President’s Message Hopefully, we are looking at the end of hurricane season and leaving that stress behind so we can enjoy the upcoming fall and holiday seasons. The Annual Whiskey Creek Fall Festival was another great time for the community and for all our families. Sally Gins and the Board of Directors and the entire Fall Fest team of volunteers did an amazing job. The fun times with live music, food, drinks, kids’ zones, arts and crafts, bounce houses, pony rides, putt putt, and much more would not be possible without the generous sponsors. As we wrap up another community event it is time to start preparing for the Annual Golf Cart and Bicycle Parade. As you all know the parade has grown to over 100 carts with amazing decorations. The support of the sheriff’s office and the country club has allowed us to continue to have a unique
holiday tradition. I cannot wait to see all the creatively decorated carts and bicycles. The parade will be on Dec. 16 and you can find more information on the Whiskey Creek Facebook page. The Whiskey Creek Country Club is making big moves, new looks, a new chef, and a new weekly dinner service. Make a visit and enjoy the new dinner menu by Chef Chris. Dinner is only served on Tuesday and Friday night! Reservations are not required but are encouraged. You can also stop during the weekend for brunch and some tasty beverages. As we continue to serve our community to the fullest with community gatherings or neighborhood enhancement projects the board is excited to announce our newest board members: Mike McQuagge, Amy Kitzmiller Pappas, and Michele Smiley, and the appointment of Melissa Metzger as treasurer. If you see them in the community, please thank them for their service and commitment to our community. The Whiskey Creek Civic Association (WCCA) Board meetings reconvened in September. WCCA meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. We encourage
the community to attend and participate with any questions or concerns you may have as we serve this community for each of you. We are very proud and honored to have such a great working relationship with the country club as they host the meetings and keep the bar area open just in case you get thirsty. If you cannot join the board meetings you can always visit the website to review the minutes, get familiar with deed restrictions, or review all the new committees to better serve our community. The board would like to remind you that all deed restrictions for boats, trailers, RVs, yard maintenance, etc., are back to full enforcement. Again, we have resumed full President’s Message on page 4

Yard Of The Month By Mark Franzer Residing at 5616 Montilla Drive is the Thomas Severini family of whom I owe a huge apology. Normally I personally introduce myself with the selection for the Yard of the Month recognition however, my personal life has hugely intervened! With that said, I did not follow up with this personal correspondence in providing you, the reader, the insight of this home’s owner on how their personalism had fueled their signature efforts of calling this their “home.” I owe the Severini family a huge apology 5616 Montilla Drive for not being as astute as I should have been. This is a volunteer effort in recognizing those that deserve and as well as informing our residents of a class act apparent by the care they’ve provided not only to their home but the community as well! Thomas, your efforts have been duly noticed and are worthy of far more respect that just this editor can give. Good job and I will make an attempt to meet you and thank you personally for a job well done!
