Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
Our members continue to be involved with issues that concern our neighborhood! The following two issues are external to our development but may have considerable impact on the quiet enjoyment of our residential community.
The directors are appreciative of the number of residents who participated in the NCDOT Survey concerning the Hwy 31 extension. New larger maps of the various concepts are in the office for your review. The survey results will be available sometime on or about June 2020. The goal is to narrow the concepts to 3- 4 options, at which time detailed studies will begin. More public presentations and hearings will follow, according to NCDOT.
The opposition to South Park, from residents of the Carolina Shores Golf Community, gathered approximately 275 signatures on the petition requesting the relocation of the public park on Country Club Road. This group presented the petition and information to the Town of Carolina Shores Commissioners on February 6. As a result, the town called for a special public meeting, specifically about South Park on February 11. The commissioners voted to discontinue the current plan for South Park and to return the site to an open green space. Any future development suggestions will be presented to the Commissioners from the Parks Commission.
Some of the mailboxes in our neighborhood need attention. Our addresses are not always in numerical sequence; thus, it is important that these boxes be clearly marked with the appropriate house number for emergencies. Reflective numbers are available at the fire department. Thank you-
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS LINDA RUGG and MERRILEE BURNS
IMPORTANT DATES:
March 11, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. – MONTHLY BOARD MEETING
ALL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
IF YOU ARE NOT ON OUR FREE COMMUNITY EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST, PLEASE CONTACT THE BUSINESS OFFICE. YOU MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE EMAIL ADDRESS PER HOUSEHOLD.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
This month the ACC would remind all homeowners that their A/C and propane tanks must be screened as to not be visible from any street or recreation area (visible from the golf course does not apply). We have been receiving several requests for inspection of possible violations of this guideline and are addressing them by notifying those owners of their infraction. The guidelines are available online at the http://carolinashorespoa.org/ website, and at the POA office.
If you should receive a letter from the ACC, please respond within the seven (7) days as requested. When you respond with your plan of action, the ACC will implement a follow-up date. This way we will know that you are aware of the problem and what steps you plan to take to address it. If you do not reply as the letter requests, we will be required to send a second letter to you which will require you to appear before the Board.
Please comply with our first letter to avoid an escalation of the problem. As always, if you have any questions, you can call the office or e-mail the ACC directly at: acc@carolinshores.net.
NOTICE
For the members that use the POA clubhouse regularly, please remember to complete the Clubhouse Schedule Agreement for 2020. We need this information to know who is using the clubhouse and who to contact if we need to make any changes in the schedule. Merrilee and Linda appreciate you cooperating with this policy. Thank you.
REMINDER
Please remember to notify the office if you change your phone number, email address, name, or mailing address. It’s very easy to overlook this, but difficult for the office should we need to contact you. Thank you.
Carolina Shores 2018 Volunteer Luncheon – Sue Hensler
Calling Our Volunteers
If you are one of those special people who volunteered for POA-sanctioned activities over the past year, Carolina Shores Board of Directors wants to celebrate your volunteerism with a luncheon. So, if you served on the ACC or recreation committee or organized member events, be sure to make your reservation. The luncheon is Sunday, April 19, at 2:00 p.m. at the POA clubhouse. Lunch is provided by Art Catering. Call the POA office at 910-579-2044 by April 10 to secure your seat at the table.
Library – Sue O’Reilly
A THANK YOU to all who
are observing the guidelines for donations to our POA library. We have
dedicated volunteers who help in shelving and overseeing the books and puzzles
that circulate. It makes our job easier if what we can't use is not left in the
library. What we don't take can be donated to our local thrift shops or to the
Public Library for their sale room, which raises funds for library use.
Recreation Committee – Sue O’Reilly
Two meaningful March dates will coincide
with the social activities planned for the month. Sunday, March 8, is the start
of daylight savings time and it is Trivia Time!
Light up those gray cells and join your neighbors in a friendly game of Trivia at the POA clubhouse at 3:00 p.m. Form a team of six or come and join others to form one as we try to answer questions both factual and frivolous. Sharon and Mike Donahue will again MC the game. Bringing a treat for the sharing table will add to the enjoyment. Water, soda and ice will be provided, but you can bring a beverage of your choice.
Friday, March 20, is the first day of Spring and Happy Hour in the Park!
Hoping Mother Nature will cooperate, we will start our seasonal "Happy Hour in the Park" activity at 5:00 p.m. under the Pavilion in the picnic area. Come and join neighbors and friends, both old and new, in an informal gathering to begin our 3rd Friday of the month get-together. A contribution of a snack, hors d'oeuvre, finger food, etc. will be put on a sharing table for all to enjoy. Bring your own beverage of choice.
Mah Jongg Lessons – Marjorie Pettersen
Introduction to Mah
Jongg. If you were ever curious about Mah Jongg, a fun fast-paced tile game
that originated in China, please let me know. I will offer lessons in my home
in a nice relaxed environment, no pressure to learn it all at once. Contact
Margie at 860-307-3175
or kmem53@gmail.com
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Just think about it, March is the month
that we turn the clocks one hour ahead and Spring arrives. If we could only get
rid of all this rain, open tennis would operate on schedule. Open tennis is
growing and going strong. It occurs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00
a.m., weather permitting. You only need to show up with proper footwear and a
tennis racquet, or borrow a racquet from one of the players, and you are
guaranteed to play.
Anyone using our courts needs to know that our bathrooms and water fountain are turned off for the colder months. Hope to see you out there.
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 boardroom off the kitchen. 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 March will be on the 2nd, 16th and 30th at 6.30 p.m.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
Low Impact Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
Chair Aerobics meets every Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Yes, five days a week.
The class is for everyone and there is no charge. You will need one-pound
weights for beginners. Advanced students use your own judgment on weights.
Garden Club – Carol Filkins
WOW! Successful
fundraiser and a great Card/Game party was had by all. Everyone had fun and the
turnout was good.
Our next meeting will be March 11 at 1:00 p.m. at the POA clubhouse. The speaker will be Lindsay Adams from Hughes & Hughes Nursery. Spring is just around the corner, and Lindsay will show us new plants and talk about existing plants you currently have. There will be a question and answer time.
Looking forward to seeing old and new members.
Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
The Book Discussion Group met on Friday, February 21,
to discuss The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. This
heart-wrenching novel about a young Slovakian Jew who was imprisoned at Auschwitz in
1942 and forced to tattoo numbers onto the arms of thousands of
incoming prisoners, tells an unforgettable story of hope and courage amid
atrocity.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, March 20 at 10:00 a.m. in the POA library. Our reading selection for the month is The Book of Dreams by Nina George. If you live in Carolina Shores and enjoy books and reading, we would love to have you join us!
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. Help with a small chore at home, an occasional ride, 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
