After winning the competition for the past two consecutive years, we&#8217;ve secured victory for a third straight year. This impressive three-year winning streak means the traveling trophy now permanently belongs to Beatitudes Campus. This achievement reflects the dedication of our residents to maintaining active, healthy lifestyles and the strength of our wellness programs. The trophy stands as a testament to our community&#8217;s commitment to fitness and friendly competition.<br \/>\nIn other campus news, you may have noticed a welcome upgrade in the Bistro.<br \/>\nNew tabletops have been installed, refreshing the space where so many of our residents gather for meals, coffee, and conversation. The updated surfaces provide a more pleasant dining environment for everyone who uses this popular gathering spot.<br \/>\nFor our Lifelong Learners program, please note a schedule adjustment.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;How It Works&#8221; session has been moved to the next Lifelong Learners<br \/>\nmeeting. We&#8217;ve encountered ongoing technical difficulties in the Life Center that have prevented us from properly projecting slides for presentations. Our team is working to resolve these issues, but rather than compromise the quality of the educational experience, we&#8217;ve opted to reschedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these technical challenges to ensure our Lifelong Learners sessions maintain their high standards.<\/p>\n<p>Brought to you by Chat GPT<\/p>\n<p><\/div><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea2c3929be67018453641' value='69ea2c3929be67018453641'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea2c3929be67018453641' value='September 10, 2025 - Robert Andrews'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea2c3929be67018453641' value='Show Less'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea2c3929be67018453641' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">September 10, 2025 - Robert Andrews<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea2c3929be67018453641' ><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">Report for Communications Committee for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Sept<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> 1<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">I\u2019d like to talk first about the shifting of the Meeting rooms. Donna covered it very well last week, but as a resident I\u2019d like to point out. Some have criticized management for failure to communicate. It\u2019s a two way street though. Some of the problems <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">have happened<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> because of failure <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">of groups<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> to notify catering and facilities of an event you have decided to host. These recurring events need to be entered into the Works Hub calendar <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">to avoid conflicts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">A few examples have already surfaced. There is a breakfast group that meets in the Plaza Club where we will <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">now <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">hosting Creating our Future<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> Studio. There are Rumikub, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Bridge,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> and Chickenfoot games that occur on a regular basis. My own Communications meeting was calendared, but has been displaced because of the LifeLong Learners Spanish class. We may have to make concessions, but the dust will settle, and a peaceful life here at Beatitudes will continue.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">That being said\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">Communications is<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large\">now<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> meeting <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">in the Plaza Club, and we meet at 10:30 on the third <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Tuesday<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\"> of each month. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">The next meeting is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">six days from now \u2013 Tuesday, September 16. After many years, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">H<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">erb Komnick is retiring from the Communications Committee, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">so we will be having cake. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">As it turns out, this will also be Bob Morgan\u2019s last meeting. He is moving back to Canada to be with his family.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">The latest printed Telephone Directory was January 2025. We are working on an update, but until that time, you can see a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">current <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">directory in Uniguest that is updated at the beginning of every month. Go to Publications \u2013 Residents \u2013 and Resident Census.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">For new residents and team members, there is a WayNav program on Uniguest and at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Meteors.net\/\">www.Meteors.net<\/a> \u2013 you simply plug in an apartment number or destination name, and it shows you a map pin <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">of where you want to go<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">. This is a great way to learn your way around the Campus.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">The TV Guide has been printed and is available both on Uniguest, Meteors.net, and a printed copy at the Information Station.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">A reminder, that you can order Buckwald\u2019s items to go, bu<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">t you must make that order through the Buckwald\u2019s dining staff, as the registers do not have Buckwald\u2019s items loaded. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Reservations are no longer required for Buckwald\u2019s, but are recommended. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Sometimes they get filled up, and you may have to wait for a table if you do not have a reservation, or you can eat in the Plaza Club which is an overflow area for Buckwald\u2019s with the same great table service.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">There have been a few comments about the hours for Around the Block. Eliza works five days a week from 9:00-5:00. Security is available at all other times. It may take longer for a response though, as their first duty is campus safety, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">but transportation is always available.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">A reminder: A new event: Resident Mixer begins this coming Sunday at noon. New residents, actually all residents, are invited to go through the Bistro and ask for their food to be brought into the Plaza Club, where the new and the old will come together for talk and community.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">LifeLong Learner Session A classes, begin next week. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Because of the room changes, the locations in the catalog are not correct, and in many instances change between classes. Please see the Roadrunner each week for the correct meeting location of your classes. In case you forget to look, the information will also be posted on the door of the location stated in the catalog when the location has been moved. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">If you did not get a chance to register, please see Barbara Bauer for late registration.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">September 26 is our talent show.

Our new meeting location is Central Park West 4<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: large\"> Floor. There will, however, be no June meeting. Next meeting will be July 21.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">One of the top things we\u2019ve heard over the past two months is about our Internet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">We are setting up a Resident Printer network to create a more secure environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">Sam Williams, our new Tech Support Guy in Plaza South 116, has been working dilligently to complete this task.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">The new printed Telephone Directory is nearing completion. Please view your personal listing, and if you would like any changes, please pass that information on to Jon Schilling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">The new dining services changes have gone much more smoothly than we had hoped. You can now order \u201cto go\u201d orders from Buckwald\u2019s, but you must make that order through the Buckwald\u2019s dining staff, as the registers do not have Buckwald\u2019s items loaded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">We are still having some delivery packages left outside of the gates. This is being addressed. We will be posting signs directing the delivery people to the main gate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">A sign has been requested directing visitors that come when the Welcome Center is opened, to exit through Plaza View, as the Welcome Center is sometimes locked after guests have arrived. This is especially necessary since Elaine\u2019s is now opened on Saturday until 7:00. Welcome Center doors are currently locked at 4:30 on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">Shredding bins were discussed. For those without a shredding bin in their lobby, you can use the shredding bin in the Bistro next to the Battery Recycle station.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">We also talked about outgoing packages. United Parcel Service and FedEx packages must be taken to the Facilities Office. If you head to Backstreet Boutique and take the sidewalk to the left of the building, you will see Facilities. You can give them your package. United States Postal Service packages can go to the Welcome Center.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/div><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea2c392a0060006539445' value='69ea2c392a0060006539445'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea2c392a0060006539445' value='April 9, 2025 - Robert Andrews'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea2c392a0060006539445' value='Show Less'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea2c392a0060006539445' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">April 9, 2025 - Robert Andrews<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea2c392a0060006539445' ><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\">RESIDENT COUNCIL REPORT<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Communications Committee Report<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">to The Residents Council \u2013 April 9, 2025<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">This report will be just a bit longer than usual, so brace yourself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">The Communications Committee meets on the third Monday of each month at 10:00. The next meeting is April 21. We are now meeting in Elaine\u2019s rather than the board rooms. As always anyone is invited to attend as an active member or as an observer. I am not sure where we will meet after the Buckwald\u2019s change-over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">NOTE: Michelle said staff is meeting with all who are scheduled for meetings or gatherings in all rooms affected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Some of you may have known that our new tech guru Sam Williams is the husband of Mollie Heiden, and both are the proud parents of a newborn baby boy. Sullivan Louis Williams was 8lb 6 oz. &#8211; 21.5 inches long. This means a lot more to the women than them men. My question was did he have ten fingers and ten toes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Anyway, Sam is taking the week off. He will be back Monday. Till then, the Communications Committee is staffing the help desk from 12 until 2:00 through Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Sam\u2019s new office will eventually be Plaza South, apartment 116, right next to Oasis Physical Therapy, Community Matters \u2013 previously Community Engagement, and Curana Health.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">The TV Guide is taking shape. The biggest complaint was that the Roadrunner Brief played at 8:00 am. As it turns out, most of us (myself included) are frequently sleeping at 8:00. It\u2019s been moved to 11:30, and the music previously schedule for 11:30 is now playing at 8:00. TV Guides are at the information station, and today only, in the back of the Life Center.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">The Beatitudes Design Studio has a new name: Creating our Future. It is more descriptive of what we are trying to accomplish, which is propose new programs and directions for The Campus. Michelle and Donna have agreed to act as our Staff Liasons. For now, it is happening every Thursday morning at 9:00, but this too may change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">A quick note about Summer. I took an infrared temperature reading of the asphalt last year when the temperature was 105\u00ba \u2013 the pavement was 156\u00ba<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Please keep this in mind when walking your pets. Walk in the early morning or late evening, or stay in the shade or on the grass.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Thanks to Bob Bales for suggesting that Uniguest implement both extension numbers and the entire phone number on slides. Some of our new residents do not have a land line, so just the extension does not give them any usable information. All of them have not yet been converted, but we are working on it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Thanks to Ruth Crowley for organizing visits from the Library Bookmobile. It visits the campus every third Friday at 10:00. The next visit is April 18.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">On April 22 we have two great events. Carole Beard is holding a foot clinic, of special interest to those with Type 2 Diabetes. That conflicts slightly with the trip to the Sikh Gourdwara hosted by Spiritual Life. The Foot Clinic will be recorded and put on Channel 1-2.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">April 25 at 4:00 will be a Street Fair. Look in the Roadrunner next week for details.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">April 28 Fiddler on the Roof.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">April 30 Mad Hatter Tea Party.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">This next section was eliminated, as it was addressed by Michelle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">A final note: There\u2019s been just a bit of confusion about the dining services timeline. The last day of sit-down dinner service in Buckwald\u2019s at the Life Center will be Friday May 9. The first day of the New Buckwald\u2019s in the Town Plaza will be Monday May 19, which will include both lunch and dinner menus. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">The following sentence WAS given at the meeting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Bistro hours and menu will remain unchanged. Elaine\u2019s Fine Dining will move to Friday and Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">Submitted by Robert Andrews for the Communications Committee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/div><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea2c392a1e48039408064' value='69ea2c392a1e48039408064'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea2c392a1e48039408064' value='Feb 12, 2025 - Robert Andrews'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea2c392a1e48039408064' value='Collapse Feb 12'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea2c392a1e48039408064' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">Feb 12, 2025 - Robert Andrews<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea2c392a1e48039408064' ><\/p>\n<p>RESIDENT COUNCIL REPORT<\/p>\n<p>Communications Committee Report<br \/>\nto The Residents Council \u2013 February 12, 2025<\/p>\n<p>The Communications Committee meets on the third Monday of each month at 10:00. The next meeting is February 17. We are now meeting in Elaine\u2019s rather than the board rooms. As always anyone is invited to attend as an active member or as an observer.<\/p>\n<p>As most of you may have heard, GroovyTek gave us about two hours notice that they had ceased support in Arizona. Initially, it appeared as if they were maintaining operations in Florida and Georgia, but I checked the website just before this meeting, and the entire site has been taken down, so they did go under.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts began immediately to get a replacement for on-site tech support. Exactly what form that may take is not yet known. Beatitudes asked Communications to step in and help out until a replacement is found. We will be staffing the GroovyTek desk, which they kindly left behind, weekdays from 12:00 until 2:00.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Kathy Miller, Bill Chase, Chuck Beaujon, Judy Chernick, and Bob Morgan who will be helping to fill that role.<\/p>\n<p>Any support requiring access to your apartment should go through Jon Schilling, who is the head of Community Engagement. You can reach him by dialing zero, and you will be connected.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you don\u2019t have Uniguest on your phone or laptop computer, Communications is taking walk-in tech visits from noon until 2:00 Monday through Friday. Our desk is near the Beatitudes Library.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few TV programs that happen at specific times, but right now, most of us just happen onto TV programming. Jon Schilling, Jennifer Long, and I are working on a TV Guide that will tell you when programming is scheduled; Such as replays of Residents Council, Town Hall, Readers Theater, Church Services and musical events. We are finalizing design, so if you would like to be part of this development, please take one from the back of the room.<\/p>\n<p>Submitted by Robert Andrews for the Communications Committee.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea2c392a2356087819164' value='69ea2c392a2356087819164'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea2c392a2356087819164' value='Dec 11, 2024 - Robert Andrews'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea2c392a2356087819164' value='Collapse Dec 11'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea2c392a2356087819164' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">Dec 11, 2024 - Robert Andrews<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea2c392a2356087819164' ><\/p>\n<p>RESIDENT COUNCIL REPORT<\/p>\n<p>Communications Committee Report<br \/>\nto The Residents Council \u2013 December 11, 2024<\/p>\n<p>The Communications Committee meets on the third Monday of each month at 10:00.

As always anyone is invited to attend as an active member or as an observer.<\/p>\n<p>As you may have noticed we had hit a snag in Roadrunner Production. Jennifer Long is our Media Specialist, and was out due to unforeseen circumstances, so we have had to make due with our existing resources. This has exposed some weaknesses in our process, that Community Engagement is addressing. We\u2019d like to thank Ray Gonzales and Jon Schilling for Roadrunner production during this time. Jen is now back on Campus, and the music is back on Channel 1-2.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you don\u2019t have Uniguest on your phone or computer, GroovyTek takes walk-in tech visits from noon until 2:00 Monday through Friday.

The family portion has the menu and activities, but no resident information.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve made arrangements with KBAQ to have classical music on Channel 1-1 at no cost. As a courtesy, we posted information about how to become a sustaining member of KBAQ, KJZZ, and Sun Sounds.<\/p>\n<p>The new login system is working well. Cynthia Cielle made a Flashback Video of our new sign-in process that is now playing on Uniguest and on Channel 1-2. It plays Saturday from 4:00 \u2013 6:00 pm, and Sunday from 5:00- 7:00 pm. As it turns out, it only takes two minutes to create a new profile, and a single minute to log in for subsequent visits. And think of the safety we Residents get because of that brief process!<\/p>\n<p>The AI reading of the Roadrunner is going well, and has been well-received. Community Engagement has purchased additional AI voices, so we can have multiple readers with more personality than the free version offers. The AI Roadrunner plays on Channel 1-2 every Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday mornings from 8:30 am until 10:00.<\/p>\n<p>The new phone books have been published. Please send any corrections to Gabi Holberg.<\/p>\n<p>QR Codes are in full swing here at Beatitudes. A short video of how to use them plays during the Flashback videos.

They are intentionally under 250 words, and are not intensive, but may occasionally give a detail or two of which you may not be aware; such as how to get Personal Help Buttons, why Channel 12 is still not broadcasting, and new hours for locking the front door of the Welcome Center. You can see past articles and minutes from many meetings at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.BeatitudesCampus.NET\/\">www.BeatitudesCampus.NET<\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The parallel meetings of Communications and Ambassadors has been going well.

If you are technically inclined, and are interested in possibly becoming an Ambassador, talk with me after the meeting today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">On Channel 1-2 you will notice some new programming.

The Community Wednesday events are recorded and broadcast on a time delay, and Beatitudes Movies are back. The programming schedule for the day can be viewed on Channel 1-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The Michelle and David B-Informed, normally airs Tuesday through Saturday at 2 pm, and then again for three hours from 4 \u2013 7:00 pm.
