From the Section 22 HOA BOD By Lynda Vail, Director All right, I now have been made aware that it is my turn to write an article for The Beacon as a Section 22 HOA Board member; another added perk! As you all know, after being unable to run for the Board due to an oversight, which was corrected immediately, the Board has asked me to fill a recent vacancy. This I have accepted, and am very thankful to be a member of this board, which spends endless hours to improve this community. It is great meeting people and learning new things. We are never too old to learn! My position will be shared with Greg Beaton as the liaison to BSMCC and, also for “Home for the Holidays.” Having these positions will give me the opportunity to enhance what already has been going on as the Activities Coordinator for Burnt Store Marina Country Club. Most of you may know my husband, Bob and me from Monday nights Trivia. This has become one of the most popular evenings at Linkside Café. Seeing people laughing, having fun and meeting others warms our hearts. On the other side, coming up with 15 questions every week, for three years now, is becoming quite the project. The biggest benefit from Trivia is using the money that we make to give back to BSMCC in many ways, i.e., TVs, bands, prizes and décor for events, etc. Exciting things are being done in our community. The enthusiasm generated by those implementing these changes, along with the community’s receptiveness, is exhilarating. The Linkside Café lanai has been painted, new ceiling fans are being installed, and as soon as these hot, hot, summer days go away, the lanai floor will be repainted. New chairs will be purchased with much of the cost being generated from Trivia income, donations from Bingo, and a couple of community members. This will leave the expense to the Club at a minimum. We thank you all for making this happen. The original chairs will be used outside for events. The new carpet in the restaurant has been a welcoming sight. Thank you for submitting your favorite photos of the golf course. Photos were chosen, and you’ll have to stop in and see if one of yours was selected. The recent décor on the walls brightens up the dining room and is fitting of a golf club. The Tiki Hut, to cover the old patio area and the Tiki Stage, will enhance the outside in so many ways. What an impact they will have on golfers and outside events. Now, speaking of events, watch out for the monthly calendar and flyers. There are some great times ahead. Chef Seth is always coming up with new menu and dinner ideas. The staff has been very receptive with great service. Of course, our “Food Truck and Music Nights” From the Section 22 HOA BOD on page 4
