JUL/AUG 2023 ESPLANADE LIFESTYLE 3 Ashley

Amanda Marie Rojas YOUR WELLNESS CONCIERGE

What are you most thankful for?

I am most thankful for my friends and my family because I know they will always be there for me. They are special to me in their own ways, and I could not imagine life without any of them.

Who is your hero?

My hero is my little brother Leo. Although only nine, he has been through multiple heart surgeries and various operations, but he still faces life head on. He has his moments, but I love him dearly. He is one of my best friends and we love to go on our brother-sister dates.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

My proudest accomplishment is making it to college. I am the first one in my family to do so and I am excited to continue my educational career.

What do you enjoy most about Esplanade at Artisan Lakes?

The Members are what I enjoy most about working here. The community is tight knit despite how large it is. I love being able to see everyone’s happy faces every time they enter the Resort Amenity Center. I am especially grateful for those Members that always make my day, as well as my amazing team. Without them, this would not be possible.

Where were you born?

I was born on December 16 over the bridge in Bradenton, but I was raised in the Palmetto area all my life. I graduated from Palmetto High School in 2022, and I am currently attending State College of Florida to study early childhood education.

What are your hobbies?

I love to read, thrift, go to the beach and hang out with my friends. My dream is to own enough books to have my own home library and thrifting allows me to find unique pieces that let me express myself. I love my friends. We always get together when we can, we shop, throw little parties, and just enjoy each other’s company. Most of all, I love the beach. Although I cannot swim, I love to be in the water. I love to sit on the shore and enjoy the sun and relax.

CONCIERGE

Steven & Shari Bruns

The Members of our community are truly what make this a wonderful place to live. In each edition, we will spotlight a Member, couple or family to showcase the amazing people that call our community home. If you would like to be featured or want to nominate another Member, please contact your Lifestyle Manager.

Tell us about your family and current or past professions. We are both retired. Steve worked as a chief boiler/water treatment operator at Ford Motor and Macalester College for almost 40 years. During this time, he had two children from a previous marriage. Shari has had many careers, traveling to three states doing window displays, managed a major department store visual presentation department, and worked doing store and fixture design. During this time she helped open numerous stores in Mall of America. She ran her own art business, teaching painting classes in eight different community education programs, along with running her own art studio. Finally, before retiring Shari managed a fitness center. What career she values the most was being an advocate for her two special needs kids she adopted in her previous marriage, along with being a caregiver for her parents and having them move in with her and Steve. All our children are grown now, and we have five beautiful grandchildren.

What is the best advice you have ever received or given?

Why did you choose Esplanade at Artisan Lakes and how long have you lived here?

QWe were Minnesota snowbirds after retiring, visiting warm climates but preferred Florida. We spent time all over Florida, from Orlando to Naples to Daytona to Miami, the Keys and finally Bradenton/Sarasota. After meeting a couple from Largo on a cruise, we began to search more seriously around this area. Esplanade fit us like a glove. Steve fell in love with the amenities, Shari loved the location. We began building in March of 2021 and moved here permanently at the beginning of December.

AWhat Lifestyle programs are you most interested in? Are you in a club, attend any classes or have hobbies?

Since settling in here it seems every month, we join another Lifestyle activity. So far, we have participated in LRC, bingo, Tai Chi, Boombsey, wine tastings, Oenophile Club, cooking classes, dance class, craft classes, Coffee & Conversation, Neighborhood News, bocce, various exercise classes and of course we attend as many of the social events and Signature Events that we can. Along with socializing with all our new friends, Steve loves to spend time in the kitchen mastering new recipes. Shari is a great sous chef for Steve. Shari loves to work with her hands doing projects, home improvements, woodworking and art projects. Steve is good at giving advice on Shari’s projects.

The best advice is simple, do unto others … don’t judge a book by its cover, don’t worry what the rest of the world thinks about you, and most important just try to be nice.

Where is the most exciting place you’ve traveled to?

We have traveled a lot throughout the U.S., but our favorite adventure was a motorcycle trip from Minnesota to Gatlinburg, TN. Once there, we crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains and rode the Tail of the Dragon, 318 turns in 11 miles. Steve ended up on TV on Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy. Larry tried to run him off the road by flashing him. It was so funny. Moving here we gave up our motorcycles for bigger and better adventures. We love to cruise and have done a lot out of Florida ports, but are looking forward to our biggest adventure this fall - the Amazon (and we don’t mean the local delivery warehouse). We will be going to South America and the Amazon Rainforest on a 24-day cruise out of Miami. We are so excited for this new adventure.

Tell us something that might surprise people.

We had an extremely large wedding reception - over 400,000 people were there. We didn’t have to pay for food or alcohol either. We were married in Sturgis, SD during Bike Week in 2011. Then we spent our honeymoon riding the Black Hills.

12 ESPLANADE LIFESTYLE JUL/AUG 2023 GET INVOLVED

60-Second Social-Circle Challenge

Looking to expand your social circle? At Esplanade, we believe in fostering a community that supports Members building lifelong friendships. New Members are moving into our beautiful community every day! New homeowners are looking for meaningful community connections, specifically with their neighbors and those with like-minded interests. Try our 60-second Social-Circle Challenge and see if you make a connection!

FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU OVERCOME SOCIAL STRESSORS

1. Understand that everyone has some level of uncomfortably with change and meeting new people – you are not alone!

2. Great conversations and long terms connections take time, practice makes perfect.

3. Looking to join one of the many Social Clubs at Esplanade, kick-start your wellness journey by trying one of our many fitness classes, or learn what all the Pickleball buzz is about. This is great place to meet like-minded Members and test your 60-second challenge.

4. If you find 60 seconds too challenging, try 30 seconds – over time and with practice, this will become more natural.

5. Part of the joy of talking to strangers is that you have no idea who you’re going to meet or what conversation you’re going to have. Embrace the spontaneity!

Celebrating Your Resort Lifestyle

Beginning in April, the Esplanade Resort Experiences team hosted a series of Debut Celebrations across multiple Esplanade communities, giving over 1,700 Members the opportunity to meet with the team of highly talented leaders dedicated to elevating how they live and connect within the community they call home.

Both informative and fun, Members browsed interactive experience stations demonstrating the array of concierge-level services and Lifestyle programming being introduced as a part of the Resort Lifestyle at Esplanade.

Those who attended got a sneak peek at some of the upcoming national programs being developed by the Esplanade Resort Experiences leadership team.

The spirited “Salute” station was hosted by your National Manager of Food, Beverage & Culinary Experience, Patrick Scully along with other culinary leaders supporting the Resort Lifestyle. Members got a taste of what’s to come in the world of culinary, including a new SIP Wine program.

National Director, Liz Thompson and CJ Hamlin, National Manager of Lifestyle & Concierge showed Members how they can embrace their inner explorer and uncover what’s to come for travel opportunities with the recently launched luxury travel program, Destinations by Esplanade. Members also explored a wide range of concierge services through Esplanade Concierge, further elevating the signature Esplanade Lifestyle.

Crystal Steere, National Manager of Spa, Fitness & Wellness showcased how to discover your zen with uniquely curated wellness offerings, with samples of the Esplanade private label bath & body care collection, The Spa Retreat. If you are interested in creating your own wellness oasis in your home, be sure to visit ShopEsplanade.com to browse the latest bath and body care products as well as other Resort Lifestyle items!

As the event continued, Members mingled and danced to live entertainment, sampled delicious food and beverage and enjoyed a raffle drawing with prizes, facilitated by Nathan Stith, National Community Management Director

Cammie Longenecker, President of Resort Lifestyle Brand shares, “I am so immensely proud of our team, and what they are helping to bring to life within our Esplanade communities. It was truly special to connect with Members in person, and have the opportunity to be present within the communities we are so passionate about supporting. When we introduced Esplanade Resort Experiences in 2022, we said there would be so much to come in the world of Resort Lifestyle over the following months, and we meant it! We hope you are excited about even more national programs officially launching throughout the year.”

Esplanade Resort Experiences will continue to focus on curating specialized offerings and services, bringing Members all the benefits and luxuries of Resort living right from the comfort of home. With a luxury Lifestyle like no other, every day is a vacation, and you never need to pack!
