Letter From the Lifestyle Team

HAYLEY SMITH YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER

Enjoy the Summer Sunshine!

Welcome to another beautiful summer here in paradise! We have been staying busy with all sorts of fun social events and there are even more on the horizon. Keep cool in the pool during our Swim Up Movie Night or relax in the A/C while playing bingo with friends. Last month, one lucky bingo player won golf for two at Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch!

On July 4, we will be climbing Mt. Tumalo to watch the local fireworks without leaving the comfort of our own community! We will also continue to enjoy our First Friday events, Court Sport Socials, and Yappy Hour for our furry neighbors. This summer we will beat the heat at The Venue by welcoming a Mote Marine representative to tell us all about sea turtles, as well as a member of the Sarasota Historical Society here to talk about Sarasota’s Leading Ladies! We are also hosting an Astronomy Night atop Mt. Tumalo and a swim up movie night.

If you are looking to give back to the community, join us for the Liberty Litter Clean up on July 5 or at the Backpack Brigade in August!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Sarasota County has been profoundly shaped by the contributions of local women in business, education, philanthropy, and political leadership. In this program, we’ll explore the stories of some of the county’s most inspiring leading ladies, ranging from newspaper editor Rose Phillips Wilson to educators Emma Booker and Eugenie Clark to philanthropists Marie Selby and Mable Ringling, and of course the innovative businesswoman and developer Bertha Palmer. They’ll use photographs, correspondence, and other archival records from the collections of the Sarasota County History Center to help illuminate the lives of these remarkable citizens.

Furry Friends Meet Ralf & Squiggie

LOVED BY THE POWELLS

Ralf is a cat of unknown breed and is now 10 years old. Ralf ends each day with a handful of his favorite Temptations treats (any flavor will do)! Our oldest daughter adopted Ralf as a kitten, but when she moved out, Ralf stayed and has been with us ever since. Every evening around 7 p.m. Ralf looks forward to going to bed. He gets a few treats, goes to his room (laundry room), and we don’t see him until the next morning. We love our big guy; he makes a wonderful addition to our family.

Our sweet girl Squiggie was living on the streets with her brother and was rescued by a wonderful organization. We are not sure what breed of dog she is, but she is 100 percent adorable! We rescued her five years ago and believe she was between 1-2 when we got her. Our girl loves cheese! You cannot open any package of cheese without her running over. Squigg loves her greenies treats as well. This sweet girl was the third pup to enter our home. Unfortunately, she is now the only pup left but she’s a great sister to our cat Ralf. Every day is a great day when Squigg is around. This pup is always happy and constantly makes us smile. That’s how she got her name - she just squiggles when she sees you coming! She’s always up for an adventure and just loves her people.

Workout Warm Up

The summer has warmed up and so should you! Don’t forget one of the most important parts of your workout is the warm-up! Warming up before working out, hiking up Mt. Tumalo, or hitting the courts can reduce your risk of injury. A warm-up should be enough movement to increase your heart rate, which pumps more oxygenated blood to your muscles. This increased flow can reduce rips, tears, and harmful twisting of muscles and joints during activity.

A great way to get your body moving this summer is walking! Walking every day for just 30 minutes has a lot of benefits, such as:

» Increases cardiovascular fitness

» Strengthens bones

» Reduces body fat

» Boosts muscle power and endurance

» Stress relief

» Prevents heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, osteoporosis, and a variety of cancers

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.
