Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
It’s All About Time
Author Unknown
Time is slow when you wait. Time is free, but it is priceless.
Time is fast when you are late. You can’t own it, but you can use it.
Time is deadly when you are sad. You can’t keep it, but you can speed it.
Time is short when you are happy. Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back.
Time is endless when you are in pain.
Time is long when you feel bored.
Every time, time is determined by your feelings
and your psychological condition and by the clocks.
So have a good time ALWAYS!
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS LINDA RUGG and MERRILEE BURNS

ACC Corner – Joe Rochel, ACC Chairperson
Hello, my fellow Carolina Shores Community homeowners,
I want to state the obvious, Spring does seem to have arrived since the flowers are showing bright and the pollen has finally stopped, I hope. I would like to suggest to all our gardeners that this is a good time to finish trimming the shrubs that were missed this winter. Examples are the Crepe Myrtles that have not started blooming. Spring lawn fertilizer is best put down when the temperature is above 50 degrees. Two applications in the spring usually works the best.
The ACC volunteers have noticed a rise of “Request for Inspection” submissions coming into the office. Please make note that most of these requests come from Carolina Shores homeowners and require the need for the ACC volunteers to go out to investigate the issue being reported. The ACC rarely writes up a report for inspection. If the request is a valid violation, then the ACC does issue a violation letter. Please note that when you receive a letter to please respond within seven (7) days. That will help you resolve the issue quickly and fairly.
The ACC has also noticed in increase in open burning in the Carolina Shores community. There is no outside burning allowed in Carolina Shores. This restriction is found in the “Rules and Regulations” section VI “Property use and maintenance responsibilities”, Paragraph 3. Also, in the Declaration of Restriction, Section 6 “General Prohibitions and Requirements”, Paragraph 15 reads “No trash, ashes, garbage, or refuse shall be dumped, stored or accumulated on any Lot in the Subdivision.” No outside burning of wood, leaves, trash, garbage, or household refuse shall be permitted. These occurrences are a fineable offense.
JOE’S SAYING: “HELP ME HELP YOU”
Recreation Committee – Mary Ann Williams
Happy Hour in the Park
It’s time to dust off your picnic basket and cooler and join your friends and meet new neighbors at the first-of-the-season’s “Happy Hour in the Park”! This fun, very informal event happens the third Friday of each month at 5:00 p.m. April’s event will be held Friday, April 21, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the POA pavilion, next to the pool. BYOB and any food items for the “sharing table” and enjoy an early evening get-together for conversation and camaraderie. There are no organized plans - just a great opportunity to meet and greet new neighbors you may not know and connect with those you do.
Memorial Day Weekend Picnic
The Carolina Shores POA annual Memorial Day Weekend Picnic returns on Sunday, May 28. Tickets will be distributed by members of the Recreation Committee from Monday, May 1, through Thursday, May 11, at the POA clubhouse (not the office) from 10:00 a.m. until noon, including Saturday, May 6, for those who work. Due to parking constraints, there is a limit of 325 tickets, so get yours early - first come, first serve! (No tickets will be issued after the deadline, and no one will be admitted without a ticket.) Tickets are complimentary to POA residents only. Due to the continued growth of our neighborhood, we will not be able to accommodate outside guests at this event.
As in the past, this year’s event will be catered by Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N’ Bar-B-Q of Shallotte. BYOB and any sweet dessert that you might want for yourself.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
The Book Discussion Group met on Friday, March 17. We
discussed two books, Sunflowers Beneath the Snow and Where the Forest Meets the
Stars. Both books were highly rated by our readers. Sunflowers Beneath the
Snow, written by local author, Teri Brown, is a poignant family saga set amid
the struggles between Ukraine and Russia. Not only is it a fascinating tale of
intrigue, religion, politics, and family devotion, but it also gives the reader
a better understanding of those affected by the political turmoil of the
region. Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah, is the mysterious
tale of a young child who appears out of the woods in a remote area of Illinois
and claims to be an alien from another planet. She claims that she has come to
earth to witness five miracles. Her extreme intelligence, along with the
healing effect that she has on the people who get to know her, cause the reader
to wonder until the end of the book if she is indeed an alien or simply a child
who has run away from a terrible home situation.
Our April meeting will be a busy one. We will begin with a discussion of banned books, with each member sharing a book that has been removed from a school or library’s collection as the result of objections from groups or individuals. Following that we will hear from local author, Teri Brown, who will tell us about her new novel, An Enemy Like Me. We will end the meeting with a pot-luck luncheon. All members are encouraged to attend the meeting on Friday, April 21, at 10:00 a.m. in the POA clubhouse. If you have not already done so, please notify Pat McKay to let her know what dish you plan to bring.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
The knitting group will
meet this month on the following Mondays, April 10 and 24, 2023, 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
As another page of the
calendar gets turned for a new year, we again extend an invitation to quilters
to join us on the Second and Fourth Fridays
of the month at 10:00 a.m. at the POA clubhouse. We have on-going charity
projects and our individual projects that we work on. All are welcome. Need
more information: give me a call at 910-297-0066.
Care Team – Flo Pflaster

If you would like to stay on this list and would prefer to get notifications by email instead of through Nextdoor, please email me at dfp324@atmc.net and I will send out a group email when someone needs help in our community.
