2022 Newsletter: From the Office of the President

by Cliff Holland, MPOA President

‘So sad for so many,’ are words that come to mind when looking back on the impact of Hurricane Ian. No one understands the magnitude of this loss more than those who personally experienced it. I hope our residents are on the road to recovery and have persevered through the many challenges. The outpouring of support from neighbors and friends is extraordinary and speaks volumes to the character of our community.

The MPOA Board of Governors is very focused on restoring The Moorings and our beach park. The beach park took a terrible hit from Ian and will require complete restoration. We will view this as an opportunity to create an improved experience for our members and bring back the beauty of this incredible asset. Thank you to so many of you who have donated to our Restoration Fund. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We also appreciate your patience as our work progresses; it will take several months to complete this project. We will do our best to open the park when it is safe to do so.

When the park reopens, please remember that our attendants are there to ensure members have a safe and pleasant visit. Please, support their efforts by recognizing our park rules and treating them with respect as they fulfill this very important role.

I encourage members to attend our monthly Board meetings. They are scheduled on the second Tuesday of the month from October to May and are held at the Moorings Presbyterian Church located at 791 Harbour Drive. Representatives from City Staff provide updates on important projects and plans, and a representative from the Naples Police Department discusses specific issues and opportunities in the neighborhood. Frequent guest speakers are also included to cover topics relevant to our members. Member ideas and feedback are always welcome!

We are very fortunate to live in a wonderful place like The Moorings. The MPOA Board will continue to focus on opportunities to enhance our community.
