Letter From the Lifestyle Team
JAMES INGRAM & TONIANNE GIANAKOUROS YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGERS
The Holiday Season in Here!
This time of year is a beautiful reminder of how much we have to be thankful for—our vibrant Members, our dedicated team, and the countless moments that make life here so special. Each day, we’re reminded that what makes this community truly shine isn’t just the amenities or the events, it’s you. The laughter at gatherings, the smiles during celebrations, and the friendships that grow from shared experiences are what bring everything to life.
We truly love what we do—bringing fun, joy, and connection to our community and helping create meaningful memories that last far beyond the event itself. Whether it’s a festive celebration, a quiet moment of togetherness, or a spontaneous spark of laughter, these are the moments that remind us why we love serving this amazing neighborhood.
As we move into this season of gratitude, we want you to know how much you’re appreciated. Thank you for being part of this wonderful community, for showing up, for sharing your energy and kindness, and for making this place feel like home in every sense of the word.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, cozy, and gratitude-filled holiday season. May your days be full of warmth, laughter, and the company of those who mean the most.
James & ToniAnne

Furry Friends
Meet Baci & Bria
LOVED BY PETER & MARY BENNETT
Baci and Bria are our beloved Cavapoo companions, each with a personality all their own. Baci is the ultimate lap companion— laid-back, cuddly, and always ready for a treat. Adopted from Pennsylvania, Baci came home to be the perfect work-from-home buddy, happily curled up nearby during the day (especially when snacks are involved).
Bria is full of energy and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch. Bria joined the family just two days before Christmas, instantly becoming a joyful and unforgettable holiday blessing.
While their personalities are different, Baci and Bria share a close bond—and a love for cozy moments, playtime, and being adored. They’re more than just pets—they’re an essential part of the family.
