Message from the Board – Al Franklin, President
If you attended the holiday party I hope you had a good time. It takes a lot of time to plan a dinner of this size. I would like to thank Sue Hensler and her committee for taking the time to plan everything. Thanks for a job well done. Also thanks to Marjorie Peterson for taking the nice pictures at the dinner and thanks to Gary Stewart for posting on the POA website.
This time of the year we all look back and say where did this year go? The POA Board of Directors looks back at what the Board has accomplished. In 2017 the Board has accomplished the following:
1. The pool area was our biggest project. The area was landscaped, and a drainage pipe was installed to prevent the pool deck from flooding from rain storms.
2. The entrance areas to our community were landscaped and irrigation was installed in some locations. We want to thank the Town of Carolina Shores for cooperating and giving us easements to work on their property. The entrance areas really look nice.
3. The social committee added many activities to the schedule including get togethers at the pool in the evening, and different social activities at the POA building. I understand that all who attended had a good time.
4. The Architectural Control Committee has been hard at work trying to make sure all of members adhere to the Declaration of Restrictions. You may have noticed that several of the vacant lots have been cleared. You will see more lots being cleared in the next several months.
I would like to thank the Board of Directors and the Architectural Control Committee for their hard work this past year. These individuals volunteer their time to serve the community. Also, we cannot forget the many volunteers who serve on the committees. Without these volunteers it would take a long time to get anything accomplished.
Also, we cannot forget the office staff, Merrilee Burns and Chris Arrotti. These two ladies go above and beyond to give assistance to our members. If it was not for them, the POA would not operate as well as it does. Thank you, ladies, for a job well done.
THANKS TO ALL FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!
The Board already has a couple projects on the schedule for the year of 2018. They include a pavilion in the picnic area and the remodeling of the POA office area.
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS CHRIS ARROTTI and MERRILEE BURNS

Special Note to Pet Owners, Drivers, and Walkers
Everyone in this community needs to read the following message.
We live in a community with no sidewalks and limited lighting.
As a dog walker, please pick up after your dog. No one likes that surprise.
Walking after dark…please wear something reflective because a flashlight shining at the ground does not help a driver on a dark street.
Drivers…please, please, please...slow down and help to keep our community safe.

Renegade News – Julie Farrell
On December 7th, the Renegades held their annual Christmas golf outing and dinner. Golf was cancelled due to a rain out. However, 22 Renegades and their guests attended the Christmas dinner at the Parsons Table. In the spirit of the Christmas Holiday, the Renegades donated $200 to the South Brunswick Interfaith Food Pantry.
The Renegades league play is on Thursday morning at Carolina Shores Golf Course. If you have just moved to the area or if you lived here for years and would like to play in an 18-hole league, contact Debbie Creamer at 575-8163. New Members are always welcome.

The sign-up sheet is in the POA clubhouse on the bulletin board, located behind the door to the library.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
The tennis community lost one of its own when Tom Brendgord passed away. Tom was a very good, classic tennis player. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Anne and the rest of the Brendgord family.
The open tennis program is alive and well here at Carolina Shores. Open tennis occurs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 a.m. Everyone showing up will get to play. Just a reminder that the drinking fountains at the recreation area have been winterized and not are available for supplying drinking water. So, everyone using the recreation area, including tennis players, should bring their own drinking water.
A huge “thank you” goes out to the
Recreation Committee for doing all the behind the scenes work for the Holiday
Party on December 3rd AND for all the fun activities throughout the
year! The venue, food and music for the Holiday Party were great once again.
The turnout was excellent, and it was so nice to relax and visit with neighbors
and friends. The POA office received great feedback from happy party goers….
Once again, thank you for everything.
South Brunswick Interchurch Council – Mary Pritchard
Many, many thanks for $1341 in donations to the SBIC Christmas Turkey Dinner Project. This community is very generous toward others. On Saturday, December 16th, the goal of 145 dinners was reached and 24 volunteers distributed the dinners along with the other groceries at the food pantry operated in Shallotte. The smiles did not stop that morning--both on the volunteer faces and the recipients. A special thanks to our C.S. golfing groups--the Renegades and the Men's Golf Association for their donations.
Garden Club – Joanne Bendy
We enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Luncheon held at the Carolina Shores Golf
Clubhouse.
Roadside Wildflowers of North Carolina is
the January 10th program. Derek Smith from the NCDOT will be
our presenter.
Garden Club Card and Game Party – Elaine Southard
February 7th is the Luncheon, Card and Game Party at the elegant Surf Golf and Beach Club.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
The Carolina Shores Book Discussion
Group met in the POA Library on Friday, December 15th. The reading selection
this month was A Man Called Ove, by Fredrik Backman. In this Swedish
novel the title character, Ove, is a miserable neighborhood curmudgeon who
spends his days inspecting his community and criticizing others. After his
handicapped wife dies and he is forced to retire from his job, he decides that
there is no reason for him to continue living. However, his plans for making
an exit from the world are soon interrupted when a delightful young family
moves in next door and changes his outlook on life. This heartwarming yet
humorous story was enjoyed by most of our members and generated a very pleasant
discussion.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, January 19th at 10:00 a.m. at the POA Clubhouse. Discussion of the book Commonwealth, by Ann Patchett, will be followed by our annual post-holiday luncheon. Everyone is asked to bring a light dish or appetizer to share. If you love to read and talk about what you have read, we would love to have you join us!
New Horizons – Carla Urban
![MCj04398570000[1]](January%202018_files/image016.png){kind=small}
Our
December 12th meeting was held by the "Tea Lady" and seventeen ladies
enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in her beautifully decorated home. The seven
courses were served in the most professional and pleasant manner. It would be
hard to decide which part was the best. The food, the company, or the setting.
Our January meeting will be on the 8th at the POA club house. All new and longtime singles are invited to join us to help start out with the new Year plans. We meet at 5:00 p.m. and we all bring a dish to share. Bringing your own beverage is a good idea. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our readers!

AARP Foundation – Barbara Hutton
Volunteers Needed!! The AARP Foundation sponsors the nation’s largest, free tax counseling and preparation service, Tax Aide. The service is provided by volunteers who have completed classes in tax return preparation and have passed an IRS exam. A tax or financial background is not necessary, and volunteers bring a wealth of diverse experiences to their work.
In the Calabash/Sunset Beach area the Tax Aide site operates at the Hickman Crossroads Library. For the past two years over 600 returns were completed. Many clients return year after year based on their satisfaction with the program. Many Carolina Shores residents use this program.
We are looking for new volunteers to participate in this opportunity. If you enjoy working within your community and helping others, we invite your consideration. All training materials are provided and hands-on training will be completed in January. Tax preparation begins February 1, and you would work one 4-hour session per week for 10 weeks, concluding with the April 15 tax deadline.
Additional information is available on the AARP website (aarp.org). You do not need to be an AARP member to participate.
You may contact Local Coordinator (and Carolina Shores resident), Barbara Hutton, at 910-579-5324 or barbqlts@atmc.net.
If you have any interest at all, please call, ask questions, and consider the possibilities. Thank you.
Care Team – Flo Pflaster
The Care Team now has 23 people
available to help neighbors in need when a request comes to me. If you want to
be a part of this team, or if you no longer want to be on the list, please let
me know. When a call for help comes to me I reach out to the members on
Nextdoor. I don't get very many calls for help, but people are so very
grateful for the assistance they get! It really doesn't take much to
volunteer. An occasional ride, help with a small chore at home, a temporary
need for dog walking, etc. is usually what is needed.
So, neighbors, continue to let me know if you need help and I'll do my best to find someone. You don't have to be on Nextdoor to request help.
Thanks,
Flo Pflaster
