We would like to remind all residents of the rules regarding the use of the pool and clubhouse amenities.
If you have guests visiting, you must always be with them while they are using the pool or clubhouse. Guests are not permitted to use these facilities without the resident present.
Additionally, residents should never share their pool gate code with guests under any circumstances. Your guests should always enter and access the amenities with your present.
Recently, there was an incident where a resident did not know the pool gate code, and a child was lifted over the gate to gain access to the pool. This type of behavior is unsafe and will not be tolerated. It creates a serious safety hazard and violates community rules.
Please be advised that notices will be issued for this type of behavior.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone.
If you do not know the pool gate code, please come see me in the office Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I will gladly provide it to you.
The code has also been sent out via email. If you did not receive it or do not have email access, please stop by the office and I will make sure you get it.
Please do not attempt to enter the pool area by unsafe means. Recently, there was an incident where a child was lifted over the gate to gain access. This is a very serious safety hazard, and someone could be seriously injured.
We ask that everyone follow proper procedures to ensure the safety of all residents and guests.
Happy times come and go, but the memories stay forever. Enjoy our collection of photos featuring Sunspire events and residents!
Saturday Club Breakfast
TUNA & AVOCADO SOFT SALAD
Here’s a simple, light summer lunch that works well for everyone: Tuna & Avocado Soft Salad Plate. It’s nutritious and doesn’t require much cooking.
Ingredients (1–2 servings)
• 1 can tuna packed in water, drained
• ½ ripe Avocado
• 1 tbsp plain Greek Yogurt (instead of heavy mayo)
• 1 tbsp finely diced celery
• 1 tbsp finely diced cucumber
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Pinch of salt and black pepper
• Optional: small sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mash the avocado until mostly smooth.
2. Add tuna and mix gently.
3. Stir in Greek yogurt, celery, cucumber, and lemon juice.
4. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Serve chilled.
How to serve (senior-friendly)
• On soft whole-grain toast
• With sliced tomatoes
• In lettuce cups for a very light meal
Why it’s good for older adults
• Soft texture and easy to chew
• Healthy fats from avocado
• Protein from tuna
• Cooling and light for hot weather
You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.

"Let me tell you my story:
8 years,tried a lot of different things, on different medications and
When we got down here from Michigan this past
with neuropathy for years walked across the street to welcome us back. The amazing thing was, she walked over without her walker. I had never seen her without her walker. I asked her what she had done, and she walked back to her house and came back with a card for the doctor she had seen after we left last year. I gave his office a call to make an appointment, it was on a Thursday, his office was closed, but the doctor answered the phone. He explained he would like me to attend one of his free workshops before coming in, it would answer all questions and if I still wanted to come in, I could make an appointment then. His workshop was informative, he explained things unlike any doctor I had seen up to that time, how neuropathy started, what is done for most people, why he does what he does. I was mostly impressed that he was straight forward, told the pros and cons. I’ll bet 85 to 90 percent of the other patients I talked to in his office were getting good results, like I did. My pain decreased by at least 50% in the first 3 weeks. I would highly recommend anyone with peripheral neuropathy, go to this workshop, I know you will be glad you did."
