Aripeka West News
Here’s what’s happing in our neck of the woods… January 2012
A Message from BJ...
I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. 2012 is going to be a wonderful year here at Aripeka West. We have so many projects and events planned for the coming year. I hope you will be happy with the improvements when they are com-pleted. Also please join in the fun at the many events we will sponsor throughout the year.
In the works...
We are currently working on remodeling #164, #165, #188 and #197 in the Mobile Home Park and hope to have them rented soon. We have recently completed adding electricity to the Pavilion at the Campfire, this will make having parties and events at the Campfire much easier. Also in the works for the new year is re-modeling the restrooms in the RV Park, just waiting for a time when we can give our full attention to this project to minimize the down time.
Please take a walk on our trail in the RV Park, it is just a short , easy walk. We have been planting flowers along the way and will do more planting in the Spring.
We will have a “Pot Luck Supper†on Thursday January 19, 2012 . The fun be-gins at 6PM. This will be a “real†Pot Luck, just bring what-ever you like, anything at all. The last time we did this it the food was awesome and we didn’t have two the same. Please remember to bring whatever you need to serve your Pot Luck Dish . We will have soft drinks and plates, nap-kins ,etc. We will also have Karaoke! Come join in the fun!
Pot Luck Supper...
Be considerate…
It’s contagious!
Keep your music at a volume that does not disturb others.
If you smoke, dispose of cigarette butts properly and empty the ashtray when you are finished.
Remember that the restrooms are a “No Smoking Areaâ€, it seems that some may not have noticed the signs.
Please DO NOT flush paper towels or sanitary products down the toilet in your RV, Mobile Home or the Public Restrooms, our sewer system can not handle them. Our sewer system is easily clogged and no one wants to have their toilet back up.
Please clean up after your dogs and remember they must be on a leash when they are outside and that the leash must have the dog’s Human on the other end, lately dogs have been ob-served on a leash, but apparently walking themselves, no hu-man involved. Your dog must be under your control at all times.
We all know that dogs bark, but please if your dog is on a lead outside, investigate what the barking is about and bring your dog inside so it does not disturb your neighbor with continued barking.
The speed limit in Aripeka West is 10 MPH, please do not ex-ceed the limit.
There is no feeding the wildlife, so please, no food is to be left on the Pavilions.
The RV Park is getting close to full , so now more than ever it is so important to follow the rules and use common courtesy.
Let’s make Aripeka West enjoyable for all!
Recipe for a Happy New Year. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Anonymous
Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short, see that these months are freed from all the past—have them fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time. Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot this way) but prepare one day at a time.
Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest), hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad dressing— don’t do it), prayer, meditation, and one well-selected resolution. Put in about one teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
