 NEW - "E-Newsletter"

The HOA has been working hard to start an "E-Newsletter" that will be downloadable from this website and e-mailed directly to those residents who have signed up to receive it.   We hope to save on printing and postal expenses, along with delivering news to you in a more timely manner.

To receive future "e-newsletters" and important news updates, please sign up by registering your email address (upper left side of this screen).  Tell your neighbors about this site and the  upcoming "e-newsletters"... it's news we all want to know.

It was brought to our attention at the Annual Homeowners Meeting that we were initially having an issue with email registration. If you previously signed up and did not see a confirmation window after entering your email information, please re-enroll.  This will ensure that you are included on our mailing list.  

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

 Frenchman's Bend Golf and Health Club

Although the HOA is a totally seperate entity from the Frenchman's Bend Golf and Health Club, the success of the club benefits us all.   Your support of the golf and health club is very important.   A variety of golf and social memberships are available.

Be sure to stop in the clubhouse and discover for yourself all of the great new changes and upgrades that have been made recently.

In addition to the golf course being in the best overall shape that it has ever been in, you will find a pleasing new interior with new furnishings, paint, etc.    The air conditioning and heating system has been replaced.  The pool has had some needed repairs made to it, with new patio furniture on the way.

Mulligan's restaurant is open to everyone.   If you haven't eaten there yet, check out their successful specials on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.   They also have a complete lunch buffet on Sundays in addition to serving lunch and dinner daily.

Check out the changes!!!
