April “April prepares the green traffic light and the world thinks GO.” (Christopher Morley, John Mistletoe) The month of April can be characterized as the month of hope. Hope that winter is FINALLY over and spring is close at hand. We tend not to be bothered by the fact that it is a rainy month, because as the phrase goes...it brings the flowers. We start the month with April Fool’s Day and we are prepared for the pranks that may come our way. April is National Poetry Month. During this month we also have Patriots’ Day, Earth Day, Arbor Day and World Health Day. We also celebrate the holidays of Easter and Passover during April. And last, but never least is the April 15 deadline for filing our income tax. Some people refer to it as “TAXGIVING DAY”. Ponder this: April is a difficult month for Americans—even if your ship comes in, the IRS is right there to help you UNLOAD it!! Wednesday, April 1 Pre-Paid Guests only Doors open at 11:45am Friday, April 3 We have all heard the phrase April Showers bring May flowers, but sometimes if the atmosphere is right those showers bring a rainbow. A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicolored arc. No matter how many times we may see a rainbow in our lifetime, it always seems like we are seeing it for the first time. Offices closed through April 10th Tuesday, April 7 Cup of Life Final Session 1:00pm Library Wednesday, April 8 Rosary 1:55pm This month we will be focusing on Section 2: Rent which reads: “The Tenant shall pay the Rent to the Landlord at the Landlord’s address. If the rent is not paid by the 7th of the month a late charge of $10.00 is to be added to the rent”. Keeping it simple this month with a friendly reminder. Rent is due on the first of the month with a 7 day grace period. If your rent is not received by the 7 th of the month, you will be sent a reminder and a $10.00 late fee will be issued.
