Courtyards at Southpoint
Festive Season Brings Neighborhood Together
Thanks to all the neighbors who provided photos of the annual clubhouse decorating and the rescheduled luminary night. The close of 2025 was filled with light, laughter and celebration.
Neighbors Mark Veterans Day
Thanks to Lt. (Ret., USN) John Robinson, who organized and led a Veterans Day celebration at the clubhouse on 11 November. The program included a short video explaining the origins of Veterans Day (originally Armistice Day) followed by the recognition of veterans in attendance. Several people brought photos, memorabilia, and stories to share, and other attendees spoke about their family members who had served our country. Finally, we all enjoyed pizza and home-baked goodies (thanks, Sheryl!). We appreciate all who served! Click on photos to see full image.

The event helped men from both phases of the development get to know each other. And it provided an opportunity for them to learn how they can participate in the life of our neighborhood.
