Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
Please be advised that our Annual Budget Meeting in November will not take place this year. The Governor has extended the current phase for three (3) additional weeks. We are still limited to only 25 people in our clubhouse. The budget for 2021 is enclosed and was presented in our October meeting. It can be discussed in our November and December meetings and will be voted on in the December meeting. Ample opportunity exists for our members to review and speak on the proposed budget. There is no increase in dues for 2021. Our November Board meeting will be November 11 at the pavilion.
The Carolinas Bay project is still underway. The latest update is that the nine (9) original concepts have been reduced to five (5), which consists of concepts 1,2,4,7, and 8. In addition, two (2) new options were added, 1A and 4A, which are modifications from the original 1 and 4 concepts. Crow Creek and Ocean Ridge are supporting concepts 1A and 4A, which follows a new route west of Hwy. 17 and ends on Hwy. 130 in Shallotte. These concepts 1A and 4A are the most advantageous to our neighborhood too, as traffic on Hwy. 17 around Carolina Shores would be reduced and neighborhoods along Hwy. 17 would remain intact. Concept 8 is the one that is devastating to Northwest Dr. You can google Carolinas Bays Parkway Extension –NCDOT and click on NCDOT online engagement platform to review the maps, post your comments and preferences. Please do so quickly. Thank You!
THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN EDITORS LINDA RUGG and MERRILEE BURNS
IMPORTANT DATES:
November 11, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. – MONTHLY BOARD MEETING AT THE PAVILION
ALL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
IF YOU ARE NOT ON OUR FREE COMMUNITY EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST, PLEASE CONTACT THE BUSINESS OFFICE. YOU MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE EMAIL ADDRESS PER HOUSEHOLD.
Please remember to notify the office if you change your phone number, email address, name, or mailing address. It is extremely easy to overlook this, but difficult for the office should we need to contact you. Thank you.
Recreation Facilities – Kelly Wilson
Pavilion
The pavilion is becoming the activity spot within our community. We welcome our members as they use and enjoy this amenity. We have had many groups wanting to use and reserve the pavilion for various functions this past month.
It has been decided that while the clubhouse is still closed, we will be using the monthly calendar showing groups and clubs using the pavilion with dates and times. It will also show names of members that have reserved the pavilion. We ask as always that all rules be followed when using the pavilion. All rules are available on the website along with reservation forms.
With the cooler temperatures arriving, the use of the fire pit is available to members at the pavilion. A reservation form will be needed to be filled out as it also does for use of the gas grills.
The POA is requiring any group or club at the pavilion having functions of more than 25/30 persons have a sign-in sheet and be kept for possible tracing information if needed. We also ask that groups be no more than the 50-person max and social distancing be kept along with mask wearing.
Pool
The pool season will officially be over October 31. Furniture will be stowed for the winter and preparations will shortly begin for next year’s opening. We hope most were able to enjoy the pool under these trying and unprecedented times and hope we will be back to normal next season where family and friends can also enjoy the summer with us.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms over at the recreation area will remain open and cleaned daily in the mornings. These will remain open for tennis/pickle ball, boccie ball and pavilion users. Card keys and fobs will be required for access to the bathrooms. We will keep these open until further notice.
NOVEMBER IS BUDGET MONTH – Kerry Jarrell, Treasurer
This year’s budget process began in September with the various CSPOA committees, board members and staff submitting funding requests for 2021 to the Finance and Audit Committee. The Committee assimilated those requests and submitted the first draft of the budget for 2021 to the Board of Directors at the October board meeting.
Under normal circumstances, a community members’ meeting would be held at the clubhouse in early November to go over the proposed budget. Unfortunately, that meeting will not be possible this year; however, the proposed 2021 budget is included in the November CSPOA Bulletin.
The budget contains two components, an operating budget, which funds the routine expenses for the clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, office, etc., and a reserve budget, which funds the annual contribution to the facility repair/replacement reserve. It goes without saying that 2020 has not been a typical year. With the clubhouse closed for much of the year and social/recreational activities greatly curtailed, expenses for those budget categories were less than expected; however, expenses in the remaining budget categories were fairly typical. The budget for 2021 was built on the expectation that next year will be a return to normal operations.
Under this proposed budget for 2021, member dues would remain unchanged. Members are encouraged to review the budget and refer any questions or concerns to the office.
ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
This month remember to remove your political sign by 11/11/2020 as required by state and federal guidelines. The ACC will do a drive by the week of 11/11 and ensure that all signs/flags/banners are removed.
Again, it is time to restate that ALL trees require prior approval from the ACC before being cut. Any trimming of branches or emergency storm damage that immediately will impact your home or other structures do not need a permit. An emergency is defined as “an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action”. Please comply because these trees help protect us and our neighbors during hurricanes or flooding.
A permit and ACC approval are also necessary for ANY alteration/addition made to your home. Repairs or SPOT touch up painting of the same color is exempt. If you are unsure if approval is needed, please call the ACC office at 579-2044 and check.
Stay safe, wear a mask, wash hands frequently, and keep your distance.

Garden Club – Mary Conover
We had an exciting meeting on Wednesday, October 14, with Matthew Bookout from the Ocean Isle Museum as our guest speaker, and his "Snakes Alive" program.

Book Discussion Group – Pat McKay
The monthly meeting of the Carolina Shores Book Discussion Group was held with 'social distancing' at our community pavilion on Friday, October 16, 2020, at 10:00 a.m.
Our alternative format for this meeting had each of us reading either a different classic or a book we always wanted to read. Each of the thirteen members present explained why they chose their particular book, gave some information about the author, and a brief synopsis of their choice. There were a wide variety of authors chosen with only two members choosing both the same author and book! Some members reread a book they had read as a young person and how their life experiences gave them a whole different perspective while reading it the second time around! After all presentations were made, the general consensus was that we all really liked and were enriched by this new format. After thanking member Barbara Hutton who suggested it, we voted to devote one month next year to repeating it!
On the third Friday, November 20, we will be discussing "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng. Please feel free to join us! We will be meeting at the pavilion again unless notified of a different location.
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. 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'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
