VillageWalk CERT Our next meeting is

November 15th at 6:00 p.m.

CERT is a group of community volunteers trained by our local fire department to be first responders in emergency situations such as hurricanes and tornadoes. The team is activated by Bonita Springs Fire and Rescue during such emergencies.

We meet the second Wednesday of each month at the Town Center. We discuss plans for emergency situations and refresh our training to enable us to better function as a team. We always seek more volunteers to better address emergency events. Residents interested in joining should contact Nicole Hornberger at Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue, phone (239) 949-6227, email [email protected].

If you would like more information or have any questions, please email [email protected].

The Cancer Crusaders The Cancer Crusaders are a group of Village Walk cancer survivors and friends who are dedicated to helping find a cure for cancer, to supporting organizations that provide services to cancer patients, and to reaching out to those in Village Walk who have been touched by cancer.

We offer a forum for those who have been impacted by cancer - survivors, caregivers, and anyone who would like to be involved. We offer support, information, or just a few words of encouragement from “someone who has been there.”

Additionally, we support Komen for the Cure of Southwest Florida with a fundraising event held in the fall and with team participation in the Race for the Cure held annually in March. We also support the American Cancer Society with fundraising events and participation in the Relay For Life of Bonita Springs-Estero in early spring

If you would like to be involved with our group, you may contact: Caryl Rumble, 239-390-5032, [email protected]; Kelley Short, 239-250-6375, [email protected]; Jan Forster, 617-257-0934, [email protected].

HOOKED ON BOOKS I WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2017We will meet at 1:00 p.m. in the Hibiscus Room at the Town Center to discuss “A Gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles with Nina Irraggi leading the discussion. In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.Please call Dorothy at 390-9417 if you want to be put on our waiting list.

It is not a matter of having to lead the discussion, we simply want the input of the person that has chosen the book to gain valuable insight.We have great suggestions lined up for January and February so bring your titles and be able to share them. We look forward to seeing you then!

GUINIVERE WAY STREET GET TOGETHER

IRMA BROUGHT OUT THE BEST OF VILLAGE WALKEd Gray - Tiger Barb Way

A big bad wolf named IRMA came,Last week, to blast our town;

Along with rain, it huffed and puffed,To blow our houses down.

This hurricane and all it’s stress,Arrived without an equal;

But what shone through for Village Walk,Arose among our people.

We all felt stress in such a surge,It can’t be minimized;

Concern for others also came…It sure was emphasized.

In times of need, the urge to help,Is what we feel the most;

As we reach out, our empathy,Comes in its largest dose.

In stressful times like hurricanes,We all get such a lift;

To help our friends and neighbors is,Like giving each a gift.

This gift of caring makes us feel,Somewhat like Christmas elves;The best way we help others is,

The giving of ourselves.

THANKS TO EVERYONE…WE ALL GOT THROUGH IRMA BETTER
