Letter From the Lifestyle Team TIFFANY JONES YOUR INTERIM LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Summer is Here! We are absolutely thrilled here at Esplanade at Center Lake Ranch to gear up for a spectacular summer season! The kids are officially out of school, the sun is beaming, and there is no better time to gather, share laughter, and create unforgettable memories together. Since stepping into the role of your Interim Lifestyle Director, my absolute favorite part of the journey has been getting to know so many of you. I have already made so many wonderful connections with our Members, and it is my ultimate hope that you, too, are making lasting connections with your neighbors as our community continues to grow. We listened closely to your wonderful feedback this past spring, and we are delighted to share that we are adding a fantastic lineup of more evening activities and events so the fun can keep going long after the sun goes down! Our summer calendar is brimming with events designed to spark joy and bring us all closer together. Fire up your community spirit at our Independence Day BBQ, a perfect celebration of great food and summer vibes, and skip cooking on the last Friday of every month to savor delicious local
eats at Food Truck Friday. Dust off your neon and leg warmers for the totally tubular fun of ‘80s Bingo. We are also bringing the wild to you with an amazing Gatorland Show, which promises to put you right in the center of the action! As the season winds down, we will also be transitioning into the new school year with purpose and celebration through our Back-to-School Bash, alongside a Back-to-School Supply Drive to support the local students here in St. Cloud. As you explore our sunny summer offerings, please remember to properly register for each event via our Esplanade Center Lake Ranch Lifestyle website so we can provide the best possible experience for everyone. Your Lifestyle team is honored to host a season filled with connection, laughter, and plenty of moments that make life here truly special. Here’s to a summer that is vibrant, joyful, and brimming with fun!

PET FEATURE / WELLNESS
Furry Friends Meet Zumi & Remy
LOVED BY THE PEREZ FAMILY Every neighborhood needs a little star power, and the Perez family is delivering double the charm with their two furry “partners in crime,” Zumi and Remy! Zumi, a dapper six-year-old Schnauzer (who will be celebrating his lucky 7th birthday this October), pairs perfectly with Remy, a spunky French Bulldog who is just hit the fabulous age of five this past June. When they aren’t busy looking absolutely adorable, this duo keeps a very busy social calendar. Their absolute favorite pastimes include catching the breeze on golf cart rides and making new friends at the community Bark Park. They’ve also taken on a new hobby since moving into their new home: neighborhood watch (from the window of course). The pair is currently highly intrigued by and deeply suspicious of the local sandhill cranes. Want to get on their good side? It’s simple. While they love all treats, anything involving peanut butter will instantly make you their new best friend.
WANT TO FEATURE YOUR PET? Contact your Lifestyle Manager to be featured in the next edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Answer a few questions about your furry, feathery, or scaly friend and share a couple pictures.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT / ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Vivian & Rolando (Roly) Perez The Members of our community are truly what make this a wonderful place to live. In each edition, we will spotlight a Member, couple or family to showcase the amazing people that call our community home. If you would like to be featured or want to nominate another Member, please contact your Lifestyle Manager. Why did you choose Esplanade and where are you from? Of Cuban descent, Vivian and Roly spent most of their lives in South Florida. When it came time to look for their next chapter, they had a little inside information. A friend who already lived here sang Esplanade’s praises, prompting the couple to check it out for themselves. The turning point? They attended our Cooking & Cocktails Series before making their final decision. They fell in love with the “Esplanade Lifestyle” concept on the spot, purchased their home, and haven’t looked back since. Where is your favorite place to travel? Vivian has a special place in her heart for Italy, Ireland, and Scotland while Roly loves a cruise ship and warm weather! They are planning trips to Oregon and Portugal later this year. What activities and events do you like to participate in? They dive into as many activities as they can, particularly enjoying the cooking classes, community games, and trivia nights. For Vivian and Roly, the absolute best part of the experience has been getting to know their neighbors. What are your favorite hobbies? When they aren’t traveling or mingling at community events, you can find Vivian and Roly staying active right here at home. Roly is a passionate woodworker who can usually be found crafting something in the garage. When he steps inside, he loves playing dominoes, billiards, and pickleball. Vivian loves the water, spending her time relaxing by the pool or at the beach, traveling, and meeting new people. Look out for them around the neighborhood! One of their absolute favorite shared activities is loading up their beloved dogs for a golf cart ride down to the Bark Park.
Around Town FOURTH ON THE LAKE - CELEBRATING AMERICA’S 250TH ANNIVERSARY Saturday, July 4 | 4 - 10 p.m. Lake Front Park, St. Cloud This patriotic, family-friendly festival features live music from Modern Ties, the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, Sami’s Kid Zone, eating contests, glow putt-putt, yard games, plenty of food and drinks, and a spectacular, extended fireworks show synchronized to music!
