Juan and Hilda Fermin
Share Bears Spotlight on the Fermins
Newlyweds Hilda and Juan Fermin moved to PebbleCreek four years ago and immediately got involved in golf and dancing (they met in a salsa class). Hilda then joined the Ceramics Club, becoming their secretary and was recently honored as Artist of the Month. Juan was born in the Dominican Republic and Hilda in Mexico, but they have lived much of their lives in the USA. Between the two of them, they have lived in six different states. Tracy, Calif., was their last residence before moving to Arizona, but they are still on the move as travel is another passion.
Fortunately for Share Bears, they also became involved in the Friday bingo games. Juan is one of our callers and all around assistant while Hilda organizes the morning from general organization to set-up to refreshments. She also plans special days (hat day, ugly sweater day, Hawaiian day, holidays, birthdays) making it special for all the attendees. Bingo attendance has almost doubled under Hilda and her team’s leadership. Share Bears is grateful for the Fermins!

Seeking Volunteers for Upcoming Source Book Delivery
Tracey Schryver
Are you willing to lend a helping hand? Each year the Kare Bears House seeks residents to help with the distribution of the updated PebbleCreek Source Book. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to help our community without requiring a lot of your time.
If you have volunteered in the past, you will receive an email to determine if this remains something you’re willing to participate in once again.
Additional volunteers are still needed to help out. This is especially true for our newer units as well as replacing volunteers who may have given up their position. The distribution of the Source Book will take place on a Sunday toward the end of February.
If you are willing to help, please email your name, unit number, and telephone contact to [email protected].
While we cannot guarantee you will deliver in your own unit, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. We look forward to hearing from you in hopes that you will be able to participate in this volunteering opportunity.
