2025 Personalized Membership Cards Coming!
We are excited to announce that your 2025 membership cards will be personalized with your name. As you know, each household receives two (2) membership cards. For those members who are single members, your name will appear on both cards. For those members who are family members, the name of the “member” will be printed on one card and the name of the “co-member” will be printed on the second card. To allow our printer sufficient time to produce the personalized cards, you will need to have renewed your 2025 membership by December 1, 2024 to receive a personalized card. Members who renew after December 1 will receive their membership card without personalization.
Website’s Electronic Directory To Take the Place of Paper Directories
Our new website,parkshoreassociation.com, allows you to access names, addresses and phone numbers of all active Park Shore Association members in real time. The electronic directory is found by clicking the “Membership” tab at the top of the home page and then “Directory”. With the thoughtful involvement of the Board of Directors and our Block Captains, we have decided that it is time to end the paper printing of the membership directory that you have normally received with your membership cards. This was both an economic and ecological decision. For those members who wish to have a printed directory, we plan to offer for the year 2025 only, a printed list of members as of 12/31/24 at a cost of $15.00. The printed list can be ordered on our website under “Membership” and it will be mailed or delivered to you in late January.

Hello Colonade Owners - Welcome back to many of you who recently arrived for the season. It has been a very busy late summer and early fall inside our community. Here is what's happening:
Hurricane’s Helene and Milton have kept us all on edge and unfortunately caused some plant damage to our new landscaping, trees and grass. We are working with our landscapers on fertilizing to promote new growth and replanting of the annuals. PLEASE DO NOT ADD, REMOVE OR REPLACE ANY PLANT MATERIALS IN YOUR FLOWER BOXES OR STREET FRONT. The Landscape Committee has contracts in place to continue the upgrading and beautification of our landscaping.
CONSTRUCTION MORATORIUM BEGINS DECEMBER 15, 2024 AND ENDS ON MAY 1, 2025. ONLY SMALL/QUIET PROJECTS SUCH AS CARPETING AND PAINTING CAN CONTINUE INSIDE. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS MORATORIUM WAS ADOPTED INTO THE BYLAWS OVER 30 YEARS AGO TO ENSURE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AT THE MOST POPULATED TIME OF THE SEASON. PLEASE RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBORS. EMERGENCY REPAIRS ARE AUTHORIZED.
Repairs in progress: LAKE FOUNTAINS: The north fountain failed during hurricane Milton and a new part, under warranty, has been ordered from the vendor. It will be approximately one month before the repair will be completed. New lights for the south fountain were also ordered and the replacement date will be set upon receipt of the parts. BUILDING LIGHTS: Naples Lighting will be on site on November 4 to repair currently broken carriage and flower box lights on buildings with outages. FRONT GATE: The broken power supply to the code reader was ordered and the front gate should be fully operational by Friday. The CLUBHOUSE FOUNTAIN: will be pressure washed and painted before the re-opening of the new clubhouse in December.
SAVE THE DATES:
Window washing will begin on November 11 and will be completed by November 15 weather permitting. The vendor will begin with building 1 and work around the circle in ascending order. You must leave your driveway clear for them to reach your front windows. Broken screens will not be removed. All working screens will be removed and replaced following completion of the cleaning.
Sidewalk pressure washing and spot removal will begin immediately following the completion of window washing.
Holiday lights are in place and will be lit for the entire season beginning on November 27.
The next Board of Directors Meeting/Budget Adoption Meeting will be on December 5 at 9:00am. Also, mark your calendars for the Annual Meeting of Owners on January 23, 2025 at 10:00am.
