Homeowners Association News
www.HOACC.org
The community looks less crowded and the highways have less backups, so it must
be spring time. We have issues we need to address. There has been personal trash along
with hazardous waste (paint cans) disposed of in the Manatee Hall trash area. This trash
collection area it for trash accumulated in Manatee Hall only. No personal trash is to be
placed there. We have trash pick up twice a week so there is no need to place personal
trash there. If it will not be picked up from your home it will not be picked up there either.
To make matters worse there is even dog waste thrown there. A resident who had just
thrown his dog waste in the trash area was confronted and his response was “what I am
supposed to do with it”. He was advised to take it home to which he replied “no way”.
Maintenance workers will not remove these droppings so they just stay there and start
to smell. We are fortunate enough to live in a community that permits pets but if residents do not properly dispose of their waste, that privilege could be revoked. Only we
as residents can do detrimental things to harm ourselves. We are looking to see if a dog
waste container can be located around Manatee Hall and Friendship Hall without being
a detriment to area residents.
We are seeking suggestions on how to increase our HOA membership. We hear excuses
like “you can’t do anything for me”. Although we, as an HOA, cannot directly do specific
things we meet with management every month to talk about issues and work on ways
to improve life in Colony Cove. We are your only advocate with management. Numbers
carry more weight. This community of 2207 home sites has HOA membership of only 460.
This low percentage of membership doesn’t carry much weight when we try to negotiate
various issues.
A problem came to the attention of the HOA and Management. A vendor at the Free
Health Fair promised a resident a “free” procedure which the resident had. Several weeks
later the resident received a bill for $1700.00 dollars. The matter was finally dropped with
no cost to the resident and Management will no longer permit this vendor at the Health
Fair. Any additional residents who have been victimized by this vendor are urged to call
Ashley at the office.
Residents have asked where the money from the can recycling goes. We have a ledger
called the ”capital account” which is where those funds go. This fund is used to maintain
things in our halls. We replace burnt out coffee pots, (we average two per year at a cost
of nearly $200.00 each) “lost” kitchen utensils, cabinets we purchased in Manatee and
Friendship Halls to store everyday items. These items include toilet paper, trash bags, and
paper towels so our hall monitors have access to these items immediately when needed.
We use this fund to do other things too numerous to mention. In the year 2014, the can
recycling generated $1,664.00 dollars. This year we have generates YTD 780.00. We thank
you for your cooperation in our recycling and we thank the residents who volunteer to
collect and crush the cans.

Welcome Committee
The Welcome Committee in Colony Cove is part of the HOA. With the cooperation
of the Colony Cove Office we visit and hand out information, along with gifts,to the
new residents. We are so delighted to be part of this wonderful community and wish

Dear Friends of George and Linda Egmond,
Our family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude for the many kindnesses shown

comfort during a challenging and sad time. Thank you for being blessings in our
lives and for your friendship.

Colony Cove Friendly Social Club
I hope you are reading this article while relaxing on the beach watching dolphins swim by or gazing at
the beautiful flowers all in bloom around the pool. This is Summer in Florida but it certainly doesn’t mean
The Friendly Social Club is “taking it easy”!!!
This past month we celebrated Mother’s Day at the pavilion eating enormous steaks and enjoying
music on the river. Our beautiful Mothers ate for FREE and received a pot of flowers to plant when they
got home. The FSC Board sponsored this event and we all would like to thanks all our other volunteers
who helped make this party happen. We discovered that large tarps covering the pavilion allows us all
shade and a nice breeze to enjoy a sunny day. Thank you to all our men (plus Chris) with ladders and no
fear of heights who ventured to the top to tie it all down and then dismantle it later!!
Another Fun Night with games at Harmony Hall was held with Bob Sobon making hot dogs for all who
attended. These are FREE events for anyone in the park to come out and have a good time and meet new
neighbors. Thanks to Karen McInnis for planning all of them!! There will be NO more games nights until
Fall.
We also threw in a surprise dance at the end of the month to say goodbye to Spring and welcome in
Summer. Bob Sobon planned this and we were all entertained by the music of The Tropics. There was
lots of dancing being done and laughter to be heard. Thanks again to all who set up and cleaned up. We
just could not do any of these wonderful events without you!!
This month we look forward to our Father’s Day Dinner Dance. Pam Graham and Sandi Grove have
been planning a night to remember for all the Dads on their special day. Hickory Hallow will be catering a
delicious dinner with MP+3 providing the music for an evening of dancing. A raffle including scratch-off
tickets, gift cards and a TV are up for grabs for the lucky ticket holder. You do NOT need to be present to
win and can buy your raffle ticket on Saturdays at coffee. Dinner/Dance tickets are still on sale at Saturday
coffees so get yours before they are sold out. Dads get in FREE but you still need a ticket.
FSC will be very active all Summer with a dance on July 17th with “Sarasota Slim” providing great
music and Bob Sobon serving up sandwiches and chips to all who attend. All this for only $5 for the whole
evening. Doors open at 6:30. We will also have “The Accidentals” for a dance on August 12th. More
information on that will follow.
As always, we want to remind all members to wear their membership badges to all events including
each Saturday when we award $20 to 6 lucky members if they are wearing their name badges. Any new
residents of Colony Cove are invited, as our guests, to enjoy doughnuts and coffee at Harmony Hall between 7 and 9am. Our meetings are at 8:30. Membership is only $10 per person for the entire year. WHAT
A DEAL!!!

South Service and Hobby Club
We are taking our Summer break and will be in full swing in October.
Colony Cove South Hobby and Service club is a volunteer group,
gathering to promote friendship and share ideas and to help those in
need.
If you are a cancer patient and live in the park and would like our assistance or you know of one, please Contact Jan Belfield 941-722-6801.
We sell cancer bracelets made with cat’s eye beads representing all types
of cancer. All proceeds go to Colony Cove residents battling Cancer.
Other projects are Nursing Home favors, Ted E Bears for the Police and
Fire Departments, baby blankets, preemie hats for hospitals and mothers
in need. And scarves for our troops, lap robes, walker bags, adult bibs
for nursing homes and many more worthwhile projects.
We meet on Monday mornings at 9 AM at Friendship Hall. The first
Monday of the month is a business meeting and the others are busy
with many projects. No special skills are needed. Please come by and
see us. Join us in October.
Gabby Girls
by Ruth Heck
Well another month has passed and it is time for us to get together again and find out what has happened to any of us over the past
month. Hope your month has been as quite as mine. We will gather in
Ellenton Hall starting around 10:45 am and chit chat and then decide
where we will eat. Anyone is invited to join us. We are a group that spent
our time years ago supporting the North Hobby Club, like making the
Deputy Teddy Bears for the Sherriff's department to give to children in
an emergency, but have given up doing any of that stuff because our
fingers are getting too stiff to hold a needle anymore. So other groups
have taken over these tasks and we just sit back and gab and go out to
lunch once a month to keep in touch with one another. So if you would
like to join us please come on out June 4th and meet with us.
STAR CLUB
by Ruth Heck
June 16th the members of the Eastern Star Club will meet at a local
eating place to catch up on the local news of the area and of each other. Will decided at our May luncheon where we will go so that is why I
can not tell you now where it will be. Joan will call you and let you know
the time and place, so all you have to do is keep the date open and come
out and join us. See you on June 16th around the noon hour.

South Club News
(Including West Side Residents)
President Terry Gray
Vice President Dave Swinton; Treasurer Roy Bass; Secretary Cathy Magrin;
Directors Chuck and Marion MacLennan, and Teri Passmore
Aaaah, the wonderful, low humidity, tropical breezes......if only they would last throughout the summer! April and May have proven to be some of the nicest Florida months in
many a year. We had a few days of rain (and plan on more), and as summer approaches
with her sandy toes and wide brimmed hat, the steamier days will surely follow. We are
down to partial capacity in the park, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have trips to the
beach, to some of the local gardens, or to a favorite fishing hole.
April’s and May’s Board meetings found themselves getting thinner and thinner as club
members once again hit the highway to return by Mothers’ Day with kids, grandkids, and
great grandkids. We did have enough for quorums at both meetings and are planning a
packet distribution (idea and form still in the works) for all those new and beautiful homes
coming in. Packet will develop over the summer and early fall in time for next membership
drive. President Gray has been working closely with the HOA’s Welcoming Committee and
has even “found his name added” to their committee roster.
On a sad note, the members of C C South Club express their condolences to Roy Bass on
the death of his wife, Madlyn. Madlyn had previously been on the board of South Hobby
Club as treasurer. She will be missed for all her contributions and friendship.
All 2015-2016 function dates have been set. The entertainment and menus will be
forthcoming as the chairmans are scheduled:
November 8, Sunday—Welcome Back! Dinner
January 10, Sunday—Pot Luck dinner
February 14, Sunday—Valentine’s Day Ice Cream Social
March 20, Sunday—Club Appreciation dinner
April—Pancake breakfast desired, but not cemented as yet
May 7—Mothers’ Day breakfast, local restaurant
June 18—Fathers’ Day breakfast, local restaurant
The Board is considering additional activities spattered throughout the year, and possibly
this summer and early fall for those of us who are permanent residents.
Our Annual Mothers’ Day celebration gathered at Cracker Barrel, SR 64E, Bradenton, the
Saturday prior to the “bigger” day. The men were outnumbered, and rightly so! Thanks to
Treasurer Bass for chairing this salute to moms. Only the Board knew what a surprise the
ladies would get (curious aren’t we....)
The days are getting slower, the traffic is getting lighter, and the days are getting
longer, but that doesn’t mean anyone in the park—whether club member, resident, or
guest—should miss out on our weekly, Saturday morning coffees. Bring your mug and a
$1.00 to enjoy donuts, old friends, and new acquaintances. The first and third Saturdays
of the month offer a chance at 50/50, so bring your coin/penny jar! Membership business
meetings have been put on hold until October when the Snowbirds come flocking back
to Capistrano....okay, Ellenton! South Club Board continues to meet monthly throughout
the year the first Tuesday, 9:30 a.m., at Bayshore House.

Colony Cove Art Club
For those of you who are new to the park, the Art Club meets (during the season) every
Wednesday at 1:00 at Bayshore House for watercolor painting, or any media you choose.
Everyone is welcome to join us and try painting. We have a great time and we produce
some pretty great artwork! Each year in February or March we have our annual art and
photography show and sale at Harmony Hall where we exhibit our paintings and hopefully
sell a few things. Our membership for the full year is only $10. Please come and join us any
time. We now meet the first Wednesday of the month at 12:30 for our business meeting.
Painting will begin after the meeting.Hopefully all our members will start attending the
meetings so that they know what’s going on!
Our present officers are Barbara Hart, President; Fran Kain, Vice President; Carol Stephan,
Secretary; and Lucy Boucher, Treasurer. Cary Letsche will continue to be “workshop chairman” for the next season, and Pamela Turner is membership chairman.
We are always hoping for new members and will welcome you to the club. Please join
us there if you love to paint or even if you have never painted before and would love to
try it! We are very informal and beginners are always welcome. We have a limited amount
of art supplies available if someone wants to try to try painting without investing money
in all the “stuff” just to get going. We all work at our own level on any subject of our choice,
and it’s worth the extra effort to pack up your “art stuff” and get out of the house to paint
while we have fun and socialize! All of our members are very willing to help each other as
some are more experienced than others. We also have an extensive library of art books
that our members can borrow (No charge for that!).
Since the snowbirds have all gone north for the summer, we will continue to paint on
Wednesdays but will not hold regular meetings now until October. We hope to add some
new and exciting things for next season, so join in!
Hope to see you at the Art Club. For more information, please call Carol Stephan at
729-2134; or Barbara Hart at 720-878-2500.
Hopefully all of you Art Club members will keep busy, either painting or taking photographs with the hopes of new creations! See you all soon…………..Paint on!
Carol Stephan, Secretary
Harmony Hall Hobby Club
Suddenly everything has gone quiet, can’t think why! We miss them already. Some of
us are still here, still meeting every Tuesday at 9.00a.m., doing our own crafts, come and
join us.
We have many great craftswomen. When we do show and tell, many hand made items
are shown. Gen Wolf brought two necklaces, Marion Rockett with a necklace and matching
earrings made with purple stones, Marion is willing to show us how to make them when
she returns in the fall.
Arlene Gabriason showed some simple knitted pin cushions, and a cute coin purse
made out of a babies sock.
Pauline Green showed three tablecloths with colored weaving on Monk’s cloth.
Mary Wall made a purse out of a very long zip and some bead decorations.
De Griffin has painted plate, she is going to run a class later in the year.
Sue Grace showed and donated two lap robes that we are collecting and making for
local charities. So, if you have any yarn that we could use, we would be very grateful.
Barbara Sirois showed some of her purses and wallets, they are very nice, well worth a
look at.
Just a few of the things that we make, and we are always looking for new crafts to make,
and for classes that we may learn new skills. If you want to know what we get up to, join
us on a Tuesday at 9.00a.m.

Polish American Club of Colony Cove
Our traditional Easter meal was held on April 21st at 1p.m. at Friendship Hall. We feasted
on kielbasa, several varieties of pierogies, ham, hard boiled eggs with horseradish, traditional vegetables, and of course, sweet treats. We enjoyed the fellowship of our friends
as we celebrated a Polish Easter.
Please come and celebrate our heritage with us! We meet on the third Tuesday of the
month at Friendship Hall at 1pm until about 3pm, unless otherwise notified of a different
meeting place or a field trip for that month.
You don't have to be of Polish descent to become a member. We have members who
were once married to a Pole or had friends who were Polish and enjoyed the customs and
food. For whatever reason,come to a meeting/luncheon/gathering and join in the sharing and friendship. We learn more about our culture and heritage every time a member
contributes information, experiences and memories to the group. Please feel comfortable
bringing Polish items, photos, and yourself to our monthly gatherings.
Our gatherings will resume on November 17th at 1pm at Friendship Hall. We are now
making plans for our traditional Christmas meal and holiday celebration. We also have
plans to visit Port Manatee. If you have any suggestions for other field trips we can take,
please contact our president, Fran (Mularz) Kain (941-531-4667).
Have a safe and happy summer and we will look forward to seeing you again in November!

South Quilt Club May And June 2015
I accidently missed last month’s article for the Breeze so I am combining May and
June together this month. Sorry for the mishap.
Many of our Snow birds have left and are on their way north, we wish them a safe trip
home and a wonderful summer.
This past month the quilt club were still busy finishing up quilts that they had started
on their own with many different patterns. This month’s featured quilts in the Breeze are
sewn by Debbie which is all Flower Pots with some applique and another beautiful quilt
by Cheryl which is all Dog’s front and back, I love this quilt. And the last is the Bow Tie
quilt by Nora.
We also donated two Lap size “cheat” quilts to the Hospice in Ellenton. Once again the
materials that were used were donated.
If you would like to learn how to quilt, now is the time for you to stop by and learn from
all of us. Our group is at its lowest since many of our members are snowbirds so if you
would love to learn please come down and join us. If you are not joining because you do
not have a sewing machine you should know that we have a few loaners on hand so you
can certainly join our group. This past month we have four new members.
Would like to also remind everyone that we are always looking for donations of scrap
material or any type of sewing articles, we love to take donations. It’s amazing what this
group can create with scrap material. We received some already put together quilt squares
that just needed to be finished and quilted together this past month and, I am so sorry
that I forgot to get the women’s name that donated them to our group. We will finish them
and send them off to a good deserving home. If you have a donation please drop them
off at 315 Alkmaar Street or call and I will pick it up (722-5453). We would appreciate it if
you did not leave any materials or sewing notions at Barbara Clancy’s carport.
We meet every Friday at 9AM to 3PM at Friendship Hall. Many of us stay and have lunch
together. We are also extending our hours to Tuesdays between Noon and 4:00pm.
Remember our club is free there is no membership fee. So please stop by and visit with
us we all look forward to meeting you. Also remember that the Quilt Club continues all year
long, we still quilt for the summer months ie: May, June, July,August so please stop by if you
are interested in learning
On a final note we would like to send our deepest sympathy and condolences
to Barbara Clancy and her family in the passing away of her beloved sister, Linda
Egmond. Linda was also a long time quilting member and was such an inspiration
to all of us, her talents were never ending from quilting to painting.

Colony Cove Woodworkers Club
Fellow woodworkers, by the time your read this article I will be on my vacation heading out west
to see more of our natural wonders. I was remiss this season for not identifying any of our most talented members. Check out the
attached photos. Jim Kane has one heck of a lot of talent and patience. I sure hope his grandkids
appreciate all the time and effort.
Jim Kane, and his wife, Carolyn have been happy, contented Colony Cove snowbirds for 6 years,
and live at 3815 Countryside Drive here in Colony Cove. Each Spring, Jim and Carolyn return to their
home, which is in Fort Wayne, Indiana, so they can load up on hugs and kisses from their grandchildren.
Jim discovered a truly wonderful, relaxing pastime when he became a member of the Colony
Cove Wood Workers Club a few years ago. Jim likes that the club members and the club managers
are all a very friendly and supportive group. Everyone in the club is always ready and willing to
provide help, and give great advice and guidance with equipment and techniques to solve "project
problems".
Jim was lucky to have been raised in a woodworking environment at an early age. His father had
a fantastic basement workshop for wood and metal working. Back then, Jim gladly did his time by
sweeping up his dad's sawdust in order for Jim to learn a few woodworking skills along the way. When away from Colony Cove and the Wood Workers Club, Jim likes to search the Internet, old
wood workers magazines, and libraries looking for that next interesting project that would make
the next perfect gift to bring home for one of Jim's and Carolyn's grandchildren.
Jim also tries to find time to make wooden Remote Control Sailboats for himself so he can sail
them on a pond back home in Indiana.
Enjoy Your Summer. The Shop is Still Open..Please leave it cleaner than when you entered.

LET'S MAKE SOME SAWDUST TOGETHER
Amateur Radio Operators (HAMS)
Do you have an Amateur Radio License or are you studying for one?
Are you interested in finding out what it takes to be a Ham Radio
operator? If so, come join us.
The Colony Cove Amateur Radio Club meeting was held on Saturday, May 2nd with 5 members present. The club meetings have been
changed to the 1st Saturday of the month. Our next general meeting will be held on June
6th at 1 p.m. in Harmony Hall conference room.
We held a breakfast meeting on May 9th at the Ellenton Cafe and plan to have another
breakfast meeting on June 13th at the same location at approximately 9:30 a.m. The
breakfast meetings are decided on at the general meeting.
A few members took part in the Florida QSO party on April 25th by operating mobile
from 5 different counties. This is a contest to see how many counties other operators from
other parts of the country and world can contact in the state of Florida. We operated for
5 hours and made numerous contacts via phone and CW. Those operating were Dana
(K1RQ), Ken (W1KEN), and Jim (W4ESL).
Some of the members attended a Ham Fest in Pinelias Park sponsored by the Glorious
Society of the Wormhole on May 23rd. We pick various Ham Fests to attend at our monthly
meeting and you are invited to the meeting if you wish to learn more.
Once again our general meetings are held the 1st Saturday of the month at 1 p.m. in
Harmony Hall glass room. If you have any question please contact a member listed below:
Jim (W4ESL) - 729-4828

“29” ERS CRIBBAGE RESULTS
Another month gone. Getting into summer now and numbers are
falling with the migration north. If we end up going below 10 players
we may have to cancel out until September. During April we had some
of our players go over to Kissimmee for a tournament. They did pretty
good from what I hear. Maybe we will end up with State Champion one
day!!!! from our group. No 28 or 29 hands again this month. The Skunk
Pot will be put away until next season when our Northeners get back.
This makes it fair to our regular players when they get back. Hoping that
they all come back. Still looking for new players. Come and join us on
Friday afternoons at Harmony Hall. Start at 1:00PM. Sign in at 12.45PM.
Any questions call Sally Stokes 941-729-3945 or Brian Langley 941723-3744.

Cooking Challenge
Cooking Challenge meets this month on June 24th,
6:00pm at Manatee Hall. This month our challenge is any
Spanish dish. Last month was ground mustard and any
ground meat. Simple for appetizers and entrees but not so
for the side dish and dessert!!
In April we challenged Chef Constantine Brianas with
cumin and jicama. He more than wowed us; not only with
the dishes he prepared but he actually prepared each dish
in front of us on his portable kitchen. We will definitely be
bringing him back.
For those new residents or those who do not know what
we do. We meet the last Wednesday of each month at
6:00pm at Manatee Hall. Everyone brings a dish to provide
about 30 people a single bite (spouses are welcome to join
us). There is no meeting, no dues, just good conversation
and good food. At the end of the meal we draw a spice
and a food for the next month and each cook draws a card
to determine what type of dish to bring. We have four
categories; appetizer, side dish, entrée, or dessert.
For more information please contact Sue Shields at (859)
620-2928 or via email at [email protected]. FYI, we
are planning a road trip to a restaurant where the chef will
allow us to challenge him or her. I hope to have this set up
for April.

January 13, 2016 Johnny Rogers, Buddy
& Beyond, A salute to the 50’s & 60’s
Corporate Sponsors: Ravens Pizza, Mobile Home Sales by Jennifer
From Chicago to Lubbock Texas, from New York to London, this show has thrilled
audiences across the globe. Having a passion for Buddy’s music is one thing. Having the
God-given talent to perform the world’s finest tribute to a music legend is another. Johnny
was blessed with both, and lives to share this music with audiences worldwide.
Along with Buddy Holly, the show brings you music from a young Elvis, Jerry lee Lewis,
Chuck Berry, Ricky Nelson, The Beatles, Roy Orbison, CCR, and on and on, leaving audiences
wondering what he’ll do next.
February 10, 2016: Pavlo Guitar Show
Corporate Sponsors: Tropical Mobile Home Sales & Rentals
Pavlo Simtikidis is a guitarist who plays, “a Mediterranean sound mixing the folkloric
styles of Greek and Latin with pop sensibilities”. Composing in a unique style that can
best be described as “Mediterranean”, Pavlo combines elements of flamenco, classical and
Latin music accentuated by the presence of Greek Bouzouki. Pavlo tours the world with
his sizzling show and has sold over a half a million records in Canada. Born in Toronto,
Canada, he is the son of Greek immigrants of Kastoria, Greece.
Duo Romantico
Duo Romantico are completely unique in today’s entertainment scene. They are two
classically trained singers. Atilio Marinelli is a powerful, dramatic tenor and his wife Christy
is a lovely, lyrical mezzosoprano. When their gorgeous voices intertwine, it is nothing short
of magical. Their show brings to life all the favorite love duets from films such as “Moulin
Rouge”, “Pearl Harbor” and “The Godfather”. These two experienced stage performers
aren’t content to just stand and sing, they act out each song. Christy transforms herself,
just by pulling her hair back, into a dying Evita Peron and sings the heartbreaking “Don’t
Cry for Me Argentina”. The audience gets into the swing by helping out with such Italian
favorites as “Volare” and “Funiculi/Funiculi”. This will be a truly
enjoyable show.

show is sure to please any audience. Eric discovered his sense of humor at a young age

harder than ever on a career that, at first was deemed a
“distraction”. When not on stage Eric spends his time with his beautiful wife at their quiet
home in central Florida.
