The RV Park is filling up, we have a couple of sites left due to unexpected departures in early October, so if you know of anyone looking for a site please let them know. Space is tight in the RV Park, please make sure that you do not place your belongs, including cars, trucks, trailers and boats on any of the vacant sites or on your neighbors site.
When you are out and about anywhere in the RV or Mobile Home Park, please respect the privacy of others by not walking or riding you bike through their yards. Cars, trucks and motorcycles must not be driven though the fields, they are to remain on the roads at all times, except when parked at your site. Off Road vehicles may not be operated in Aripeka West at any time.

Fall Back...
Don't forget to "set your clocks back" one hour at 2 AM on November 1st. We will return to Eastern Standard Time, the sun will rise a little earlier but the down side is the sun will also set a little earlier. For early risers, the change will be nice, but for those who love their evenings, darkness will fall way too early. Don't be late on Sunday Morning, set your clocks back before you go to bed Halloween night!
Change those batteries...
Setting you clocks back, is also a reminder that it is time to change the batteries in you Smoke Detectors. Mobile Home and RV fires can be very serious and your Smoke Detector may be the only alert you will get to a fire and give you the time to escape without bodily harm. Those batteries are worth the investment to keep you and your family safe in the event of a fire.

Restrooms & Laundry...
The Restrooms and Laundry facilities located in the RV Park are for RV Park Guests only. When you use the Restrooms or Laundry machines, please make sure they are clean when you are finished.
When you finish with the washer, wipe off the machine and make sure all of you items are removed. When you use the dryer, please clean the lint filter after each load and wipe off the machine when you are finished drying your clothes. Remember, these are NOT extra capacity machines. Overloading the washer can damage the machines. Overloading also causes your load not to spin properly resulting in very wet clothes that are probably not as clean as you think they should be after washing. These very wet loads will not dry in one cycle in the dryer. Remove all laundry from the machines immediately after the cycle is completed, check to make sure all items are removed and that the lint filter on the dryer is cleaned. Please do not keep others waiting on you.
Please limit your showers to 15 minutes as there may be others waiting for the showers. Please remove all of your personal items from the restrooms when you leave. Personal item left behind will be placed in the trash. The restrooms are cleaned daily, but any help with keeping them looking fresh all day is appreciated.
November 11th...
Whether you call it Veteran's Day, Remembrance Day, Armistice Day or Poppy Day... This is the day we honor all veterans, those who fought for your freedom and returned home to their families and those who died fighting for your freedom.
Originally called Armistice Day, it marks the day World War One ended, at 11 AM on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. Each year a two minutes of silence is held at 11 AM to remember the people who have died in wars.
In the United States, Veteran's Day is a Federal Holiday, but it is also celebrated by members of the Commonwealth.
To Quit or not to Quit...
The Great American Smoke Out takes place on November 19th this year. Every year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. The Great American Smokeout event challenges people to stop using tobacco and helps people know about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit.
The
Smoke Out event has helped dramatically change Americans’ attitudes about
smoking. These changes have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that
are now saving lives in many states. Annual Great American Smoke Out events
began in the 1970s, when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace.
The idea
for the Great American Smoke Out grew from a 1970 event in Randolph,
Massachusetts, at which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes
for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high
school scholarship fund. Then in 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the
Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t
Smoke Day.
The idea
caught on, and on November 18, 1976, the California Division of the American
Cancer Society got nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day. That
California event marked the first Great American Smoke Out, and the Society took
the program nationwide in 1977. Since then, there have been dramatic changes in
the way society views tobacco advertising and tobacco use. Many public places
and work areas are now smoke-free – this protects non-smokers and supports
smokers who want to quit.
Only 28 days...
Black Friday is on November 27th, that will leave just 28 days til Santa arrives.
