PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Viera's Big Year!

Eva Rey, President

Central Viera Community Association

So, I love movies. All kinds of movies. I am generally known as the Movie Trivia Queen in my circle of friends and family. A few years ago, I fell in love with a movie called “The Big Year” with Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Angelica Houston, Rosamund Pike, Jim Parsons, Rashida Jones, and a whole cast of great actors that I admire. It’s why I decided to watch the movie in the first place. Anyway, I loved the concept of this movie even though I have never been a bird watcher – at all. But, the thought of people spending so much time looking for birds absolutely fascinated me. And, this is a real thing! People do this every year all over the world!!!

First and foremost, watch the movie. It is adorable, funny, and heart-warming. Second, and this is the really big announcement, this movie inspired me to create Viera’s Big Year! My team and I have been working on organizing and setting up the framework for people to do a Big Year right here in and around Viera.

What is Viera Resident Orientation?

The Viera Resident Orientation is a two-and-a-half-hour class developed to inform Viera residents about various topics related to Viera. The Viera Resident Orientation was created in order to educate the community on all things Viera such as the history, governance structure, and lifestyle topics. Whether you are brand new to the area or have lived here over 20 years, you will learn something new about Viera.

Created and hosted by Eva Rey (Vice President, Community Management & Communications), the class goes through the past, present, and future of Viera, along with tons of other information you’d want to know living here. Beginning with the Duda family and the creation of the Viera Master Plan, the orientation dives in to where we are currently in our masterplan along with current statistics and future plans. Another big topic discussed will be the varying governing entities such as the county government, HOA’s, management companies, etc. It is important to know what agency is responsible for certain services so that residents know who to contact.
