Community Connection A message from Barbara McEvoy, Community Manager

SUMMER SPLASH IS SATURDAY, JULY 28TH! Don’t miss it!

There will be lots of fun and games and giveaways for

everyone!

Thank you to everyone who came out for this month’s events.

The community potluck and monthly bingo were a huge hit!

Bingo will continue the 2nd Tuesday of each month. A

community potluck will be held each quarter.

The new website has launched! This is a a one-stop-shop for

all HOA information as well as a place to view the activities

calendar, sign up for events, etc. Please watch your email for

important notifications.

Watch your email and newsletters for new clubs and activities

that will be added soon!

Please help! The staff will be closing the umbrellas when we

leave for the day. If you use the umbrellas after staff hours,

please close them! The storms that blow in when no one is

here are damaging them; closing them protects them from the

winds.

See you around the clubhouse!

Fitness tips from Dawn Hollister:

Keeping a steady workout pace year-round can be a challenge. Some time spans are busier than others, we (or family members) get sick, work hours change, moods change. Here are just a few ways to set yourself up for success when trying to stay consistent: Put yourself on your own calendar!

Even (maybe especially) if you are working out alone, making it a prior-ity and an actual agenda item can help you follow through.

If you do better with more accounta-bility, find a friend or family member to exercise with. Attend classes, or work briefly or long-term with a trainer or coach.

Determine which time of day you have the most motivation, time and energy and commit to working out in that window.

Have a “rainy day plan” … literally. If you like outdoor workouts, have alternatives ready to go in case the weather doesn't cooperate. If some-thing keeps you from doing your planned workout in the gym, have something else ready to do at home. Even if it’s not what you originally planned, staying on a schedule with follow-through helps going forward.

And remember: you will rarely regret working out; you just might regret not doing it!
