Message from the Board – Jeff Alt, President
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeff Alt, and I have recently been elected as president of the Carolina Shores Property Owners Association Board of Directors to replace Joe Watts.
First, I would like to thank Joe Watts, the out-going president, for his service to the CSPOA and to the community. Joe resigned from the Board of Directors and as the board’s president in July. The Board reluctantly accepted his resignation, and we wish him well.
Second, Mr. Chris Edwards has been appointed to the open position on the Board of Directors and is now in charge of Grounds.
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS LINDA RUGG and MERRILEE BURNS

ACC Corner – Tom Wright, ACC Chairman
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I have been in this neighborhood for the past seven years and I am pleased to take on the responsibility of helping Carolina Shores maintain its seaside charm, as well as the market values for each owner. The primary purpose of the architectural guidelines is to ensure any changes or additions are consistent with the community’s overall design and aesthetics. Carolina Shores POA and the Town of Carolina Shores work in conjunction with each other to assure homes are within the North Carolina and federal safety guidelines for today’s construction parameters. Both entities are concerned with maintaining the forested areas and work to trim and replace our trees according to the best forestry practices.
We are fortunate to have Committee volunteers that are familiar with the standards and experienced in the process of reviewing permit requests. We owe these volunteers our gratitude for giving their time each week to review the permit applications with a courteous and polite manner. Carolina Shores POA maintains diligent records of your homes, improvements and surveys that are available to all owners.
If you are thinking of making any outside changes or improvements, whether it be a simple paintjob, tree removal or more involved projects such as new driveways or roofs, please contact the Carolina Shores POA office Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to Noon or download the permit application forms from the Carolina Shores POA website (www.carolinashorespoa.org). Let us help you navigate through the process to support our properties’ charm and home values.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Our August reading selection, The Lincoln Highway, is
a road trip book that follows the escapades of two boys in the 1950s who set
out to find the mother who abandoned them. Even before they leave home, their
trip is hijacked by two other boys who lead them on a collision course across
the country. This novel, by Amor Towles, has been described as a “wonderful,
heartfelt, and unforgettable read” and invoked a wide range of feelings among
our members.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, September 15, at 10:00 a.m. at the POA clubhouse. We will be discussing the novel, Horse, by Geraldine Brooks. At this time, we will also be compiling our reading list for the coming year. Each member is invited to submit the title of one book to be included on the list. Members who are unable to attend the meeting may send their submissions to Pat McKay.
