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 />

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 />

White Hats Championship<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 />
