Family Movie Night: Ferdinand
2019-07-13 20:30 - 23:00 (America/New_York)
FERDINAND (John Cena) was born to be a fighting bull, bred to compete with matadors in the Spanish bullfighting ring. But he prefers flowers and friendship to training and fighting, which disgusts and mystifies many other bulls at the farm, including tough Valiente (Bobby Cannavale). When Ferdinand discovers the true fate of fighting bulls — death, not the glory promised by Ferdinand’s powerful father (Jeremy Sisto) — he makes a desperate bid for freedom and finds a happy home at the flower farm of Juan (Juanes) and his daughter, Nina (Lily Day). Life is beautiful on the farm until the fateful day Ferdinand is mistaken for a dangerous beast and forced into a matador battle. Can he escape without anyone getting hurt — especially him?

Family Movie Night: Karate Kid
2019-08-03 20:30 - 23:00
In THE KARATE KID, after moving from New Jersey to a small apartment complex in Southern California with his single mom, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) finds himself an outsider at his new suburban high school. The cool guys in school drive expensive convertibles and take karate so seriously that they’re more than happy to beat Daniel silly again and again. Daniel’s one pretty friend Ali (Elisabeth Shue) is unfortunately also the ex-girlfriend of Daniel’s chief bully, blackbelt-champion Johnny (William Zabka). Unable to adequately defend himself, Daniel turns to his apartment’s Okinawan super, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), for help. Miyagi agrees to teach Daniel karate — but in his own, unique way. After some unorthodox training (waxing cars, sanding floors, painting fences, catching flies), Miyagi convinces Johnny’s aggressive karate instructor (Martin Kove) to make his pupils back off … until the next karate championship.

The established committees consist of: Activities; Engineering; Finance; Landscaping; Membership; Operating; Planning; Publications; Swim Team.
