Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
Lawsuit
Town of Carolina Shores (plaintiff) vs Carolina Shores POA (defendant)
The final ruling is posted on the Town’s website under news. Both the Town and the POA had the right
to appeal but neither chose to do so.
The Town of Carolina Shores is a member of the POA by owning lot 44 on Carolina Shores Parkway and
lot 1 on Persimmon Rd. The suit was filed by the Town to negate previous dues, fines, and restrictions
as outlined in the Deed of Restrictions (DOR).
The results are as follows-
The Town asked to be removed from the POA jurisdiction but the judge denied the request. This means
the two lots owned by the town can only be used for single family housing. Previous improvements to
these lots remain in place; however, hence forward DOR restrictions prevail.
The ruling defines the Town of Carolina Shores as a non-profit municipally, and therefore is deemed as
tax exempt. This means the town is not subject to annual dues or fines.
We hope that both parties can move forward as this is in the best interest of everyone.
CSPOA Directors
Resident requests from the last Board meeting-
Residents along Carolina Shores Parkway and Pinewood have been working with the Highway Patrol and the Sheriff’s Department to slow down the speeders on these roads. The speed limit is 25mph but vehicles have been estimated to be traveling in excessive of 40mph. I have contacted the Town Administrator for his advice in solving this problem. The residents were asking about speed bumps.
Brunswick Electric recently trimmed trees along Pinewood and left the debris on the undeveloped lots. I talked to BEMC about this problem and the subcontractor is required to remove the trimmings. They are to notify the subcontractor to remove this debris.

Recreation Facilities – Kelly Wilson
POOL, TENNIS AND REC-AREA INFORMATION
With the pool deck recently getting its yearly power washing along with the rest of the rec area we will be re-sanding some of the trouble spots we had last year from all the dampness. We will also be repairing and re-sanding some of the pavers that have sunk down and bring them back to level along with the sidewalk area to the pool.
Staining of the benches at the Boccie Ball courts and painting others will begin in April also to refresh everything for the upcoming season. Rock will be moved from the pool area to open it up more.
Pool furniture that was used last year will be getting a face lift and furniture will be washed and cleaned for the upcoming season. With some restrictions being lifted, as to outdoor pools, we will open up completely to all members again this year and wait before opening if restrictions need to be in place. We are planning on a Mother’s Day weekend opening and hoping everything will be back to normal. As last year, keeping our own members safe is our highest priority.
We should be hearing shortly from the company on the repair of the tennis courts and costs. As soon as we know more we will pass this along. Tennis is still being played Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays 8:30 to 9:30. Pickle Ball is being played Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesdays and all are welcome to play.
The Recreation Area has undergone a transformation for the upcoming season. We had trees removed to open and clean the area up, helping in air circulation. Power washing of the walking areas, signage and pavilion area all have been completed. The parking area will be receiving its topcoat next month with new lines painted. Please watch for dates when the rec area parking will be closed off for this.
Pool Attendants Needed
We are looking for anyone in our neighborhood that may be willing to work as a pool attendant or back up attendant for the upcoming season. Days would be 2/3 days a week with other days available before opening for one and a backup attendant on call for when needed. Anyone interested please contact Kelly Wilson at 704-517-0538 for information.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
As always, you can call the ACC for guidance with any questions regarding planned projects or alterations. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
IMPORTANT: We seem to have a much larger number of unpaid invoices than normal this year. Annual POA dues that have not been paid are now considered delinquent. We will be sending out late letters on April 1, 2021. These letters are sent certified mail and regular mail and advise members who have not paid that we will be seeking collection within thirty (30) days or a lien will be filed on the delinquent properties. Please avoid receiving this letter by checking your records to make sure that your dues have been paid. If your records show payment, please do not call the office. If you are uncertain whether you paid your dues, please call the POA office at 579-2044.
Low Impact Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
Chair Aerobics will be
exercising Monday through Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the pavilion. You will need
to bring a folding chair, weights and a bottle of water. Wear layers of
clothing to be prepared. No class if it rains. Hope to see everyone there.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Just a reminder that open tennis is
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. Everyone showing up will get to
play. Hope to see you out there.
Believe it or not the weather is improving so the starting time for open tennis has gone to 8:30 a.m. Another reminder to get your shot(s) for covid-19.
Pickleball - Rick Griffith & Sue Berger
NEW OPEN PLAY SCHEDULE
TUESDAY, 5:30 p.m., THURSDAY, 9:00 a.m. and SUNDAY, 1:00 p.m.
April is here and it is getting warmer, and our days will be longer. All the more reason to get out and play pickleball. Pickleball is a great sport to play to stay active and meet new people. It is the fastest growing sport in the U.S. for people over 55.
Wear Tennis shoes and comfortable clothing. Paddles and Balls are available to use. Pickleball is somewhat COVID safe. The sport is played outside, and 6 feet distancing is maintained most of the time.
Never played and interested in learning? We will teach you. Check out this site on how to play: How to Play Pickleball - USA Pickleball or go to www. USAPickleball.org. Also, stop by the courts during Open Play and check it out.
Contact us to schedule a lesson or if you have any questions:
Rick Griffith 419.262.3832 / GriffithRJ@hotmail.com
Sue Berger 919.410.1221 / LeeSueBerger@gmail.com
We hope to see you at the courts!
Library – Sue O’Reilly
Now that the clubhouse is open, we can again access
our library. It is an "on your honor" collection - take what you wish
and return when you can. All returns should be placed in the plastic bin by the
window.
We can always use popular fiction and non-fiction, both paperback and hardback and current issues of magazines of general interest. All donations should be placed in the plastic bin by the window. Our volunteers will shelve the books. Since our space is limited, books with a copyright from ten (10) years passed to the present one can be included (i.e. c2011 to c2021). The copyright is usually on the back of the title page. We cannot take over sized "coffee table" like books or those of a specialized nature. No How-to, cookbooks, computer instructions, financial advice, and the like. Audio books on disc would be very welcomed as well as puzzles. If you are donating a puzzle, please put the pieces in a plastic bag. Thank you in advance for your donations and adhering to the guidelines.
Quilting News – Gloria Gustavson
Attention Quilters: With the opening of
our POA clubhouse, we are happy to say that we will again be meeting as a
group. This is also an invitation to all who are interested in quilting to come
join us. We are scheduled to meet the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month at 10
a.m. in the POA clubhouse.
If you have any questions, you can call either Inez Barrett at 575-0779 or Gloria Gustavson at 910-297-0066. Our first meeting will be April 9. See you then and bring all your COVID inspired projects for Show and Tell.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
The knitting group is
meeting in private homes for now. The meetings for April will be on the 12th
and and 26th 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
After a year of gathering outside at the pavilion, our group was finally able to meet in the clubhouse again with thirteen members attending. While wearing masks and sitting several feet apart in the large room, we enjoyed discussing our two reading selections from February, Clock Dance by Anne Tyler and Library of the Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick, as well as our March title, The Indigo Girl by Natasha Boyd. As usual, there were quite a few varying opinions about all three books, but we agreed that they were excellent choices for our group to read.
Our next meeting will be held at the POA clubhouse on Friday, April 16, at 10:00 a.m. Our reading selection for the month is The Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah. All interested Carolina Shores readers are invited to join us to discuss this compelling novel written by one of today’s best-selling authors.
Garden Club – Mary Conover
Our March meeting was held on the 10th with a terrific turnout. The warm sunshine and exciting program certainly helped! Our speaker was Mary Keefe, owner of Yardbird Emporium in Calabash. She shared general information on local birds, birdhouses and particularly Hummingbirds and Bluebirds. It was very informative!
The next meeting will be Wednesday, April 14, with an opportunity to get together under the pavilion, while practicing all the required safety precautions. Our speaker will be Wanda Maggard, Master Gardener, who will speak to us about deer resistant plants. A reminder to members that April is our traditional "Plant Exchange," where we bring indoor/outdoor plants, books, tools, etc. to exchange with like-minded gardeners.
The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of each month, September to May, at 1:00 p.m. Dues are $10/year. The pavilion is located at the Carolina Shores Recreation Area, next to the pool. Please contact Joanne Bendy at (910) 575-0071 if you have any questions. Meanwhile, stay safe and healthy!
POP UP BIRTHDAY PARADE – Joyce Dunn
If you were anywhere near Canal Way
Court on March 1, your ears were probably pounding from all the honking horns.
The noise was made by people attending a special Pop-Up Birthday Parade that
was held to honor Marlene Stewart. Twenty or more cars lined up and drove by
Marlene, who was sitting in her driveway. There were birthday cards, balloons
and flowers everywhere. Each car got a chance to stop and personally wish
Marlene a happy birthday. For the past several years Marlene has been very ill
and unable to participate in her usual activities. She has long been a mover
and shaker in our community, so her friends wanted to let her know she is not
forgotten. It was a great parade and Marlene really enjoyed the day. CLICK ON PICTURE FOR ENLARGED VIEW
Care Team – Flo Pflaster
For those of you who have volunteered to
help others by being on the Care Team, here is how you make sure you are
getting notifications when I post a request:
How to control all email notification settings (including groups)
1. Log in to nextdoor.com and click your profile picture in the top right corner.
2. Select Settings from the drop-down.
3. Select Notifications from the left menu:
4. Next to Email Notifications, select Edit
5. If you set Updates from your local area to None then you will not receive email notifications from your groups.
6. If you set it to Only top posts or All you will get an email for every new group post. (choose this one)
Note: Adjusting these settings will affect all your email notifications, not just for groups.
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. There are not many calls for help, but people are so very grateful for the assistance they do get! It really does not 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 will do my best to find someone.
Thank you,
