Message from the Board – Joe Watts, President
"December's gifts - custom, ceremony, celebration, consecration - come to us wrapped up, not in tissue and ribbons, but as cherished memories. This is the month of miracles! The oil that burns for eight days, the royal son in a stable, the inexplicable return of Light on the longest darkest night of the year. Where there is Love, there are always miracles. And where there are miracles, there is great joy!"
Merry Christmas!
Excerpt from Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach.

ACC Corner – Joe Rochel, ACC Chairperson
I am pleased to say the ACC has closed two new homes that were in construction.
I would like to remind all homeowners in Carolina Shores that when you receive a letter of violation, this letter is a first, “Courtesy” letter. The reason we do this is to let the homeowner know that a possible violation has been reported and it may need attention. This first letter says in the next to the last paragraph “The CSPOA requests that you contact this office by phone at 910-579-2044 or email at acccspoa@gmail.com within seven (7) days of the date of this letter of the corrective action you have taken or will be taking.” I ENCOURAGE every homeowner that receives this first letter to not get upset; please just contact the office to let us now you are aware of the issue and will be working on the problem. If this first letter is not clear to you, I ask you to please just contact us. I will return your phone call or your e-mail to help answer your questions. I am available to meet you at your home to help clear up the confusion.
I want everyone to understand I am here to help you resolve the issue. Therefore, I am reaching out to everyone and asking you to contact us within the 7-day response. When you do not contact the office, that automatically starts the process to send out the 2nd letter and the board letter. I do not want this to happen to any homeowner. I hope this helps clear up any confusion about the 2nd letter and the board letter.
I WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON.
JOE’S SAYING: “HELP ME HELP YOU”.

Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Seventeen enthusiastic readers attended our meeting on Friday, November 18. Our reading selection for the month was The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan, a novel set in Britain during World War II. Not your typical war story, this book is about four women from different backgrounds who compete in a cooking contest in which the winner will become the host of a BBC cooking program called The Kitchen Front. Our discussion centered around two themes that were prominent in the book: the friendship, love, and kindness that developed between these women who were originally rivals and the hardships that they endured to keep their families and communities fed during this time of food shortage and rationing.
Our next meeting will be held on Friday, December 16, at 10:00 a.m. in the main room of the POA clubhouse. We will be discussing Book Lovers by Emily Henry. All interested Carolina Shores residents are invited to attend.
