P.O.A President 

Barry L. Cook 

R 

ick McCarroll did a great job as 

the POA President for the past 

two years and I will attempt to follow 

in his footsteps. Also, I am fortunate 

to have Peter Henrico and Mason Delafield joining 

Mike Starshak, Kathy Vodak, Jack Brennan and 

Spencer Everett on the Executive Committee. 

The Community Service Center is complete and 

fully operational. I hope many of you attended the 

Open House held last month and are proud of the 

finest facility of its type in South Florida. 

Soon, many of us will be headed to our summer 

locations. Remember the POA offers seasonal 

inspection service while you are away. Inspections 

are held weekly and we have the ability, working 

with the Maintenance Department, to handle any 

problems that may arise. This is good, reasonably 

priced insurance against the Florida heat and 

humidity. 

Comcast continues to be the source of numerous 

complaints. We met with their regional executives to 

discuss many of our issues and will be expecting an 

improved level of service. Comcast agreed to place 

two technical support personnel at Quail Ridge, 

weekly, to identify areas which need improvement. 

This will include testing central nodes, locating and 

replacing lines with weak signals and handling 

customer service problems. Please refer to the “facts 

blast” as well as information posted on Channel 63 

regarding this issue. 

The whitefly continues to be a problem with the 

ficus hedges. At our villa, my wife, “The One Who 

Must Be Obeyed,” decided to get rid of our hedges 

and replace them with more updated landscaping. 

Victor’s crew came in the next week and planted 

Robellini and Cat Palms for a reasonable price. I 

like the new look and we don’t have spray techs and 

hedge trimmers around our now peaceful patio. Try 

a new look, I think you’ll like it. 

Please let us know of your suggestions for ways to 

improve Quail Ridge. 

Thanks, 

Barry 

Club President 

Kent Blair 

s your new president, I’m proud 

A and honored to have the 

opportunity to serve you over the 

next year. This is Prudy’s and my 

13th season at Quail, and we have seen many 

changes during that time – the renovation of the 

Clubhouse, the construction of the Fitness and 

Business Centers and, most recently, the completion 

of the Community Services Center. 

These projects have allowed Quail to stay 

competitive during a very difficult time for privately 

-owned golf and country clubs. My guess is that the 

next few years will see more changes. The Board is 

in the final stages of developing a new long-range 

strategic plan based upon the responses from the 

recent member survey. 

The entire range of amenities offered by our Club 

will be reviewed and plans developed to satisfy our 

members’ needs. A master planning firm will be 

chosen shortly to facilitate this process. The Board 

will keep you informed of our findings as they 

emerge. 

Thank you, 

Kent 

Before leaving Quail Ridge … 

● During the summer months, when you are 

not at Quail Ridge, you can place your 

service on “Seasonal Hold” by contacting 

COMCAST at 1-800-266-2278. 

● DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR COMCAST 

BOXES OR MODEMS WHEN YOU ARE 

NOT HERE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. 

During the summer months, Comcast will 

download updates to your boxes, if they are 

disconnected it will cause a problem when 

you reconnect your boxes.

General Manager’s Report 

by Donald “Chip” Misch, CCM 

General Manager/COO 

I 

trust you have all received and 

viewed the first issue of “Q 

Magazine.” We are particularly 

pleased with the look and believe it truly captures all 

of what makes Quail Ridge so special – our members 

and a vibrant and active club culture. This source will 

play an active role in our marketing efforts, so please 

feel free to stop by realty and ask us to send it to your 

friends. The next issue is slated for fall 2013. 

NOW is certainly a great time to buy in Quail Ridge, 

with plenty to offer, as well as, a nice incentive to 

entice prospective buyers to buy. We are seeing 

unprecedented numbers to begin the first quarter of 

2013 and we fully intend to use the momentum for the 

spring months. 

The Community Services project continues to progress 

and the staff is settling in. I trust you had a chance to 

visit the facility at the end of March, but if you missed 

the event, I encourage you to stop down for a brief 

tour of the facility. As reported, the project is 

progressing within schedule and we expect the final 

details to be wrapped up around mid-April. Again, 

thank you for your patience during the construction 

process – especially the residents at Osprey! 

There is a host of activities already in the queue for 

the summer ahead. We intend to use our first 

summer in quite a while without any major projects, 

to improve at all levels operationally focused on 

seamless and efficient service delivery and 

identifying cost savings for the respective budgets 

planning process. As in years past – our focus will 

center around “expect to get better” at all levels! 

Activity wise, the summer appears to be shaping up 

nicely – we are seeing considerable interest in our 

summer golf program and David Crandell and 

Charlie Bowie are lining up another exciting 

reciprocal program for all members to enjoy 

beginning May 1 – more details will be forthcoming. 

Congratulations to Kevin Hammer on winning his 

second major event of the winter season as our “Club 

Champion!” Congratulations, also, goes out to M.C. 

Cloutier for winning our Ladies’ Club Championship 

and Sally Jenkins for the 9 Hole Ladies’ Club 

Championship. 

Enjoy your club in April – there is a lot on the 

calendar for everyone to enjoy!

BOARD DECISIONS 

In an effort to keep the Community informed of the actions of the POA and Condominium Association 

Boards, following are the motions/resolutions from the February 5, 2013 Board meetings. 

Property Owners Association (POA): 

A MOTION was made by Mr. Brennan and Seconded by Mr. O’Connor that the Quail Ridge Property 

Owners Association approve a Sanderling Area material change for a landscape wall per the following 

specifications and details. The ruling would apply to Sanderling only, due to the distinct architectural 

style of that area. 

1. Dimensions cannot exceed more than 59” from the carport/garage side of the unit and 73” from the end 

of the home (bedroom/living area) and cannot be more than 48” high. 

2. Painted to match local color scheme 

3. Declaration of Approval of Alterations and Improvements to be recorded with Palm Beach County 

4. Built to Palm Beach County Code. 

After thorough discussion on this motion, Mr. Bonanata made a MOTION, Seconded by Mr. Agnello to 

amend the proposal, to include the requirement that the Sanderling Board resubmit this proposal with 

their endorsement. Amended proposal ADOPTED unanimously. 

A MOTION was made by Mr. Figurelli and Seconded by Mr. Bourne that for owners with rental cars: 

● A bar code will be issued for 30 days maximum. After 30 days, it will expire and need to be renewed. 

● Prior to rental car being returned to the rental company, the member is required to stop at the South 

Gate and request Security to remove the bar code. The Security Officer will verify the member’s 

information and fill out a temporary bar code removal form. 

● If the member fails to have this temporary bar code removed, the member will then be placed back on 

the 7 day maximum renewable paper pass program for all future visits. 

Motion ADOPTED unanimously. 

Condominium Association: 

A MOTION was made by Mr. Bonanata and Seconded by Mr. Agnello that the Condominium Association 

Board approve the six new members from the January 24, 2013 posting. Motion ADOPTED 

unanimously. 

Shopping For A Cause 

The Habitat ReStores, located in Delray Beach, provide our 

affiliate with much needed funding to ensure that we are 

successful in our mission to provide safe, decent and affordable 

housing to families in need. These stores receive usable, donated 

items such as building materials, furniture and household goods 

from individuals and businesses. The items are then re-sold at 

significantly discounted prices to the buying public. Not only are 

the donated items tax deductible, but the resale of these items 

keeps more waste out of local landfills. For your convenience, the ReStore offers home or 

business pickup service by calling Habitat at 561-455-4441. Thank you for your consideration.

Community Association Manager by Mary Lou Metzger, CMCA, LSM, PCAM 

BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE SEASON … 

I 

t is time to start thinking about what plans need to be made before leaving Quail 

Ridge. It is important to have someone check your unit regularly to make sure that 

there are no leaks, the air conditioning is working and to make sure that your unit is secured. You 

can contact Housekeeping at extension 3352 to make arrangements for this service. If you have 

someone watching your unit, please notify security. 

If you do not have a service, here is a checklist of items to take care of: 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

√ 

Make sure all electrical appliances are disconnected. 

Unplug TV’s, and computers. Keep Comcast boxes connected and plugged in, so that 

any program updates during the summer months, can be downloaded to the boxes. 

Turn off the main water valves, and the valves to your water heater and under your sink and 

toilet. 

Make sure your bike is stored and tagged in your bike barn. 

Contact the Post Office to have your mail forwarded. 

Contact the Accounting Office to have your Quail Ridge mail forwarded to your northern 

address. 

Discontinue your newspaper. 

Have your phone forwarded. 

Do not disconnect your phones if you have an alarm system. 

Lock all windows and doors. 

Notify security of your departure and make sure they have a northern phone number or 

contact person. 

Verify with security that they have a key to your unit, in case of an emergency. 

Make sure all outdoor furniture, plants, planters and items are brought inside. No items are 

to be left outdoors. They become projectile objects in a hurricane. 

Contact General Maintenance at extension 3380 to be placed on the Hurricane Shutter 

Closure List. 

Do not leave valuables in your residence when you are gone. 

For those residents that remain in Quail Ridge, we will look forward to having a lovely summer, but 

we will miss the “snowbirds”… so hurry back to paradise. 

Email address: mlmetzger@quailridgecc.com 

REMINDERS 

Hurricane Season is coming upon us, before leaving, please store all furniture, 

umbrellas, planters etc. inside your unit. They become projectile objects in 

a hurricane.

Security Information Director of Security, Eric Price 


I 

would like to start out by saying; it has been another great season here at Quail Ridge. 

To our members heading north for the summer, please review the following information: 

● There will be many auto transports and moving vans arriving in the weeks to come. Please 

remember to instruct the drivers that they must enter the community via the North Gate on 

Boynton Beach Blvd. Inform either gatehouse of their arrival dates. It is also imperative that 

when hiring a moving van to pickup furniture or boxes, please consider the area in 

which you reside. Some of the larger trucks and trailers are unable to drive into the 

subdivisions without causing considerable property damage. 

● While we generally enforce the community’s rule that limits commercial traffic between the hours 

8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, we will, with Advanced Notice, waive that 

restriction due to the unpredictable schedules of these out-of-state vendors. 

● Members that maintain alarm systems in their homes should NOT have their telephone lines 

disconnected. If you disconnect your telephones and an emergency at your home arises, the Security 

Department as well as the Central Dispatch Center would fail to receive the alarm signal, since all 

alarms are transmitted over the telephone lines. 

● I would like to remind everyone to be especially thorough this summer when hiring vendors, 

contractors, domestic help, etc. Be sure that they are properly licensed, insured, and bonded. 

Legitimate companies will have no problem providing such information, and anyone who seems 

reluctant or cannot provide documentation should be considered suspect. Once a contractor begins 

work, we recommend that access to your homes be controlled as strictly as possible. Do not give 

keys to anyone. When the vendor is placed on your guest list, simply let us know that they will 

require a key, and then tell the vendor to sign out the key each day at the South Gatehouse. This 

will allow us to track their activities. 

● Use of Residence - In your absence, please plan ahead when having guests that will be staying at 

your residence. A Use of Residence form must be completed and forwarded by fax to (561) 364- 

0238 well in advance of your guest’s arrival. Use of residence forms, are limited to four applications 

with club privileges annually. Each application is limited to two weeks. This keeps Security well 

informed of who is coming and going, so that they can keep a watchful eye on the community. 

● Notify the Security Department of your approximate departure and return dates by contacting Liz 

Greene at 737-5100, ext. 3373. The more information you provide, the better we can respond to any 

situation that may involve your home. 

We would just like to remind everyone that in an effort to keep our roads safe, we continue to monitor our 

roads with the unmanned video assistance of the Traffic Hawk. 

Please remember that we have an obligation to keep our members and guests safe. We must provide safe 

roadways to all that travel within our Community. 

Enjoy the summer and above all, please stay safe!

Realty Update 

by Ann Jara, Real Estate Director 

T 

he number one question I am 

asked currently? “So, is anything 

selling?” 

The answer: A resounding, YES, absolutely! 

Quail Ridge has had 32 sales since January 1, 

(2 custom homes, 9 villas, 8 Garden 3 bedroom, 7 

Garden 2 bedroom, 4 Terrace 2 bedroom and 2 

townhomes). This is more than DOUBLE the sales as 

the same time period last year when we had 14 sales. 

The membership incentive program has generated a 

lot of interest from buyers and we expect that to 

continue along with the great property values 

available. 

Big Savings Available on Initiation Fees for a 

Very Limited Time! The first and second levels 

of savings are sold out, and several on the last 

level are sold, so the time is now for prospective 

members to act and lock in the best savings. 

Buyers can save $10,000 on a golf membership 

or $5,000 on a social membership. 

April is the time when so many of you head “up 

north,” so I wish you well in your summer travels. 

Think of us often, and please tell your Northern 

friends and neighbors what a fabulous, WARM winter 

you just had. Would you consider hosting a cocktail 

party (at our expense) for prospective members at 

your northern club? The club’s and community’s 

future success is dependent on having a vibrant, 

dynamic membership, so adding new members 

continues to be an imperative initiative. These 

market visits are a fun, social and very effective way 

for us to introduce Quail Ridge to your northern 

friends and club members. Please call me or any real 

estate committee member for details. 

Real Estate Committee 

"Jumpin Gee Willikers"! T'is April and all the 

"snowbirds" are exercising their wings as they 

prepare for the flight home! Between preparation of 

Tax Returns (UGH) there is time to get in a few more 

rounds of golf and games of tennis on our great 

playing fields. 

If you have not already done so, now is a very good 

time to contact Ann Jara, or anyone on her team, and 

get some materials to show your good friends back 

home what a great place Quail Ridge Country Club is. 

Convince them that they should try a "Stay and Play" 

package to get to know our little piece of heaven. 

I would expect by now you have received your "coffee 

table" edition of "Q" magazine which was mailed 

directly to you last month. I have received great 

reviews and comments about the publication, and I 

hope you all are enjoying it. If you have any 

particular comments or ideas for future issues, please 

email Ann Jara at the Quail Ridge Real Estate office, 

AJara@quailridgecc.com. 

Any of you looking for additional accommodations to 

house family or friends, should take a look at 

purchasing a rental property at Kittiwake … some 

super deals can be arranged! We, also, have a great 

variety of properties to suit everyone's tastes … 

Check out the website for available properties or, 

again, contact our Real Estate office for a complete 

listing. 

I guess all good things must come to an end but am 

going to see one of my last great polo matches of the 

season … you have to love those magnificent horses! I 

wonder if I could convince our new Board to let us 

keep a couple of horses on site! Hey, free fertilizer, eh! 

Bill McEwen 

The Real Estate Committee 

As always, we invite you to call us at any time to 

discuss our services. We are here to assist you in 

making a smooth transition, whether moving in … 

out … or just across the street in Quail Ridge.

Club Manager’s Report 

by David Crandell 

F 

irst of all,, I would like to 

thank you for a great winter 

season. You have been supportive, 

engaged and positive through our busiest months 

and for that we are grateful. 

I would, also, like to take the opportunity to thank 

my team of managers who continue to work hard to 

provide the membership with a Club they can be 

proud of. Chef, Adam, Big Dave and Kara as well as 

Lyn Robinson and Sally Maple at the front desk, 

have done everything in their power to try to exceed 

your expectations at every turn. We hope you 

enjoyed it. 

A big “thank you” goes to Catherine McLoud for her 

commitment to Quail Ridge as House Committee 

Chairperson this past season. Mrs. McLoud has 

been wonderful to work with, employing her many 

years of professional hotel management experience 

to assist taking our operation to the next level. 

Please, take the time to thank her. 

Championship Golf ... 

Championship Neighbors 


We are committed to constant improvement at all 

levels and believe me, we have many opportunities 

to get better. I see them every day. We will take the 

summer to carefully plan the 2013-2014 season, 

seeking to give you a better experience than the 

previous year. I would like to ask your help in 

suggesting new ideas and concepts that you have 

seen at your northern clubs, or any place that you 

have ventured in your travels that you would like 

to see here at Quail. Again, people are our best 

resource, as it is the people that make Quail Ridge 

such a special place. 

Please travel safely when leaving for the summer.

Caridad Center Needs 

As you are preparing to leave Quail Ridge for the 

summer, you might find that you have some 

canvas bags that you are not using. These can be 

donated to the Caridad Center. Also, if you see 

any children’s sweatshirts on sale at this time of 

year, you might consider purchasing a few for 

the children at the Center. 

There will be a box in the Ladies’ Locker Room 

for collecting these items. 

Thank you, 

Roe Bartow, 18 Hole Ladies’ Association

Audubon News 

by John Bloom, Chairman 

On behalf of the Audubon Committee, I would like 

to thank the Garden Club for their most generous 

gift to fund the Butterfly Garden which was 

recently planted behind the Pergola. 

These plants and flowers are ideally suited to 

attract various species of native butterflies to this 

area. 

Michelene Lauzon (L) and Diane Gibson (R) with 

their prizes won in the Waxwing Challenge 

We also plan to install a bird feeder and a bird bath 

to this area. This will add a second dimension to 

attract both butterflies and song birds to this newly 

established habitat. for the enjoyment of Quail 

Ridge members. 

I would like to extent my appreciation to Fred 

Briese, Chairman of the Landscape Committee, 

for his assistance in establishing this habitat. 

The Pergola is located on Quail Ridge Drive, 

opposite the entrance to Kittiwake. 

In the end, our society will be defined not 

only by what we created, but what we 

refused to destroy.

Audubon Committee Bird of the Month 

American Kestrel 

I recently saw an American Kestrel perched atop the Purple Martin house at the 

tee on #10 North. 

The Martins were not in danger as this small falcon (9-12 inches) feeds primarily 

on rodents and insects. 

The bird is common to the entire US, Canada and Central America. 

Please be aware that a large framed photograph, of the "Bird of the Month" is on view in the hallway of the 

Clubhouse. Also, this month, "Covey of Quail" was hung opposite the featured bird.

nd the beat goes on... 

A Whether it’s dancing your socks off 

or strengthening your heart, this season 

the Fitness Center has been all about keeping the 

beat. In March we hosted our first Dinner Dance. It 

was so much fun seeing all of our dancers’ hard work 

pay off. Our Zumba girls, line, tap and ballroom 

dancers showed us a taste of what they enjoyed 

learning this season. Who knew we had so much 

talent at Quail Ridge? After the short presentation 

the rest of us tried to shake our groove thing with the 

dancers … a good time was had by all! If you missed 

the fun, do not worry, we plan to make this an annual 

event. 

Its not too late, come and try one of our many dance 

classes. Our hours of operation and class schedule 

will continue normally through the month of April. 

Keeping your heart healthy is always our goal, 

Thursday, April 11, we are offering a two hour CPR 

class. Although this class is not a full certification, it 

will give you the needed information and confidence 

to react in an emergency situation. We will spend two 

hours reviewing and practicing basic CPR and 

Heimlich maneuver skills for adults and children.

ow that we have "Sprung Forward" with 

Daylight Savings Time, we look to begin the 

busy time in our Inspection program. You should 

have received your updated 2013 Inspection 

Contract. If you have not, we will gladly personally 

deliver one to your home. 

If you need any assistance with our home inspection 

program in filing out any paperwork or would like 

to have anything clarified, one of our inspection 

team members will gladly speak with you at your 

home here at Quail Ridge. Our Home Inspection 

program is a great way to have very positive 

feedback on your home while you are away. Our 

inspection team seals off all drains, toilets and any 

additional plumbing. Your home is checked weekly 

to ensure that it is still secure from weather, insects 

or any mechanical issues that may arise. 

Our housekeepers are prepared to assist in closing 

your homes after your final departure. The 

housekeepers will do general cleaning, as well as 

check the little things that may be missed. They 

will check the washer/dryer to ensure they are 

empty and dry, discard perishable items from the 

refrigerator, turn off the ice maker and confirm 

your home is secure by checking locks on windows. 

After they finish, they will close all blinds. They 

will, also, bring into your home or garage area any 

patio furniture that has been left outside. Upon 

their departure, they will turn off your main water 

supply and secure your home. 

A gentle reminder that you must reapply for the 

emergency shutter closing/opening list yearly. 

If you have not already coordinated this with the 

General Maintenance team, please contact them at 

extension 3380. 

Our best wishes and safe travels to all of our Quail 

Ridge Family.

Golf Update 

Straight Down the Middle 

by Charlie Bowie, Director of Golf 

ow! What a busy March. Hard to 

W believe the Club Championships 

and Easter, both are now behind us. March was a 

blur … a lot of action, right here at Quail Ridge. I 

hope you had a chance to be a part of some of the 

activities and events. 

We are now looking forward to our Men’s and Ladies’ 

Golf Association closing day events, in the first week 

of April. Yes, hard to believe, but I did say closing 

day. Also, taking place in the same week will be the 

Ladies’ Palm Beach Challenge Cup followed by 

Canada Day, on April 5. 

On April 16-18, Quail Ridge will play host to the 

Florida State Golf Association Senior Amateur 

Championship, one of the most prestigious amateur 

golf events hosted by the State of Florida. The 

practice round is scheduled for Monday and the 

Championship will take place Tuesday, Wednesday 

and Thursday on the North Course. Only the South 

Course will be available for member play, so make 

your plans accordingly. We encourage you to come out 

and watch the event. 

I would like to thank those members of the Golf 

Committee, who are completing their committee 

duties at the completion of the season. Thanks to 

Patty Chick, Robin Skogman, Catherine McLoud, 

David Azoulay, Tony Orlando and Doug Goldsmith. 

All of you have provided exceptional leadership and 

have played such an important role in helping with 

the direction of the golf program at Quail Ridge. 

We have had a very busy season with both 

tournament and individual golf rounds up this year. 

We continue to need your help and cooperation, once 

on the course, to make sure your play is in keeping 

with the spirit of golf. Play “Ready Golf,” keeping up 

with the group ahead of you. Keep in mind, we are set 

up to play a round of golf in about four hours. Please, 

with our rounds of golf up, keep in mind those behind 

you. 

Well, that’s about all for now. Remember to: 

Email address: Charlie@quailridgecc.com 

18 Hole Ladies’ Golf Association News 

by Alice Mateos 

Congratulations to the winners of the Club Championship, especially overall winner, M.C. Cloutier and to 

all those who came out to play. Congratulations, also, to the top ten shootout participants. Great Job Ladies! 

What a great season we’ve had celebrating community, camaraderie, competition and contribution. We’ve 

enjoyed two Member/Guests, a great Member/Member tournament, an exciting Presidents Cup, the first 

Canada/USA Challenge and an outstanding turnout for Rally For The Cure. 

Thanks to all those who made these events so memorable, especially golf professional extraordinaire, Pam 

Brosnihan. Accolades to outgoing president, Catherine McLoud, whose dedication, efficiency, talent and 

humor guided us this year. Thanks, to first vice-president, Marie-Josee St.Jacques; second vice-president, 

Patty Sue Grove; secretary, Melinda Breslin; awards chair, Mary Sullivan; and to those whose terms 

end this year, treasurer, Judy Carlson and social chair, Jacelyn Pritchard. I want to add my thanks, as 

publicity chair, for having the opportunity to work with such a fine group of talented women these past two 

years. 

Don’t miss our Closing Luncheon on April 2, the final event of the season. 

Be sure and check out pictures of all our events and tournament winners on the photo viewer, in the ladies’ 

locker room.

their assistance in promoting our 

monthly tennis events and being 

enthusiastic ambassadors for the 

tennis program and facilities. The 

Committee included Chairman Gerry 

Leider, and members Denise Porter, 

Leo Crowley, Eileen Watson, Richard 

Langevin, Rema Kaleel and Tim 

Marten. 

Are there any activities, programs, 

leagues, or socials you would like the 

Tennis Committee to add to the tennis 

schedule next year? If so, please 

contact a member of the Tennis 

committee. We are always looking for 

new ideas!
