L I V I N G G R A N D EDear Residents,

During these warm summer months when the rest of the country drives and flies

to beach destinations, we’re reminded just how blessed we are to call this place

our home. Our Ocean Club is our little piece of paradise belonging to the

Grande Dunes family.

As usual, there are a lot of great things happening around the Grande Dunes

neighborhood. Our team has been working hard to ensure our home is running

smoothly and growing prosperously. I wanted to share a few great updates that

everyone should know about. First and foremost, the bridge repairs are well

underway with 50% complete. The Anchor Café’s parking lot has been paved and

the Ocean Club bathroom is now complete. Finally, we’re excited to announce

that phase 2 of the Intracoastal Waterway trail has begun! We were thrilled to

see that the trail was well-received and regularly utilized by our locals, and we’re

excited to expand it to better the experience.

This newsletter has a ton of great content for you to enjoy. I recommend

spending a few extra minutes looking at “The Grande Life” section, where you

can see some photos from some recent events happening right here at Grande

Dunes. I love looking at these galleries myself, knowing that our team’s efforts

are making our home all the more fun and exciting for residents and the Myrtle

Beach community as a whole.

August and September continue the summer fun with free movies, concerts and

fantastic events. It’s surreal to think that fall is just around the corner, which will

hold a whole new wave of Grande Dunes fun coming your way. Until then, enjoy

these warm summer days in our spectacular community!

Sincerely,

Margaret LaCalle

Margaret LaCalleDivision President, LStar Ventures Coastal North

The Summer events at Marina Park are off to a great start! We kicked

off our Movies On The Water Summer Series on June 11 with the

showing of Bohemian Rhapsody. More than 200 guests watched the

film along the Intracoastal Waterway while enjoying concessions and

playing lawn games.

Tuesday, June 25 was the first Summer Concert Series on the Lawn

and 5K Race. More than 400 people enjoyed listening to Wonderwall,

A Beatles Tribute Band perform and eat delicious food and treats

provided by local food trucks: Ben & Jerry’s, Benito’s Rolling Oven

and Kurbside Katering. 200 runners participated in the Grande Dunes

Sunset 5K race by N.S. Promotions and Events, which one dollar of

each registered runner was donated to the Family Justice Center from

N.S. Promotions and Events.

For the month of June, Grande Dunes partnered with the Family Justice Center of Horry and Georgetown Counties

(a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides shelter and assistance for the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse) to help raise awareness of their organization and collect donations. Grande Dunes raised $1,146 for the Family Justice Center during various events held at Grande Dunes in June.

We are looking forward to the August and September events at

Marina Park. The August events will conclude the Summer Series

Movie and Concert/5K Events. The Sandlot will be our final featured

film of the summer on Tuesday, August 6. The movie will begin at

sundown and is free and open to the public. The Painted Man Band

will perform during our free concert event on Tuesday, August 20 at

6 pm. If you are interested in registering for the final Grande Dunes

Awesome 80’s 5K race during the concert event, please visit

I cannot believe that we are already halfway through the year

and heading into Labor Day, which is generally the last hurrah of

summer! It’s so true what they say about how time flies when you

are having FUN and that’s exactly what our residents have been

doing…having LOTS OF FUN!

DIVE INTO SUMMER FUNJune and July flew by and with fun memories. The Third Friday

Live Music Events at Palm Island, located at the north side of

the club, have been big hits with great entertainment, awesome

music, good food and drink. We’ve enjoyed lots of dancing, and

the community coming together in harmony. Save the dates for

August 16 for Next Level Showcase Productions and September

20 for a special guest performance from Matt Johnson, one of the

contestants from “The Voice”!

We had 40 residents participate in the Total Wine Outing on June

6. Our next one is on August 29 with a Champagne Tasting and

then out to dinner afterward. There is limited space as this will sell

out early again.

A SPAR-SPANGLED CELEBRATIONWe had our first ever Golf Cart Parade on Independence Day,

and it was a huge success! 18 awesome decorated golf carts

were present to help us celebrate our country’s birthday with the

members of the Car Club both leading and bringing up the rear!

We paraded all through Golf Village and ended at Marina Park for

our local celebrity judges to choose the top 3 golf carts for prize

packages.

Also on Independence Day, we partnered up with Croissants

Bistro & Bakery for their 8th annual cupcake eating contest

which was so much fun to watch! The winner ate 35

cupcakes in 5 minutes! We hope to see this event

become an annual tradition. I want to do a shout out

to all the golf village residents that came outside to

cheer us on as we rolled down their street. We really

appreciated the support, plus it gave us people to

throw our candy out to!

BINGO! Bingo had record attendances in June and July! Our

pot continually grows as we get closer to having a

big winner! We play on the third Wednesday of every

month from 3:30-5:00 pm at the Ocean Club and for

charity. We will announce the nominations for the

charities in September. We truly appreciate our local

businesses for donating prizes plus a special thanks

to our Business Spotlight, Scott Dietrich with Edward

Jones, for joining us and providing gifts for our

winners. Scott also entertained us with his “dad jokes”

in between the games!

A NEW PASTIME IS WAITING FOR YOU! Creative Card Making was sold out in June and July’s

class was making Jewelry with Metal Stamping. On

August 28 we will be making “floating frame greeting

cards” that are absolutely gorgeous! Starting in

September we will be going back to our Health and

Wellness Workshops on the fourth Wednesday of

every month. We always have an interesting topic and

speaker who is an expert in their field. Our September

workshop is called “Body & Brain Resiliency," which

will help us learn how to cope with the everyday

stresses of life led by Melinda Grafton, founder of 3D

RENEW. Her motto is Live Life Full as she

teaches her clients how to cultivate a road

map that empowers them to live life to the

fullest with energy, focus and passion. You

will leave her workshop with a new feeling of

empowerment!

We have had a very dedicated group of

ladies who get together every Monday in the

boardroom from 10:00 am-1:00 pm to paint

with watercolors. You should see what these

ladies have been making! Plus, it’s a great

time to relax, get your creative juices flowing

and make wonderful new friendships! Cindra

Marshall is our instructor who is not only a

great instructor but has a beautiful and sweet

spirit. If you are curious about this wonderful

art, come join our new beginner’s class on

September 30 from 2:00-5:00 pm to see what

you think. You don’t even need to buy any

supplies, just come with a willingness to learn

something new and see what happens! Email

me at [email protected] for

more information.

This month we spoke with Robert & Diane Verona and got to know more about their lives and why they love Grande Dunes!

MeetRobert & Diane Verona

WHERE ARE YOU ORIGINALLY FROM AND WHAT SCHOOLS DID YOU ATTEND?

Robert: Originally from the Bronx, New York (Born in Harlem)

Diane: New York, went to Westchester Community College

HOW DID YOU TWO MEET AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER OR MARRIED?

We met at a disco in New Rochelle called Peachtrees. We’ve been

together close to 40 years and married for 37 years.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS SUCH AS CHILDREN, PETS, GRANDKIDS, ETC.?

We have a daughter Michelle and a son Dan who is getting

married in August to our future daughter-in-law, Sarah. We have

a cat, Crystal and Robert had a 55-gallon aquarium before we

moved for over 20 years and we plan on getting another one after

we unpack.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING OR IF YOU ARE RETIRED, WHAT DID YOU BOTH DO IN YOUR PREVIOUS LIFE?

Robert: I am the Tax Director for Volvo Cars USA. I also have my

own tax practice in addition to my job where I have clients going

back 3 generations. I still have my tax office in the Bronx & work

from my home office.

Diane: I am happily retired, but I used to work for our tax business

and part-time at an elementary school.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PASTIMES AND HOBBIES INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A COUPLE?

As a couple, we love fishing, boating and bowling. Robert likes to

go bike riding, watch football and enjoy the beach at the Ocean

Club. Diane loves painting, crafts and lounging in the pool.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO MYRTLE BEACH AND HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU LIVED HERE?

It started as an investment

opportunity to buy and sell land in

a growing market. Until… we saw

Golf Village & the lot at the Grande

Dunes. Then it became our future

place to live when we “retire.” When

Robert had an opportunity to work in SC, we relocated and began

building our new dream home in Grande Dunes. So we’ve lived

here for 1 and a half years and have loved it due to the warm

weather and the reasonable cost of living.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN GRANDE DUNES AND IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?

When we drive through Grande Dunes, it is like you are in another

world. We never get tired of looking at all the beautiful homes and

landscaping. Neighbors are fantastic and we love the Ocean Club.

It’s perfect for us since Diane loves to relax in the pool and Robert

loves the beach, and we can do both at the Ocean Club.

WHAT WOULD YOU TELL FAMILY AND FRIENDS BACK HOME ABOUT THE OVERALL “LIFESTYLE” IN GRANDE DUNES AND WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE YOU INVOLVED IN?

It’s absolutely beautiful and very relaxed atmosphere. There are

lots of activities to do and opportunities to meet your neighbors.

Robert is the ambassador for the Grande Dunes Boating & Fishing

Club and we have a Grouper/Red Snapper trip scheduled for

later this month. We just had a great Mahi Mahi fishing trip. Since

we were extremely busy building our house, we could not get

more involved in other activities just yet. Now that we have finally

moved in, we plan to get involved in more activities.

NEW FLAVORS AND EXPERIENCES AT THE MEMBERS CLUB

Summer is here, the weather is warm, the pool is open and our course is looking fantastic. I hope

you are enjoying the activities and atmosphere at the Members Club, the Ocean Club, the Anchor

Café and the Marina during these summer months.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new chef, Michael Monahan. Born in Boston,

Massachusetts, he moved around the east coast before starting his cooking

career in Raleigh, NC. Michael trained under Chef Daniel Schur at Second

Empire before deciding to utilize his training in the French technique as

executive chef with McConnell Golf. Before moving back to Raleigh in 2019,

Chef Monahan worked in the kitchens of the Cardinal Golf and Country

Club, Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, and most recently at Old

North State Club in New London, NC.

Michael is knowledgeable and ready to create vibrant culinary experiences

for you. We want to focus on bringing members together in the spirit of

community, with good meals, as well as relaxed and fun events. Michael

brings to our clubhouse an intuitive service culture to bring about an atmosphere where everyone

feels comfortable and appreciated. Join us and make plans to dine with us soon and often.

With the addition of Michael, we’re looking forward to an enjoyable end to the summer season and

looking ahead to a successful fall season at the club. With new membership opportunities like our

Part-Time Golf and Single Golf membership, there is a membership perfectly suited for everyone!

Therefore, we encourage our members to bring their friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to

your Club and show them what Members Club has to offer. We know our members will share their

membership experience, which is indeed a delightful Myrtle Beach secret to share with family and

friends. This support of the club by our current members will continue to help us grow! Even if you

don’t know a member but would like to learn more, we encourage you to reach out, finding a time to

visit the club and experience everything we have to offer! See you soon!

YOUR SUMMERBOATING CHECKLIST

FROM THE MARINA TEAMWelcome to Summertime at the Marina at Grande Dunes! With

hot weather finally here, it’s time to start prepping your boat.

Here are a few items to remember this season before you start

cruising down the Intracoastal.

• Registration: Ensure your boat’s registration is up to date.

• Insurance: Make sure your policy is in effect through the

boating season.

• Safety Equipment: Check all onboard safety equipment,

including life jackets.

• Plug: Make sure you remember the location of your boat’s

drain plug.

• Mechanics: Check all mechanical parts for any cracked

belts, hoses or worn-out equipment.

• Electrical System: Turn on and test everything before

your voyage.

• Engine: Make sure it runs. (This one is important!).

• Ropes: Check your tow ropes and anchor ropes to see if

they have become too brittle to handle.

• Hull: Give your hull a thorough inspection. Check for

scratches or gouges that you can buff out.

These are just a few items to keep in mind before heading out

on your voyage. Remember to stay safe and HAVE FUN! The

Marina Staff is always ready to assist with all your boating

needs. See you at the docks soon!

“Bringing the community together to benefit all who live and work in Myrtle Beach by finding creative opportunities to give back to all.”

Doris Sauer, Andi Crews, Yvonne Mitchell, Peggy Davis

June’s Charity of the Month was the Family Justice Center, a

nonprofit organization who is raising money to build a shelter here

in Horry County. The closest shelter is currently in Georgetown,

SC. Their mission is to provide safe haven, reduce the injuries and

deaths as they work with local agencies to provide comprehensive

coordinated services to victims of domestic violence and

educational programs for our community.

Between the various events we’ve had in June, we were able

to raise a total of $1,146 for our charity to continue working on

reaching their goals. We were also able to collect many bed

sheets, towels and cleaning supplies due to our generous and

thoughtful residents! Thank you so much!

July was Backpack Buddies and Help4Kids as we had the

donation boxes sitting in the foyers of both clubs, Ocean and

Members, as well as in the pool tunnel. We raised money at all the

various events throughout the month of July and will announce

the results in the next newsletter.

Moving into September, our focus will be on New Directions.

They operate four shelters along the Grand Strand to assist men,

women and families with emergency, non-emergency, long-

term, and transitional housing. New Directions exceeds the basic

provisions of food and shelter by providing recovery classes, job

readiness classes, permanent housing assistance and long-term

case management.

On the third Friday of September, you can attend the free Live

Music Event at Palm Island, located at the north side of the Ocean

Club, from 6:00-8:30 pm. Our entertainment will be Matt Johnson

from 15th Season of “The Voice”! Matt is a very talented vocalist,

musician and songwriter. We will be doing a 50/50 raffle to help

raise money for New Directions. Then on Saturday, Sept 21 the

Long Bay Symphony will be in Marina Park with the Oyster Roast

and Lowcountry boil event, also benefiting New Directions! This is

a ticketed event from 5:00-7:00 pm.

In October, our focus will be on Susan G Komen and breast cancer

awareness month with our annual Ghost on the Coast family event

in Marina Park from 3:00-7:00 pm. You can follow all the events on

GrandeDunes.com.

It takes people coming together with one common goal to make a

difference. That’s why the Grande Dunes Cares initiative is catching

on. To learn more and how you can get involved and volunteer,

Next, we sat down with Scott Dietrich, our local Edward Jones Financial Advisor, and got to know his background,

experience with Myrtle Beach and his professional expertise. Scott also recently provided gifts for our recent Bingo games

and helped us make a fantastic afternoon for our residents.

Growing up in upstate New York, I had no idea that my life path would have me settled down in Myrtle Beach where I would

grow to a family of four children and marry my beautiful, high school sweetheart. In 2010, my family and I took a leap of faith

moving to Myrtle Beach upon my exit from the United States Marine Corps after five years of service. That transition from a

guaranteed paycheck twice a month into our household was a stressful, but meaningful time in our life. From there, I used

my GI Bill and went to school while working full-time to help pursue our dreams in Myrtle Beach. Within three years I had my

degree and a path set to Edward Jones in the later

half of 2013.

My first experience with Edward Jones, and what initially drew me to a career here, was the culture and environment they

created for their clients and their employees. The amount of personalized care and attention

that is given to each client is unsurpassed in this industry. I have extensively researched some

of the largest banks and brokerage houses in the world, as well as independent investment

firms. Through this, I know I am in the right place, and Edward Jones has given me all the

tools and support to make a real difference in the lives of my clients.

It did not take long for me to realize that the Myrtle Beach area was inundated with plenty

of investment products with the mentality that one-size-fits-all. That is why I take the time to

understand what is most important to my clients. I want to know what hesitations you may

have, and I want to make the process simple and easy to understand, so that you can have a

great client experience.

There are three things I strive to provide my clients

throughout our time working together:

• A clear explanation of the investments I

recommend.

• Timely updates on market conditions and volatility.

• Transparent explanation of costs.

I welcome the opportunity to learn about you

and your financial priorities. It all starts with a

conversation – let’s visit.

COME EXPLORE DEL WEBBIntrigued? If you’re a prospective homebuyer, you can immerse yourself in our

lifestyle through the Explore Del Webb program. Explore Del Webb guests can

stay in one of our select furnished homes for three nights, access any of our

amenities—including golf carts—and participate in any activities planned during

that time. Discover what it’s really like to live in our Del Webb community.

Living the Del Webb LifeDel Webb Villa models are now open! Our newest series of

homes are officially open for sales, and we are so excited

with the interest in these new plans. Our offering provides a

villa style home with slightly smaller square footages from

the high $200s. Full access to all Del Webb amenities is

included with this series, as well as the Grande Dunes Ocean

Club with Resort Pool. The new center is also available for

our Del Webb prospective buyers that take advantage of our

Explore Del Webb program.

Explore Del Webb guests can stay in one of our completely

way to see what it’s really like to live in our

Del Webb community.

Activities at the new amenity center continue to be busy

and new clubs are forming all the time, such as the Webb

Cares group. Webb Cares is a community outreach and

volunteer initiative that meets once a month. A few of the

initial objectives have included a volunteer ride share to the

airport or appointments, making meals for someone who just

had surgery or is sick and supporting a local charity each

month by collecting monetary donations and items from the

charity’s wish list. This month the group is volunteering at a

local soup kitchen. Webb Cares is just one example of the

many clubs and groups created by and run by our

Del Webb owners.

Without question, technology has had a profound effect on the

real estate industry. From the simple tasks to the most elaborate

AI systems on the horizon, the industry has embraced new

technology to work more fluidly with homebuyers and sellers.

For the consumer-side of real estate, one of the best little

pieces of technology has been the ability to set up property

notifications.

HOW TO NAVIGATE THE REAL ESTATE SIDE OF THE WEB

When a buyer today is searching for a property, they can log on

to just about any real estate related website and plug in their

criteria for their dream property and hit save. Once the saved

search is set up all there is to do is open email to receive a steady

stream of notifications, new homes on the market and a variety

of updates or changes. However, with a long list of websites that

show available homes and data, it’s hard to know which ones are

the most reliable. Some websites may not have the most recent

information, or not have a complete database altogether.

THE BEST ONLINE SOLUTION

If you are very active in your search and want to know before

anyone else, then having a Realtor set up the search for you

directly from the MLS is the answer. Most of these websites

are simply aggregators of the MLS data anyway, any by being

connected to the main feed you’ll receive the information on

HOW DO REAL ESTATE BUYERS FIND MY PROPERTY?

EXPERT INSIGHTS FOR NAVIGATING THE MARKET

Page 31: GRANDE DUNES LIFESTYLE, UPDATES & EVENTS LIVING GRANDE › wp-content › uploads › 2019 › 08 › ... · off our Movies On The Water Summer Series on June 11 with the showing

listings between 30 minutes and 24 hours ahead of doing so on general consumer

websites like Zillow.com or Realtor.com. If you’re just curious or want to keep up

with what is happening in your neighborhood, then speed isn’t important, just use

one of the consumer sites.

THE IMPACT ON HOMEOWNERS WANTING TO SELL

All of the websites, whether consumer-facing or industry-facing, feed from the

Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Once a new listing is entered into the MLS, it

triggers all of the property notifications that have been set up that match the

criteria entered about the property. Usually within hours of a listing coming on the

market hundreds or even thousands of potential buyers can have your property

listing delivered to their inbox or even to their phones by text. This change in

technology has caused a shift in how property is often sold and how experienced

Realtors manage your listing. It is also why you’ll often see a surge of showing

requests happen in those first two weeks of listing, then often things settle back

down afterward to a slower pace or even zero showings. Buyers receive their

notices, set appointments and have come by to consider their next steps. This

little surge is also one of the main reasons it is so important to price your property

correctly at the beginning of your listing. Consult with a Realtor of your choice for

more information on how to best expose your property to the widest number of

buyers possible or contact any of the Realtors at our on-site office.

A SEASON OF FUN

There’s nowhere better to spend summer

than Grande Dunes. Our residents have had a

fantastic season so far, filled with free events

and member-exclusive activities.

June and July were loaded with many events

at the Marina Park including movies, concerts

and 5K races. All of these events benefitted

several nonprofits that benefit the local

Myrtle Beach area.

The rest of the summer is just as eventful,

as will be the cool days of fall. From more

movies and concerts to the famous Oyster

Roast featuring the Long Bay Symphony,

we’re here to make sure our residents are

having a blast while we contribute to a

good cause.

We hope to see you at all the fun events

coming up.

COMMUNITY NEWSHomeowners' Association Updates from Waccamaw Management

SECURITY UPDATES

Concierge Service: Recently, it has been brought to management’s attention that often people will give something to the officers at the main guard station to give to someone else. Some items will include prescriptions, letters, money, packages, etc. Unfortunately, moving forward, security will no longer be allowed to provide this type of service to residents. Security’s main function at the guard station is for access control only.

Paper passes for guests and vendors over the bridge: For quite some time now, paper passes have been issued to anyone and everyone going over the bridge. The passes are costly, and the guard station uses a full roll of the thermal paper in just one day, generating a large expense. From now on, if a vendor or guest is only going to be on property for one day or a couple of hours, they will no longer be provided a paper pass. The guard will simply check their credentials and confirm they are expected by a resident or playing golf and open the gate. If a resident expects to have guests for more than a 24-hour period, a paper pass will be provided. This decision will not only be a cost-saver, but it will help the service provided at the gate be a smoother process.

BOARD TIPS

Being a board member for an association is a great honor for the individual serving their community. As volunteers, the Board of Directors make decisions for its communities on behalf of their members and could use a bit of help sometimes. Here are the final tips for the boards provided by The Community Association Institute (CAI):

Read the annual budgetAll too often, candidates for the board campaign on a platform that “assessments are too high” without ever bothering to read the budget. It is

unfair to pursue this uninformed and preconceived notion. We urge you to inspect the budget and see where the association’s money goes before you pass judgment on the current board.

Read the most recent reserve studyIs the association financially solvent? If the board has been reluctant to raise assessments in several years, and repairs aren’t being made in the community, the board may have suspended reserve account deposits. An association with inadequate reserves may be effectively insolvent if the association does not have funds for major common area component repairs or refurbishment.

Read the agenda packetCome to the meeting prepared, having already read the agenda. You should be provided the packet in advance to help you be ready to make decisions. Reading it for the first time at the meeting disrespects your board colleagues and contributes to avoidable lengthening of the meeting.

Stay on TopicA single director can derail discussions by moving on to a different topic before the current one is concluded. Remind your colleagues when deliberations stray from the matter at hand.

Talk to the board, not the audience Directors attend the meeting to deliberate with board colleagues, not the audience. Grandstanding by speaking to the audience disrespects board colleagues and encourages raucous meetings.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kings Highway was an Indian trail long before European settlers arrived in the New World! As the colonies grew, that Indian trail became the main route between northern states and southern cities. At one time, giant sand dunes came all the way up to where present-day Kings Highway passes.
