Letter From the Lifestyle Team TONIANNE GIANAKOUROS YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Happy New Year! I can’t believe we’ve completed another trip around the sun! With 2026 comes even more events, celebrations, and opportunities of fun for all ages. I’m excited to keep growing our programming and make this our best year yet at Skye Ranch. Mark your calendars—two events you won’t want to miss are heading your way! More Than a Movie: K-Pop Demon Hunters The global hit is officially getting its moment to shine at Skye Ranch. Enjoy themed trivia, our My Little Soda Pop Lab, and even a surprise visit from HUNTR/X themselves. End the evening by enjoying the movie on The Hub big screen. Groove on the Green – March 28 at Turner Park Our first annual all-day outdoor music festival is on the horizon! Groove on the Green will bring together food trucks, a local market, a kids zone, and some of the best live music around. Multiple ticket options will be available so you can choose the perfect festival experience. It’s the ideal way to kick off the spring season—and trust me, you’ll want to secure your tickets early! And, this is just the beginning. Be sure to watch your email and check Clubhouse Online for all the exciting events coming your way in 2026.

Recent Events Pickled Pink
It’s a Wonderful Lifestyle
Doing good one dink at a time! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Pickled Pink charity pickleball event. Together, we rallied for a great cause — Breast Health Sarasota — and had an amazing day filled with fun, friendly competition, and community spirit. Congratulations to all our winners and participants for making this event such a success!
Members were transported to a cozy Swiss Alps–inspired winter wonderland at our signature holiday celebration. Dressed in festive holiday and après-ski attire, everyone enjoyed an evening filled with lively music from the Bay Kings Band, delicious German-inspired cuisine, and a crowd-pleasing s’mores bar. With exciting raffles, great company, and plenty of holiday cheer, the night was a beautiful celebration of community and the magic of the season.
PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT
DIY Wrapping Paper WORKSHOP
Members kicked off the season with creativity and festive flair. The room was filled with holiday cheer as participants designed their own custom wrapping paper. From classic seasonal motifs to bold, modern designs, everyone put their personal touch on gift-giving this year. Laughter, inspiration, and plenty of sparkle filled the space as neighbors shared ideas and compared their artistic creations.
