Dear Members,

As we make our way into Spring we would like to thank all of our members for their support of Tarpon Cove We have had a very busy past few months with numerous lively social events such as Casino Night, Night of Magic, 70's Flashback party, Murder Mystery, Dance classes, Trivia and a variety of themed buffets

The renovation of the sidewalk and retaining wall by the tennis courts will be completed soon In the coming months you will notice new furnishings around your club including new furniture We are awaiting the start of the marina reconstruction and will keep you informed as to the progress

Be sure to join us for the End of Season party on Saturday April 14th with the Girls of Motown This is one of the biggest parties of the year and we hope to see you there!

Also, a quick reminder that starting this month, if you choose to pay by credit card for your statement or any transactions at the Club, a 3% convenience fee applies The Club does not collect this fee - it is paid directly to our thirdparty credit card processor

MEMBERSHIP MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

Brett Mance

WELCOME, NEW MEMBERS!

You may be seeing some new faces around the club and we ask that you welcome our newest members to the Tarpon Cove family. Interest in membership has been very strong and I appreciate everyone that has made our prospective members feel at home when conducting tours of your beautiful club.

We have started an Ambassador Committee to assist and integrate our new members to ensure everyone feels welcomed. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves at our 70's Flashback party and seeing the talent of our Gloria Gaynor lip synch contestants! Be sure to check our Facebook page for all of the latest posts of the lively social events taking place

If you know of anyone that may be interested in membership please let me know and I will ensure they have all the information they need about Tarpon Cove

Looking forward to seeing you around

TENNIS UPDATE

Myke Loomis Landauer

With what seems like a blink of an eye we are in April already! League season began in January and ended in late March Congratulations to all our winter league teams! The women ’ s 3.0 70+ Bonita League Team, captained by Alice Anderson, made it to the final four play offs You and your team represented Tarpon Cove well! We’ll post a team picture in the next issue!

As many of you know it’s been a loud and sometimes disruptive process as we work toward our end goal at the tennis center If you remember this time last year, we were dealing with dangerously dry court conditions That is now a distant memory, and we are very grateful for that We have drainage pipes buried under the new sidewalk, retaining walls in place behind each court, and new pavers ready to be laid for the sidewalk area Posts are in on each pad and we expect canopies next week (fingers crossed), which means ice/water machines very soon!

We are trying our best to keep disruptions to a minimum but at the same time, we must continue working in order to get the work done We so appreciate everyone ’ s patience and understanding. I promise the finished product will be worth the wait!

A reminder that since league play is over for the season, court time might become a little busier throughout April Please make sure you add at least 3 parameters in time for your requested reservations and even consider an afternoon time every now and then!

Happy Hitting and See you at the courts!

4 EASY-TO-LEARN EXERCISES

Exercise makes you stronger, increases your energy and helps improve balance which can prevent falls It can also help with depression and prevent or delay serious medical issues like diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease And the good news: Even a little bit can make a big difference Start low and go slow Once you start to feel better, doing more will be as easy as it is fun

Begin any exercise routine with five minutes of stretching or walking slowly to warm up End your sessions the same way, with a five-minute cool-down

1 Water aerobics

If you have access to a pool, water aerobics offer plenty of beneficial exercises for seniors especially if you have arthritis or other joint pain

The buoyancy of the water puts less stress on your joints and offers natural resistance to help build strength with minimal stress on the body

Try aqua jogging next time you ’ re in a pool You may never switch back to land!

2 Chair yoga

Not ready for yoga on a floor mat? No problem Many traditional poses have been adapted for sitting in a chair In fact, it’s become one of the most popular forms of exercise for seniors No matter how you approach it, yoga improves muscle strength, balance and flexibility It can also help with anxiety and depression and leave you with a sense of calmness and well-being

3 Working out with resistance bands

Resistance bands are elastic strips of rubber Some are easy to stretch, and others are tougher, so you can choose the level that’s right for you Give them a good steady pull and they’ll give your workout resistance without putting too much strain on your joints and muscles They’re less expensive than most fitness equipment, so there’s less strain on your wallet, too.

4. Strength training with dumbbells

Light dumbbells are great accessories for senior exercise routines. Strength training helps you manage your weight because it leads to a higher metabolism rate. And dumbbells make it easy to do right in the comfort of your own home. You’ll not only burn calories faster, but you’ll improve your balance and flexibility, too.
