A Note from the President Pumpkins, cool weather and falling leaves are here. Which means Thanksgiving isn’t far behind. Then national and local elections (don’t forget to vote!) and our community annual meeting and elections. As of now we do not have anybody indicating that they are running for the board. October was a busy month starting with the Ladies Luncheon Fashion Show, Bunco Pot Luck, A Night in Italy, The Greatest Show, Cary Police Scams presentation, Ladies Luncheon presentation from the Cary Senior Center and the Annual Art Show. Our thanks go out to Nancy Romano, Saundra Robinson, Diane and Dick McCarraher, Eva Germano, Judy Smith, Bob Hodes, Nancy White, Eileen Fitzger-ald and Joan Ward for orchestrating all of these GREAT events. This community is blessed with volunteers who share their talents and we are grateful.
The sign-up for the Holiday Party is coming up
this month. It is going to be at the Embassy Suites, behind the old Sam’s
Club. The Social Committee listened to your complaints about last year’s and
moved it closer to our community and also changed the band. Read the

Grounds Committee Notes Pine straw and hardwood mulch for the fall
We will be applying new pine straw to the common
areas and shredded hardwood mulch around the clubhouse and pool which will
comply with the Town of Cary ordinance passed this year concerning fire
safety. These applications will occur in early December after the majority
of leaves have fallen. We are pleased to announce that once again, Pine
Straw Distributors will be offering their services to you if you would like
pine straw or mulch applied around your home. The window to sign up for the
pine straw and mulching will be from Monday, November 1, 2010 until Tuesday,
November 30, 2010. Pine Straw Distributors will be applying the straw during
the first week of December and ending no later than December 17, 2010.
Signup sheets will be Controlling growth around our clubhouse pond and Serenity pond
This growing season we instructed Brickman to
mow and edge to within 2 feet of the water’s edge in order to prevent
cuttings from entering the water and aggravating the control of algae. We
also wanted to not cut the pickerel plants that are spreading around the
perimeter of the clubhouse pond and hedges which are spreading around the
perimeter of Serenity pond. These aquatic plants will hopefully crowd out
other weeds and grasses and present a more attractive pond appearance.
However, once the frost and colder fall temperatures have caused the growth
in these strips to die back we have instructed Brickman to cut to the

As the long, hot, dry summer drew to an end, we
performed our fall turf renovations. Our aerating efforts reaped rewards in

community – we need your help!! Please double check that your irrigation
system is operating properly, and applying the proper amount of water. All
of the lawns that are being watered properly are seeing great results.
During November, we will also be applying our winter fertilizer to the
lawns.
Check out the mulching opportunities. We will be
