In a shining example of community spirit, ice cream socials have been bringing neighbors together to support worthy causes since the 19th century. Honoring this tradition, the HOA Activities Committee hosted an Ice Cream Social on Sunday, April 6, in the Ballroom from 4 to 6 p.m. that will be etched in wonderful memories. This event welcomed over 200 residents, who savored vanilla and chocolate hot fudge sundaes with an assortment of delectable toppings, graciously served by committee members and volunteers. The Island Coast High School Jazz Band performed with gusto, and residents showed appreciation by donating generously, enabling the committee to present their music program with a large check to aid in the purchase of a saxophone. Additionally, many new friendships were established and existing ones reinforced during this gathering. A special thanks to Rich Eilers, Mike Fell, Jeff Jensen, and Terry McElfresh for their crucial roles as our “Scoopers,” serving over 220 complimentary sundaes. Their efforts were instrumental in making the event a resounding success.
