A Note from the President September brings a change of season and along with that lots of changes here in Heritage Pines. One of the most important things the Board needs to announce is that the clubhouse will remain open until mid-January. It was originally thought that we would be able to begin work on the renovations by Nov. 1, but there is no way that all of the proposals will be completed and reviewed in the next 6 weeks. The Board wants to be very sure that we get high quality materials and the best workmanship available for the best price.
It has been our policy to receive three
proposals for all services and purchases and this will apply to all of the
Clubhouse
Karen Bayless, our community manager who has
worked very hard for Heritage Pines, has resigned from Dickson Properties.
Laura Caldwell has been designated to be our new community manager. Laura
will begin
Betty Landes will continue to be in charge of
taking care of all landscaping questions and will be the contact for
Brickman Landscaping. If you are For other questions or concerns that are not related to landscaping, you may put your questions signed and in writing in the Suggestion Box. The box is emptied weekly. If your question is of a more immediate concern, you may contact me during the normal office hours of Mon.-Fri. from 8:30 am to 4:00pm.
Margaret Fox and Louise Williams have
volunteered to co-chair the I would also like to thank Liz Mongrain , who has volunteered to decorate the clubhouse for the holidays again this year. Liz will be looking for her "elves" to help out. Don’t forget to check out the upcoming autumn events. There will be many fun activities.
Looking forward to seeing you out and about,

meeting twice a month to prepare items to be distributed to patients at Rex
Hospital. Some ladies have only been able to join us a few times but there
are about a dozen who are there every other week doing whatever needs to be
done. We also have a group of ladies who work at their homes.
Lois Copeland from Rex Volunteer Services has
been our representative from Rex Hospital. She visits us about every three
months to pick up our completed projects. She always tells stories of how
our projects have been used and brings supplies and ideas for new projects.

given to Rex Hospital. These items are cut out, sewed, stuffed, appliquéd,
knitted and crocheted to become baby hats and blankets, incubator covers,
adult lap robes and pillows, tote bags and pillows, drain bags, amenity bags

Alan J. Roos, Sr.
This year’s volunteer grant from the -
2009 Jimmy V. Celebrity Golf Classic‖ is being awarded posthumously to two
long- time volunteers, Alan J. Roos, Sr. and Charles W. Halloran, Sr. Al
Roos was a resident of Heritage Pines and his son, John Roos, tells about
his dad.
The timing of the first classic matched up well
with his retirement from IBM. Having lost a son, Andrew to cancer in 1979,
Al had a strong personal interest to join the fight against cancer.
He truly enjoyed volunteering for the Jimmy V
each year and having the opportunity to meet celebrities and make new
friends. After 10 years, his health declined, so he hung up his "hush ya’ll"
sign but remained a contributor to The V Foundation for the rest of his
life. He passed away in November, 2008. His wife, Marge, is a HP resident.
John Roos carries on his father’s commitment by
participating in the classic and in 2007, joined the Board of Directors of
the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic.
The grant awarded to Al is being used for cancer
research in his memory through Shiaowen David Hsu, MD, PhD at Duke
University Medical Center. |
