Harbor Hills Tennis Program

We had five teams out of Harbor Hills that were part of the USTA program. We had a men's 4.0 team to advance to go to sectionals in Daytona and some of our ladies to play on another team in our area that won the title and will be competing for the state in October in Las Vegas. We had a mixed team that lost by one game to go to Daytona. This is a national program and our club did great in this.

Marinated Mariners Trip May 25

Marinated Mariners took a cruise for a Lunch on May 25.

Harbor Hills Cruise

Besides the golf, the tennis and the activities one of the great aspects of Harbor Hills is the people that live there.

32 of our residents spent 21 days cruising to Italy and by the appearance of this picture had a great time.

Welcome back

Central Florida Real Estate

March winds blew in more than hot air…it brought us some sales. According to the Orlando Business Journal, sales are up in Central Florida by more than 13%. This is great news and a sign that these baby steps might work up a little momentum for us in the Central Florida real estate industry.

Actually Harbor Hills did better than a 13 percent increase.

April numbers are not in yet but we do expect an increase in them which will be the third month in a row.

Roundtable Meeting and Water Information

We will be having a Roundtable Meeting on Wednesday May 7th at 10:00 A.M. in the Clubhouse.

We will be discussing some Well Tests that are being conducted in the next couple of weeks.

Please be sure to follow the St John's guidelines for irrigation.

Ron Clark from Kravetz will be in attendance.

Anyone interested is invited to attend.

Harbor Hills Polo Party

This was a letter to Jerri and Geo Mayer re: Harbor Hills members going to Polo Match from Ted Drzewiecki.

What a super picnic and polo match.
Great weather and the super location and the unbelievable food...what did you do with all the leftover ribs?. It pays to have good contacts! We really love having organizers like you to organize our lives. We've never had so much social activity in our lives...and it appears to be so effortless! And the folks here are so great, Bob and Cathy seem like really good additions, and the regular crew as always friendly and interesting with something new everytime we chat.

Member Member Golf Tournament

The Harbor Hills Member-Member tourney has concluded, after a nailbiting three hole shootout. The overall winning team and Grand Champions for 2008 were David Hoffman and Reinhold Hammer who also won their Hogan flight.

David and Reinhold are seen here celebrating with their wives.

Both the Hammers and the Hoffmans are recent Harbor Hills Homeowners who have had homes built by Harbor Hills Development in the last couple of years.

David Hoffman also won the Member Guest Tournament a coupl of weeks ago with his guest Ron Steinert.

Way to go guys.....

Harbor Hills Toronto Show

The Harbor Hills show went on the road this weekend to Toronto where we participated in the Home Learning Annex Real Estate Wealth Show.

Over 20,000 people attended this show in the Toronto Convention Center.

Special Guest Speaker was Donald Trump. Yes that Donald Trump.

We had the opportunity to tell many Canadians the Harbor Hills Story.

We also got the chance to speak to many Canadian Real Estate Brokers and Network with them about referring clients to Harbor Hills for both new and pre-owned Homes.

Member Guest 2008

Congratulations to David Hoffman and Ron Steinert

Not only did David and Ron sweep their flight at this year's Harbor Hills Member-Guest Tournament, but they WON THE WHOLE ENCHILADA!!Surviving the three hole playoff for each of seven flight-winning teams, only two teams remained. In a total nailbiter (believe me), David's superior chip clinched the win! The chip was struck to thunderous applause, as the neighbors, in golf carts, celebrated the victory! More surprises were in store for the Dynamic Duo at the banquet that evening. The winners, David and Ron, received a standing ovation and accepted their trophies (which looked remarkably like the Heiseman!) Additional prizes included: golf bags by Cadillac, gold-engraved putters and the prized Harbor Hills jacket, suitable for wearing at next year's banquet. A fantastic time was had by all!

Dr. Claudia L. Thomas

It is great pleasure that we congratulate Harbor Hills's own Dr. Claudia L.Thomas on her recent Diversity award from the American Association Of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Those of us that live and work at Harbor Hills that have known her both as a resident of our community and that have seen her as a patient are very proud of her.

First black U.S. female orthopedist receives AAOS diversity award1st on the web (March 7, 2008)

March 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — From an orthopedic residency that began more than 30 years ago, Claudia L. Thomas, MD, has risen through the ranks of her profession to receive an honor bestowed on only a few individuals.
Claudia L. Thomas
She was presented with the 2008 Diversity Award here at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 75th Annual Meeting. Thomas was the first black female orthopedic surgeon in the country when she started practicing medicine in 1982.
Nominated more than once for the award, she told Orthopedics Today that her effort finally paid off. "It's wonderful and a very very positive thing," Thomas said.
Thomas admits she has surmounted many obstacles along the way and today helps men and women of all backgrounds seeking entrance not only into orthopedic residencies but into medical careers of all kinds, especially when their path is ridden with barriers. In an academy press release, she said, "I am still sought out by young people who are interested in pursuing orthopedics. This has given me the opportunity to mentor, encourage and 'prop up' those who may have felt discouraged along the way."
Her career and life have been varied. "My career has been all over the place, I guess you can say," she noted. Now in private practice in Florida, she has practiced at Johns Hopkins Medial Center in Baltimore and in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The field is more diverse than when she entered it, Thomas noted. "Those of us who were female and minority who came through the specialty made an effort to attract medical students who would diversify the field of orthopedic surgery," she told Orthopedics Today.
Statistics from the AAOS show the increase in female orthopedists now exceeds that of black surgeons
