Letter From the Lifestyle Team
NICOLE TAYLOR YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Happy Holidays!
Your Lifestyle team is excited to share with you the latest edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Inside each publication, you will receive updates on the Resort Management team, community happenings, as well as events and activities that are coming up.
It’s hard to believe we’re already gearing up for the holidays… but this time of year brings cooler weather and lots of exciting events and activities! In addition to the Lifestyle Magazine, please make sure to check out the rest of our November and December events calendars and log into your Jonas Clubhouse Online app to register for anything you are interested in attending at skyeranchlifestyle. clubhouseonline-e3.club. We also have hard copies of our Skye Kids and Lifestyle events calendars at the Hub reception desk!
A big shout out to our defending Bragging Cup Champion –Justin Wegrzyn! Each summer, we partner with Misty Creek Gold & Country Club for a Summer Golf Series. The winner gets their name engraved on the Bragging Cup Trophy, which is displayed in the Gathering Room of the Hub! Come
down and check it out (and start practicing for next year’s tournament)!
With Veterans Day approaching, we’d also like to spotlight our Military Members of Skye Ranch. Our freedom is protected by the men and women in the Armed Forces. On behalf of your Resort Management team, we thank you for your service and sacrifice!
As you start planning your social calendar for the next few months, please be sure to log onto the Jonas Clubhouse Online App 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 your Lifestyle team 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!

YOUR ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Furry Friends
Meet Lucy LOVED BY MONTE & CINDY HINCHMAN
Lucy is a seven-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who’s new in the neighborhood. She used to be in Atlanta until her owner passed away. Lucy was sad, but now she’s happy since the Hinchmans rescued her and gave her a forever home. Lucy loves to walk through Skye Ranch, play at the dog park and meet new neighbors and friends. She sometimes barks a bunch when she gets excited, but Lucy is a super sweet, friendly and a good girl. If you see her around, stop and say hello!
WANT TO FEATURE YOUR PET?
Contact your Lifestyle Manager to be featured in the next edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Answer a few questions about your furry, feathery, or scaly friend and share a couple pictures.
We are pleased to introduce James Ingram, our new Assistant Lifestyle Manager! James was born and raised in Kansas City, MO, and is a big Chiefs fan. He loves kids’ programs and has designed and implemented them for Disney Cruise Line, Walt Disney World Resort, Margaritaville, and Carnival Cruise Line. In his free time, he loves cruising with his wife, Kayla, whom he met working onboard the Disney Cruise Line. They have two fur babies, Cinderella and Simba, who are his world. James is excited about joining Skye Ranch and bringing his passion and pixie dust to the kids and families in the community. Keep an eye out for an opportunity to meet James and get excited about this new beginning for Skye Kids!

Getting kids outside has never been more important. That’s why we’ve teamed up with L.L.Bean to provide kids and families with safe, fun, and easy activities to do outdoors. Each week we will provide new activities for connecting kids to nature—from creating a nature notebook to becoming a wildlife detective, and getting creative with leaves, nature’s opportunities are endless.
