New Volunteer Sign-up Program In Use
“Sign Up Genius” is now being used to inform our
residents about volunteer needs for both Resort and
C&S activities. It’s simple! Here’s how it works:
 When a new event is created, everyone receives
an email with a link to the event signup.
 Click on the event link, and after a simple sign-in
you will see all the places volunteers are needed,
and which spots are still open. You can also see
who has already signed up for the various jobs.
 Once you select a place to volunteer, you will be
all set! You will receive a reminder email 2 days
before the event.
 If we are short volunteers, additional emails can
be sent to remind you to sign up.
Several advantages to using this system will be apparent upon your first use. No phone calls, no trips to
office. Confirmation is immediate, and planners can
quickly see what positions still need volunteers.
To date, 2 events have been created and 2 emails
have been sent to everyone on Don Squire’s email list.
More activities will be added soon, and we will be using the resort email list as soon as we are able to organize it. Please keep both the office and Don Squires
informed of any changes to your email address.
To see a demonstration of “Sign Up Genius” or to
have someone assist you in signing up, come to the
resort coffee hour on May 16 at 8:30 am. We will
demonstrate and assist you with signups. Thanks for
your support!

Phil’s Corner
In 1995, Tama and I left our careers in education and moved
“home.” It was a hard time; my brother Ric had died in an accident
that winter, and the Christian school where I worked was closing.
We made a two year commitment to help my parents, and moved
into the old house where I grew up.
When we learned the next Spring that
Tama was pregnant, we could think of
no better place to raise a family. And we
were right. When Joseph Richard was
born that October, he had more loving
grandparents “than Carter’s has pills.”
Many of you have watched Joseph grow
into an exceptional and talented young
man. You’ve been part of our family in
countless ways, and we truly appreciate
your participation in Joseph’s upbringing. We are blessed.
Joseph graduates this month, and we’re inviting you all to come
celebrate at his party on Sat., May 30. We’ll have a Open House
picnic from 1 to 4 pm, and the VHS “Top Dogs” jazz band will perform at 2 pm. Bring a lawn chair and come join us at the big tent.
Graduation’s not the only milestone this summer. We celebrated
our 35th anniversary in April, it’s our 20th year here at the resort,
and we’re celebrating the Resort’s 50th in June! Hold on to your
hats! It’s going to be a great summer!
God Bless,
Phil

starting the day with a “Welcome Back” coffee.
There will be free coffee and Sweetwater doughnuts for everyone wearing their Resort name tag,
starting at 8 am while supplies last!
Also at the clubhouse, volunteers will assist with
helping people use “Sign Up Genius.” Anyone leading resort activities is invited to share about their
plans for this summer. If you play cards, enjoy a
craft or activity, or help out with Carer’s and Sharers,
come tell our new residents and guests about it!
Open House Visitors start at the office, where
they will receive a “visitor’s pass” and have the option to take golf cart tours and the chance to view
homes “for sale.”
Thank you to Comcast for helping with doughnuts for this event. A Comcast rep will be on hand to
answer questions and assist with services.

Annual Notice Regarding Davis Drive
“A Court Order was entered in the St. Joseph
County Circuit Court which limits the use of
Davis Drive to the owners of lots in Summer Haven Subdivision and/or their guests or invitees.
Residents of the Resort shall not use Davis Drive
for ingress and egress to Klines Resort or for recreational purposes and may only use Davis Drive
if they are guests or invitees or a lot owner in
Summer Haven Subdivision.”
Please note: This notice is required as part of an out-ofcourt settlement with several neighbors who object to
any interference on their property from the resort.
Should you encounter problems with any of these
neighbors, please report it to management or the office
as soon as possible. Thanks!
The COA celebrated their 1st year at Klines Resort in April. Over 3,000 meals were served and 450
