Blue Heron Pines

It is getting close to starting the 2021 Bean Bag Baseball Season.

We have only 7 teams reporting in. We have 50 players that have been signed up by their captains.

There has been a signup roster in the Clubhouse since 16th of November. Please go to the clubhouse and sign up if you are interested in playing this year.

We have room for many more teams. I will be checking daily. You can sign up as a group for a team or just put your name on the roster and be assigned to a team later.

There will be a meeting at 2PM on the 17th of December 2020 by the team captains and any others that may be interested to discuss the rules of play. we will also be discussing Covid-19 precautions, and any other issues that may arise.

Please mark your calendars.

Our annual Christmas Cart parade will be held the evening of December 11, 2020 as part of our Winter Wonderland.

The carts will line up at the Community Center at 4:45.

If you would like to participate in the parade, please sign up in the Community Center or contact Maureen Heger or Ann Marie Kulling, so we have an idea of how many carts to expect.

All are welcome at the community if you would like to see the carts up close and personal. We have so many very creative people in our community, please come and support them.

However, don’t forget they will travel up and down each street in the community. Once the parade is completed, they will return to Community.

 

House Decorating Contest: The annual house decorating contest will take place on Friday, December 11, 2020 at the Community Center parking lot anytime between 5 and 7:30.

Each person is entitled to one vote. So as the holidays approach and we start to decorate our homes, take a few minutes to ride around and search for your favorite home.

Please take note of the lot number of your favorite, because that is what you need in order to vote.

There will be 3 prizes, first, second and third place.

Any questions see Maureen Heger or Ann Marie Kulling

Our annual Winter Wonderland will be held on Friday, December 11, 2020, 5pm at the Community Center Parking lot. The event this year is sponsored by the HOA and Sun Communities.

It is that time of year to deck out your golf cart and join in our traditional holiday parade. This year we will go up and down each street in the community.

Carts should start to line up at 4:45 pm at the mail kiosk. We are asking that all cars be removed from the parking lot by 3:30 pm to allow us to set up for the festivities.

Once the parade returns to the parking lot, we will proceed with our tree lighting, the voting for best decorated home and best cart.

All to take place in the parking lot Prizes will we awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category. Sun Communities has hired “The Loud Italian Pizza” truck to serve pizza from 6-8 pm.

You must sign up in the community center by Sunday, December 8 if you would like a pizza that night.

There will be no late additions, as we must provide the information to the pizza company in order for them to prepare for our event.

Anyone who signs up will get a ticket which will entitle them to one pizza (cheese or pepperoni).

Tickets can be picked up at the mail kiosk on Thursday, December 10, between 2-4pm. If you did not sign up, please don’t expect to be able to get a ticket that day.

The HOA will provide soda, water and hot chocolate and cookies. Just a reminder to follow the social distancing guidelines and wear a mask if you feel that social distancing is not possible. All questions should be directed to Maureen Heger or Ann Marie Kulling.

Attention: The Blue Heron Pines annual auction for 2021 has been cancelled.

The committee has decided that with Covid-19 restrictions and concerns, it would not be in the best interest of the BHP Community to hold it at this time.

They came to the decision very reluctantly. Their chairman has asked that this notice be posted

We would have liked to have had this meeting in late November, but covid-19 has not cooperated thus far.

Leo Zehnder has done a great job over the last many years in managing the league and I thank him for his years of dedication and service to the league.  He will be a guest member of the league and we invite him to continue to shoot in the league.

Our ideal plan is to maintain 10 players on each of 4 teams and playing partners as we have had in the past. You will be shooting with the same partner for that night only.  You will be scheduled with a different partner each week.  The season starts Wednesday January 6th and concludes in late March.  We will be shooting for 12 weeks in succession.  Two teams will shoot Wednesday evenings and the remaining two teams will shoot Thursday evenings.  A schedule will be prepared and will indicate the night’s you are shooting.  Please note the days you shoot may vary week to week.  All games will begin at 7:00 sharp.  Please be on time as it takes a while to get all games completed hopefully before 10:00 in the evening.

I encourage each player to show up the night you are playing.  It is a strain on your team if you cannot shoot.

It is likely our Canadian members may not make it this year.  We hope for the best.

The entry fee is one time charge of $5.00, payable the first night you are scheduled to shoot.  Ideally, we will have 3 Pizza nights, usually the 4^th, 8^th, and final awards night.  The 13^th week we will have a single elimination tournament beginning at 5:00 pm or earlier.

If you are interested in shooting in the league in 2021, please register by sending me an eMail with your name, Phone# (include your local number as well as your summer number), eMail address, and lastly, your Blue Heron Pines Lot Number.  You may register  as a PLAYER or a SUB.  If you don’t specify, I will assume you are enrolling as a Player, not a SUB.  (There are no limits as a sub as subs are often needed.)   Please submit this data as quickly as you can.  The 1^st 36 responses will be enrolled in the league and will be used to build the teams.  Those received after the 1^st 36 names will be included as subs.  Your 4 officers, Tom Pearson, Larry Roberts, Hank Jensen, and I will be the last 4 positions.  My eMail is tbreay@earthlink.net.     

Thanks guys!  Stay safe and look forward to seeing you.  Tom Breay, (303) 503-8170
