Blue Heron Pines

The Blue Heron Pines Races took place Saturday night April 13, and the crowd turned out in force. The gamblers, horses and jockeys were all in splendid form. The races were unpredictable and many were neck in neck. This is always a fun time and this year we would like to thank Joe & Judy Casimir for running the event. In addition it takes many volunteers to pull these events off and though too numerous to mention here, a big Thank You goes out to all of them…your friends and neighbors appreciate what you do.

We have no resident information for the addresses below.
Communication is essential in any community and the Resident Directory, is an important part of that process. Emergency notices, residents contacting each other, HOA records are all important functions.

The BHP Bean Bag Baseball Playoffs were held today at Clubhouse Park. Both the fans and players were ready to play some ball. Competition was brutal but in the end the true champions emerged. Coming from a 9-1 deficit in the first game to win a seed and continuing on to take the BHP Bean Bag Baseball Championship. Congratulations to the Trailer Nasty Team and their scoring prowess to go undefeated in the playoffs.

Spring

In a very nice ceremony last night at the HOA Meeting the Blue Heron Pines
Quilters presented two beautiful patriotic quilts to two very deserving
veterans living in our community.

Tim McPhillips, served in the United States Air Force from 1967 to 1971, and
some of that time was served in Cam Rhan Bay, Vietnam. Tim and his wife
Judy, hail from Canfield, Ohio, and have been

Married for 35 years.

Ken Ramsey, served our country for 20 years in the United States Air Force
from 1954 to 1974. Ken served 4 plus years in Washington, DC, and was
stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. He served 11
years as an electronics supervisor with the Strategic Air Command. Ken and
his wife were married in 1957, and after retirement moved to Blue Heron
Pines in 1998.

Congratulations to both men for their service and sacrifice to our country.
Thank you for your service.

Also congratulations to the Blue Heron Pines Quilters, such a thoughtful and
heartfelt thing to do by donating two beautiful quilts and to say thank you
to these fine gentlemen.

Special recognition to:

Liz Black, Nancy Kelly, Kathleen Langman, Eileen Porter for helping with the
presentation, and to the entire group of BHP Quilters for their
