Activity Director

Thoughts on the Activity Director @ LVH




rt

Jacky and I were cruising the park yesterday handing out tickets for the coming catered breakfast on October 29th at 9am. We gave them to Jean Hart, Gloria Mazzeo and Betty Hanus to sell.

We were discussing what will happen next August when the Social Club Board all leave their volunteer positions to return to the community for a rest. I am sure other members who have served will understand how time consuming each of those positions are. So it is only reasonable from time to time others come forward to run the Social Club. This also injects fresh new ideas in our club which is dedicated to providing new ways for us all to have fun and be entertained.

At any rate Jacky told me about an idea that she had about directing Social Club Activities and I thought it was a good one and I am putting it down now for you to think about. She said in her ideal picture of how activities would be run in the park, several folks would volunteer to be the Activity Director for a month that they were particulairly fond of. She said her preference would be Christmas. Some of the men might like to have a huge barbecue and picnic in August or a Super Bowl Party with a rented large screen tv at the clubhouse. Maybe there is a halloween enthusiast that would like to make a haunted house.

You can see that a new Director a month would be able to throw themselves into creating a really great extravaganza and especially if they knew that once their month was over they could pass the baton to the next director ...so to speak.
