| Greetings! | |
After last month's publication of What's Up St. James we received some emails asking if there was a connection between What's Up and the new online newsletter This Week St. James. Here's what's up with that -
What's Up and Cat-Tales are official publications of the St. James POA. There is no connection between these two publications and Just Judy or the new online newsletter.
We've established a new email address for What's Up. Please use the following email address, whatsupstjames@gmail.com when sending information for publications. If you wish to change the email you have on file with the poa, that email needs to be sent to poa@atmc.net and they can change or add you to the list to received What's Up and other POA publications.
All the Best,
Chris Nicholas
Important message:
Please make sure that the POA office has the most current information on file for you (names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails, etc.). This will be extremely important as we move forward into our new website. Please send any updates to: poa@atmc.net.
If this email was forwarded to you and you would like to receive it, please contact poa@atmc.net |

SJAC Dancing Under the Stars 2012
Put on your dancing shoes for the annual Street Dance hosted by the St. James Activities Committee on Saturday May 26th. Mike's Garage Band will be playing from 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM at the Founders Club parking lot. Mike's Garage Band will donate all proceeds earned from the dance to our local Hospice. Join your neighbors and friends and dance the night away with your "honey."
Please bring your own food, beverage, table, and chairs. If possible, car pool since parking is limited. Tickets are $2.50 per person.
SJAC Street Dance -- Important Change!!!!!!
It has come to our attention that Troon/The Clubs has been issued a new Sports Liquor License instead of a Restaurant License which now includes all their Sports Centers, Pools, and Parking Lots. We have our Street Dance scheduled for Sat., May 26, 5:00-9:00 pm, in the Founders Parking Lot; however, we now are required to buy our wine/beer from Troon/The Clubs and not allowed to bring in our own alcohol as in the past. In order to make this "transition" easier they are offering a "special" of $13/bottle for the house wine (Chardonay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Cab-Sav, or Red Zinfandel) and there will be a concession stand set up for the entire evening. The St. James Activities Committee apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause but we were not told of this change until this week. Due to the large number of tickets sold, everyone needs to carpool to help out with the parking and we ask you to not bring large tables. There will also be a "Designated Smoking Area" that we will honor. Again, we apologize for this change and hope you will understand. The Street Dance is always lots of fun and Mike's Garage Band will be donating the proceeds to Hospice.
Save these Beach Party Dates
St. James Activities Committee is sponsoring Beach Parties at the St.James Beach Club on Oak Island on June 9, July 14, and August 11th.
Meet your friends on the beach from 5:30-8:30 Saturday, June 9th and dance to oldie tunes with DJ, Archie Witty. There is no cost for this fun event. Just bring your own beverage, a chair, silverware/plates and a hearty appetizer for 20.
