NICOLE TAYLOR

YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER

Spring is in full swing!

Your Lifestyle team is excited to share with you the latest edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Inside each month’s publication, you will receive updates on the Resort Management Team, community happenings, as well as events and activities that are coming up!

Summer is approaching and your Fitness & Athletics Manager has multiple sports camps and clinics lined up to keep the kids active and engaged! Amazing Athletes is offering a week-long camp beginning in June, followed by a two-day Lacrosse Camp by Sarasota Seahawks Lacrosse Club. Youth Tennis Clinics will continue weekly on Saturdays, and all skill levels are welcome.

We’ve been homing in on our pickleball skills here at Skye Ranch with our newest instructor, Traci. Keep an eye out for our next Dinking & Serving clinics – they’re quick to fill up!

As you start planning your social calendar for the next few months, please be sure to log onto the community website and register for all events and activities that you’re interested in attending. If you registered for an activity that you are no longer able to attend, simply contact Nicole or Camille to be taken off the registration list. Registrations are important so proper accommodations can be made for our Members. If you have any suggestions or feedback on current or upcoming programs, please reach out to a member of your Lifestyle team!

Furry Friends

Meet Winston

LOVED BY THE CHAU FAMILY

Which humans of Skye Ranch do you belong to?

My mommy and daddy are Maryann and Mason. I also have triplet brothers, Joshua, Andrew, and Matthew.

Tell us about your breed, age and birthday.

I’m a French Bulldog and I was born on September 1, 2020. I am three and a half years old!

What is your favorite pastime?

I love chasing frisbees, swimming, meeting other dogs, barking at the UPS guy, and playing with my stuffed monkey. I also love to sleep and have my own bedroom because dad says I snore way too loudly.

What do you get reprimanded for the most?

I don’t get reprimanded much. My humans call me “good boy” so much that sometimes I think it’s my name!

Tell us about the time your humans welcomed you to their loving home.

It was a bit scary at first being away from my dog family! All the new sights, smells, and humans talking to me in high-pitched voices, but my new human family has spoiled me with love and attention every single day!
