IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
In your packet that was sent out last
December there were two important forms that need to be filled out.
They are the “Pertinent Information
Sheet” and the “Next of Kin.” The
information on these forms helps
the office staff locate the proper
person(s) if there is an emergency
or other problems at your home.
Many homeowners have already
turned in their information this
year, but if you have not turned in
these sheets, we ask that you do so
as soon as possible. If you do not
have these forms, they can be found
on our website at www.oceansidevillage.com. We ask for this information every year so that we can
have the most up-to-date infor-
mation on file. We appreciate your
time and effort in this matter.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not
wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the
frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall
spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was
broken,
The crownless again shall be
king.”

COMPANY WIDE
AWARDS LUNCHEON
December 2013
By Laura Bunts
MARY HEFFLER
By Jerry Johnstone
As everyone that came to the Valentine’s Day dance knows this year
we added a little something special
which will become a tradition in
years to come. One of our snowbird
ladies made a suggestion that we
have a Valentine’s Day Queen. Everyone involved in the party thought
it was a good idea. The Valentine’s
Day Queen for 2014 is Mary Heffler. Mary was presented with a
dozen roses and was a surprised
lady. Mary does so many things to
make the village a better place that
we feel it is well deserved and we
congratulate her. Have a wonderful
year as our Valentine’s Day Queen.
The “Unsung Hero” Award recognizes an individual staff member

JERRY’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
On January 18, there was a covered
dish to celebrate Jerry’s 70th birthday. It was a fun night as Diana
used Makers Mark as the theme of
the party. Two hundred and sixty
people attended and had a real blast.
Jerry was pleased that his sister flew
in from San Antonio, Texas to celebrate with him. Everyone had a
wonderful time. An Elvis impersonator entertained the crowd for a
couple of hours. He was very good
and interacted with the crowd. All
of Diana’s family came down from
North Carolina and Jerry’s Army
buddy of 40 years attended with his
wife. All in all, it was a very special
birthday.

THE ENTERTAINMENT
COMMITTEE
BY Jerry Johnstone
Well, here we are already three
months into 2014 and thinking of
the snowbirds leaving us till next
year. As I noted in the last Inside
Oceanside I would name the winners of the Christmas Lighting
Contest and here they are. 1st Place
--- Barry & Sue Gelman at 251 Melody Gardens, 2nd Place --- Ron &
Barbara Wing at 117 Georges Bay,
3rd Place --- Gary & Nancy McCormick. A hearty congratulation to all
the winners.
We started the year with a great New
Years Eve party attended by 225
partiers entertained by the “Forever
Doo Wop” group. They have some
wonderful music and a great time
was had by all. On January 18, we
had our first breakfast of the New
Year and it was an enjoyable morning with sausage, scrambled eggs
and pancakes. Nancy McCormick,
Pam Bailey and Mary Heffler organized and an army of volunteers
made it seem easy. They deserve
an awesome thank you. We moved
onto the 28th of January and a Welcome Back Snowbirds spaghetti
dinner dance. Music was provided
by “Karen and Carl” and everyone
was glad to see them back playing
in our wonderful community center. We had over 200 attendees that
danced and ate to their hearts content. As we do every year, the Super
Bowl comes to us in February and
this year was no different. It was
a small crowd but everyone had a
good time with the majority staying
and watching the whole game. On
February 14th we had our annual
Valentine’s Day dinner dance. This
is a sit down dinner with attendees
being served a menu of sautéed
chicken with broccoli alfredo fettuccini with honey glazed carrots.
“The Fat Jack Band” again played
some great music and 220 attendees
danced the night away. Maxine Montague, Ruth Roth, Bobbie Gillespie,
Carol Botkins and a wonderful crew
of servers, ushers and decorators
made this a memorable occasion.
On February 23rd we had our annual
Horserace and covered dish dinner.
We had almost 200 people and the
food was wonderful and plenty of
it. Jack and Dee Nostrame chair this
event every year and this one was
wonderful. We had some new jockeys this year in Peggy Tulibacki,
Diana Johnstone, Pam Bailey, Jan
Bonadonna and regulars Carol Botkins and Marie Reilly. Due to Marie being under the weather Maxine
Montague took over riding duties
for Marie and did a splendid job. As
we moved into March we had many
more activities planned starting with
an I Love Oceanside Village party
March 2nd. Music was provided by
the band, Harlequin. Again, we had
the Crafts annual covered dish dinner and Chinese Auction on March
9th, a breakfast on the 15th, St.
Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance on the
16th with music by “The Party Favor Band”, Snowbird Appreciation
Day on the 18th, Cards and Games
to support Help for Kids on the 20th
and our annual Sock Hop supporting the Wounded Warrior project on
the 29th of March. Needless to say
March was a busy month.
I would also like to extend my thanks
for the support of all the snowbirds
that came to help in setting up for
all our functions. I can’t name them
all but Carl Durocher and Charlie
Carroll have been at all the set ups
and have helped clean-up and I have
come to count on them. There are so
many people that came to help and
I cannot list all their names. However, you know who you are and I
thank you over and over. I would be
remiss if I did not thank my wonderful wife Diana for all of her support
and for putting up with my idiosyncrasies. When you read this in April
the snowbirds will be gone and we
will be looking ahead to the 4th of
July and summer activities. To our
Oceanside Village family, thank you
for all your support and we invite
everyone to attend our meetings the
1st Monday of each month at 7:00
p.m. at the community center.
I LOVE OCEANSIDE
DINNER DANCE
On March 2nd, we had a great I
Love Oceanside village dinner and
dance. It was attended by 150 people and music was performed by the
band, Harlequin. We had a dinner
of pulled pork, baked beans, potato
salad and coleslaw with a cake and
pineapple coconut pudding for dessert. It was a good evening with
homeowner Marcie Evans returning for a visit from North Carolina
and a lot of her friends came to have
dinner and visit with her. We ended up giving away some great gifts
donated by OSV management of “I
Love Oceanside Village” t-shirts
and hats. Also, Tupelo Bay donated
a round of golf for two with a golf
cart. The Conch Cafe donated two
gift certificates. A print with matte
was donated by Don Hershberger
our photographer. Karen’s Hair Salon donated a haircut and the Entertainment Committee matched some
of the gifts so we had a nice array
of door prizes. Thanks to all those
who donated prizes as it made for a
fun evening. We look forward to
doing it again next year.
