This is what Danny Vernon found at a very early age when he began singing along with his Father s discarded albums. Unaware of Presley s vast impact in American culture and with a devout passion, Danny would sing and dance along with the King s music trusting that one day he would be recapturing his own Illusion of Elvis show on stage. Danny s professional experiences have included being a singer at lounges and nightclubs, and recording an original country album in Nashville receiving national airplay. This broad backdrop of skillful versatility helps give stability and genuineness to his Illusion of Elvis show. He enjoys performing all 3 decades of Elvis career, including the recklessly abandoned hillbilly cat 50 s, the sleek 60 s movie years including the Comeback Special, and the sexy 70 s jumpsuit years. In his own words, From the many years of admiration of Elvis, I ve sought to create a show that would hold the excitement of the King on stage throughout various stages in his career. I also try to show respect and support the integrity of the man and his music. With the voice, look, and passion of the twentieth century icon, Danny Vernon strives to recapture Elvis Presley s appeal to an ever-growing audience. You can see Elvis here on Friday, February 5 at 7:00 pm in our Auditorium. Tickets are only $7.00. Blood Pressure Volunteers are available in the sewing room every Wednesday immediately following Coffee to check Blood Pressures. A donation of $1.00 is appreciated.

7 From the Office The park is filling rapidly this month and we must issue another warning about parking on empty lots or absent resident s car ports. This is not allowed so please come to the office to obtain a parking permit for your guests or second vehicle. A great way to augment your income is to use the Refer A Friend program. If you refer a friend that has never been to Rincon Country RV Resort (either East or West) OR has not stayed here within the past three years, you could receive an award. If your friend stays a week or more you both get $20 credit on your account. If they stay a month or more, you both receive a $100 credit. One resident, in the West Park, found 8 friends that had not been in the park, and they each stayed a month or more. Each of the friends got $100 credit and the resident got an $800 credit. This is a great way to put funds towards your electric or even towards your rent. This program is for new RV guests. If you live in a Park Model and have an RV friend, that applies as well. Come to the office and pick up a form. When washers and dryers are out of order, please fill out a work order, located in a basket on the counter of the laundry room, and put on the washer or dryer that is not working. This will help the maintenance crew identify how to correct the problem more quickly. All traffic should proceed slowly when entering and exiting the storage area. We have had some near misses and urge you to proceed with caution. Everyone please stop at the sign and that includes bikes as well as vehicles. A warm welcome to all our new guests. Remember, you may purchase name tags in the office. The stick pin variety is $2.00 plus tax and the magnet is $5.00 plus tax. We are still collecting momisms - just drop them by the office.

The goal of the health screening is to target the early detection of specific life-endangering conditions such as heart disease, stroke and aneurysm that can go undetected for long periods of time. Untreated, these conditions can cause needless personal pain, diminished quality of life and financial hardship. The program provides the following screenings: Heart Screening Atrial Fibrillation Stroke screening Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Thyroid Screening Peripheral Arterial Disease (Blood Oxygen Saturation, Blood Pressure and Pulse testing is provided to all who participate) Individual screening tests are offered for as little as $45.00; the heart screening is $100.00, while the complete screening package is offered for $ Appointments are required. In addition to the screening services CHS provides a consultation to review the results and to help identify personal health risk factors.
