PRESIDENT’S ARTICLE
Don Blank, Board President
Happy New Year
It would be a huge understatement to say that 2020 was a unique year for all of us. We certainly can be proud
of how our community responded to all the challenges we faced during the COVID pandemic. Our community
includes not only all our landowners but also those that have helped during this time, members of our staff,
committees, and Board. Despite everything, we have been able to maintain an almost “normal” day to day
operation.
I am exceptionally proud of our landowners and staff who met these trying times head on with a resolve that
demonstrated the “we are a family” attitude our entire community possesses. For example, our landowner
contributions to this year’s Employee Holiday Fund were at a record setting high, allowing our employees a
much-needed holiday take home bonus.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it is not over yet. Please remain vigilant, stay safe and continue to be
considerate of the extra effort and stress experienced by our neighbors and employees as well as all our
families.
We have a lot of work to do this year. Your 2021 Board Executive Committee consists of me, Don Blank as
President, Carl Nelson as Vice President, Bob Turner as Treasurer, and Marshall Fletcher as Secretary.
The board will hold a workshop to review and develop a plan for the implementation of the Strategic Planning
Task Force’s recommendations. To see the Task Force recommendations, Click Here or click the “2020 Strategic
Planning Task Force Report” document under Helpful Information in the Document center of the Port Royal
Website.
Also, in early January we will review Director of Security Rob Wilkinson’s Road Safety Analysis which still needs
your input. Look at Rob’s Security report on page 4 for a website link to the report and please send your
thoughts to Rob no later than the first week in January. Deciding how to proceed will be difficult so we want as
much input as possible.
A major project will occur in 2021 as committees and teams work to review and update the Asset Replacement
Plan. This is critical to properly prepare for the long-term funding necessary to maintain our community assets
and amenities.
These are just a few projects for 2021. There are many more, and all will need your help. In January, the Board
will establish the various committees and task forces to accomplish our goals. The chairpersons will be looking
for landowners to participate, so be on the lookout for eblasts asking for landowner volunteers. This will be
your chance to become involved and help shape our community’s future.
With all that occurred in 2020 we still survived and progressed. We all look forward to an even more successful
2021.

SECURITY REPORT
Rob Wilkinson, Director of Security
Swimming Pool Rules
The Board of Directors was recently informed by the Association’s
attorney that we had to make a change in our Pool Rules to comply
with the Fair Housing Act. The Board approved the rule change and
used our attorney’s suggested terminology.
Current Rule:
Any child not wearing a diaper of any kind may use the large pool.
Children not toilet trained or any child wearing diapers or a swim-type
diaper are permitted only in the small pool. Any accident involving
fecal matter causing the large pool to close will result in the representing landowner being fined $150.00 per
day the pool is closed.
New Rule:
Non-toilet trained and incontinent persons must wear swim diapers and a tight-fitting vinyl diaper cover when
using the pools. Any accident involving fecal matter causing the pools to close will result in the representing
landowner being fined $150.00 per day the pool is closed.
Road Safety Analysis
In October 2020, the Road Safety Analysis was posted on our website www.portroyalplantation.net. Please
read the analysis and send your comments and feedback to me at security@portroyalplantation.net by
January 8, 2021. I will be providing our Board of Directors a report with the feedback from our landowners.
Thank you in advance. Here is a link to a copy of the analysis.

PORT ROYAL HAPPENINGS
Port Royal Ladies: PR PB Dink for Deepwell Tournament
Port Royal Ladies held their first “PR PB Dink for Deep Well
Tournament” to benefit the Deep Well Project. Ten teams of 2
women each raised a total of $1000 from registrations, and four
Secret Santas matched those funds with a total of $5,250 going to
Deep Well. Yet one more example of how the residents of this
incredible community are helping those not as lucky as we are.
Nefeli Keebaugh organized the event, but she insists that all of the
credit and kudos go to the players, the Secret Santas and Dale Brown,
PR tennis and PB pro. Dale was immediately on board with the idea and offered his full support with the court
time, organizing the matches and giving a free lesson for the winners.
The ladies that participated in the tournament as teams were: Sally Wormley and Jamie Evans, Jackie Darling
and Marci Parrick, Karen Simpson and Janet Fleming, Linda Moloney and Marianne Tillman, Jane Allen and
Mary Lou Murphy, Joyce Kreis and Anne Garrette, Lisa D’Arienzo and Karen Kennedy, Galina Coe and Patti
Soltys, Gail Barbano and Linda Stauffer, Carrie Wilbur and Anita Kerkhof. Even some ladies that were not able
to play contributed to this event. The Secret Santas will remain a secret, but their contributions were
unequivocally impactful and appreciated. A huge THANK YOU to the Secret Santas for their matching
contributions.
Great fun was had by all, and the esprit de Coeur was everywhere as spectators cheered and teams unleashed
their serves and dinks. The teams played a total of 30 matches with the first place going to none other than
team Joyce Kreiss and Ann Garrette. Lisa D’Arienzo and Karen Kennedy took second place, third place was
secured by Carrie Wilbur and Anita Kerkof, fourth place belongs to Jane Allen and Mary Lou Murphy and fifth
place awarded to team Galina Coe and Patti Soltys. Congratulations to all, and to all a good cheer!
