The Master Board did not meet in December, so a brief summary of our January meeting will appear in the March edition due to the timing of our meeting schedule and publication deadlines.
We were very fortunate to enjoy beautiful weather over the holidays while friends and family were visiting. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces throughout the community—on the golf course, at the pool and Cabana, and along our walking and biking paths. Let’s hope we’re just as lucky as winter and spring break visitors arrive. Even better, our days are now getting longer, giving us more time to soak up the sunshine.
If you’re looking for new artwork for your home or a fun outing with guests, don’t forget about the many nearby art fairs and festivals held throughout the spring. These events typically feature a wide range of mediums, including paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, pottery, and more. Best of all, most offer free admission.
After being closed for 14 months, the newly renovated South County Regional Library on Three Oaks Parkway officially reopened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 7. The library has resumed its pre-renovation hours: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday; and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
With cooler temperatures in December—and so far in early January—I haven’t seen many alligators. That said, wildlife is always nearby. During one ladies’ golf day, this turtle made a leisurely crossing of the #7 fairway and kindly paused for a photo (photo credit to Peggy R.). I hope you have a few moments throughout the month to enjoy our little oasis in what is becoming an increasingly busy area of Estero.
