June, 2016
From The Social Club
The Season is over, snowbirds have gone home and the Park is really quite. Shows and dances are
over and bingo has been put back in the closet till the fall. What a great season we had here at PCV.
There was always something going on and sometimes you had to decide which ones to attend. We
rounded out the season with a Hawaiian Luau, complete with costumes for our photos. Thanks so much
to Sherry and Jim Collins for the great pictures.
As we prepare for next season, remember to mark your calendars for the Memorial Day Picnic, 4 th of
July Celebration, and of course Labor Day Italian fest. Always remember volunteers are needed to make
each of these events a success.
Not much else to tell, but do check the bulletin board in Tanner Hall, you never know there might be
a new posting that may interest you.
Have a great summer; be it is up north or here, if you are staying at PCV.

From the Park Manager
Well, we started May out very hot but towards the middle of the month the rain started coming. What
a welcome relief. Of course it is still hot but with all the fires around the surrounding counties we really
needed the rain.
With that being said, that brings us into hurricane season. Please make sure you have a well-thought
out plan of action in case we are ordered to evacuate. Which of course, includes your pets. For the fulltime residents, as of mid-May we have new brochures from Charlotte County Emergency Management
which are available at Tanner Hall. This brochure gives a lot of important information in case of an
evacuation. It also gives a list of the shelters in the area. Please call these shelters to make sure they
will be open, if they accept pets and IF they have a list, put your name on it. It never hurts to be
prepared.

The I-75 wall is finally up and the construction is still on-going. Boy what a difference a wall can
make on traffic noise. It will be a mess on the Interstate for a while but will be well worth it once
completed. While entering and exiting the Interstate please be careful and watch for all the construction
signs.
I have submitted the signed contract for the shuffleboard resurfacing and asked to be on the
schedule to have the work completed mid-September. That will be nice to have that nice and new.
The application for three oak trees to be removed has been sent into Charlotte County for their
approval. Now it is a wait and see on whether or not they will allow us to have them removed.
During the water test this past season several homes were found to either have a shut off valve that
was not working or did not have one at all. I have contacted five plumbing companies so far to obtain a
bulk bid for the shut off valves on 31 homes in the park. Once I have the bids and have chosen the
company, the affected homeowners will receive a letter requesting approval because this expense is the
homeowners.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer wherever you are and we look forward to your return this
fall.

THANK YOU TO OUR FRIENDS
My sincere thanks, to all of you that sent cards and kind words following the death of my Aunt,
Eleanor Beuke. She loved Port Charlotte Village as much as I do
Sharon Gresko #372
So many thanks are in order for so many people who have done so much to make the end of the
“snowbird season” a wonderful experience for PCV residents and renters. Many have been and will be
recognized, but we wanted to be certain to offer a special thank you to the folks who have been
professionally, patiently and cheerfully documenting our participation in some of these events.
So thank you to Jim and Sherry Collins #223, Tom Hirsch #135 and Bunny Quindazzi #28. Your
framed photographs from the Wine and Cheese party and the 50 th Anniversary celebration will provide
many lasting memories.
