This past sunday April 11 I visited some good friends in Pembroke Pines Century Village. They showed me around, I'm not moving to it but it was a great tour. Every Sunday between 2 pm and 4 pm they have music at pool side with a piano player who sings. Every sunday they have someone else. The Seniors and Bay Boomers love to dane to the music.
In the main office which we would call our ticket office. They have pastic display bins (which could be bought at Staples) with a flyers from every club and organization so that everyone can see what is going on in CV. They have 55 clubs going. The flyer listing the clubs has - Club name, Meeting date, Meeting time, Meeting room, Contact person and time. If we have one of these I have never seen it. They will be celebrating Mother's Day Sunday, May 9 poolside at the clubhouse 1 pm to 4 pm with music. They have a Cafe on the Green Restaurant open daily from 6:30 am to 3 pm. Dinner hours Frid-Sat & Sun 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This is not an advertisment for Pembroke Pines, I still want to live here in our CV.
Now that we have a NEW UCO maybe a representation of our NEW UCO should take a trip down to Pembroke Pines and see what's going on. May be it's time for real change.
The men's room has tree sinks not four. The have one hand dryer like us. But at the same time they have a paper towel dispenser with no papers on the floor as was told to me in our CV.
Seeing is beliving. No let's look into it. This is 2010.
I know that someone is going to reply to me to sell here and move to Pembroke Pines. Well that is not the reply I would like to see. I want NO negative replies. I just want to see our CV get better with the NEW UCO.
I'm a snowbird. I donate my time to COP for CV and Veterans at the WPB VA Hospital, so I don't sit on my A__. So please don't tell me to join UCO.

ReplyDeleteThank you, that's all I'm asking for. Thanks again.
Good ideas Charlie
ReplyDeleteSure sounds like a good idea. I understand that CVWPB use to have a coffee shop in club house and it was discontinued as they lost money one it.
ReplyDeleteNew regime; lots of new people. Time to try again!
I agree !!! We need at least a coffee shop, in addition, your comment about the club info is an excellent one. Perhaps our NEW Administration could check out the other CV's to see what could be used here at CVWPB..Thanks for your input. Very well stated. Also thanks for your service to CV while you are here.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Charlie. A coffee shop would be nice maybe in the Medical Building.
ReplyDeleteDavid:
ReplyDeleteWhen you check out other CV's
someone asked me today why our
CVWPB is the only CV where the
unit owner gets a water bill
each month. I was told that at
the other 3 CV their water is
included in their maintenance.
Any truth to this statement.
Charlie:
ReplyDeleteCan you find out if your friend
at Pembrook Pines if their
water bill is in their maintenance
fee and they never get a water
bill.
Thanks in advance
There appears to be several differences in Pembroke Pines,
ReplyDeleteTheir Guest policy for one..who pay
the same amount for Theatre tickets
as their residents do.
Their fee's per show, (ie) $7.00
vs our $9.00 (Sal Richards show)
Ours was a Saturday Night, theirs
was not- I do not know, whether that is a factor or not
their seating capacity is less than ours.
Having visited that location, many
yrs. ago, shortly after it was built('90's)the price per unit, was
considerably higher, as was the
monthly assessment..It would be interesting to know, if they operate with a Civic Association,
such as we do..and how their recreational facilities are handled.
