driving around the community are helping the Real Estate Market and keeping our committee busy.

The ARB was busy this year with New Construction. Estate homes are being bought and leveled to the ground. The new construction is taking about 1 to 1 1/2 years to rebuild. Deal- ing with the new construction and issues with parking and the amount of cars and trucks at the construction sites a new set of Construction Rules and Guidelines have been established

We approved 18 applications and took in $20,356 in applica- tion fees for the 2014/2015 season.

Remember to submit an application to the ARB Committee for any exterior changes, shutter installation, paint and Land- scape changes.

We still have 1 lot inside the community which will also see new construction.

Andrew Taylor and his engineering staff, Boyd, Roosevelt, Bernard, Darren, Jose, Tom and Prophet did a great job in creating walls, partitions, and lighting to accentuate all the beautiful artwork.

On January 23rd and 24th, Frenchman’s Creek had our 22nd Art Expo Exhibition. Our theme this year was “Art of My Heart". A color theme of red, pink, and purple was chosen. We enjoyed viewing wonderful Art from our members, and once again invited our staff to share their Art Talents. We included the work of members who are participating in Art therapy classes, and the work of artists who have since passed away. It was a great success and everyone enjoyed seeing the CreHEARTivity of members and staff. We enjoyed seeing all our members add red, pink, and purple to their attire to add to our "Art of My Heart" theme. Both evenings began with an open-bar cocktail hour with delicious hors d’oeuvres. The members enjoyed walking around viewing all the interesting Artworks. It was fun meet- ing the Artists and chatting with them about their Art crea- tions. This was followed by a fabulous four course dinner, with dancing to a six piece band that featured a female vocal- ist. Everyone enjoyed this artistic event.

Our Art Curator, Kelly Luchini did a fantastic job in setting up the art works professionally and esthetically for all to enjoy.

Many thanks to Chef Bernd Linsenmayer and his culinary staff Martin, Jasmin, and Chris, and to the Food and Beverage Department: Ashish Sethi, Kyle Hatakeyama, Christine Misiano, Sue Govender, Darren Johnston and Nadja Krieger. A personal thank you to Andrea Ile, without whose help this large undertaking would not have been so successful. Thank you to Achal Goswami and Fred Stern who have given me the opportunity to Chair Art Expo 2015, a job I thoroughly enjoy. Barry Fenner, Chairperson Art Expo Committee
