Every year at this time the SKP Park supports the annual toy collection for under
privileged children. A representative from the Fire Department will be here during Social
Hour the second Friday of November at 3 pm. The fireman will tell us the history of their
involvement, how the families receiving the gifts are chosen and how the toys are
distributed.
Last year the number and types of toys collected was most impressive. We are
late to include snowbirds so everyone will need to step up with contributions of items or
money for shopping.
See you all there to learn what is needed to make a child happy at Christmas who
otherwise would not. Santa reigns again.

Social Hour Speaker scheduled for October 18, 3pm

Here’s a scenario that could happen to any of us…..

You are driving along and get plowed into by a semi truck. Needless to say there are serious injuries. You are transported to Mercy Hospital Emergency Room and are stabilized, however there are problems that they are not equipped to handle and suggest you be transported to OSHU by air ambulance. You will fly directly over the park and your trip would have been exciting if only you could have enjoyed it. A month later in your mail comes a bill for $70,000.

Were this me, I would have to file for bankruptcy. Ronald Sanders of REACH may have an alternative for us. He will explain the Reach (AirMedCare) program but not do a sales job. He will leave contact information in case you desire to join his membership.

Please attend and lend an ear!!!

Want to have the experience of a lifetime? Come to the Social Hour on Friday, October 11 at 3 pm.
A representative from the Wildlife Safari located in Winston will WOW us with information about the Park including volunteer opportunities, various animal programs and a vision of the 2nd most successful Cheetah breeding program on the earth. I assume the most successful is located in the cats native country of Africa.

The cat will be accompanied by two handlers and the Ambassador CHEETAH!!!. You do not need to fear the animal, it will be tethered with leads in the hand of each handler and has been raised to be tame and safe to be around people. You may not touch the animal nor get too close however there will be opportunities to take pictures. We will hold the event in the large room with plenty of space for the cheetah to be paraded around. I think we will be cautioned not to applaud or have loud noises.

This event was made possible thanks to our former residents Tom and Betsi Outland. Tom has volunteered at the Safari for many years and made the arrangements. Betsi will introduce the speaker. The usual charge is around $300 for an appearance however the charge is being waived for us. The Wildlife Safari is dependent on donations and volunteers to operate so lets thank them with a generous gift of appreciation to be collected at the event.

Invite your friends and should our Snowbirds be planning to head south, make sure your schedule is for a later date.
