I just returned home from our monthly VOE (Villages of the East) meeting which is held at 9:00 AM on the first Wednesday of every month in the card room at the East Clubhouse (which you are welcome to attend). I suspect many of our residents don’t realize how much is going on in the “east” and therefore don’t take advantage of the varied activities being of-fered, therefore I am taking the opportunity to spread the word.
Aside from tai chi, water aerobics and tennis, the newest sport everyone seems to be trying is pickle ball. I am happy to report that 2 pickle ball courts have just been added to our repertoire of sports games that the Aberdeen East Clubhouse now offers. Less strenuous than tennis (I’m told) pickle ball is played with a ball and paddle on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings in the tennis court area where organized play is scheduled. Complimentary equip-ment is available for learning purposes and if you are interested in learning/playing this new and popular game, give Lisa a call at the Clubhouse Office to gain access to the paddles, etc.
For those of you who lobbied for a bocce court, now is the time to show your interest. It’s fun, it’s healthy and you don’t even have to be Italian to enjoy it!
If you love a good party, the VOE is planning a Memorial Day Pool Bash on May 30th with a DF, karaoke and refreshments – again, call Lisa at the of-fice for more details or to sign up.
A request – some of our residents have been experiencing issues with telephone reception. We are anxious to resolve them so if you are encountering static or lost calls, please keep a log of the dates and times over a 2-week period and get it back to me so I can hand it over to our Comcast rep at our next POA meeting.
A second request – some of our residents have seen their neighbors walking through their back yards with their pets, leaving their animals droppings behind. Please note that the place to walk your dog is either on your personal property or along the public sidewalk and/or grassy divide between the sidewalks and the roadways, always picking up any droppings to be wrapped appropriately and discarded in your trash. Your neighbors’ back lawns are off limits to your animals and their owners.
There have been no closings over the past 4 weeks and there are no properties for sale in The Shores, although I know of at least one prospective purchaser who is actively looking to purchase a unit. Seems they “fly off the shelf’ as soon as they are listed. Isn’t it nice to know that our units are in great demand!
Apropos our “Thirty Plus” party, you may re-member Barbara Ladd snapping pics through the afternoon, well, these photos are now available for your viewing pleasure, just give me a call at 733 -4117 and we will make the album available to you. Also mentioned at our party, your board now has on file copies of every floor plan in The Shores. If you don’t have one for your unit and would like to get a copy, please call Diane Greenberg.
NEIGHBOR NEWS
Welcome back to Jane Massi and Bill Palmese who returned recently from their honeymoon cruise.
Saul and I spent a week in Orlando in a gor-geous time share, enjoying some R & R time with our daughter and grandson who flew in from Ottawa, Canada.
Sad news – a few days after our “Thirty Plus” party at which we feted our oldest HOA president, we regret to advise that Marty Summit passed away peacefully in his sleep and joined his beloved wife Mollye who preceded him in eternal rest.
Finally: “mea culpa” – in my last article I inadvertently omitted to thank Joan Nicolazzo our newest board member for helping out at our “Thirty Plus” party. Joan worked with Diane at our entry desk and was instrumental in setting up the buffet lunch, making it a delight to the eye. Your help was greatly appreciated.
For the snowbirds on their way back up north – have a safe trip.
There will be one more edition of the Aberdeen Times published before the summer hiatus, so if you have some news you would like to share with our fellow – Shores residents, please email it to me at [email protected] or call 733 -4117 and I will be pleased to include it in my June copy.
