HOT, HOT, HOT! The summer is sizzling and we have had rivers of rain. Add in a few tornados, booming thunder, lightning cracks, overflowing pools and you get the picture. Folks feel it is good to chill out and slow down. Some of us are traveling and many have summertime visitors. Be sure to check out our feature on the Palm Beach Photographic Centre. It is a perfect place to learn more, see brilliant work and find your own secret talent.
BallenIsles Club members are eagerly awaiting the Board's proposal for the Clubhouse, South golf course and Sports Complex renovations. We love the our amenities here so much that we want to re-imagine, refresh and redesign them so that BallenIsles continues to exceed our expectations,
Stay cool and have fun! Laura & Tana
