a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty
princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad
guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude
and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve
got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily,
there’s one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking

Plant replacement
& sod installation.
Typically, April and May are the driest months of
the year. It’s before rainy season and the heat index is
high. Therefore, we postpone the vast majority of plant
replacement until June when the rains return. This
planned scheduling is an effort to minimize plant loss
due to a lack of water because the first thirty days are
critical for new plantings.
East Bonita Beach Stakeholders Association
A meeting of the East Bonita Beach Stakeholders
was held on May 17 at Hunters’ Ridge. Martha Simons,
City Councilwoman from District 5 was the principal
speaker. Martha is the city’s representative to the CREW
(Corkscrew Regional Estuary Watershed). Since the CREW
supplies all water for Bonita Springs, as well as the rest of Lee
and all of Collier Counties, its well being is of vital interest to
all of us here in Village Walk. Terry Brennen, a CREW trustee
gave a presentation on the importance of the CREW to both
human and wild life. We hope to have him visit Village Walk
in the fall and share his knowledge with all of us.
The new gun range on Bonita Beach Rd. was also discussed.
The range has been issued a cease and desist order by Lee
County. (Since their property is not part of incorporated
Bonita Springs, they fall under county jurisdiction.) Gun shots
are still being heard; however, and the issue has been reported
to Bill Lonkart, the city council rep for our district 6, who is
working with the county.
The proposed ST. Matthew’s shelter, the Cafe of Life,
remedies for seasonal flooding, plans for a new library, and
the paving of the remaining dirt roads in Bonita were among
other topics discussed.
The East Bonita Beach Stakeholders Association was
formed four years ago to deal with issues unique to our
part of Bonita Springs, such as residential and commercial
development, shooting ranges, hunting, etc. All communities
east of I75 are members, since we have mutual interests, for
the most part. For additional information, please contact Tom
or Sandy Gibbons at 239-949-1887 or Clement Ross at the
Town Center.

Bike Concerns/Bike Racks
There will be a new bike rack being

bike in the rack when using the Town

do not ride your bikes on the Town
Center sidewalks. These areas are for
pedestrians. Please walk your bikes for the safety of all
residents. No biked permitted inside Lap pool area.
Pool Maintenance
Dabco Pools will be scheduling an acid wash for
both the resort and lap pools in June. Signs will be
posted on the pool gates during this maintenance which
requires closing each pool for one week. The process
requires each pool to be drained to expose and treat
the pool surface. One pool will remain open while the
other pool undergoes this treatment.

Hurricane Season Begins
June 1 through November 30.
Hopefully this year will be a quiet year for
Hurricanes.
Shutters may be installed June 1 through November
30th if the home will be unoccupied for the Hurricane
Season. Reminder all shutters must come down or
reopen December 1, no exceptions.
Remember to take stock of what you have on the
exterior that needs to be secured during a hurricane or
while you are away: Potted plants, exterior umbrellas
and lanai furniture and exterior art décor all needs
to be secured or put away for the season, or prior
to a hurricane. Any small, loose items can become
missiles during these storms, causing a lot of damage to
property, screened cages and unprotected windows.
Check you pool enclosures and lanai cages for rusty
or brown or missing bolts and replace any found with
new bolts: this keeps them strongest in high winds.
Must haves in your ready-to-go
emergency kit:
• 1 gallon of drinking water per day per person
• Non-perishable ready-to-eat- food (canned foods/
milk, peanut butter, energy or granola bars, etc.)
