A group of friends and I met up last Thursday at the Renaissance Resort to enjoy excellent food, wine, spirits and the very talented Sinatra-esque singer, Wade Tower. Renaissance Hotels around the world participated in the “2012 Global Day of Discovery” on June 7th to encourage people to “Get out and Discover” something wonderful on June 7th, but as Assistant General Manager of the Renaissance of World Golf Village Paul Daum put it, “We got the best entertainment!”
Contest draws 1,268 entries and plenty of water cooler chat!
We knew we’d have some entries when we created the new Name It, Play It contest but when the entries climbed to over 1,000 we were pleasantly surprised. The contest also generated a lot of buzz. We heard neighbors talking about it in the fitness center, it was discussed on the golf course and we even heard chatter about it in Publix. And then there were the emails…let’s just say some people were passionate about their entries. In the end, the entry with the most votes (591 to be exact) was Kingpin which cleverly speaks to Arnold Palmer’s nickname as The King and, of course, the golf pin.
Looking for some inspiration to get in shape, live healthier or just fight like heck to reach your goals in life? Well read on about Glenmoor resident Winston Allen, a 29-year veteran of triathlons and Ironman competitions who still competes at 82 years old. Even a full knee replacement doesn’t keep Winston down – he just completed another triathlon this past April in Marineland, Florida.
How long have you lived in Glenmoor? My wife Carolyn and I have lived in Glenmoor, since November 2010. We are not new to the area since we moved to Glenmoor from The Legends, where we resided since November 2004. Prior to that, we lived in Muirfield Village in Dublin, OH., which is an area very similar to WGV.
For Jerry Shagam, “retired” is a relative term. The Cascades resident “retired” to World Golf Village with his wife, Lynda, about four-and-a-half years ago from their long-time home in Long Island, NY but his calendar remains as busy as ever. Jerry credits the abundance of social and recreational opportunities that The Cascades offers for keeping him active but it’s as much to do with Jerry’s outgoing personality and community-oriented spirit. Jerry Shagam has never slowed down, and if you’re lucky enough to run into him at The Cascades Clubhouse for Tuesday morning coffee, maybe he’ll tell you a joke or his latest fishing story (and maybe even a catching story)!
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer throughout the United States. Over the past 31 years, more people have had skin cancer than any other form of cancers combined. It is said that one in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer during their lifetime.
There is some good news. Skin cancer can be prevented with the proper steps and caution. On Thursday, May 31 at 7:00 pm Dr. Robert Brown of North Florida Dermatology Associates will be presenting a free seminar on Skin Care and Skin Prevention. Hosted by the Davidson Realty as part of their Davidson Speaker Series, Dr. Brown will discuss the importance of sun protection, regular skin check-ups and how to navigate the sea of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) ratings. Dr. Brown will also discuss how important it is for children to be aware of skin cancer at an early age. “Rates of skin cancer in children, teens and young adults are growing at an alarming rate,” Dr. Brown cautioned. Throughout the seminar, Dr. Brown will be answering questions, providing insights, and giving advice for minimizing skin aging and maximizing skin health.
Summer is a family time full of travel and adventure. However, it can also mean at time of too much “vacation eating”. Of course that sounds great in the short run, but in the long run it can lead to summer colds and weight gain. So how can we keep our families feeling tip top this summer?
Well, to start with it is important to recognize that eating healthy keeps us feeling good and helps us to maintain a healthy weight. Healthy eating includes eliminating as much junk food, fast food and processed food as possible since these foods weaken our immune system. Additionally, if we look at the foundation of healthy eating we find fruits and veggies which actually improve our immune function. Unfortunately these are often the hardest to get into our families diets on a consistent basis. If this is your challenge….never fear! Below there are ten tips for getting your family to eat more of these immune boosters every day!
Mulch is a wonderful addition to any landscape. A mulch layer around trees and shrubs provides many benefits.
♦ Helps maintain soil moisture. Mulch slows evaporation and reduces the amount of water that is needed by the plants.
♦ Inhibits weeds. It is almost impossible to keep weeds out of bedding areas without some type of mulch covering.
♦ Helps maintain soil temperature. Mulch keeps the plants’ roots warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
♦ Adds Beauty. Mulch gives planting beds a neat and uniform appearance. Its color and textures compliments the plants and the house.
♦ Reduces soil erosion. Water running off the house or from adjacent areas can create a lot of soil erosion. Mulch will decrease the amount of soil lost.
♦ Improves the soil. Any organic mulch will decompose over time. This will increase the soil’s fertility and improve the soil’s texture and drainage.
♦ Provides protection. Having a layer of mulch around plants and trees will protect them from lawnmowers and string trimmers.
Just as the cardinals are busy preparing their nests in our wooded St. Augustine, Florida community, so too are new World Golf Village residents readying their own cozy nests! The new construction that began to increase at the start of this year, continues on an upward trend in our master planned golf community. New homebuilding construction is happening throughout the World Golf Village neighborhoods with a range of projects underway by national homebuilders and local custom homebuilders.
National homebuilder Standard Pacific Homes has broken ground on 4 homes in the family-oriented GroveWood neighborhood of World Golf Village. The anticipated completion is summer 2012. Standard Pacific Homes purchased 16 lots in GroveWood late last year. The company is offering four floor plans, ranging from about 2,500 to 3,500 square feet. Pricing starts in the high $200,000’s and an extensive list of upgrades comes standard with the new homes.
