Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
What a great Memorial Day weekend! The flags at the clubhouse and pool were at half-mast Monday in honor of all our soldiers who answered America’s call to service and paid the ultimate price. This is the day for Americans to say “Thank you, we remember you and we are grateful to you.” Many residents displayed multiple flags and Gate 6 lined their street with flags. Our pride in America was certainly evident.
Sunday’s event under the pavilion was a huge success with over 300 people attending. Smithfield’s food and service were extraordinary. The music encouraged many to dance and entertained everyone. Three of our attendees gained some extra cash by winning the raffle. The pavilion, with the large open pavement area, provided the perfect setting for a great afternoon. Sue Hensler and the social committee’s planning, organization and execution was flawless. A special thank you to all who made this event the best ever!
The pool opened as scheduled during May, and attendance is already surpassing our expectations. Our pool attendants, with full support of the Board of Directors, have everyone’s safety in mind and are present to enforce rules as required by our insurance company. Without proper insurance coverage, the pool cannot operate. Herein are some clarifications of our pool rules concerning small children. (page 3)
Recently I watched a flock of geese fly over the house, and I was reminded of this article. It is entitled “Learn About Life,” but we can also “Learn About Community” by the same examples. I hope you enjoy reading! Author unknown
Fact No. 1: As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift draft for the bird following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds a greater flying range than if one bird flew alone.
Lesson No. 1: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they're going quicker and more easily because they are traveling on the strength of one another.
Fact No. 2: Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
Lesson No. 2: If we have as much sense as geese, we will stay in formation and be willing to accept help when we need it and give help when it is needed.
Fact No. 3: When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation, and another goose flies in the point position
Lesson No. 3: Geese instinctively share the task of leadership and do not resent the leader.
Fact No. 4: The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Lesson No. 4: We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouragement and not something else.
Fact No. 5: When a goose gets sick, is wounded or is shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to earth to help and protect it. They stay with their disabled companion until it can fly again or dies. They then launch out on their own or with another formation or catch up with the flock.
Lesson No. 5: If we have as much sense as geese, we, too, will stand by one another in difficult times and help the one who has dropped out regain his/her place in the formation.
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." Albert Einstein

Office Renovation News – Kelly Wilson
Renovations on the CSPOA office area are coming to completion. We are happy and looking forward to seeing the office’s new home in operation in the upcoming weeks. As phase one gets completed, we are excited to see phase two begin the deep cleaning and painting inside the clubhouse areas.
We will be closing the clubhouse side of the building completely starting Thursday June 14. All access into the clubhouse will be turned off (this will also include entrance into the library). All items belonging to clubs set out by the front door need to be removed or will be discarded. Clubs having proper bins in the storage area can keep the bins inside that area.
The office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Monday thru Friday, and the office entrance will be reopened. A blast email will be sent out to the membership when the changeover occurs.
Remember, the POA clubhouse doors will be locked down starting Thursday, June 14, after office hours and will be reopened on Friday, June 28, in the morning. Starting the 28th all clubhouse activities can resume as normal. Please note, entrance into the clubhouse through the office area will not be available.
SWIM DIAPERS AND WATER WINGS
CSPOA residents using the swimming pool have asked questions and raised concerns about what swimwear and safety items are allowed for young children to use while swimming at the pool. Though we have rules posted in both pool areas, they are vague on what is preferred by the CSPOA. We hope the following information clarifies any confusion regarding children’s required swimwear and safety items.
Swim diapers or “swimmies” as they are called, used by some residents, are only allowed in the kiddie pool, not the big pool. This type of swim diaper is not recommended to be used in any large public pool. There are only a few companies that do make a swim diaper that have been accepted by large pools in the area, are leak proof and reusable. The name is i play reusable absorbent swimsuit diaper. They are available in various sizes and can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon and iplaybaby.com. We ask that all children, not potty-trained, use the recommended swim diaper and use the kiddie pool for health reasons. We appreciate all families that have children in diapers to please use these approved swim diapers. As always, regular disposable and cloth diapers are not allowed in any pool.
APPROVED WATER WINGS/VEST
Other concerns that have been brought up are water wings worn by children in the pool. We require children to wear the one-piece wing/vest, non-inflatable flotation in the pool. Inflatable water wings are to be used only in the kiddie pool as they are not recognized as a safe personal flotation device (PFD) and are not recommended by the CDC in pools.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
New Guidelines
The CSPOA Board of Directors are discussing guidelines for installing flagpoles in our community. If you are contemplating installing a flagpole on your property, please check with the ACC.
Vacant lots within the community have been inspected, owners notified if cleaning is required and letters sent. The ACC is working with them to bring their property up to standards.
We have had numerous homeowners install new roof shingles on their homes without prior approval from the ACC. Please remember that a permit is required even if you are replacing with the same color. It is the property owner’s responsibility to obtain approval, not the contractor. You might not need a Town permit, but you always need one from the ACC.
Also, please remember that all swales and ditches must be kept clear of any debris so as not to impede the flow of stormwater. They are maintained by the Town and any concerns regarding them need to be addressed to the Town.
As always, when doing any work on the exterior of you home, please obtain prior approval before beginning any work.
Remember, if you are in doubt, it is better to call the office for clarification.
Bowing League – Jim Ratcliff
Greetings from the Carolina Shores
Bowling League. Last year there were sixteen (16) teams and we look forward to
adding more teams this year. We have a lot of new neighbors in the Carolina
Shores area. Come join us.
We normally bowl a 26-week season on Tuesday evenings at Little River Lanes in Little River, SC. We begin practice at 5:30 p.m. weekly and start bowling at 5:45 p.m. Normally, we finish up no later than 8:15 p.m. We have bowlers of all skill levels in our unsanctioned “fun” league. Last year’s cost was $15 weekly; we do not anticipate an increase in cost this year.
We concluded the season in March and followed up with a free banquet where league members had their choice of prime rib, chicken cordon blue or salmon. Also, we awarded over $7,000 in prizes.
We are planning our organizational meeting at Little River Lanes on August 27 at 5:30 p.m. We will elect officers for the new year at our meeting, review our rules and season schedule and organize our teams for the coming season, which is expected to begin on September 10. We also plan to take a week off during Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks, allowing our members to enjoy the holidays. You also can pre or post bowl in the case of any planned vacations. It is really a fun season, spending a night out each week with friends and neighbors. Some of our members follow bowling with a bite to eat at various local restaurants. We look forward to seeing you at Little River Lanes on August 27 at 5:30 p.m. You may contact me via email at Jnavsc@hotmail.com with any questions.
Recreation Committee – Sue O’Reilly
Lazy, ‘dazzy’ days of Summer are here! Come and
cool off at the pool and then join your neighbors under the canopy for our
monthly Happy Hour get-together. We will gather at 5:00 p.m. on Friday June 21.
Bring a nosh or nibble or whatever you like to add to the sharing table and, of
course, your choice of beverage. Hope to see old friends and maybe some new
ones!
New Horizons – Carla Urban
![MCj04398570000[1]](June%202019%20bulletin_files/image008.png){kind=small}
Our annual
picnic held in May was especially nice this year since Mother Nature furnished
us with a perfect afternoon, and the new pavilion was a great setting for it.
With fried chicken being provided, we all brought a dish to share and found some great treats. The desserts were a big hit. This coupled with interesting conversations made it a very pleasant way to spend the afternoon.
The New Horizons Singles Group meets the second Tuesday of the month at the POA clubhouse at 5:00 p.m. and any single is welcome to come and join us. If you would like transportation to and from a meeting, please call me at 575- 2339 and I will see that a ride is provided for you.
The next meeting will be on June 11. Hope to see you all there as this will be our last meeting until September 10.
Garden Club – Carol Filkins
The Garden Club ended its 2018-2019 season with a wonderful luncheon hosted by Janet Guido and Paula Pirrello.
Janet honored past presidents with a rose. This year the Garden Club awarded five (5) scholarships to deserving students from West Brunswick High School. The students were accompanied by their guidance counselor.
New officers for the 2019-2020 season were installed. They are: President, Joanne Bendy; Vice-President, Carol Filkins; Secretary, Diana Mardall; and Treasurer, Marlene Eick.
September 11 is our first meeting for the new season. We look forward to seeing all our current members and invite new members to attend. In the meantime, have a great summer.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
Did you know Carolina Shores has an evening knitting/crocheting/needlework group? We meet every other Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the POA Library. If you knit, crochet or do other needlework, stop by and join us. We’d love to see new faces.
Our meeting in June will be on the 10th at 6.30 p.m. The clubhouse is closed on the 24th.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Our group met on Friday, May 17. This month’s reading
selections were The Tuscan Child by Rhys Bowen and The Storyteller’s
Secret by Sejal Badani. Although The Tuscan Child was set in Italy
and The Storyteller’s Secret was set in India, we found common themes in
that both were historical in nature and both involved a young family member
traveling to a distant location in order to uncover family secrets. The
interesting and enlightening discussion that arose from these two novels
resulted in a very enjoyable meeting for all.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, June 21, at 10:00 a.m.; however, due to the POA library room being closed on that day, we will have a change of location. Currently, we are considering meeting under the new pavilion near the golf club. All members will be notified of the location once we have final confirmation of where the meeting will be held. We will be discussing Port Chicago 50 by Steve Sheinkin and Friends and Enemies by Kate Alexander. All interested Carolina Shores residents are welcome to join us!
Low Impact Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
LOW IMPACT CHAIR
AEROBICS is at 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. This
exercise class is excellent for those that have difficulty with a regular aerobics
class. This class will include weight lifting and core strengthening while
sitting. Leg lifts will be done while holding on to a chair and then will be
followed up with low impact movement without a chair. Weights will be needed. I
suggest starting with one-pound weights. Without investing in weights, bottles
of water, cans and such can be used if they fit comfortably in your hands.
Ankle weights are optional. Come to get in shape and have fun. Contact Mary
Timothy for more information at mtmothy@atmc.net.
Care Team – Beverly Rowse
The Care Team now has twenty-three (23)
people available to help neighbors in need when a request comes to me. 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. When a call for help comes to me, I reach out to the
members on NextDoor. I don't get very many calls for help, but people are so
very grateful for the assistance they get! It really doesn't take much to
volunteer. An occasional ride, help with a small chore at home, 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'll do my best to find someone. You don't have to be on NextDoor to request help. You can call me at 919-271-3005
News Splash! – Kathy Whalen
Water Aerobics will
start on Monday, June 3, weather permitting and continue every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. There is a second water aerobics group that will meet
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Both groups will be from 9:00 a.m. to
10:00 a.m. throughout the summer. Bring your weights, noodles, water, sun
lotion, and a onetime fee of $5.00. Come on down to the pool and join the fun
with friends. It’s time to shape up, by starting your mornings off with
stretching, moving and grooving to the oldies.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
Since we all live in the "Sunny South", June is the month when swimming or sunning is a must. In order to get in shape to take advantage of those activities, playing tennis is a great way to get there. Although we may think we all are ready to put on our "Speedos", we probably aren't. Open tennis is a great way to get there. Open tennis occurs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 8:30 a.m. Everyone showing up will get to play. Hope to see you out there.
Carolina Shores Scramble Group – Elaine Southard
The Carolina Shores Sunday Scramble group plays golf
the second Sunday of each month. On June 9 we are playing at Jones Course – Sea
Trail and our host is Kay Craig. The cost is $35 per person. The tee times are
9:00, 9:08, and 9:16 and show time is 8:30 a.m.
The signup sheet is in the POA clubhouse on the bulletin board, located behind the door to the library.
