IT’S OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU ...
word from your
executive director
Hello Woodmark Friends:
EVENT RECAP
christmas lights
Our December Christmas lights tour was just awesome. One of our “best
tours to date.” One of our favorite light displays was the “Ditto” sign ... The
home that was decorated with tons and tons of lights didn’t compare to a
small light display that just said “Ditto.” We just can’t wait to see what we find
next year on our adventures with the Christmas lights tour.
Can you believe it’s already February? Well, I think
we all know this is the month of love (Valentine’s
Day), but did you know that the months of January
and February were add-ons to our present calendar
when it changed from a 10-month to a 12-month
Roman calendar by Numa Pompilous, somewhere
around 700 BC.? Did you know February is the
only month of the year that can pass without a
single full moon, because it only has 29 days most
years? No doubt there are many more interesting
facts about our month of February, but one thing
for sure is that we will be seeing lots of flowers and
chocolate here at The Woodmark. Our activities
calendar is full of fun events and I know we will
have more than a few opportunities to get out and
enjoy our beautiful Arizona weather. Thank you for
calling The Woodmark at Sun City your home.
THIS MONTH’S
silver star
MYRNA HAWTHORNE was born in
Highland County, Ky. She grew up on a dairy
farm with her five brothers. They had to get up at
4 a.m. every day to milk 40 head of cows. She did
everything on the farm — bale hay, etc. Myrna
was a cheerleader and her brothers played on the
basketball team. They always had to finish the
chores before they could go to the games.
