Homeowners and their families enjoyed a party at the pool with fun music, games and prizes!

Lifestyle Update:

I hope you enjoyed the recent Entertainment Showcase presented by William Clare Agency. Thank you for all your comments sheets and for supporting this event. This season is certainly going fast and can you believe it’s time to plan for our New Year’s Eve Party? If you would like to volunteer to be on this working committee to help determine the theme, caterer, entertainment and décor, please sign up at the Box Office and we will let you know when we will have our first meeting. We have 11 openings for this committee.

Thanks to the success of the HOA shows this season, the HOA is able to provide live music by the pool throughout the summer at no charge to residents! Join us on many Saturdays from 2 to 5 p.m. with your friends and neighbors for a fun afternoon. Our first event will feature live Jimmy Buffet music on May 19. A schedule of performers and dates is available at the clubhouse. Thank you for your support of our shows. See you at the pool!

Happy Spring, Darlene Goss, Social Director
