are welcome.
So be at the club house at 11 am. Stay safe and God bless.
