•, t
In case of an accident or emergency,
having a 911 cell phone can bring help
fast! Don't throw your used cellular
phone away. Instead donate it so that
senior citizens in the village can use
them during emergencies.
The North Palm Beach Department of Public
Safety collects used cell phones to provide as a
free service to senior citizens. The phones will
have only one capability - to call 911 in an
emergency.
If you would like to donate a cell phone to this pro-
gram you can drop it off at the police department
(560 US Highway 1) anytime. Older phones or
phones in need of serious repair will be sold, with
the proceeds used to fund various community
service needs.
If you are interested in obtaining a phone, contact
Sergeant Dallesandro at 841 -3300 or email at
adallesandroCc?village- npb.orp.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
I know you will be taking mom out for
dinner to give her a break from cooking
and that's my cue to remind you that
cooking is our number one cause of
home fires. The number one reason for
this is unattended cooking.
In these busy times we get distracted by the phone
or someone at the door or the kids with that must do
school project, and we leave something cooking on
the stove. By the time you return a fire has started.
Please don't fall victim to this all too repeated story.
If you must walk away from the stove, even for what
you think will be "just a minute" turn the stove off,
turn those pot handles in so they don't hang over
the edge to be knocked over and resume cooking
when you return and can stay with it.
If you have any questions regarding cooking fires; or
any other fire safety topic, please contact us at
(561) 882 -1141.

From the Director
While we may not all be able to hit 300-yard drives or spin a wedge back on a green, there is something we all
can do to greatly improve our scores. We can all try to learn to make more putts.
I could give you a lot of information on what type of putter to use; how to grip your putter and how to make a
great stroke, but I'll save those lessons for another time. This month I'm simply going to give you a game to
play to help get your mind trained to try to make more putts. Use 3 balls and find a fairly flat, fairly straight, 15'
putt. Putt all three balls and follow these four rules...
Make all 3 = You Win!
Make 2 of 3 = Move 3' closerto the hole and putt again
Make 1 of 3 = Putt again from same distance
Make U of 3 = Move 3' furtherfrom the hole and ;putt again
Keep playing until you make all 3 balls from the same distance. If you get 30' away, start over at the 15' mark.
If you're struggling with the game„ you may want to begin 12' from the hole. In addition to hopefully being a fun
way to practice putting; there are several great things this game does:
• Instills the habit of trying to make ,putts from these lengths
• Teaches you distance control in 3' increments
• Forces you to concentrate on EVERY putt (at least if you want to make all 3)
• Trains your mind to be positive by seeing putts go into the hole
Try this game the next time you have 10 minutes or so to hit some putts. You might be surprised h
can improve your putting and have you making more putts on the course!
