INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MOTHER’S DAY:
- “Ma” is Universal: The word for mother in many languages starts with “m” because that sound is often the easiest for infants to produce.
- Most Phone Calls: More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year, with approximately 122 million calls in the U.S.
- The Flower Tradition: Carnations are the official flower, popularized by Jarvis. Pink/red carnations symbolize mothers who are alive; white carnations represent those who have passed, serving as a poignant reminder of their everlasting presence in our hearts.
- Late Card Buying: Approximately 65% of all Mother’s Day greeting cards are purchased in the final five days before the holiday.
- Mother’s Day is for all moms of every kind: From birth moms to stepmoms, grandmothers, aunts, adoptive moms, fur moms, and other motherly figures who play important roles in our lives, Mother’s Day is a day to honor their tireless devotion and celebrate the diverse forms of motherhood that shape our lives.

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION WEEK – 04/19/26 – 04/25/26:
It’s a great time to celebrate the people who give their time and energy to support our community. HOA volunteers—including Board members—wear many hats, balancing life as neighbors while helping guide the community forward. Their dedication, teamwork, and willingness to step up (even when it’s not always easy) make a real difference. We’re grateful for all they do!
NEW OWNERS AND TENANTS OF SANTEE VILLAGE:
We take pride in ownership within our community. If you are new to Santee Village, please review the HOA’s Rules & Regulations and CCR’s. If you’re a landlord, please provide a copy of the Rules & Regulations to your tenants. Unfortunately, new tenants are often not informed that Santee Village is an HOA-run property, nor are they provided with our rules, which results in unnecessary problems for everyone. Please help us avoid problems by informing tenants of expectations and providing a copy of our Rules & Regulations to them.
APRIL IS NATIONAL POETRY MONTH:
Throughout April, poets and literary communities celebrate with workshops and events. It’s a great time to step outside your comfort zone and try writing your own poetry—there’s no right or wrong way to express yourself. For more information and local workshops, visit the Academy of American Poets at poets.org.
