Dear Residents,
As we welcome the month of May, we would like to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for continuing to make Summerloch Green such a warm, friendly, and vibrant community.
SUN ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
With the beautiful weather here, it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy all our community has to offer! Whether it’s spending time by the pool or playing a game of shuffleboard, we hope everyone takes advantage of the sunshine and outdoor amenities.
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENTS
We’ve refreshed the flower beds at the entrances on Laura St. and Lake Kathryn Cir., and they are looking amazing for the spring season. Be sure to check them out!
THANK YOU TO OUR RESIDENTS
Thank you to all residents who continue to support and take pride in our community. Your efforts truly make a difference.
SHUFFLEBOARD UPDATES
We’re excited to share that we’ve purchased brand-new shuffleboard equipment for residents to enjoy! This includes new cues and discs, making it easier for both experienced players and beginners to join in. Whether you’re looking for a fun, casual game or a friendly competition with neighbors, shuffleboard is a great way to stay active and social. We encourage everyone to stop by the courts, give it a try, and enjoy this classic community activity.

Lemon Asparagus &Chicken Pasta
INSTRUCTIONS
INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup basil pesto, or to taste
• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
STEP 1: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
STEP 2: Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip; add 1 dollop pesto to each chicken breast. Continue to cook until no longer pink in centers, flipping as needed, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
STEP 3: Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus; cook and stir for 1 to 3 minutes, depending how tender you like it. Add lemon juice, garlic, and pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked pasta, 1 dollop pesto, and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese melts. Add 1 tablespoon reserved pasta water if cheese begins to stick to the skillet.
STEP 4: Chop chicken and place on top spaghetti; season with salt and black pepper.
