Public Safety Updates:


PUBLIC SAFETY DAY TOMORROW & SPECIAL UPDATE


The 3rd annual Public Safety Day is almost here! Please make sure to join us on this Saturday, October 5th, from 11:00AM – 2:00PM near Fire Station 2 by the beach. There will be something for everyone, including a free lunch at noon.


SPECIAL UPDATE: We are pleased to inform everyone that our local Life Flight Helicopter will be landing at the beach during the event at approximately 12:00PM noon and staying until 1:00PM. This of course will depend on weather conditions and calls for service during that time. Witnessing the lifesaving helicopter in action is unforgettable, and you will not want to miss any part of it!


Thanks to sponsorship by the Bent Tree Foundation, contributions from residents, and help from other local public safety agencies, this event is expected to be the biggest ever. Residents are encouraged to invite outside friends and family with children. Just add them to your guest list like any other, and have them let us know at the gate they’re here for Public Safety Day. 959 Tamarack Drive is a good address for guests to GPS if they’re not familiar with the beach. We hope to see everyone there!



Administration & Board Updates:

News From the Courts Pro


Please  mark your calendars and join us for a fun evening of food and fellowship while enjoying some pickleball play as well…


Now is the time to learn tennis…Our Red Ball Challenge is for the beginner players, regardless of age. A smaller/shorter racket and “Red ball” makes learning easier. The smaller court is less intimidating for newer athletes. Classes are held this Saturday. October 5th at 11am -12:15p, and 12:30p-1:15p. Space is limited, so please RSVP with Coach Bob at 770-877-0884 to claim your spot. We supply all equipment needed. Please wear court shoes for safety purposes.

Join Us Today at the Tavern's Grand Reopening Party!


Starting at 4:00 PM, we'll be hosting putting contests and more fun. Win awesome prizes like bottles of wine, liquor, gift certificates, Bent Tree swag, and even a free golf lesson. It’s going to be a great time!


Also, a big shoutout to our PGA Jr. League team, who traveled to Windermere on Sunday. They had a blast but unfortunately lost 4-2. They’ll be playing right here at Bent Tree this Sunday at 3:00 PM vs. Eaglewatch. Come out and support them!


Upcoming Events:

  • Oct 7th – Habitat for Humanity @ 10:30 AM
  • Oct 14th – LGA Ladies Mountain League
