Time is Relentless...
Time and health... Something we all could use more of..
It seems as your time goes forward your health slowly inches backward. In this community you become acutely aware of this.. Not so much in a traditonal neighborhood where there are children and younger adults.
Time has come for newer and mostly younger residents in our little community to take on the mantle of leadership in community activities. I watch our older citizens enjoying a social gathering at the clubhouse and wonder about the dynamics of various groups... The old timers eventually move from committees and leaders to enjoying their community as ordinary citizens and the younger folks take up the positions of leadership and work and move forward. So it has been, and hopefully will be into the future.
Sometimes the community experiences a void as one group of leaders move out and none replace them. It has happened here and probably will again. After a time someone will ask, "Why don't we do this or that?" Then we are off to the races as new interactions take hold and new and modified old ideas come forward.
This time is coming to LVH again as the Social Club gears up to find community leaders for next year's officers. Every year we experience this and every year not many want to volunteer. This year has found me slowing down health wise and as a result many of my activities have not been done as well as I had wished. Jacky too has got a case of the "tireds". We aren't bailing out but we are asking more of you to consider helping.. We may not be doing a lot of the things we have always done but will still help when we can...
I look to past experience and cite here Betty Hanus.. She has been with the Social Club for about 14 years and has helped all that time and volunteered at the aquarium too. How long can she give herself away? I don't know but I suspect less. So it is with everyone of us.
Attend meetings, plan activities and serve your community .. a good thing to do.

Newport News-Times: Samaritan's MRI unit now a permanent fixture in Newport: "A bright blue sky with a few puffy white clouds and blooming trees is the view patients see on the ceiling of the new room housing the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital (SPCH) in Newport.
The hospital recently installed a permanent MRI to replace the mobile unit that visited the hospital. The new MRI room is spacious and bright with hardwood floors. Technologists see about eight to 12 patients each day during the week - Monday through Friday."

'Grannies for Peace' Member Lillian Willoughby, 93, Remembered | Crooks and Liars
'Grannies for Peace' Member Lillian Willoughby, 93, Remembered | Crooks and Liars: "I still remember the day the Grannies for Peace were arrested, and thought it was important to note this member's passing. Lillian Willoughby's commitment to peace is a real inspiration - I can't imagine going to jail at any age, let alone at 89:
Lillian Pemberton Willoughby, 93, of Deptford, a retired dietitian and Quaker activist who went to jail to protest the war in Iraq three months before her 90th birthday, died Jan. 15 at home."
