The season is in full swing and it’s time for some fun! We hope you are enjoying all that winter in SW Florida offers.
Highlights
• The second phase of the Lakes Project continues. Please respect all the staging areas and steer clear of active work zones. Getting the work done in the middle of the busy season is not ideal but it also happens to be the dry season which is important when you’re digging around in the lakes. We appreciate your patience.
• There are many social events scheduled for February and March which means the Clubhouse will be very busy. Please remember to make reservations for all meals and events early to avoid disappointment. The parking lot fills up quickly so anytime you can carpool or walk please do so.
• The Harry Chapin Invitational will hold the 16th Annual 9-Hole Tournament on Tuesday, February 10. The Cross Creek Women’s 9-Hole League, along with dozens of volunteers, hosts this wonderful event. Last year, over $12,000 was raised to help fight hunger in our region—let’s set another record this year!
• Thanks to all who participated in the Town Hall Meeting regarding the Clubhouse renovation. This is being written before it takes place, but we know the turnout will be strong! The Master Board is compiling a summary along with next steps so look for more information coming your way soon.
• Whenever you are walking or biking around Cross Creek in the dark, please try to wear light-colored or reflective clothing. There is traffic throughout our community at all times of the day and night and folks wearing dark clothing are very hard to see. And drivers, please observe all stop signs and speed limits.
• A reminder that we share our land with many wild creatures. Please do not harass, chase or torment alligators, birds, turtles, snakes or any other critters. Take pictures from a safe distance and if you see an animal acting aggressively or injured, contact the office at (239) 768-1166 so the Master Board can take appropriate action.
• The Cross Creek Annual Meeting will be taking place in March. Now is the time for you to consider running for the Master Board. If you have questions about the process or the duties and responsibilities email [email protected] and someone will reach out to answer your questions.
Mary Peabody, Director on behalf of the Master Board
