“Spring: a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.”

Dear Ocean Shores Community Club Members,

​

March always comes in like a lion and the softness of the lamb shows up in the later part of March. The storms become less and the sun shows itself a little more. This awakens us to the beautiful feeling of spring and the anticipation of nature’s visual growth and beauty. Buds are showing, cubs and fawn will shortly be ever present in our neighborhoods and more of us will be out and about enjoying the great weather and amazing surroundings which surround us! Welcome spring!! Growth and change are on the horizon.

​

Club Updates

Live Yoga, both Gentle and Chair, are BACK!! I know our regular attendees are excited for their return. Welcome back Cheryl! Gentle Yoga can be attended on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the gymnasium. Remember to bring your mat! Chair Yoga can be attended on Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the gymnasium.

Evening Water Aerobics will hold its final class on March 12. We wish to thank Monica for sharing her passion and commitment to better health for our evening attendees. Monica also leads our Monday morning Water Aerobics – so you can still catch her class.

Membership Reminders

Lifeguards are now staffing our indoor pool. Recent incidents have demonstrated the added value they bring to our members. Several members have experienced their expertise firsthand. We will be continuing to expand our team. Anyone interested in becoming a lifeguard is encouraged to complete an application. Training will be provided.

The Board of Trustees and I are working on the 2025 budget. More information will be provided in our April issue.

A Step Back in Time

March 1997 Ocean Observer is a joy to read. The issue shares the multitude of activities within the Ocean Shores Community Club as well as happenings around town. While activities have changed some, our drive to engage and build friendships within our current time is ever present. Check out the ‘old times’ and come share in today’s events. Our schedule is online and available at the front desk. Copies of the March 1997 issue are available at the club. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Closing Thought

Members are always encouraged to join the groups led by members. It is a great time to make new memories with old friends and to develop new ones. Come join the fun and enjoy some laughter.  To help paint a picture of what spring can bring here is a quote from Bishop Reginald Herber:

​

​“Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.”

​

Happy Spring and lots of laughter to all,

​

General Manager
