The Social Committee Report by Gloria Knittle
The Social Activities Committee along with Diana Griffiths are working on our Welcome Wagon
program to welcome new families to our community.
Colleen Coale will continue to coordinate our Happy Hours. A suggestion was made to move our
Adult Pool Party to after Labor Day so as to not disrupt the usage of the pool.
New Business
A request was made by a family member of a deceased homeowner for an exception to our rule
regarding yard sales. The family member would like to have an estate sale now to expedite the sale of
the property. The Board is aware that special circumstances sometimes require exceptions to this rule
as and such voted to approve this request for a ONE DAY sale only.
Old Business
The new phone directory is ready for review by the community. Gloria will attach a copy of it to her
newsletter. We are requesting that homeowner review their information and make any necessary
corrections. The distribution method(s) of this directory has not been finalized at this time.
Being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM.
Respectively submitted, Jan Albright
The August 2019 Pool Party, with the theme of “Havana Nights”, proved to be a huge success. The fun was there for everyone, with souvenirs, Cuban fans and hats and a complimentary Mojito to start the night off. We enjoyed singing and dancing to a variety of Latin music played by our favorite DJ, Paul Mayer. Dinner included Cuba Sandwiches, Havana Chicken, Spanish rice, purple cole slaw, and fruit salad. The food was managed by Jim Hayn. Desserts served was a cake decorated like the Havana theme, lemon bars and mini cheesecakes. The weather was perfect for an evening outdoors.
I wish to thank all of you who took part in making this a fantastic party. Coleen Coale

September Dinner
Great discovery! On Thursday September 19th. when about 30 of us entered the doors of The Lobster Shanty, everything became almost magical after that. A funky little place in the marsh with great views to offer of the wetlands and the wildlife. For a better view you can ask for binoculars. The bar was awesome with a bartender that really made you feel like he was glad you were in his bar. The real experience came when we entered the dining room with a staff that was totally prepared for us. The staff was amazing as they truly made us believe it was their privilege to serve us and serve us, they did, with some of the most delicious dinners that I have ever eaten. Everyone seemed to share this opinion with me. This has become my favorite restaurant and I can’t wait to go again. Owners David and Janet Twinings secret of success is a pleasing decor, attentive staff, and an interesting menu with quality ingredients. They definitely nailed it....And that’s the way I see it.
