Our Members continue to give generously to those in need. This past fall, we collected an abundance of non-perishables for Eva’s Closet, and your kindness made a real impact. Thank you for supporting our community! One of the best things about Esplanade Lake Club is that there are so many Members with different interests and hobbies. If you have a particular interest that you would like to share with your friends and neighbors, we have multiple opportunities to become a club leader; all you have to do is share your interest with your Lifestyle Manager. As you review the upcoming activities and events on the interactive calendar, please remember to register for any events and activities you would like to attend.

Laurie Thomas PERSONAL TRAINER

ith a strong passion for helping individuals achieve their fitness objectives, I am a dedicated personal trainer and fitness class instructor. My approach is centered on dynamic and varied workout plans designed to prevent boredom and continuously challenge my clients.

Help Backyard Wildlife
W
inter is here and it’s a perfect time to spend a Green Hour® helping backyard wildlife thrive throughout the season. Many of the beneficial insects, birds, and small
animals in your backyard may find it harder to find shelter, water, and food in the coming months. You can help by simply placing a shallow dish of water in a sunny spot in your backyard. If you place a container on the ground, add a rock or two near the edge to help smaller creatures crawl out. Keep the containers clean and refill when low. Find more tips and activities from the National Wildlife Federation by scanning the QR code or visit thegreenhour.org/ activity/help-backyard-wildlife.
