Kitti’s Corner

By Kitti Kleinedler We have probably all met that someone in life who just goes above and beyond in whatever he does. Well here at Cresswind we have another person we can add to that list, Joe Carr aka Cabana Boy. Joe has been at Cresswind since 2015 when he and two of his sons cleaned the clubhouse in the wee hours of the night for then manager, Diane Sexton. Paula King hired him for his first set up/clean up gig through his family run cleaning company, Evergreen in 2016. Since then he has been a regular fixture around Cresswind working approximately 70 events a year. But that is not all Joe does. He has been hired for odd jobs around the clubhouse such as painting the arbor and swings and reattaching stone to the back of the building. But most of you probably got to know Joe this summer when he selflessly assumed the role of Cabana Boy at the outdoor pool. He transitioned from the dreaded pool monitor to the guy everyone wanted to see practically overnight. His bubbly personality and antics poolside added a definite bright spot to this COVID summer. Of course, the frosty drinks and wide variety of snacks he provided only endeared him more to pool goers. What you may not know is that after the pool closed at 8 PM, Joe spent the next 4 -5 hours cleaning the clubhouse working for Evergreen, our cleaning contractor. Why does he do it? Joe loves people. And he especially loves Cresswinders. One only has to talk to him for a few minutes to recognize his heart for people. And Joe, Cresswind has a “heart” for you. Thank you for all that you do.
