From the smiles on their faces, I think Martini Night was a huge success!

Girls Gone Fishin'!

Thanks to Max Wood for the great photos. Her quote to go along with them is, "Yup, more grandkids visiting Max and Dale Wood. This time it's the girls fishing from the boat dock and they are reelin' them in. . . catfish, bluegill & sunfish!" Way to go, girls!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Harbor Hills 4.0 mens team on their district win. Team members include Imri Jensen, William Seese, Bengali Raoof, Bill Glisson, John Natolly, Bob Murphy, Rick Welborne and Jim Carter. Congratulations should also go to those who represented Harbor Hills in the recent Senior Games. Paula Smith and Betsy Applebaum won the gold medal for ladies doubles. Paula Smith also won a silver medal in singles and Celia Lombardi and Marilyn Bell won the bronze medal for doubles in their age division. We are proud of you!

Thank you, Bob Hamel!

When I posted last week about the beautiful new American flag and the flags for each branch of the service behind the 16th green at the Harbor Hills Veteran's Memorial, I did not know the whole story. I now know that these flags and poles were donated by member and resident, Bob Hamel. Thank you, Mr. Hamel, for your selfless generosity!

Just Arrived!

Harbor Hills is pleased to announce that we have just purchased a Toro Groundsmaster 3500-D Sidewinder. It is a revolutionary triplex rotary mower designed for superior performance trimming. The free-floating Countour TM Plus cutting decks allow mowing of undulating terrain without scalping. The center deck slides out to allow the cutting of areas that other mowers cannot get to. The cost of this unit was $28,000.00. This new piece of equipment will help us do a better job of trimming and detailing grees, tees and bunkers.

Catch of the Day

Thanks to Bill Murn for sharing this great photo. He wants you all to know that big fish continue to be caught in our canal!

Resident and Member Directory

Our own resident and member, Larry Bayless, has been working hard in the wee hours of every morning volunteering his time to compile updated information to print a Resident and Member Directory for Harbor Hills. He has most of the data collected but has very few email addresses. There is a copy of the draft of the directory at the reception desk of the club. Please stop by to verify that your listing information is correct and, if you would like, add your email address. If you have any questions about the directory project, please contact Larry Bayless at lbayless1@earthlink.net or Regi Chapin at regi@atlantic.net.

Flags Flying

Have you seen the new flags at the Harbor Hills Veterans Memorial? The American flag is flanked by the flags of the four branches of the military to honor each of those branches of service.

New Mascot?

We are all used to seeing peacocks at Harbor Hills. But a pheasant? I didn't know they lived in Florida. Russell has had one take residence in the cart barn. No, the pheasant is not available for dinner invitations!

Beautiful Boat!

You may have read in the most recent issue of the Harbor Hills Views that Bill Murn had beeen restoring a Phillippine mahogany boat with ash trim that he and his father had built in the early 1950's. Here is the after picture! Isn't it beautiful? The boat recently made an appearance in the Mt. Dora Antique Boat Show.
