Happy New Year!
A brand-new year is here, and January and February are filled with exciting opportunities to learn, connect, and start 2026 with inspiration and fun!
Kick off the season by setting your intentions at our Vision Board Making Workshop, then join us for a variety of Educational Seminars covering everything from Safety & Alligators to Health and Wellness. Enjoy friendly competition and great company at Bingo and Boards & Bites. Don’t miss the high-energy entertainment of our Dueling Pianos evening. We’re also thrilled to welcome the Journey 360 Travel Roadshow to the community for an immersive, can’tmiss experience!

From personal growth to pure entertainment, the start of the year has something for everyone at Esplanade Lake Club. Come learn, laugh, and make new memories with your neighbors and friends!
Our Members continue to give generously to those in need. This past fall, we collected an abundance of non-perishables for Eva’s Closet, and your kindness made a real impact. Thank you for supporting our community!
One of the best things about Esplanade Lake Club is that there are so many Members with different interests and hobbies. If you have a particular interest that you would like to share with your friends and neighbors, we have multiple opportunities to become a club leader; all you have to do is share your interest with your Lifestyle Manager.

Help Backyard Wildlife W
inter is here and it’s a perfect time to spend a Green Hour® helping backyard wildlife thrive throughout the season. Many of the beneficial insects, birds, and small animals in your backyard may find it harder to find shelter, water, and food in the coming months. You can help by simply placing a shallow dish of water in a sunny spot in your backyard. If you place a container on the ground, add a rock or two near the edge to help smaller creatures crawl out. Keep the containers clean and refill when low. Find more tips and activities from the National Wildlife Federation by scanning the QR code or visit thegreenhour.org/ activity/help-backyard-wildlife.
