Do You Have Your Flamingos?
If you’ve noticed flocks of flamingos popping up across Cypress Cove—at campsites, villas, and around the pool—you’re seeing the start of something truly meaningful. These pink ambassadors are part of the Flamingo Adoption Program, a fun and heartfelt charity effort led by seasonal residents Ric & Laurel in support of the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
This summer tradition is also the first step in the 21st Annual Cypress Cove Parrothead Breast Cancer Fundraiser. When you adopt a flamingo (or a whole flamboyance!), 100% of your donation goes to the cause, and you’ll also receive raffle tickets for exclusive prizes!
Parrothead Raffle prizes include things like artwork, Cypress Cove Villa stays, grills, bicycles, TV's, top-shelf liquor baskets, and much, much more!
Make sure you ask about the Islandfest Raffle while adopting your flamingos. This is a separate raffle where you can win prizes that make life a little easier during Parrothead weekend.
Island Weekend Raffle prizes include:
-
Reserved parking spots (trust us, that’s a hot item during Parrothead!)
-
Coolers packed with goodies to enjoy at the event.
-
Use of a pink sunshade tent in a prime poolside spot for the entire event weekend!
You’ll spot Ric & Laurel with a wagon full of flamingos around the pool—stop by to adopt yours!
Contact: Laurel at 407-922-7004 or StrideWithLaurel@gmail.com

Let’s flock together, raise awareness, and make this milestone Parrothead Weekend the most impactful yet!

Date & Time to be announced
Step into a night where flavor meets a little time-bending fun at Lakeside Restaurant’s Dinner & a Movie experience. This themed evening pairs a creatively crafted appetizer, entrée, and dessert all inspired by a certain iconic adventure through decades, with a film that’s equal parts nostalgia and excitement.
It’s more than dinner, it’s an experience that plays with time, taste, and a touch of imagination. Reservations are a must, so make your plans now… because this is one night you won’t want to miss, no matter what year you’re coming from.
Congratulations to April's Yard winners!
It was a tough call – lots of beautiful yards around the Cove! So many residents are showing up to make their yards bloom.
Most improved yard of the month for April is Linda & Barry Bordner.
The Most Beautiful yard of the month award goes to John & Amy Kornhaus.
But don’t get too comfortable, there’s still plenty of time to join in! The contest runs through May 31, and we’ll continue selecting winners each month in both categories: Most Beautiful Lot and Most Improved Lot. That means more chances to showcase your space and take home one of those coveted $250 Lowe’s gift cards (and, of course, the bragging rights that come with it).
Haven’t voted yet? There’s still time to make your voice count! Please submit your votes via email or visit the front office to cast your ballot. Remember, one vote per lot.
Whether you’re planting, pruning, or just putting those finishing touches on your outdoor oasis, we can’t wait to see what you create next. Keep those entries and votes coming… this spring is just getting started!
