  Missed paper deadline 

  Tri-V family,

  Sorry I missed the newsletter deadline, however, time is just flying by for me out here in Arizona. After way too long (a bit over 3 months), I now have an immediate complete family unit in our home (Matt, Christine, Timothy, Abigail, Kensi and Loki) here in Buckeye, AZ.

  Our address is 25408 West Yanez Avenue, Buckeye, AZ 85326.

  I have had visitors (In-laws) when they drove down with Christine and are expecting all my side of the family this next week. It is and will be great to be able to connect with everyone.

  I get mostly the media view of things happening there in Michigan and I pray for all of you as it sounds like things there have been really rough. We are getting some news here now (uptick), but overall life here has been pretty normal through all this.

  I know that Christine has been great with posts on Facebook so that is the best place to see anything in regards to us. I am not the outgoing one in regards to all that. I have found some golf courses that will be too expensive for me to play as there will be no going and getting my slices off the fairway, however, if anyone makes it out, be happy to find time to socialize and play a round.

  Miss you all and looking forward to keeping in touch through Fantasy football and hearing all the great stories of things going on. Please keep posting here and/or facebook and we will do the same.

  Matt Hoffman

  Presidents Message I hope everyone in our Tri… 

  Presidents Message
  I hope everyone in our Tri V family is well and dealing ok with our new normal as we slowly begin to open things back up. We have been looking at upcoming events to determine which can safely be held.
  The July 26th picnic reservation for Rotary park pavilion 3 is still on the calendar. I have talked to some members with younger kids to get their thoughts on going forward with the picnic. We may adjust games and possible have each family bring their own meals if it seems wise to do so. I would like to hear from anyone who has ideas on how to best holding the picnic the safest way possible.
  The 1st half Tri V golf season ends Tuesday June 15th with many people still with a change to win. We will play 8weeks for the 2nd half with the final week August 17th being the championship playoff.
  I have talked to Mike Trachsel and the golf weekend is still scheduled for August 21st,22nd,23rd. There will be more information coming as we see how the corona virus situation is affecting things as the summer goes on.
  Jeff is working on the Steak Roast dates and planning again with an eye on what‘s happening. All events are subject to change or cancellation as new news comes out.

  The Lardins May prove to be a busy… 

  The Lardins
  May prove to be a busy month for Judy and John. Upon their return from Florida the end of April they had to set up doctor appointments for John. He had to get his pacemaker/defalcator checked with the heart doctor and visit the chemo doctor to restart Chemo treatments and fortunately there was no break in receiving the chemo. Did have a cat scan and am happy to say all turned out well. The tumor has crystallized which prevents it from growing and since the last cat scan has shrunk a very little. Still has to have his yearly checkup with the eye doctor because of his diabetes then appoints in August for his echo and carotid Doppler check. On the good side John has been able to play golf the last two weeks of May with the Friday group. Other activities kept us busy celebrating Bev’s birthday with a drive bye of 41 cars then granddaughter Alyssa had a drive bye for her 10th birthday with 39 cars. John’s Uncle, his Mothers brother, who will turn 100 in Feb. just had a pacemaker and came through with flying colors. Uncle Mike just quit driving two years ago but still cooks dinner every night. Up until two years he lived alone in Hillsdale Mi. and is still sharp as a tack. Other than that we have been limited on what we can do with the lockdown. Continue to pray for your family, the TRI-V Family and all your friends that we can get through this dilemma and get back to something normal. PRAYERS DO WORK

  MEMORIES FROM THE JUNE 2015 ISSUE OF TRI… 

  MEMORIES FROM THE JUNE 2015 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
  Our prayers go out to Bob and Sherry Kuhr on the passing of Bob’s brother Richard from a heart attack. The funeral will be held in Cincinnati, OH.
  The summer season begins with Brian Trachsel organizing a marble practice/learning event for all those interested in learning a new game while honing their skills. It is likely that marbles will replace pinochle for the 2016 season due to a waning interest level of interest in pinochle. The TRI-V Wives swim will be held at the home of Bev and Mike Lardin at 1 p.m. in Canton, MI. The August meeting will be held at the Hankerd Inn during the wives stay there. The ladies getaway is scheduled at the Hankerd Inn in Pleasant Lake, MI from August 3-5. The Anniversary Party is scheduled for June 19 at Joy Manor in Westland. Entertainment will be provided by the musical group Killarney Creek. Arika and Ryan Trachsel announced the birth of their daughter Piper Jean on May 22. Final Golf will be held August 21-23 at Ray’s Treat, Gaylord, MI. 28 golfers have committed to attend. John Lardin was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis and the doctor ruled out surgery as too risky. June 9 John will have a cauterization to determine if he will need a pacemaker/defibrillator implant. Just proves John takes better care of Judy than she does of him. On June 1 Alyssa turned 5 and she has turned out to be Judy’s little girl. Judy and John will be making a trip to Buhl, Idaho to celebrate Judy’s uncle’s birthday who be 90. It was 10 years ago that Judy and her mom made the same trip to celebrate his 80th birthday. Her uncle is her mom’s youngest brother and the only living of her five siblings. Somewhere in between is a trip to Corpus Christi, TX to visit Larry and family. This wraps up another trip down Memory Lane. Here it is the first part of June and the beginning of vacation season. The kids should be getting out of school in a week, but with the Covid19 they have doing online school for the past two months so much different for all this year. Now would be a good time to take with your children, grandchildren what you did when fist getting out of school. Did your family start planning for a vacation; perhaps you were going to start a summer job or play a sport in a summer league. Don’t let these special times die in the back of your memory. Share them with your family and friends. Our children and grandchildren will have many stories to tell with the pandemic and then the protests. Until we see you next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

  Members of the TRI-V family were in need of our prayers. Dave Ruetenik was now at Lakeland Nursing Home, Southfield, and is being well taken care of.
