Happy Easter! Peter Cottontail has
certainly been busy around Kirby
Pines this year. The early timing of
Easter this year has not stopped him
from ensuring that spring flowers are in
bloom throughout the community. Our
annual Easter Egg Hunt should be filled
with the laughter and excitement of
grandchildren, great grandchildren and
even a few great, great grandchildren
as they collect the hidden treasures
Peter has left for them. Hopefully, you
have helped him along the way by
dyeing a few Easter eggs yourself.
Not to be out-done by the Easter
Bunny, our culinary team is planning
a wonderful Easter Brunch. Of course,
your family and friends are welcome
to join you for Easter brunch. Simply
call Victor Hamilton to make a
reservation. I am sure they’ll enjoy
the food and company. Who knows,

Peter Cottontail may even leave them a
hidden surprise to remind your guests
of how special Kirby Pines truly is to
everyone.
Now is the time to don your Easter
bonnet, put on your best duds, and
enjoy the sunshine and spring flowers
around the community. Just be sure to
watch out for Peter Cottontail as you
go about your business. After all, you
don’t want to startle him or he might
not leave you that special chocolate
egg. Happy Easter!

A special thanks goes out this month
to our adventurous residents, who
were willing to suit up and squeeze
into the passenger seat of a NASCAR
Nationwide and Cup Style racecar and
take a few spins around the track.
The front cover features new residents,
Jim and Shirley Anderson, and on
the back is, resident, Pat Watson. All
three, as well as resident, Glenn Wall,
traveled at speeds up to 121 miles
per hour for 3 laps at the Memphis
International Raceway on their 3/4
mile oval track in Millington.
Everyone who came out had a great
time! (See additional story on page 8)
