Our Mission Statement
Established on Christian principles,
Bay Village of Sarasota, Inc.
offers a dynamic, secure and comprehensive
residency for older adults, providing meaningful
community life with continuing care.
It’s that time of year again! Time to honor our
exemplary group of volunteers with our annual
Volunteer Luncheon. Each year, Bay Village Volunteers
give tens of thousands (no kidding) of hours of time
running everything from the Library to the Gift Shop to
the Country Store.
This year, our theme is “Our Volunteers Are the Perfect
Ingredients!” Even if you don’t cook, everyone knows
what happens when you combine all the “perfect”
ingredients when creating a favorite recipe, right? A
delicious combination working together with one goal
in mind: SUCCESS.
Join us on Thursday, May 30, at 12:30 p.m. in the
dining room for another DELICIOUS lunch and some
fun surprises. Everyone who volunteers in any capacity
should receive an invitation in the next two weeks.
Don’t forget to drop the R.S.V.P. card in the basket by
the Resident Services office! If you volunteer and do
not receive an invitation, please call us at ext. 4005 so
we can get you one!

Village Vibes
History of
Memorial Day
Memorial Day,
originally called
Decoration Day, is a
day of remembrance
for those who died in
our nation’s service. It
was officially
proclaimed on May 5,
1868, by a general. It
was first observed on
May 30, 1868, when
flowers were placed
on the graves of
Union and
Confederate soldiers
at Arlington National
Cemetery. At Bay
Village, we honor our
fallen soldiers during
our annual Memorial
Day Ceremony. Join us
on Monday, May 27,
at 11 a.m. in the
auditorium.
Following the
ceremony, our
Memorial Day picnic
will be held in the
dining room at noon,
2 p.m. or 4 p.m..
Reserve your time
soon by calling ext.
2113! Happy
Memorial Day,
everyone!
Entertainment Programs

soprano; Steve McCoy, piano; and Tim
O’Connor, baritone. All professional

the Greek” starring Anthony
Quinn; The James Bond thriller

Roger Moore; “Captain Corelli’s
Mandolin” starring Nicholas Cage

The Village Vibes
Day Trips and Travel
We had to change the date for our EPCOT trip for the “Flower & Garden
Festival.” The new date is May 16 and you will receive a flyer in your mailbox with
more details soon, including lunch plans at a new wine/tapas bar in the ITALY
pavilion and a wonderful dinner in the FRANCE pavilion. This trip “counts” as a
credit in the “Walk Across Europe” wellness event!
We will also head to ECHO in Ft. Myers again this month. ECHO stands for
“Education Concerns for Hunger Organization.” They focus on educating
community development volunteers with the skills and knowledge they need
when they go to assist in poor countries. They even have a seed farm that provides
free samples to poor farmers. This trip has been well received by our group in the
past, so if you haven’t been to ECHO and would like to learn more about what
they do, join us on May 22~the departure time will be listed on your flyer.
B.I.L.L. Series News
Our current series is a documentary
by Ken Burns, “The Tenth Inning.”
We hope you will join us for this
unforgettable series whether or not
you are a baseball fan, as this is also
a lesson in recent American history.
Combining extraordinary highlights,
stunning still photographs, and
insightful commentary by players,
managers and fans, The Tenth Inning
interweaves our national pastime
with the story of America. Each
session begins at 7:30 p.m. in the
auditorium. Warning: each DVD in
this series is roughly the length of an
average movie, so plan on spending
more than 90 minutes for most of
the sessions.
Bill Crowe will hold another 4-week
iPad class on Fridays, beginning on
May 24. There will be a class for
“beginners” and a class for
“intermediate” users. This is being
provided by our partners in learning
at “Adult and Community
Education.” We will have iPads
available for you to borrow, like we
did last time, so you can decide if the
device is something you might want to
purchase for yourself after taking class.
If you would like one of the 13 spaces
available in the BEGINNER class, sign
up for the first class, which is at 9 a.m.
If you are an INTERMEDIATE user,
sign up for the class that begins at
10:15 a.m. PLEASE note if you own an
iPad or you would like to borrow one
in the margin when you sign up. We
have limited availability.

Charles M. Schulz
created one of the
most popular and
recognizable comic
strips of all time,
“Peanuts,” which
tells the story of
Charlie Brown and
his friends.
Schulz did all the
art, lettering and
inking of the strips
himself, which is
unusual for a comic
strip creator.
During the nearly
50-year run of the
strip, he only once
took a vacation—five
weeks in celebration
of his 75th birthday.
Almost 18,000
total strips appeared.
Schulz requested that
no new strips be
made after his death,
so only reruns have
appeared since 2000.
Schulz hated the
name “Peanuts.”
He stated, “It’s totally
ridiculous, has no
meaning, is simply
confusing, and has
no dignity—and I
think my humor
has dignity.”

From the Dining Services Director
I cannot let the Resident Council year end without expressing my deepest
gratitude to your hardworking Dining Services committee. This committee, who
met monthly with me and my staff, was chaired by a great lady. Thanks to the
guidance and leadership of Mrs. Lorraine Hester, this group reported all of your
feedback on your Dining Services program. Each and every committee member
presented a report from their respective floor providing valuable and constructive
suggestions. As a result of this hard working group, Dining Services received a 95%
satisfaction rating in the recent Resident satisfaction survey. On behalf of my entire
staff, I wish to again thank Mrs. Hester and the 2012\2013 Dining Services
committee members for all their efforts. My staff and I really appreciate it.

Employee of
the Month
Elvira Esparza, one
of our fantastic servers
in the dining room,
was named
“Employee of the
Month!” Not only is
she a fantastic server,
Elvira is also the
creator of Elvira’s
“FAMOUS”
quesadillas! Every few
months, she switches
uniforms and spends
her day in the kitchen
creating delicious
quesadillas. Yum!!
Keep up the good
work, Elvira!
Wear It for
Wisdom
Like the gardens
and grass of spring,
May’s birthstone, the
emerald, dazzles with
a brilliant green.
Some believe wearing
an emerald brings
wisdom and patience.
Orchids are in full bloom, as you can see
by this photo taken by Walt Sherwood.
Thanks to Walt for teaching himself how to
attach a photo and email it to Kris so we
could share it with you in “Vibes.” Thank
you to Bennie Komarek for using her
“Orchid Expertise” to make our garden
look so gorgeous!

Chaplain’s Corner
Rev. Dr. Chuck Moffett
Thursday, April 4, 2013, at 4 p.m. a plane landed in Gulfport, MS. It carried only military personnel.
Two important passengers deplaned.
One passenger was my son, Dave, returning stateside after 8 months active duty service with the U.S.
Navy Seabees in Afghanistan. The other passenger was Nick Monteforte, retired U.S. Army, returning
stateside after a family vacation in Germany.
Dave was returning to celebrate life. While I could not be there to greet him in person, I was told later by
family who were there that he looked great. That was confirmed for me at 4:30 when I heard his voice on
the phone. JOY!
Nick was returning to face death. Nick is the son of Sam Monteforte here at Bay Village. Nick knew his
dad’s health was declining and was in hopes of arriving before his dad died. There was no one at the airport
to welcome Nick and his wife, Cathy. Only later did Nick learn that dad had died while Nick was en route.
Dave and Nick, on the same plane together, but neither one knew the other, nor the reason for each of
them being on that flight. It only was later in separate conversations I had with Dave and Nick that I felt
the poignancy of unintentional missed connections. How I wish they had connected on that flight to have
been a support to each other. I hope sometime they will meet.
May we find ways to change missed connections into intentional connections of support and care.
