DEBBIE PICKETT AWARD
GOES TO JOHN LIPKOWITZ GOES TO JOHN LIPKOWITZ
Greetings!
As we reach the end of 2024, the entire POA staff wishes you and yours the very best this holiday season. Like you, we are preparing for our family festivities and reflecting on the year. And what a year it was!
We played, traveled, shopped, dined, and welcomed precious campers. We even opened a Bistro. We also volunteered and gave back to charitable organizations and those impacted by Hurricane Helene.
We completed a golf course renovation and started the Clubhouse. All to celebrate this special place in fellowship with those who live and work here. Please use the link below to bid a fond farewell to 2024. You never know, but we may have captured you and yours while Big Canoe Living!
We look forward to a new year of partnering with our fantastic clubs, organizations, and volunteers to do it all again. For previews and volunteer opportunities, please watch for our next edition of Big Canoe Living on January 10, 2025.
Cheers, Your Senior Staff
