Assignment of Benefits Issue

Guest Column in The Banner

In December 2018, Jim Swanger sent a note:

“Attached is a brochure for posting on the Masters website. Apparently there is a roofing contractor who, after recently inspecting a few roofs in the Masters and finding that the roofs have been ‘compromised’ and need to be replaced, is asking owners to sign a legally binding, non-rescindable Assignment of Benefits. The attachment may be helpful to our neighbors who might be considering entering into such a transaction.”

Pelican Sound Safety Committee

As reported in the Pelican Sound Wave 2/27/2019

Please forward your concerns and proposals to
Chris Ralston at cralston209@gmail.com.


A group of concerned Members, the Traffic Calming Group, has been formed to address safety on our streets, sidewalks and parking areas.

It includes:

  • Bob Schultz of River Ridge CDD
  • Bob Twombly a neighborhood Board member
  • Larry Hannah of the Strategic Planning Committee
  • George Jakucki a bicyclist
  • Chris Ralston, a Board Member

The purpose of the committee is to gather input from our Members as to their concerns and suggested solutions to safety traffic issues. We will be covering motor vehicles of all types, bicycles, golf carts, runners, joggers and walkers. While we are gathering this information, we are going forward with publicizing information concerning proper operation of all modes of transportation and other safety related issues.

Please pay special attention to the Wave and reports from our General Manager, Eric Long. 

Let us work together to make Pelican Sound a safe place for all of us to enjoy.

Masters Party at Racquet Center – March 11

Masters Community ( Owners / Renters/Guests)

A Masters Community event is at the new PSG&RC Racquet club on Monday, March 11, 2019 starting at 4:30 P.M.

This is a opportunity to enjoy our newly added amenity at Pelican Sound and just prior to final Bocce playoffs for our community.

The committee ( Jan Ellis, Monika Clark & Pat Becker) is working on final food arrangements, but need your assistance for their planning.

They must give a vendor a final total on attendees four days before the event;

No different than prior years when we use an outside vendor to support a planned event.

We will have Tennis and Pickle Ball Courts available for those that would like to play before and during our event. Several Masters members have volunteered to schedule playing and/ or  providing group training on either pickle Ball or tennis on one of the reserved courts training , if there is interest .

We will have courts from 4:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.

We apologize the for short notice but as you realize we had to wait for the Town of Estero  approval on the new racquet center , then get in line for an event date after the Club first selected dates for all their events. Several dates we considered were gone within hours while  considering if acceptable. WE chose the 11th to have the benefit of daylight savings and prior to community Bocce finals. . It is nice to know PSG&RC will have  a well used facility!

An agenda and menu/ cost  will be issued prior to the event.

Currently our committee is  requesting your sign up now for planning. You will pay at the event similar to prior years at the catered events.

Please advise if you will or cannot attend. If attending you will be sent a confirmation.

You can send reply to djjancin@aol.com

Signs: Not a Suggestion

Masters Circle Speed Limit: 15 mph

Stop Signs require vehicles, including golf carts and bicycles, to come to a complete stop.

A rolling stop doesn’t qualify. Please let your vehicle settle.

We live on a narrow street and exceeding the speed limit and/or not coming to a full stop endangers everyone.

It’s also a good idea to drive with low-beam headlights on during daylight hours.
