Whiskey Creek Civic Association Membership By Cole Peacock and Sally Gins What Does A Membership Entail? By becoming a member of the Whiskey Creek Civic Association (WCCA), you are at no obligation other than your financial contribution which goes directly into the betterment of our community. The purpose of the Civic Association is to plan for the preservation of the neighborhood and to promote and enhance the general welfare, safety, and civic spirit of the community. Our goal is to maintain the reputation of Whiskey Creek in Southwest Florida as a highly desired community to live in. Where Does The Money Go? Your membership donation helps maintain all the great things that encompass our community. The funds collected are used to pay for the following items: community newsletter and its postage, website, social and holiday events, maintenance of damage and/ or upkeep not covered by the MSTBU, membership
mailings and its directory, holiday lights/decor, storage rental, and more. All remaining funds thereafter are being allotted toward our fundraising goal to upgrade both entrances and the landscape along Whiskey Creek Drive. Your board members have been working hard to collect bids and make plans for this valuable project. There is no doubt these enhancements will continue to increase your property value. How Do I Become A Member? You will receive a formal letter by mail, but you can also sign up on our website www.whiskeycreeknews. net. or by scanning the QR code. Click on Membership.

Yard Of The Month By Mark Franzer 1786 Whiskey Creek is ordained with the native flora and fauna that we, as Floridian residents, may have taken for granted. This is the desire of Rino and Connie Pirone who have endeavored to recapture the essence of original Florida. They are a rather unique couple. I had enjoyed hearing of the “story” of this Glasgow Scotland “import” with experience 1786 Whiskey Creek being United Nations Chief of Finance following Connie’s interests perpetuated by her mother to capture a residence in our beloved Whiskey Creek. Although baited to pursue a more gated community

home life for three sons. And have they ever prospered from the centrally located safe community. Drive by and slow on the corner and take note; the enchantment of this “original” landscape wonder is butterfly-friendly and “friendly” is most certainly guaranteed by these wonderful residents!
