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.
In a couple of weeks, we will be moving forward into a new year, 2019. Looking back at 2018, the Property Owners Association (POA) has installed pickle ball courts, installed a gate between the tennis courts, removed trees at the pool area to allow more parking, started construction on a pavilion at the recreation area, started remodeling the POA office to make it user friendly, and have ongoing projects to improve the appearance of our community. The POA Board members should be commended for the time and effort that they give. As President, I see and appreciate their dedication.
The POA attorney has given us a ruling on recreational vehicle parking when preparing to go on a trip. A procedure will be developed in the next few weeks.
As you know, the community has had several vehicles broken into and items taken. One individual that had items stolen, mentioned to me that the person has been caught. This is very good news.
I hope everyone has a very happy and healthy 2019. Also, if you have an interest in volunteering in the community contact the POA office.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
The ACC hopes everyone had a very Merry Christmas and wishes you a happy and healthy New Year.
The ACC will be doing a check of all un-improved lots to determine which ones need to be cleared/bush hogged this winter. Owners will be notified by mail and have 45 days to complete the required work. In addition, a survey of all real-estate signs will also be conducted during the month of January to determine if they are still valid. Remember that all signs (of any type) require prior approval from the ACC. Please complete the sign permit application before placing a sign on your property.
Also, please remember that ANY work done on the exterior of your home requires prior ACC approval. This includes, but not limited to, painting your home the same color, replacing roof shingles of the same color, adding shutters or gutters, replacing doors or windows, etc.
At the direction of the Board, the ACC has been asked to develop language for a change to the DoR and the Rules & Regulations regarding parking of motorhomes overnight. This will be presented to the Board at their January meeting.
The ACC office is manned Tuesday through Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. until noon. If you have any questions, please stop by the office. You may also reach the ACC by e-mail at: acc@carolinashores.net
Grounds – Joe Watts
During the November POA Board meeting, the directors approved a new vendor, Total Lawn Care and Landscaping, for our ground’s maintenance. This new contract is more comprehensive and includes items not previously requested and assigned. Our new maintenance schedule is for one day a week for 51 weeks a year. During the fall and winter, the prior schedule was for every other week.
The natural areas at the entrance to the tennis courts and pool were cleared and cleaned in November and will be regularly maintained throughout the year. The winter pansies were planted in December, and other improvements are in process.
The Ladies Garden Club decorated the wall in front of our clubhouse and the entrance to the clubhouse, as well as planting winter flowers in front of the office area . The Recreation Committee decorated all the entrance signs with wreaths and garland for the holiday season. A special thank you to them!
Please note the construction is under way for the pavilion and upon completion, we will work on repairing and improving the grounds disturbed by the construction. We ask for your patience during the construction period as the estimated completion date is March of 2019.
Our goal for 2019 is to make the commons areas more appealing, and to maintain and enhance the
grounds to reflect our pride in ownership. Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS KIM TANCH and MERRILEE BURNS

Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy New Year!
Open tennis is still a great way to stay(get) in shape. Open tennis happens every Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning at 9:00 a.m. Everyone showing up will get to play, no matter your skill level. Look forward to seeing you out there.
For those not sure that tennis is their bag, there are 4 Pickle Ball courts available at the recreation area.
Because of the construction going on in the recreation area, when using the tennis/pickle ball courts please consider parking on the grass near the courts. This is temporary until the construction is complete at the picnic area.
Low Impact Chair Aerobics– Mary Timothy
LOW IMPACT CHAIR AEROBICS started on November 5th at 9:15- 10:15 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. This exercise class is excellent for those that have difficulty with a regular aerobics class. This class will include weight lifting and core strengthening while sitting. Leg lifts will be done while holding on to a chair. Then will be followed up with low impact movement without a chair. Weights will be needed. I suggest starting with one-pound weights. Without investing in weights, bottles of water, cans and such can be used if they fit comfortably in your hands. Ankle weights are optional. Come to get in shape and have fun. Contact Mary Timothy for more information at mtmothy@atmc.net.
Recreation Committee – Sue O’Reilly
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope all who attended our Holiday Party December 2018 enjoyed the evening,
meeting with friends and neighbors, to share the festivities and good cheer to start off the joyous
season. It’s so nice being with those in our close community “partying” and joining in with the spirit of
fun and good times and for a time, forgetting the stress that sometimes accompany holiday obligations.
We look forward to future times together!
We will begin planning for 2019 activities soon, and first will be BINGO at our POA on Sun. Feb. 10th at
3 p.m. Same as before-bring a snack or finger food to share and join your neighbors in a fun afternoon. Details will follow at a later date.

season, the Beautification Committee decorated the POA wall with two wreaths, garland

members.
Micro greens: How
to grow and use them to enhance recipes is the program for our January 9th
meeting at 1:00 p.m. at the POA clubhouse.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Happy Holidays from the Carolina Shores Book
Discussion Group! With so many of our members
planning to be out of town on the third Friday of December, we did not meet this month.

Did you know Carolina Shores has an evening knitting/crocheting/needlework group? We meet every other Monday at 6.30 p.m. in the POA Board Room. If you knit, crochet or do other needlework, stop by and join us. We’d love to see new faces.
The group meets and shares patterns and expertise. We work on a variety of projects including sweaters, cardigans, afghans, shawls, cross stitch, arm knitting (that was a blast!), etc. Usually we even have dessert!
Our next meeting will be on Monday, January 7th at 6.30 p.m.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
POA Library – Sue O’Reilly
In this age of Kindle and other digital reading devices, there are less books being bought and passed down, at least
so, it seems, judging by our library donations. If you have any popular fiction or non-fiction titles that you have finished with, they can find a temporary home in our library to be enjoyed by others. Please only titles copyrighted from 2009 to 2019. Anything older can be donated to thrift shops or the public library. We have limited shelf space so can’t accommodate any “how to” books or those of a specialized nature. Deposit all donations in the plastic bin please—do not shelve. Thank you!

Thank you to Beverly Rowse for
volunteering to take over the Care Team as of January 1, 2019.
After many years of coordinating the Team, I have decided to step down. For those on the Team, nothing will change except that you will get notifications from Bev instead of me when someone needs help.
For those in our community that need help, please call Bev as of January 1. Her number is: 919-271-3005.
As always, please remember that this if for short term, temporary help for specific needs. It is NOT a solution to a long-term need.
AARP Foundation – Barbara Hutton
