Written by Elizabeth McCabe

It’s always fun to go to a summer carnival,
but it is so much more fulfilling to come to
carnival for a cause.

This summer on July 13th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, the Goddard
School on 754 Reading Road in Mason will be holding their 14th
Annual Summer Carnival to benefit the Dragonfly Foundation. This
foundation was founded for an all-important purpose: to bring com-
fort and joy to kids and young adults being treated for cancer and
blood diseases. What a wonderful way to spend a summer night by
helping those in need!

By participating in the carnival, you will be helping the Dragonfly
Foundation create special events and memorable moments for fami-
lies, implement the “I Am Still Me” Hair Loss Program, help fulfill
children’s hospital “wish lists,” and much more! Your participation
truly makes a difference in the lives of others. Plus, the carnival itself
will be a blast! Food, games, raffles, a dunking booth, and a “bounce
house” all make the night fun for all! Be sure to come out with your
family and have a great time!

Annual Meeting April 26, 2012
Submitted by Bill Partridge-HOA president

The meeting was called to order at 7:05pm. It was determined that a quorum was not acquired, as 50% of the ownership was
not present or represented by proxy. Scott Losekamp notified the Board that official notice was mailed to all homeowners on
April 12, 2012 regarding this annual meeting. Board members present included President Bill Partridge, Carol Hammons,
Mickey Schonhoft, Denny Martin and Dieter Moeller. Property Manager Scott Losekamp representing Town Properties was

Move the money into your new employer’s plan. If your new
employer has a 401(k) and allows transfers, you could roll the
money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an
attractive option if you like the investment options in your new
employer’s plan.

Roll the money over to an Individual Retirement Account
(IRA). You may find several advantages in doing so. First, your
money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred
basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtually any invest-
ment you choose — stocks, bonds, government securities, cer-
tificates of deposit (CDs), etc. Third, if you own more than one
401(k) account, it may be advantageous to consolidate them
into a single IRA, making it easier to allocate and monitor your
retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flex-
ibility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your
child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretching
withdrawals over the child’s entire lifetime, rather than taking
