From the IITS Media Editor: une 16,2020 Welcome to the July 2020 edition of your ‘Island in the Sun Sentinel’. J When you read this we will be going into our fourth month of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and shutdown. Things are starting to open at little more in Florida and other states, but it is still important to follow state and local guidelines when venturing out. Hopefully things will start getting a little more back to normal (whatever that may mean!). As of now I do not have any information about when the clubhouse will be opening back up, but as of right now, the pool is open at 50% capacity, and pickleball is also open. NOTE: As of Monday, pickleball and shuffleboard, and the fitness center are also open. Other activities should be ramping back up soon. Calendar and monthly activities information is provided by the HOA and the activities committee. Note we are starting to open up for outdoor activities, will keep everyone posted on status of clubhouse opening. I encourage everyone to watch the sign board, sign up for the various FB sites, and the RoboCall phone messaging service. I encourage anyone who would like to share to submit an article regarding how they came to be at IITS. Anything pet related is welcome as well. We need to get back to making the media about IITS and our residents! I would really like to hear ideas of what you as residents would like to have included in the monthly media, or if there are any topics you would like to see on a monthly basis. Participation and submission of articles from you would be welcomed. Please submit articles to: [email protected] or if you prefer to submit via handwritten articles, please place them on top of the chest by the slider door in the carport, or hand to Jim or me personally. Thank you to those who continue to contribute articles for the monthly media! Everyone stay safe and be careful! President’s Corner Tony Williams, Lot 74 uly 2020 - Letter from the President This month’s message is short and sweet, but its message is big. J Four words to remember...JUST LOOK AROUND YOU. We are living in very disturbing times right now for sure. A pandemic, the likes of we none of us have seen in our lifetime. Protesting in the streets all over the world. In the midst of an economic slump not seen since the Great Depression. Sounds pretty gloomy, right? JUST LOOK AROUND YOU! Your locked in with your family for the most part and you get to spend time with the ones you love most. Time you wouldn’t have if the virus quarantine wasn’t in effect. JUST LOOK AROUND YOU! You have a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. ...continued on page 6 ISLAND IN THE SUN SENTINEL JULY, 2020 E 5 JUST LOOK AROUND YOU! There are neighbors and friends around you right here that love you and care about your welfare. And most importantly, LOOK AROUND YOU! God saw fit to grant you another day. Another breath. Many people did not wake up today. The point of all of this is to appreciate all the things that you’ve been given and make the most out of what you have. “JUST LOOK AROUND YOU” Until next month, friends! Tony Williams Men’s Breakfast/Ladies Luncheon Men's Breakfast – No write up for the men’s breakfast – Bob Disney will be taking this over. Ladies Luncheon - I am happy to report that Ladies luncheon will be held on Thursday, July 18. Thanks Nancy, for continuing this great tradition. Stay tuned for location information!
