Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
I wish Everybody would read my article. I hope Somebody or Anybody will read it, and I will be disappointed if Nobody reads it!
“This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.” (Author unknown)
I use this story in reference to the rules and regulations of CSPOA our neighborhood. Everybody must follow the rules. When Anybody wants to make improvements to the exterior of their home, they must ask Somebody. This Somebody is the ACC in the form of a request for a permit. When Nobody asks Somebody, and does improvements without a permit, consequences will follow. Then Somebody gets blamed for what Anybody and Everybody should have done, but Nobody did.
Everybody (each member) is responsible for their actions and the consequences. There is no point in blaming Somebody or Anybody when infractions are levied with fines when Nobody did what was required. Anybody got any questions? I am sure Somebody will.

2021 BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION – Nominating Committee
We are asking property owners in good standing to
consider serving on the Board of Directors. We all have something to contribute
and service on the Board will allow you to put your knowledge, skills and
experience to work, making Carolina Shores Community the best place to live.
Nominations will open on September 27, 2021 and will close on October 30, 2021.
Applications can be picked up at the CSPOA Office during regular business hours from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon or from the POA website at www.carolinashorespoa.org. If you have any questions, feel free to call the CSPOA office or a current board member. Thank you for considering for being a member of your POA Board.
Term of Office is for two (2) years.
Four (4) Director positions are open.
Recreation Facilities – Kelly Wilson
As we begin to close our door on summer and welcome the cooler temperatures of fall, we can all be thankful for a summer back to normalcy where we were able to welcome members and their guests!
With the temperatures falling, especially at nights making for cooler days, water aerobics and open swim come to an end, but at the same time pickleball and tennis ramps up! Happy Hour in the Park still occurs on the third Friday each month, and pine needles are falling like rain!
We continue to anxiously wait for the courts on one side to be repaired and painted. Bocce Ball will also be a sport that continues through the cooler weather.
The final days of water aerobics will be October 1 and 2, with a special encore on Sunday, October 3, to close the pool for the season. We will see you on Mother’s Day 2022 when the pool opens again!
We accomplished many tasks this year from planting palm trees, resealing the parking lot and basketball half court and also added lines to the court, re-slinging pool furniture, and we continue to paint posts at the courts.
We are happy everyone that visits the recreation area is able to enjoy the amenities of our community.
ACC Corner – Bill Rose, Chairman
I may be sounding redundant, but “where are the homeowners that complain about homeowners not following the rules and regulations by others, but do not step up and assist the ACC in following up on complaints?” We need your help as a committee member as much as we need all homeowners to follow the Declaration of Restrictions (DoR) and the Rules and Regulations (R&R).
Now that summer is over, it is time to look around your home to see what may be done to maintain or improve the looks of your largest investment. Follow the DoR and R&R and fill out the proper form for your particular task. Office staff is willing to assist you. ACC current timetable to act on your requests is on Tuesday of each week, but for new construction or home alterations, it is on the first Monday of each month.
Please plan ahead as contractors, suppliers and tree companies may not be able to meet your needs as soon as you want. Please remember when you want to remove a tree, there are two (2) forms (CSPOA form and Town form) you need to complete and return both forms to the POA office. The office will then fax the two (2) forms to the town.
I do hope that all have had a pleasant summer.
Recreation Committee – MaryAnn Williams
In lieu of the previously planned Fall Fest, we will
instead hold a very special October “Happy Hour in the Park” on
Friday, October 15, at 5:00 p. m. at the POA pavilion by the pool. Break
out your dancing shoes! DJ Jay Kinlaw will be joining us and taking
requests for your favorite tunes including oldies, shag music and line dances!
Bring your favorite beverages (adult or otherwise) and whatever snack you may want and enjoy what could be our last Happy Hour gathering of the season, depending on future weather. If it’s cool enough, we will break out the fire pit and even have s’mores! Come and join us at what we believe is the biggest and best picnic pavilion in all of Brunswick County.
Never been to a Carolina Shores Happy Hour? October is a great time to join us. There is no program - just a fun, casual way to meet new friends and neighbors and connect with those you already know.
“Happy Hour in the Park” - it’s just one of the many reasons why
Carolina Shores is a great place to live!
HALLOWEEN PARTY – Mary Timothy
Yes, we are having a
Halloween Party at the POA Clubhouse on October 31, which is a Sunday. Please
bring a dish to share and BYOB. Festivities will start at 6:00 p.m. Costumes
are mandatory. We will be playing many games with prizes. Also, a prize for
best costume. It is lots of fun. Come and have a good time.
Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
Chair aerobics will
start when the pool closes. An email will be sent out then. Aerobics will be at
the pavilion on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 a.m. Bring a chair, 1 or
2-pound weights and a bottle of water. Once the weather gets cold, we will move
indoors at the POA clubhouse on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Chair aerobics
will only be three (3) days a week. No cost.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
The knitting group meets at the POA
clubhouse.
The meetings for October will be on the 11th and 25th at
6:30 p.m.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
Quilting Group – Gloria Gustavson
We welcome quilters of all levels to
join us. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month, September thru June,
at the POA at 10:00 a.m. Come join us. Need more info? Call Inez at 579-0779 or
Gloria at 910-297-0066.
Please Note: The SCISSOR MAN is scheduled to come to the POA parking lot on October 22 at 9:00 a.m. This is available for the ENTIRE COMMUNITY. He will sharpen not only scissors but knives and garden tools.
Mark your calendars!
Garden Club – Linda Rugg
Our September 8 meeting featured Master
Gardener, Carol Kendall, who presented her program on Coral Bells (Heuchera).
Carol explained about the different types of Heucheras and how to care for the
plants.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 13. You don’t have to be an expert gardener to join. The Garden Club is for anyone who enjoys and appreciates the beauty of nature. It’s also a way to meet new friends and socialize.
The Christmas Luncheon, with a choice of entrees, will be on Wednesday, December 8, at Brunswick Plantation. Also, there will be entertainment. The price is $21.00. Tickets will be on sale at the October and November meetings.
The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of the month, September to May, at 1:00 p.m. at the POA clubhouse, 17 Lakeview Ct. Dues are $10/year. Please contact Joanne Bendy at (910) 575-0071 if you have any questions.
Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
The Book Discussion Group met in the POA clubhouse on
Friday, September 17. We began by discussing this month’s reading selection, Courting
Greta by Ramsey Hootman. An unconventional story about the love between two
“flawed” high school teachers who have both had a lifetime of difficulties and
disappointments, this novel can be described as quirky but heartbreaking,
uplifting and honest.
Our second order of business was to select the books that we plan to read during the next 12 months. Each member submitted the title of one book to be included on the list. It looks like this is going to be a great year for reading as we received some exciting and diverse book recommendations! A complete list and meeting schedule will be compiled and distributed to members. We will also include the list in the November POA Bulletin.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, October 15, at 10:00 a.m. in the POA clubhouse. We will be discussing The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. As always, we invite any Carolina Shores residents who enjoy reading and talking about what they have read to join us!
Pickleball - Rick Griffith & Sue Berger
Exciting News!
Our new, permanent, dedicated pickleball courts should be ready by November 1. The contractor is expected to start on the courts around October 18. Once the courts are completed, we will schedule a "Beginners Pickleball Class". We look forward to having many new players join us on the courts.

Care Team – Flo Pflaster
We have many volunteers
on the Care Team, ready and willing to help our neighbors with temporary
assistance. I will do whatever I can to find someone to help - all you have to
do is call or email me!
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,
