Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
It is surprising that shortly after Labor Day each year the season starts to change and is enjoyed by all of us. We enjoy the change from dry, hot and humid days to crisp cooler mornings and chilly nights. The walks on the beach are more inviting and pleasurable. The yard work slows down and our time outside is more agreeable to each of us. Carolina Shores is a wonderful place to live and embrace a less hurried life. We are all blessed to be here! The Seven Wonders of the World story below brings a different perspective from places to us as individuals. I hope you enjoy reading!
The Seven Wonders of the World
A group of American school children were asked to list what they thought were the present “Seven Wonders of the World”. Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1-Egypt's Great Pyramids
2-Taj Mahal
3-Grand Canyon
4-Panama Canal
5-Empire State Building
6-St. Peter’s Basilica
7-Great Wall of China
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So, she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. “Yes, a little the girl replied. I could not make up my mind because there are so many”. The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help”. The girl then read the following:
1-To see
2-To hear
3-To touch
4-To taste
5-To feel
6-To laugh
7-To love
The most precious things in life may be right in front of you!

ACC Corner – Joe Rochel, ACC Chairperson
Well looks like Autumn is finally going to be here this Month. I wish everyone a wonderful new season. I have a few new topics to address to the community.
I am pleased to say we have closed three new homes that were in construction. I am sure the homeowners nearby these new homes are pleased!
The concrete headwalls in our neighborhood are showing signs of aging from the exterior elements of rain, cold and sun. My suggestion for all is to monitor the headwalls on your property for signs of cracking and leaning due to rain erosion around the base of the headwalls. I know firsthand it is easier to address these issues earlier than later. Please remember we have a list of masonry Contractors that have been doing work in Carolina Shores. I believe they will assist you fixing small fractures/cracks. Please don’t hesitate to call if you need help.
You need a permit for a steel construction debris container from the CSPOA office. Please obtain a permit to avoid receiving letters of violation. I am sure you will be happy to hear these permitted containers CAN be placed on your driveway! Please don’t place these on any grass area since that would be a problem. I am grateful for your assistance.
And, last but not least is my recommendations about lawns and shrubs for this time of year. I guess by now you are getting use to me passing on my lifelong quest to have a great yard! So let me get to the point. This month is a GREAT time to put down a fall/ winter mix of high phosphoric acid fertilizer mixed with weed prevention to stop the fall weeds from starting to grow in your lawn. Due to the cooling down temperatures, now is a good time to trim those evergreen shrubs to a shape you like. REMEMBER do not trim more than 50 percent of any shrub; that would injure the shrub and possibly kill that shrub you like. The best time to trim deciduous shrubs, meaning leaves that fall of in winter, is when the leaves are almost completely done. The trimming will help them grow stronger next spring. I will continue with information like this in this winter starting November. There are certain trees best trimmed later in November to January. For more information, contact the Master Gardeners in Bolivia.
JOE’S SAYING: “HELP ME HELP YOU”.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Choosing books to read during the coming year was the main order of business at our September meeting. Each member submitted one title to be included in our reading list for October 2022 through September 2023. It’s always exciting to see what books our members come up with, so it was a very enjoyable meeting.
We also discussed the novel Hanna’s Daughters by Swedish author Marianne Fredricksson. Translated into English from its native language, it is the story of the relationships of three generations of mothers and daughters set among the frigid lakes and mountains near the border of Sweden and Norway beginning in the 1870s. While the story was at times difficult to follow due to alternating time periods and similar character names, we enjoyed learning about formerly unknown (to us) pieces of history such as the 1870s Swedish-Norwegian Union Crisis and reading about the lives of the hearty women and men who inhabited this region.
On Friday, October 21, at 10:00 a.m., we will meet at POA clubhouse to discuss the first book on our new list, The Maid by Nita Prose. The meeting will be followed by an Octoberfest themed pot-luck luncheon with members bringing a dish to go along with the theme. Please contact Pat McKay by e-mail or phone (910-579-9550) to let her know what food you are bringing to share.
As always, we invite all interested residents of Carolina Shores to join us. October would be a great time to try us out since we are starting on our new reading list which will be published in its entirety in the November Bulletin. Anyone desiring a list of books before the next bulletin comes out may contact Pat McKay or Susie Riggs (843-340-3822) for a copy.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
The knitting group will meet this month
on the following Mondays, October 10 and 24, 2022, 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
The quilters meet on the 2nd and 4th
Friday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at the POA clubhouse. Our group is small,
and we would love to grow and meet new folks. We welcome quilters of all
levels. If interested, come check us out. If you have any questions, you
can call me at (910) 297-0066.
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 need 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,
