Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
The office renovation is complete and the CSPOA staff has moved into their new quarters. The remodeling and upgrades are fantastic. Kelly Wilson, our board member who oversaw and participated in the remodel, made tremendous improvements to our office. The clubhouse has been thoroughly cleaned and organized with a few new improvements too. Come visit and see the new look!
Joanne Bendy, president of the garden club, has graciously agreed to have the garden club design a plan to upgrade our entryways. Over the last year, many of our shrubs have died due to various reasons and most have been removed. The current flowers will remain throughout the summer and in the fall new shrubs will be added.
Our ACC works diligently to keep our neighborhood uniform and attractive, which enhances our real estate values. The ACC volunteers donate countless hours for the betterment of our neighborhood. The Board’s goal, in conjunction with the ACC, is to ensure compliance of our rules and regulations. The rules and regulations are allowed by the Declaration of Restrictions. The Board studies, reviews and adopts the rules and regulations in open meetings seeking guidance from our members. If you receive a letter stating a violation, there is a simple solution. Call or email Joe Martere at the office and ask how to comply with the rules and regulations-IT’S THAT SIMPLE. If the ACC and the Board cannot resolve the violation with the property owner, then our last recourse is through fines to the property owner. We treat every property owner the same; the same process, and the same fines.
Finally, I hope each property owner is proud of our neighborhood and commons areas. The office is updated, the pool has been upgraded several times, the tennis courts have been resurfaced and the pavilion was constructed for the benefit of our property owners. We encourage you to enjoy these facilities this summer!
The new directories for 2019 are available now at the office.

Office Renovation News – Kelly Wilson
Office renovations were completed June 14 and the office opened up to business as usual on Monday morning with new surroundings. The new office area is open and inviting to all visitors, weather it’s just for information, making inquiries or filling out paperwork. All are welcome. The entrance on the side is now open for the office and after you walk in you will see the lobby area on the right, housing the copy machine, a table and chair for your convenience, ACC forms, and the office counter.
The clubhouse and library will be open on Friday morning, June 28, for business as usual for all clubs and members. We completed a deep cleaning with a fresh coat of paint and touch up from the office area through to the bathrooms. Folding chairs and tables are now housed in the rear storage area of the clubhouse for use within the clubhouse and available to our members to sign out for personal functions. Please see the office personnel to sign out. The front storage area has been supplied with shelves for clubs to use as storage and keep their belongings inside the clubhouse. We ask that the proper tubs/bins be used to store items and that they fit on the shelf. Any items too large for the shelf area must be removed. Items inside the cabinet area are for POA items only.
We want to thank everyone for their cooperation and working with us as we went through this transformation and hope everyone has a chance to enjoy.
Welcome to Summer – Kelly Wilson
With the end of another school year and the wide variety of out of state license plates, we again welcome all our members to another Carolina Shores summer. Hot days mean a trip to the beach with visiting family and friends or a relaxing afternoon at the pool. We wish all our members another safe and enjoyable summer weather traveling or just staying local.
The Carolina Shores POA recreation area is the ideal place to enjoy your day, weather your having a birthday, graduation celebration, family reunion or just a family fun picnic under the pavilion before heading over to the pool. Tennis, pickle ball and bocce ball are also available for all to enjoy, or just staying cool in the pool is always welcome.
We ask all members visiting any of our amenities to please follow all rules for your safety. At the pool please make sure you have the proper swimwear for children including vests (no inflatable water wings are allowed in the pool). Drink plenty of beverages to stay hydrated and food is allowed in the pool area and you must clean up after yourself to continue this privilege. Please return umbrellas back to the down position when leaving the pool. Again, thank you and welcome to summer.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
The ACC guidelines for the placement of sheds have been revised for those lots at the end of a cul-de-sac such as Topsail Court and Canal Way Court. This will be approved on a case by case basis. Please remember to apply for approval prior to installing or construction of any outbuilding.
We are in the process of getting some unimproved lots cleared and bush hogged. The ACC has a three (3)-year occurrence schedule for these lots and are working through the list in segments. Not all lots are being required to be cleaned this year. Those owners whose lots were determined to be done in 2019 have been notified, and the ACC is overseeing their compliance.
Reminder: ANY work done on the exterior of you home requires prior approval from the Association through the ACC. This includes:
· the cutting of any tree over six (6) inches in diameter.
· placement of contractors’ signs on owner’s property while having work done. This is allowed ONLY after you receive a permit from the ACC. Please stop by and get one if your contractor wishes to place his sign at the time work is being done. It must be removed within 24 hours of completion of the work
· painting of house or replacing roof shingles, even if you are using the same color.
News Splash! – Kathy Whalen
Water Aerobics is every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There is a second water aerobics group that will
meet every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Both groups will be from 9:00 a.m.
to 10:00 a.m. throughout the summer. Bring your weights, noodles, water, sun
lotion, and a onetime fee of $5.00. Come on down to the pool and join the fun
with friends. It’s time to shape up by starting your mornings off with
stretching, moving and grooving to the oldies.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Well the air you can wear is upon us.
Remember to hydrate when working or playing outdoors. Open tennis is alive and
well and starts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. If you are new
to tennis, just show up and you will get to play. If you are a more advanced
tennis player, we will try to hook you up with other players of the same skill
level.
Should tennis not be your thing, we do have four pickle ball courts for your use. Hope to see you out there.
Recreation Committee – Sue O’Reilly
Hope everyone is enjoying their
summertime activities, relaxation and family gatherings. Our Happy Hour in the
Park will take place on Friday, July 19, at 5:00 p.m., as usual. Bring a snack

![MCj04398570000[1]](July%202019%20bulletin_files/image005.png){kind=small}
The June
meeting on the 11th was our last one until we meet again on September 10. Our
meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the POA
clubhouse.
We are looking forward to having many more singles join us at that time. You are always welcome to come to a meeting to enjoy the good food and very nice conversation. Until then wishing everyone a safe and happy summer.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
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 Library. 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 meetings in July will be on the 8th and 22nd at 6.30 p.m.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Our Book Discussion Group meeting took
place outdoors under the new Carolina Shores pavilion on Friday, June 21. We
enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful weather as we talked about the books we had
read. Our two selections for the month were Port Chicago 50 by Steve
Sheinkin and Friends and Enemies by Kate Alexander. While both books
were set during World War II, their stories were very different. Port
Chicago 50 is the true story about a group of African American sailors who
were court-martialed and convicted of mutiny when they refused to continue
loading ammunition after experiencing a terrifying explosion that killed 300
people and destroyed the entire port where they were stationed in California.
Most of our group were not aware of this event before they read the book and
were saddened and shocked to learn about this tragedy. Friends and Enemies
is the story of a love affair between a young English woman and a German Pilot
who are forced to put patriotism above passion after the war breaks out and
they must fight for opposing sides.
Our next meeting will be held in the POA clubhouse on Friday, July 19, at 10:00 a.m. We’ll be discussing In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende. If you’d like to escape the North Carolina July heat by reading a story that takes place in Brooklyn during a freezing winter snowstorm, read the book and come join us for the discussion!
Care Team – Beverly Rowse
The Care Team now has twenty-three (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. You can call me at 919-271-3005
