A Message from Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich - September 2019

 
September birthstone symbol – is the sapphire a beautiful blue stone.
The birth flowers for September are the Forget-Me-Not, Morning Glory and Aster.  For the folks out there that follow the zodiac, the month of September are Virgo (until September 21) and Libra (from September 22 onwards).
 
Enjoy this wonderful time of year, the days are still sunny and summer is quickly passing, take what she brings. 
 

 
September
"The breezes taste Of apple peel. The air is full Of smells to feel-Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush, New books, erasers, Chalk, and such. The bee, his hive, Well-honeyed hum, And Mother cuts Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean With suds, the days
Are polished with A morning haze."
By John Updike

The Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties

Our Monmouth/Ocean county food bank now called Fulfill Food Pantry, will be here each month on the 4th Friday of the month. 
 
Each month it grows as many people are in need of  assistance.  
 
If you need assistance or know of another person needing assistance please contact me.  I am here to help.  The registration form is available here in this paper and there are also registration forms in our Holiday City Berkeley office, 631 Jamaica Blvd.
As I mentioned in previous Clubhouse Bulletin’s, it has been brought to my attention that living here in our community, are residents that are “shut-ins”.   A “shut-in” is someone that can’t drive, has difficulty walking or getting around.  Please contact me, and I will make contact with this person and make arrangements to get them the help they need. 
 

Reminder: 

 Check your next  Shareholder’s meeting. Please attend, it is important for each homeowner to be involved in their community.


If you need to speak to me, please call me, I am here to assist you. Leave me a message calling: phone 732-244-7400 ext. 205, 

Or  Email:  [email protected].  
Sincerely, 
Sophia Gingrich, Councilwoman
