Blue Heron Pines

As you know, Memorial Day is fast approaching.

We will have our “Wall of Honor” displayed on the wall inside the clubhouse. Anyone who submitted a picture the last couple of years, those photos will be displayed again this year. If you wish to have a photo displayed, please send the picture with name and branch of service rank if known, and relationship to you (Father, mother, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, friend) to Maureen.heger127@gmail.com, or drop it off at 637 Wendy Way, I will print and display it for you.

We will also have the “Honor Roll” of all names submitted displayed in the mail kiosk bulletin board, as well as on the wall. So, if you do not have a picture of someone and would like them added to the honor roll just submit their name and branch of service to Maureen. Please submit your pictures/honor roll request no later than Wednesday, May 12th. The display will go up on Friday, May 14th and will remain there till Monday, June 14th (Flag Day).

Let’s fill the area with flags to honor all veterans, even those we don’t know personally. From Friday May 21, 2021 thru Friday, June 4, 2021 we will display flags in the grassy area of the mail kiosk. If you would like to add a flag to the area in honor of your family or friends, please do so. If you are out of town and would like us to display a flag for you, please contact Maureen Heger. Help me fill the area with flags to honor all veterans, lets add a few extra flags for those who have no family around to honor them.

Any questions, please contact Maureen Heger at the email address above or 732 499-7777.

We finished part two of our Pfizer vaccine campaign here at BHP, yesterday, April 2^nd.  It was a great success with nearly 500 people receiving their second dose of the vaccine. Once again, I would like to thank all of the volunteers that made this event possible. You all are amazing and represent what is truly great about this community. You gave up your time to help, not just for a few hours but many of you worked all day (twice!) to help others.  Not only did you give your time freely to this community, but also to other communities around BHP. I heard  numerous complements expressed by people that have never been here before; some even said that they were seriously thinking of moving here when their rental time was up elsewhere. They saw so many cheerful volunteers and this amazed and gratified them.  The residents of BHP should be very proud of these volunteers.  This is the type of community that I am proud to live in.  I would also like to thank SUN and Renee for all of the support that they gave in making this happen. These two events could not have happened without their support. Thanks also to Todd Drew at the pro shop for making the parking lot available to people. Volunteers, if I failed to add your name or I didn’t spell it correctly, I am so very sorry.  Let me know so that I can correct it as I want the people here to know just how great their neighbors are. Also, for those that offered to help thank you so much. You are also appreciated.

In-side Volunteers:  Ann Marie Kulling, Pat Peterson, Bonnie Adriansen, Cheryl Bulloss, Ellie Welcome, Jae-Ann Carder, Steve Davis, Chris Ferranti, and Bev Clark.

You all kept everything flowing in the clubhouse smoothly. What a mess it would have been without you.

Out-Side:  Tom Lemke, Keith Dobbs, David Snyder, Larry Niemann, Tom Neill, Harry Bulloss, Jerry Kulling, Joe Clark, Mark Wesaw, Jim Karns, Pat Karns, Nancy Semonis, Dan Tillet, Ken Klein, Ken Granado, Barry Opfer, Tommy Goodreds, Cathy Richardson, Jim Ortiz, and Carl Festa.

You all managed the parking and shuttling, moving hundreds of bodies without any injuries and the people loved your attitudes. You also helped many into and out of vehicles that couldn’t have done it on their own.

Over-All:  Diane Baldwin (My Wife) Thank you for letting me do this and helping at every turn. Your giving means the world to me.  Yet another reason that I love you so much.

Walt
