Susan White says we've made over 4,000
turbans for cancer patients at this
point. Unfortunately, the need keeps
increasing!
We could use new
volunteers for sure! Only two hours,
once a month. Also, if anyone
wants to contribute $$ without
sewing, that's great also, to
help offset the cost of materials
and supplies .

In early April an astute neighbor, Scott Shamlin, was out for
a morning walk when he discovered the pins connecting "C"
dock to the shore had been
snapped in two by the high
winds! A quick call to Stanley
Young, who dropped what he
was doing, rushed over, and
made emergency repairs (with
supervision) prevented further
damage! We are so fortunate to
have him!!!

Book Club
Please join us Thursday May 19th,10:00 am to
discuss our book “Brooklyn” by Colm Toibin.
This movie was nominated for Best Picture of
2016 and best actress. Please join us in the interesting conversation we will have upstairs at
the clubhouse. This is a wonderful heartwarming story that has a little bit
of everything in it:
Committed to a quiet life in little Enniscorthy, Ireland, the industrious
young Eilis Lacey reluctantly finds herself swept up in an unplanned adventure to America, engineered by the family priest and her glamorous,
"ready for life" sister, Rose. Eilis's determination to embrace the spirit of
the journey despite her trepidation--especially on behalf of Rose, who has
sacrificed her own chance of leaving--makes a bittersweet center
for Brooklyn.

Meet Our Gate Attendants
As you already know, Harbour Point has two individuals as Gate Attendants supplied by contract
with EKG Security of Gainesville. They cover the Entrance Gate from 6:00 P.M. until 2:00 A.M., seven days a week. Effective May 1, 2016, their tour will change to 4:00 P.M. until Midnight. If you are
having a party with outside guests or expecting late arriving visitors or a delivery, you should feel
comfortable with calling the Gate Attendant at 678-617-0107 and providing the names of the individuals that you would like to provide access. You may also drop a note in the mail slot in the inbound doorway of the gatehouse, if the list of names is too long to dictate over a phone. Having the
names in advance greatly facilitates the interaction at the gate and provides easy access for your
guests. Without advanced notification and if your guests are not known to the Gate Attendants, your
guests may be required to use the keypad or phone system on the kiosk at the gate, to contact you for
access.
The two regular attendants are James Wilson, who works Friday - Tuesday, and Phil Martin, who
works on Wednesday and Thursday.
James Wilson has made security his career and started his first assignment as a Facility Guard in 1978. He advanced through the ranks
and entered management of several Security Companies over the
years. In 2014, he joined EKG. James was raised and attended school
in Tucker, Georgia. He enjoys being with his family and is extremely
proud of his two children and his Grandchildren. His hobbies include
gun collecting and reconditioning vintage trucks.
Phil grew-up in Miami, Florida and
earned a degree in Business Administration from Florida Community
College in Jacksonville. Upon graduation he entered the US Navy and
retired as a Chief Petty Officer, 22-years later. He then served 12-years
as an Office Manager for a Financial Services Company. Having played
many sports while in school, Phil and his wife of 31 years continue to
enjoy many outdoor activities, such as boating, waterskiing, hiking and
target shooting. After retiring and finding some extra time on his
hands, Phil began a security career and was with Pinkerton for about
two years before joining EKG, 4- months ago. He enjoys staying in
shape and serving his fellow man.
The Attendants have received a fairly specific list of their duties and responsibilities and abide by
them very closely. If you have a question or a concern with any of the gate procedures, please contact
Bob Kelly at [email protected].

HPYC Landscaping Upgrade 2016
A new upgraded landscaping project was completed last
month. Here is a recap of what was done to help keep
Harbour Point as the most beautiful community in North
Georgia.
a.
The overgrown Pyracantha thorn bushes, inside and
outside the pool fence, were removed and replaced with
August Beauty Gardenias.
b.
The rose bushes inside the pool fence were removed
and replaced with Autumn Fire Encore Azaleas.
c.
The overgrown Loropetalum shrubs on Water Front
Drive were cut back to a four foot height.
d.
The dead or dying Hawthorns in the Peninsular, The
Ridge, The Cove, and The Overlook were replaced with
Autumn Fire Encore Azaleas.
e.
A pine island was installed in the area under the Oak
trees on Harbour Point Pkwy from the playground to the
Pavilion and Autumn Fire Encore Azaleas were planted.
f.
Autumn Fire Encore Azaleas were planted at The
Peninsular Monument.
We hope you like and will enjoy the new plants added to
these common areas. We selected the Autumn Fire Encore Azaleas because of their
brilliant red color and because
they bloom throughout the
summer. The August Beauty
Gardenias are a more friendly
plant for the pool area and
will provide a sweet aroma
during the evening hours. We
plan to add some additional
upgrades next year to complement this year’s changes.
