Executive Director’s Notes
Member Meeting
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 25, 2015. We will be having a member meeting in the
ballroom at 11:00am. Topics covered will include the upcoming construction projects, traffic and
parking issues related to the upcoming construction, security issues, update on recent thefts, updated
member guide and Live Long Well Care. I look forward to seeing you on the 25th.
Parking
As a follow up to last week’s parking update, JR from the home office reviewed the sites for the
proposed parking area expansions this past Tuesday. He will be returning to the campus on
Wednesday, March 18 with a civil engineer to review the sites, and make sure they are appropriate
for conversion to parking areas. Based on rough calculations so far, it appears we could create 25
parking spots for staff parking.
Landscaping related to Construction of Reedy House
The weather has not been cooperating with us, and has delayed our moving of the trees and plants
from the front of the Reedy House Construction site. We hope to have this completed by Monday
afternoon. Once this work is completed, we will wash down the streets and remove any mud or
debris left over from this project. As soon as the landscaping move is completed, Triangle
Construction will begin erecting the construction fencing around the site.
Ground Breaking Ceremony – Reedy House
We have scheduled the ground breaking ceremony for the Reedy House building. It will be held on
April 2, 2015 at 11:00am at the construction site. Knox White, the Mayor of Greenville will be
attending and participating in the groundbreaking ceremony. We will be posting more details during
the coming weeks.
Main Dining Room Carpet
We are working with commercial carpet cleaning vendors, securing bids for cleaning of the main
dining room carpet. I know many of you are frustrated or embarrassed by the condition of the carpet.
I will keep you updated on our progress with this issue.
See you around the campus.

Bob Jones Living Gallery
We will be attending the Bob Jones Living Gallery on Friday April 3rd. Since this event sells out
fast, we have purchased the tickets to the event. If you would like to go, just RSVP in the
book. We will have 21 seats available. The cost of the tickets will be billed to your monthly
account. For any questions, please contact Jermaine @ 528-5527.
Nature Trail Use
Members, Cascades has a beautiful campus with many venues located in our Clubhouse.
We also have amenities outside for you to use. One of which is our beautiful nature trail. The
trail goes around half of our campus and once construction is done on the new Cottages it will
return to a full perimeter trail. If you would be so kind to take a few seconds and look in the
RSVP book for the month of March and just put your name down as a trail user. It’s not
required to use the trail of course, but we would like to know how it’s used, exercise or just a
nature walk. We know it’s been cold but has the season turns to Spring we want to make sure
you take full advantage of this wonderful trail. Thank you. – Keepers of the Trail
The RSVP Book is Moving to the Concierge Desk
The RSVP Book is our source for making reservations for events for members and a
bookkeeping tool for staff to see how many have signed up for events. Well, we have noticed
that some pages mysteriously go missing from the book prior to events happening, which
makes it difficult to manage effectively. With that said, the RSVP Book will be kept at the
Concierge desk for you to sign up for events. It will be available from 8am-8pm. We are sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you. - Member Services
Fix It Clinic
A Repair Clinic for walkers, scooters and canes is on Thursday, March 26th (morning only).

News from the Trail March #2
While reviewing my trail photos, this scene caught my
attention. It is a complex capsule of the remarkable diverse
ecosystem that time and our stream have produced. When
we encounter these beautiful natural scenes, we are
reminded to tread lightly when altering or “improving”
wild areas for our enjoyment. I took the challenge of the
phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” and came up
with these. As you study the picture, I’m sure you can add
to the list.

Cascades Hikers
2015 Swamp Rabbit Trail Challenge
The Cascades Hikers are hiking 17.5 miles of the Swamp Rabbit Trail from the
current southern terminus at Lake Conestee Nature Park to Travelers Rest in four
separate sections. We challenge all able members to join us in this activity.
Certificates and prizes will be awarded to all who complete the entire 17.5 mile
walk.
Section # 2 – Thursday March 19th – Leaves the Club House at 8:30 AM. Mile
Marker 37.5 – AMF Star Lanes at Pleasantburg and Cleveland Street to Main
Street, Downtown Greenville Mile Marker 33.5. Total Distance 4.0 miles.
After completion of our walk, you will have the option to lunch on your own in
Downtown Greenville or return on an early bus. A list of optional restaurants will
be provided. Or you may choose to bring a picnic and eat in Reedy River Falls Park.
We will gather at a designated location/time and return to the Cascades after
lunch.
The Swamp Rabbit Trail, largely based on an old railroad bed, is a paved trail with very few
inclines. No rocks or roots to step over or streams to cross. This section is rated easy. Plan to
bring along – good walking shoes, plenty to drink, and some snacks.
All hikers must be physically able to hike the distance. If you have concerns with your ability
to hike, check with Wellness Director, Aleksandra Makuch.
Sign up in the book!

PRECINCT 24 VOTER RE-ORGANIZATION
On March 16th, at Beck Academy on Woodruff Road (where we vote), the Precinct 24 Republican
Party will hold a bi-annual “Reorganization Meeting” at 7:00pm. This meeting is required by the State
and Greenville County Republican Party by-laws, as it will also be by the Democratic Party for their
members at another date.
The purpose of the meeting is to elect new Precinct Officers, primarily a President, Executive
Committee person, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Secondly, it is intended to elect
delegates from the Precinct who wish to go to the County Convention to be held on April 18 th at the
TD Convention Center. We are allowed to send 9 delegates from our Precinct.
Cascades Verdae has the largest block of Republican voters in the Precinct. 96 voted as
Republicans in the 2013 primary out of a total of 233 people voting as Republicans. With our new
residents since 2013, we probably number over 100. We hold voting power relative to the 2016
election, and “getting involved” to support Republican candidates for local, state and national offices
is very important.
Please come to the meeting of Precinct 24 at Beck Academy on March 16th at 7:00pm. If you need a
ride, Cascades transportation will provide a ride to Beck. The meeting will last about an hour.
Dick Collett, President of Precinct 24 – Phone: 528-5287
P.S. Please bring your current Voter Registration Card with you. If you do not have a Precinct 24
Registration card and wish to exercise your vote, Registration change forms will be at the Concierge
desk. These need to be completed and taken to the Church Street Voter Registration office. Their
phone number is 864-467-7250 if you have any questions.
PLEASE SIGN UP IN THE RSVP BOOK IF YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION TO
BECK ACADEMY.
