 | Fishing Club: Fish Tales Fishing Club News - May 2013 |
 At the March meeting there were 40 members and guests, the club is growing in members and interest. The guest speaker was Capt. Art Ickenberg of West Marine and Boat US. He brought in and demonstrated many safety items that should be on our boats. Life
vests, flares and flare guns, radio, GPS, ditch bag, and other items, with explanations of what they were and how they worked.
Everyone wonders how an inflatable life vest works, so .... Capt. Art had one of our members put one on. He asked him to pull the line, rather than toss him in

| WOWS: Women of the Woodlands - May 2013 |
 So many dishes to choose from…so little time! That must have been what the ladies were thinking when they approached the buffet table at the April annual “covereddish” luncheon. Once again, the members outdid themselves with a sumptuous array of delectable dishes filled with meatballs, sausage & peppers, fried chicken, spring rolls, salads, desserts…and oooohhhh those Texas potatoes!!
Barbara K. and Marianne F. certainly did one heck of a job calling and organizing such an outstanding
event. And to all those members who out-did themselves with their culinary creations…we’ll meet you at the bathroom scale.
Plans were finalized for the Hard Rock Casino bus trip for Thursday, May 23rd. The cost is $20 (payable in advance). The bus will pick us up at our clubhouse parking lot at 8:15am and will leave the Casino promptly at 3:15pm. The trip is open to all residents, members and guests. Please call Margaret M. to make a confirmed reservation or to answer any questions.
Our next, and final, meeting of the 2012/13 season is the installation luncheon on Wednesday, May 15th, 12 noon at the Gulf Harbors Yacht Club. Cost is $13.50 which includes tax, tip and dessert. Please call Barbara K. for menu selection and to make a reservation.
The book club has opted to continue to meet during the summer months. May’s book choice is Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. The discussion will be held at Earline Churbuck’s on Tuesday, May 21st at 1:00pm. Please call Earline for directions to her home.
Our final charitable collection for the year is in progress for the Salvation Army’s Center of Hope Women’s shelter. Collection baskets are located in the clubhouse along with lists of items needed. We will be accepting donations until May 15th. When I spoke with the director there, she told me that the Sweetbay stores that closed recently were one of their main sources of food donations…and that since that resource has dried up, they are now in desperate need of food. Please find it in your hearts to consider donating to this worthy cause.
Looking forward to a relaxing summer on the Gulf.
Yours in friendship,
Margaret, President.

| GHWA Official: Woodlands Set New Price For FOBs |
 At the board meeting of April 17, the Board unanimously voted to increase the cost of FOBS for access to the community’s amenities. The price of a fob is $25 (non-refundable). The fob gives access to the Pool, Tennis Court and Boat Ramp. Each residence may have a maximum of 2 active fobs.
This was done to help curb unauthorized lending or giving of the FOBs to nonresidents.
