BBLA HOA Annual Meeting

Please email any questions, comments or agenda items to Mike DelGiacco. Traditionally a neighbor graciously hosts a cocktail reception that evening; please let us know if you are interested in being that wonderful person!
Christmas Golf Cart Parade
What a magical evening! Twinkling lights, Yuletide carols being sung by the palms, scrumptious snacks and the joyful shrieks of our children…there is nothing quite like Christmas in the Caribbean, and the Shoys Golf Cart Parade is one of the events of the season! Deck your cart with boughs of holly, or borrow one from a neighbor who’s freezing at their sister’s house in Ohio (there’s always a cart to borrow, always), make your favorite appetizer (devils on horseback was immensely popular last year!) and meet in the beach parking lot to line up.
Halloween…boo!
On Halloween itself, Monday, October 31st, 5:30pm, the spooky fun begins!
5:30 - 7:30 Trick or treating
7:30 - 9:00 Pizza Party - Chewnings’ tennis court
Please email Leah Chewning at lchewningstx@gmail.com if you would like to pass out candy. Provide your name and lot # please. Also, please let Leah know if you will be joining in the fun so the homeowners know how much candy to buy.
A few days before we will send out a map of Shoys with the houses that are distributing candy and fun! Parents will drive their ghosts and goblins around in golf carts, trucks or cars to trick or treat. .
Halloween is one of the most thrilling celebrations of the year in Shoys! Best to start thinking about your elaborate costumes now, especially if like me everyone in your family changes their mind 1000 times…is agreeing on one cohesive, subtly hilarious, not-too-obvious pop-culture reference (maybe like Ted Lasso last year) too much to ask?
Stock up on candy and let us know if your house will be a stop on the trick-or-treaters’ map, then hop in your golf cart or pickup truck and get those treats! We often are lucky enough to be hosted at an after-party where high-powered candy trades are brokered.
