And We’re Off… 2022!

Published by PBPOA on

Dear Members and Friends of the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association,

Although it’s mid-month, Happy 2022!.  May this year find you happy and healthy.  And may the insidious COVID become just another bad memory and soon!

We are excited about our 2022 Kick-Off meeting this Thursday, January 20th at 3:00PM.  Appropriately, we are starting the year with a panel of Pelican Bay Leadership who will discuss the issues that they are managing their way through in this very tough environment of supply chain shortages, labor shortages, COVID and in the case of Pelican Bay and Pickleball, an acceptable and usable land shortage.  You will want to be a part of this event and to get current on what is happening in Pelican Bay and with near by projects that impact our quality of life.  Our panelists are:
 Michael Fogg, President, Pelican Bay Services District
Michael Ruffolo, Director, Pelican Bay Foundation
Buzz Victor, Founder of SaveVanderbiltBeach
Each will make a presentation, and then a question and answer period will follow. 

Please register below. Login information will be sent on Tuesday to participants. (Please disregard if you have already registered.)
Pelican Bay Property Owners Association Zoom Meeting RSVP 
The Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, Inc. (PBPOA) frequently gets confused with the Pelican Bay Foundation.  The Pelican Bay Property Owners Association is separate and distinct from the Pelican Bay Foundation.  We were founded in 1984 to oversee Westinghouse as they began developing Pelican Bay from the south end to the north.  Westinghouse was trying to do some things that we did not view as appropriate or, perhaps,  even harmful to existing and future Pelican Bay property owners.  So concerned early Pelican Bay property owners banded together and formed the PBPOA to monitor what Westinghouse was doing and to stop projects and actions by Westinghouse that were inappropriate for Pelican Bay.  Westinghouse controlled all actions of what is now the Pelican Bay Foundation clear into the 1990’s before it was completely turned over to the homeowner/residents of Pelican Bay.  So you can see that the PBPOA is a much older organization and precedes, as well. the Pelican Bay Services District.

We, the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, have no source of revenue other than the $50 annual voluntary dues.  Perhaps you can see why we encourage every homeowner to join our organization.  We are the conscience and watchdog of Pelican Bay for the benefit its residents and owners. Please renew your membership or join now if you are not currently a member. Our mission is simple:  protect our quality of life and protect our property values.

In closing, please let me make one more observation.  All four of the Pelican Bay Organizations that work holistically on Pelican Bay challenges (not men’s coffee, the bridge groups, etc) are managed by Pelican Bay volunteers who spend hundreds of volunteer hours on our behalf.  Countless hours have been spent by these volunteers on trying to provide Pickleball, improve the restaurants, fight invasive growth (One Naples), new sidewalks, financial management and many more projects and components of running a 13,000 resident community with multi-million dollar budgets. 

Please thank your Foundation and Services District Board members when you see them.  We might not always agree with their actions, but I can assure you, their intentions are pure and they work long and hard on our behalf.

See you on our ZOOM call this Thursday.  Please remember to register and also, please remember to pay your 2022 dues if you have not already done by clicking on one of the links below.
