While Cathie and I, and some Carolina Shores friends, spent time in Key West (The Conch Republic and the Halloween Fantasy Festival are---unique), and then went on a cruise in the Eastern Caribbean, the rest of the Board was finalizing the 2011 budget. They also reviewed plans to make health and safety improvements to the office area of the POA Clubhouse, reviewed specifications for enhancing the security features at the pool and picnic area, worked with our landscape contractor to improve our irrigation system and bush hog some buffer zones. Carolina Shores Annual Holiday Party We are holding our Holiday Party off site. The reason we are doing this is because the Brunswick County Fire Marshal has determined that the maximum safe capacity of our club house is 150 people. In order to have enough room for every resident to attend the party and stay as long as he or she wants to stay, we needed to find a location that is not restricted by this capacity. By the way, the 150 person capacity isn’t a suggestion, it is an absolute maximum. If the Board chose to ignore this maximum capacity and someone was injured or worse, the board and the community would be in a morally and legally indefensible position. Our recreation committee has solved this almost unsolvable dilemma by obtaining the exclusive use of CAPTAIN JOHN’S SEAFOOD HOUSE on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, FROM 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. A CASH BAR IS AVAILABLE – THIS IS NOT BYOB.

Recycle Center—Joyce Dunn It’s time to get a New Recycling Center Sticker for the Town of Carolina Shores. Beginning in 2011 the Town of Carolina Shores will issue new recycling center stickers (in a new color) for residents every two years. The one currently on your vehicle will expire on February 11, 2011. To get a new sticker you must apply at Town Hall on any business day from January 3 to February 10, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. When you come, bring with you a current driver’s license and the registration card for each vehicle you wish to register. If you are renting a property in the Town of Carolina Shores and wish to obtain a recycling sticker, you must present your driver’s license and registration, along with a copy of your current lease or a utility bill and a letter from the property owner authorizing you to use the recycling center. Stickers issued to property renters must be renewed once a year. If you own a rental property in the Town, please be sure to inform your tenants about this change and give them written authorization to use the recycling center. The present stickers will only be good until February 11. After that date you will be turned away until you have the proper identification sticker to enter the center. By issuing new stickers on a regular basis the Town will be able to ensure that the recycling center is used only by legal residents of the town for disposal of their own trash and/or yard waste and not by people who have moved away from the Town or by business owners trying to dispose of commercial debris.

There were 12 members including two new members present. First we discussed "The Nanny Diaries" by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. The group was disappointed in the Nanny Diaries mostly because of the flawed characters of the nanny's employers. They were not kind or considerate, thinking only of impressing others of their own class of people and ignoring their only child in the process. But there was some humor in the situations in these houses of the super rich. There are times when it seems both sad and humorous to ordinary people. Nanny was a wonderful, kind person who put up with it all as she was working her way through college. She was the one that possibly saved the life of her charge, "poor little rich boy Grayer". Nanny really cared about him. The second book discussed was "Strength in What Remains" by Tracy Kidder. Everyone who read this book loved it and urged those who did not get to this second book to take the time to read it. The December Meeting will be on Friday, December 17. The book to be discussed will be "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. The meeting will be at 10:30 a.m. followed by lunch at Noble's in honor of Cynthia Swanson who will be moving. Cook’s Club News -- Dot Robertiello & Suzanne Kirksey Everyone met on November 2 for the "Soup Extravaganza". I am sorry that I was unable to attend as I was just too busy in sunny Florida.

Kathy E. made" Italian Sausage vegetable Soup", Kathy K. made "Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup", Grayce made "Lettuce Soup" and Joan K. made "Cream of Mushroom Soup". Everyone was delighted with the variety of soups. The next meeting of Cook's Club will be on December 7. We will be celebrating "Christmas Brunch" with your choice of goodies. Remember to come at 11:00 a.m. as we are back to back with the painting class, which starts at 1:00 p.m., so we must be done by then. We look forward to seeing you and tasting your brunch dishes on December 7 at 11:00 a.m. Bring your friends and neighbors to join us in this celebration of the taste buds. If you have any questions, call Dot at 579-1407 or Suzanne at 579-4172. New Horizons -- Betty Bond Jean Jann promised us a "surprise" for our November meeting. She truly "out did" herself and presented us with a Thanksgiving dinner. Jean went all out and we all have to extend a big THANK YOU to her. Our next meeting will be our Christmas luncheon. This will be held at Crow Creek on December 7, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. The cost of the luncheon is $20.00 per person. The club is going to pay $3.00 per person (the gratuity) so each of us is responsible for $17.00. If you plan on attending, please be sure to give the money to Pat Ferstler by December 4. Dues will be due at our January meeting. $5.00 per year, a real bargain! Here's wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year.
