FROM THE GENERAL<br />

MANAGER<br />

Here we are in the height of season, and participation<br />

levels, as expected, are at their highest levels. February saw<br />

some wonderful events including my favorite, the Mixed<br />

Member Guest. This is our opportunity to really show the<br />

club off to your guests. This year, the weather could not<br />

have been better, so everything else fell into place perfectly.<br />

A big thank you to all that participated and to Mary Simpson who<br />

helped coordinate the tournament, build participation, and select the<br />

prizes.<br />

Congratulations to the Blutstein’s, who as the big winners, “win” the<br />

opportunity to help us next year.<br />

Financially speaking, through the first quarter of our fiscal year, we are<br />

$90,444 better than budget. Our cash position as of January 31st was<br />

$2,207K (combined operating and capital) vs. $1,900K for the same<br />

period in 2012.<br />

At the February 25 th Board meeting, the following significant actions<br />

took place:<br />

The Board acknowledged the Nominating Committee for selecting<br />

Gretchen Kundahl, Doris Medwin, and Tom Richardson as<br />

candidates for the Board to be seated in <strong>March</strong>.<br />

4 members were approved for (2) membership or (2) rental.<br />

We have some wonderful events planned for <strong>March</strong> which are explained<br />

throughout this newsletter, so make sure you read it cover to cover.<br />

Our Real Estate/Parade of Homes on Sunday February 10th resulted in a<br />

contract to purchase Norm Pelletier’s condo. Our next event is planned<br />

for Sunday <strong>March</strong> 24th. If you’re interested in participating, please<br />

contact Donna or Sue.<br />

Please feel free to contact me on any issue you need help on, or any<br />

suggestion you may have for improvement! I look forward to seeing you<br />

around the community and club!<br />

In addition to this outpouring of holiday spirit, residents at Piper’s <strong>Landing</strong> Yacht & <strong>Country</strong> Member/Member<br />

Congratulations to Morry and Suki Blutstein for<br />

winning the <strong>2013</strong> Mixed Member Guest. The weather was perfect<br />

for the event and the golf was even better.<br />

The ladies’ tee box on #14 will be moved back during regular play<br />

to help the tee box heal. If we have a major event or championship,<br />

then the tee box will be on the forward tee. We apologize for the<br />

inconvenience.<br />

When playing on the course, please leave it in the condition that<br />

you found it. Rake bunkers, fix ball marks and fill divots. This will<br />

ensure the course will be in the best playing condition.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Tip:<br />

When aligning for a golf shot, focus on your shoulders and hips<br />

being in line with the target. This will ensure that you are properly<br />

aligned for your shot.<br />

In general the trees around the golf course are doing well. The<br />

continual rains have been hard on our trees, shrubs and grass. We<br />

have treated the bougainvilleas with fertilizer and fungicides.<br />

attempt to combat the effects of the excessive rain.<br />

The arborist was specifically asked to check the large oak on hole<br />

<strong>March</strong> 20 & 23<br />

well. The tree on hole 9 has a split which has been monitored.<br />

<strong>March</strong> 20 & 27<br />

Unfortunately the split has recently enlarged past the acceptable<br />

threshold. A “bolting” of the split has been performed and the<br />

Championship<br />

tree will continue to be monitored.<br />

her team mates Michele Bragg, Janet Saddler, and Sabrina Schneider the ladies were able to make it<br />

happen. Thank you also to Lynda Richardson, Pam Van and Melanie Scanlon who all helped with the final<br />

details. This was the most successful Cancer Tournament in the history of the PLWGA. I thank every<br />

single woman who participated and I want to thank everyone who donated to this worthy event. I am<br />

BOOK<br />

NOTES<br />

BY SUSAN FARRELL<br />

“A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit,<br />

embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life”. John Milton<br />

Featured Books for January<br />

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver<br />

A charming, beautifully crafted story, rife with similes and metaphors, by the author of the Bean Trees.<br />

Kingsolver addresses climate change, faith, ecology, and other social issues in a colorful section of<br />

Appalachia.<br />

Thomas Jefferson: The Act of Power by Jon Meacham<br />

A biography of our third President, highlighting our<br />

need to understand Jefferson to be able to understand<br />

America. A celebration of Jefferson’s skills as a practical<br />

politician. One of the twenty best page turners during<br />

this past holiday season, according to the Stuart News<br />

Book review.<br />

Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan<br />

A literary novel that’s a scintillating spy story with a<br />

female protagonist written from the male view point by<br />

the award winning author of Atonement. It's worth<br />

reading through the political philosophies of the early<br />

70’s in Great Britain to reach a spectacular conclusion.<br />

WELCOMING<br />

LORI<br />

MOYNIHAN<br />

Next time you are in the office, stop by and give Lori Moynihan a nice warm<br />

welcome. Lori will be taking Pat Pierce's place as Office Manager, while Pat<br />

enjoys retirement.<br />

Lori was born and raised in western New York, so she really appreciates the nice<br />

warm Florida weather.<br />

She's a graduate of St. Bonaventure University. Her life experience has been wide ranging. She<br />

spent 15 years in the U.S. Navy, both active duty and reserve. The Military Sealift Command,<br />

Atlantic in which she served was the first unit recalled to active duty for Desert Storm. Lori left<br />

the military as a Commander.<br />

For 20 years, Lori worked as the Director of Sales & Design for a new home construction<br />

company in Princeton, NJ.<br />

She relocated to Florida last September to be near family and is the mother of 2 adult daughters.<br />

Lori is very excited to be a part of the <strong>Piper's</strong> <strong>Landing</strong> staff and is looking forward to serving the<br />

community.<br />

First, a calendar change:<br />

Dr. Paul Forage from IRSC will give his presentation, “Terrorism and the U. S. National Security”<br />

on Monday, <strong>March</strong> 18 at 10:30 AM. All <strong>Piper's</strong> members, (men and women) are invited to learn<br />

more about this timely and important subject.<br />

Second:<br />

Ari Schwartz’s February 18 presentation on Cyber Security was well received.<br />

And finally, a progress report:<br />

We’ve had 50 to 60 attendees at each of our first two presentations. That’s a good beginning, but<br />

we hope more members and their guests will choose to attend our coming sessions. We need a<br />

strong show of interest to attract high level speakers.<br />

On April 15, Maggie Hurchalla will make the final presentation of our first season. She will be<br />

talking about efforts to restore the Everglades and protect the St. Lucie River, a subject of<br />

importance to everyone living on the Treasure Coast.<br />

We are making plans for our second season, which will begin next fall. On November 11, we will<br />

have a presentation about the ins and outs of the new Health Care Law. In January, when we’ll all<br />

be thinking about filing tax returns for <strong>2013</strong>, we’ll hear about the many changes to the tax laws and<br />

how they will impact each of us. Please let us have your ideas about other subjects you’d like to see<br />

on the schedule.<br />

Please join us!!<br />
