Jack and I wish to express our sincere thanks to all our friends and neighbors at Windcrest for your cards and phone calls of sympathy upon the sudden passing of my brother, Bill. Your caring means so much to us. Our heartfelt appreciation to all of you. Dee and Jack Willoe

Many, many thanks to my wonderful Windcrest East neighbors and friends who supported and

encouraged me throughout my six month battle with lymphomic brain cancer. The many calls, beautiful

cards and heartfelt words of encouragement never ceased. Your personal prayers kept me focused on the

positive when I was most needy and afraid. I am especially grateful to my car-ride buddies who drove

me to NYC for treatment. Last week my doctors told me that the cancer has completely left my body. It is a

miracle and all of you helped that happen. I love you all. Patrick Welby

PAST EVENTS

On Friday April 25, fifty-three friends and neighbors gathered in the Club House for an enjoyable

evening of Bingo. There was coffee, cakes and cookies and plenty of conversation. In addition to the

standard variations of the simple Bingo Game we also played Lines and Sit Down Bingo. Everyone

seemed to have a great time especially those who went home winning.

I want to thank my wife Rosalie for registering those who would be playing and being the cashier;

Annette Blasi and Lucille Guarasci for shopping and setting up the snacks; George Fischetti for

helping to set up the Club House and calling back the winning Bingos; Tony Blasi for helping to set

up the Club House and keeping track of called numbers for each game; and all the other people

who helped to clean up afterwards. Surely, this event would not have been the success that it was

without your help. Stuart Rock

THIS & THAT

WE ARE PROUD

I am proud to share with you that my grandson, Andrew Caldwell Lamb, from Seattle,
