Jeanette started working for the Village Grill in September of 2011. She and her husband recently moved from Laguna Vista to Port Isabel to be closer to her work here. Never idle, she filled in for housekeeping and at the Pro Shop when the Grill closed for the spring season of 2012. She truly found her “niche” when the Poolside Grill opened up in June of 2012 and has continued to run it through this summer. Jeanette says she loves working at LIV. She enjoys the people she works with and especially likes the interaction with all of the residents. The Poolside grill will be closing after Labor Day but Jeanette still works a couple of days a week at the Pro Shop and in housekeeping. The indoor Village Grill has also been a big success this summer by serving menudo and barbacoa to the busy breakfast crowds on weekends.

ONE FOR THE DITCH? Wrapping up the Summer Fun Everything must come to an end and sadly so shall the summer fun. But….not so fast!! The kids continue to enjoy Friday night movies at the Pro Shop. They packed the parking lot for “The New Little Rascals” and again for those nasty little “Gremlins”. The “Princess Bride” will be featured this coming Friday The newly purchased popcorn machine has not had a chance to cool down between dances, movies and now popcorn sales at bingo! Saturday night Poolside Karaoke has become even bigger and better with the new Karaoke machine and sound system. A few of us were “wowed” when Leroy and Ivonne Barrera cranked it up for the first time Saturday afternoon to test it at the Poolside Grill. A large, fun loving, crowd gathered the following Saturday evening when Bob & Patty Champion got the new equipment rocking and rolling with fun family style Karaoke by the pool. Have you ever heard the phrase “One for the Ditch”? Well, neither had I until I met our friend Chris Hatzold. Chris hates when a good time is coming to an end…… and can be heard saying to whoever will listen. Come on you guys…..how about we just have “One more For the Ditch?” and thus the last dance of the summer season gets off to a great start! Again our resident DJ, “Cool Raul” Moreno knew exactly what tunes to spin to get the families up and in a dancing mood The Summer D & E have been successful in raising $850 this summer as a donation toward our Employee Christmas Bonuses and over $1000 used to purchase the new popcorn machine and Karaoke equipment.
