Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
Everyone celebrates the holidays according to their separate heritage, traditions and beliefs, but one of the common denominators that bring all people together is a desire to live in peace, harmony and happiness. It is a passion shared by all and it is best achieved through cooperation, compliance and respect for one another.
Carolina Shores is comprised of people of varying differences, but we are all connected by the fact that we share our community. During this holiday season, as we celebrate in our own tradition, let us embrace the spirit of unity, harmony and peace. May your home be filled with much happiness, love and good health this holiday season and a very Happy New Year.
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS LINDA RUGG and MERRILEE BURNS

Recreation Committee – Sue Hensler
Happy holidays to
everyone. The recreation committee is looking forward to the New Year hopefully
with lots of activities for our members. Over the next few months be safe and
healthy.
The Recreation Committee
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
The ACC has completed an inspection of unimproved/vacant lots in our community. Letters will be sent to all owners whose property requires cleaning.
I would like to address the requirements for placing a sign on your property. All signs require approval by the ACC. You complete a Sign Permit Application and submit it to the office. If you do not hear from the ACC, you can put your sign on your property. The ACC will check the sign during its regular property visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays to make sure it meets the requirements. If it does, it will be recorded in the database. No further action is needed from the ACC or you. The form states all the restrictions regarding size and placement. All sign Permit Applications need to be received in the office before placing the sign on the property. All signs, regardless of the message, require approval from the ACC. If the sign is of a nature that does not agree with the CSPOA policy, you will be notified immediately. Please contact us if you are unsure or have any questions.
Have a safe and happy holiday season. Remember the office will be closed December 24 until January 4, 2021. No inspections will take place during that time, so if you are contemplating doing anything, please drop the proper forms in the office mail slot in the office door and we will contact you after we re-open.
Please know that you MUST sign your name when requesting an inspection of a possible violation of the Declaration of Restrictions or Rules and Regulations or anything you may have a problem with. The ACC DOES NOT act on anonymous requests. Your name is held in strict confidentiality.
NOTE
Invoices are being mailed out December 30, 2020 for the 2021 year’s dues. If you have not received the invoice by January 10, 2021, please call the office at 910-579-2044.
If you CANNOT pay the annual dues IN FULL by February 28, 2021, PLEASE call the office. Payment plans are available, but you need to let us know. It is better to communicate early with us if you may have difficulty paying your dues all at once. All these transactions are confidential.
There will be a late fee if not paid by March 1, 2021 and subsequently, if not paid by June 1, 2021, a lien will be placed on your property

Garden Club – Mary Conover
The Garden Club continues to monitor the
status of the pandemic and we are planning accordingly on a month-to-month
basis.
Our January meeting will be an opportunity to get together under the pavilion, weather permitting, while practicing all the required safety precautions. Bring your questions and our Master Gardener members will answer them. We all learn so much from everyone's questions and answers! We will also assess the current situation with the pandemic and discuss any potential plans for February and March.
The Carolina Shores Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of each month, September to May. Dues are $10/year. The Pavilion is located at the Carolina Shores Recreation Area next to the Pool. Please contact Joanne Bendy at (910)575-0071 if you have any questions. Meanwhile, stay safe and healthy! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Welcome 2021! We
survived 2020 and welcomed a new vaccine to get back to normal (whatever normal
is). We are still hosting open tennis every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Open
tennis starts at 8:30 a.m. and continues for around two (2)-hours. Just show up
and you will get to play. Tennis is a great way to shed some of the holiday and
Covid-19 weight gain we all experienced. Hope to see you out there.
Pickleball - Rick Griffith & Sue Berger
Happy New Year!
I know we are all glad to get 2020 behind us. Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to get active, get in shape and meet new people? Then Pickleball could be what you are looking for. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the U.S. for people over 55.
We have Open Play on Tuesdays and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. at the Tennis Courts in Carolina Shores. Wear Tennis shoes and comfortable clothing. Paddles and balls are available to use.
Pickleball is somewhat COVID safe. The sport is played outside, and 6 feet distancing is maintained most of the time.
Never played and interested in learning? We will teach you. Check out this site on how to play How to Play Pickleball - USA Pickleball. Stop by the courts during Open Play and check it out.
Contact us to schedule a lesson or if you have any questions:
Rick Griffith 419.262.3832 / GriffithRJ@hotmail.com
Sue Berger 919.410.1221 / LeeSueBerger@gmail.com

Low Impact Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
Chair Aerobics will be
exercising Monday through Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the pavilion. You will need
to bring a folding chair, weights and a bottle of water. Wear layers of
clothing to be prepared. No class if it rains. Hope to see everyone there.
Care Team – Flo Pflaster
Flo Pflaster will take over the coordination of the
Care Team immediately. We have many volunteers willing to help for short term
needs. We will ask everyone to comply with current Covid-19 restrictions so it
may be difficult to find someone to help with certain needs. We will do our
best during these trying times.
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,
Flo

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
The book discussion group met outdoors under the Carolina Shores pavilion on Friday, December 18. Although the weather was chilly, we were able to brave the cold to discuss this month’s book, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni. Most everyone agreed that this story about a boy who is born with ocular albinism, a condition affecting the color if his irises, was heartbreaking but also uplifting.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, January 15, at 10:00 at the pavilion next to the tennis courts. Members can choose to read one or both of our January selections, The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls by Anissa Gray or Empty Mansions by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr. All Carolina Shores residents who enjoy reading and discussing what you have read are invited to attend!
