My favorite city is Paris and I have been there somewhere between 15 and 20 times.

Notes from our “Social Director=
s”
Here comes= the annual BBQ, which is always a fun time. Don't forget to sign up in the lobby and be ready to wear your red, white, and blue (or color of choice).
The sun has been shining, rain has been falling, so fl= owers have been growing. Thanks to all w= ho have told us they are enjoying them and are pleased.
We had 13 = people go on our casino trip. A nice time= was had by all. This month we are goin= g to Diamond Jo's on Monday July 13th. = Please see the signs posted for information and sign up in either lobby. Let's see how many we can get for this = trip.
The potluck for July will be on Monday July 27th. Signs will be posted. Please try to join us for this casual get-together. The food is wonderfu= l and the company is priceless.
That's about all for this month. Keep in mind the CCM annual garage sale= in September. Start getting your thin= gs together. Have a "Happy and Safe" 4th of July!!
That's all for now
Love,=

A MESSAGE FROM MARY
This time, I need to thank all the residents in the 45 building for their co operation during the garage update. You should be in there by the end of th= is week (first week in July) and I trust you will be as happy as the 55 buildi= ng residents were. As a small token o= f thanks, all garage renters will get a couple free car washes to get your cars washe= d.
But now we will have yet another project for next month. Sorry, but we have to close= the pool for repairs and put a new roof on the pool and Club Room. You will be able to use the room during= the project. Watch for signs for when = the project starts. Contractors have assured us they can have both projects don= e in two weeks flat.
I would like to say we have had a number of residents = that send guests down to the pool to swim without coming themselves. As a reminder, the House Rules state—an= d it is posted on the wall in the pool area—that all residents must accompany th= eir guest(s) to the pool or they cannot swim. Also remind young ones to go to the rest room before they use the po= ol, “whether they have to go or not!” = We also have a limit of how many guest can come at any one time and that numbe= r is 4. Now if you have a family of fiv= e, say, of course you can bring the whole family at one time. And if you would like to have a party i= n the pool, we can make an exception, although it would be nice if the pool is not dominated to the exclusion of other residents. Perhaps, as a courtesy, if another resident should happen to come fo= r a dip, you could muster your party out of the pool until the other resident i= s done. Just follow the Golden Rule and everyth= ing will be fine. Thank you for your co operation in this matter.
Till next month, have a great one and enjoy the summer=
, it
is short in Minnesota. God Bless

THE FUNNY BONE
A young boy had just got his driver's license and aske= d his dad if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. "If you bring your grades up from = C to B, study your Bible and get your hair cut, then we'll talk about you borrow= ing the car." The boy thought abo= ut that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.=
After about six weeks his father said, "Son, I'm = really proud of you. You've brought your grades up and I've been watching you stud= ying your Bible. However, I'm a bit disappointed that you haven't had your hair cut." The lad paused a moment= then said,
"You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that and= I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Bapt= ist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's a strong argument that Jesus= had long hair too."
To which his father replied, "Did you also notice= they all walked everywhere they went?"
