YOUR #1 RESIDENT REALTORS
  
THE ADDISON RESERVE BUZZ

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

Good day from your favorite resident realtor team, Cherie & Larry Gross with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Realty, a team and company you can always depend upon, "The Power of Two."



Thank you for supporting us! The best compliment we could receive is for you to refer us to your friends, family and co-workers.  We are never too busy for our clients and their affiliates and thank you in advance!


Friday evening again, 'Styr" was the place to be. This week though, we decided to do a little something different. We went to Styr at around 6:30, about 30 minutes later than we normally start our Friday evenings. We decided to start our evening in the casual atmosphere of our "Styr Lounge", enjoying some light conversations and drinks with a few of our fellow members, and then continue our evening in "Taste", for a more elegant dining experience. By combining both venues for an evening, we had the best of all worlds Addison has to offer. Styr was amazing with the hors d'oeuvres, music, dancing and laughter. Taste was the fine dining experience we needed after a busy week of work! It couldn't have been a better experience.  




St. Patrick's Day was celebrated throughout our country this past Sunday and Addison couldn't and wouldn't let this occasion be missed by our membership. We all celebrated in "Taste" with a truly Irish flare when it came to color, dress & flavor for the holiday. Many members wore green, some more than others! The beer was also flowing throughout the evening. All who came enjoyed the evening immensely. 




ANNUAL MEETING
MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019

At 5:30 PM Addison Reserve met for their yearly Town Hall Meeting. There was a large turnout, as always, and an update of all our affairs were presented. We discussed finances, the new construction, future concerns , the Addison Family that we are very fortunate to have, and also the future redecorating of our clubhouse with Interior Designs by Foda. Naturally, Dinner & Refreshments were served afterwards in Styr.
