Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the Master Board meeting held on Friday, February 7. From time to time, the Master Board must meet outside the regular monthly meetings to conduct business on behalf of VCC.
In the February issue of The Villager, the VCC Strategic Plan for 2025 appeared in the Master Board article. In future articles and What’s Going On emails, updates of projects, in accordance with the Strategic Plan, will be referenced. This month we are happy to share the following:
The patio is open! Please stop by from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, to enjoy a cold beverage. If you’re hungry, you can enjoy a snack.
Choose from an appetizer, sandwich, flatbread, or salad. Would you like to reserve the patio for a gathering? Please contact the Food & Beverage Manager, Rafael Bonilla, to find out more about this opportunity.
What’s going on at the pools? The vendor has been hired for the main pool project which will include improvements to the decking, spa, shower, and more. Permitting is underway with the Village of Estero—once signed the project will begin. We hope to see that occur in the next few weeks. Many of our neighbors have requested pool furniture at the four other pools. Satellite furniture has been distributed. Special thanks to the group of volunteers who re-webbed loungers for these pools.
Clubhouse news: The new railings have been installed on the front access ramp. This project did take a bit longer than initially thought. Thank you for your patience. We apologize for the inconvenience. Additional lighting will be installed in front and behind the Clubhouse. Lighting will be added to walkways and uplighting of some of the trees will improve visibility.
Estero River: VCC is unique in that it has a river flowing through its grounds. M.R.I. Inc., a river engineering company, is reviewing the impact of the Estero River on VCC. They are working with the Common Grounds Committee to address erosion and other property concerns.
Spread the word: We all understand that our community works best when all are informed. Please help one another to remember a few of our basic rules that make accessibility more enjoyable for everyone. Disabled license plates or placards are needed when parking in these designated spaces. For those of us who enjoy riding our bikes to activities, please park at the designated bike racks and not on walkways, outside the gates of pools, the practice nets, or tennis courts. Please do not ride your bikes on the golf course access bridge.
Please continue to stay informed by attending meetings, reading The Villager and emails, and accessing information on the Hotwire VCC community channel on your televisions, and the VCC website.
