We purchased a lot in Buttonwood in September. Our condo in So FL is under contract and will close the end of November; my wife and I will be visiting TV within the next two weeks to start the process of building our house. We will be splitting our time between Long Island and TV in the future.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Matt & Debbie

FYI the neighbors in Buttonwood have had several socials. They started out as house parties. The number of guests grew quickly and required the change to a monthly social now held at Fish Hawk recreation center. I think they are held the second Friday of the month.
Some residents are playing pickle ball every Wed. from 3-6pm, again at Fish Hawk. Just show up and introduce yourself. It would be helpfulto take PB 101 to learn the safety and rules of the game.
Check with the Rec. Director at Fish Hawk for some other activities specifically organized by Buttonwood neighbors.
Welcome , hope you enjoy your stay.
PS. Neighbors share info at the Buttonwood pool.

Welcome to Buttonwood. Our Gardenia on Dorst Lane is under construction and we close in early December. We'll not be snowbirds until 2012 but we want to visit as often as we can in 2011.

I'm working in Connecticut through 2011. I've been ready to retire for several years but the last of our five children will finish her undergraduate degree next May and then we will have sent them all off into the world with no debt. The debt, of course, remains ours in the form of a large mortgage on our home up North. We hope to put our CT home on the market next spring and optimistically rent there until we can make it to Buttonwood.

Welcome neighbors. We just completed our Lily on Claverton and will be down for our first visit to the new house in Dec. We are looking forward to meeting our new neighboors and future friends. We'd love to get together for social activities- cards, dancing, or whatever.

Claverton is a dead eand street that Kincord Court intersects. I know one of the people on your block. Bobbie (female) and Mike. Great people. I have the Iris on Kincord. Looks like we'll cross paths sooner or later. Welcome to the neighborhood.
