Rod Emmerton, Chair, Welcoming/Marketing Committee
Your SunBird HOA Welcoming/Marketing Committee hosted their annual Meet and Greet event, open to all 2024 new homeowners, on Jan. 21. A substantial amount of planning and organizing went into this important event, including a variety of foods prepared and served by Horizon Room Manager Julie Rundle and her team. The committee usually begins this process in November and seeks out local businesses and retailers to supply product samples and/or gift cards for our door prizes. Naturally, our focus is to support and shop local entities, as well as promoting our beautiful golf resort as the premier place to live!
We welcomed 63 new homeowners to our midst, a record number of attendees, despite a small drop in new home transactions, and they enjoyed a fun-filled evening. Delicious foods, along with information on SunBird golf and service clubs and a thorough review of our facilities, were delivered by Chuck Heitbrink and Layne Varney. Each of our 10 tables also enjoyed a centerpiece raffle game and, additionally, the committee rounded up 13 valuable gift and door prizes, which were given out at intervals during the program. Every household also received a goodie bag of products and information supplied by our Community Day participants. All in all, it was a very positive SunBird experience for our new homeowners and a job well done by all our volunteers and committee members.
