Think You’ve Got What It Takes to Win?
The competition is heating up for Super Mega Trivia 3000 Weekend! Individual competitors will put their knowledge to the test through multiple rounds of challenging questions, all leading up to an exciting championship showdown.
Whether you’re competing for the title or cheering from the sidelines, you can expect plenty of surprises, laughs, and impressive displays of random knowledge. Competitors will battle for bragging rights and the chance to be crowned the Super Mega Trivia 3000 Champion! The champion will receive one villa stay, one dinner for 2 at Cheeks, two $5 Cove coins, and 6 drink coupons, all while having the chance to double them! Most importantly, the champion's name will go down in Cypress Cove's Super Mega Trivia 3000 history with their name engraved on the belt with a photo on the plaque.
Wigs for Kids Benefit: Old Hair, New Hope
An update from Patti Sarver...
I am happy to share that this year’s Wigs for Kids Benefit has raised approximately $2,900 so far! Since our bowling fundraiser will take place after the benefit this year, we may still have more funds to add to that total.
As wonderful as that number is, the heart of this benefit has always been the people behind it. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who purchased raffle tickets, made a contribution, volunteered their time, or donated their hair.
This year’s hair donations have been especially meaningful. We often think donated hair must be freshly cut, but that is not the case. Once it is made into a hairpiece, it becomes a lasting gift for a child—regardless of when the hair was cut.
We currently have six hair donors. Josh, Russell, and Patti donated freshly cut hair, while the other three donations were saved from haircuts that took place many years ago. In many families, saving a child’s first haircut is a treasured tradition. But what if that first haircut did not happen until the child was 9, 10, or even 13 years old?
This year, we received three remarkable hair donations that had been carefully saved for as long as 64 years! The theme of this year’s benefit truly seems to be “old is new.” Hair that was lovingly tucked away for decades will now have a new purpose, helping a child feel more confident and whole. Knowing the effect our little benefit continues to have on people and seeing the love behind these donations makes my heart swell.
I also want to thank the club members who helped make the weekend possible. Larry C., Mark, and Amy R. helped set up, take everything down, manage the booth, and provide food throughout the weekend. Josh not only delivered the donation from Tampa Bay Free Beaches, but also donated his hair and sold raffle tickets at the other pool.
Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this special cause. Every ticket purchased, every hour volunteered, and every lock of hair donated helps make a difference in a child's life.
Fall Craft Fair Returns October 10
The next Cypress Cove Craft Fair is just around the corner! The fall event will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Guests can browse a variety of handmade items, unique creations, and delicious treats, including sourdough bread and other baked goods. The fair is currently scheduled to take place inside the Clubhouse. If vendor demand is high, additional space will be available outdoors under Old Cheeks.
Vendor spaces are still available. Anyone interested in participating should email Vickie at vickiejallen@gmail.com to reserve a spot.
MOSQUITO & DENGUE PREVENTION REMINDER
Osceola County Mosquito Control and the Florida Department of Health continue to monitor mosquito-borne illnesses, including dengue – “DEN-gay”. While there are currently no Osceola County dengue-specific health alerts that we have identified, there are 40 confirmed cases in neighboring counties to the west, in Hillsborough and Pasco.
Cypress Cove residents, campers, and guests are encouraged to take precautions to reduce mosquito breeding and protect themselves from mosquito bites.
Please eliminate standing water around your home, including water collecting in flowerpots, buckets, tires, gutters, tarps, birdbaths, children's pools, and other containers. Even small amounts of standing water, like in a Bromeliad plant, can provide a breeding site for mosquitoes. The use of Mosquito Bits Larvae Control Granules is recommended for use in water-holding plants, which is plant and environmentally safe, but kills mosquito larvae.
When spending time outdoors, particularly around dusk and dawn, consider wearing long sleeves and pants and using an EPA-registered mosquito repellent containing DEET or picaridin, following the product's label directions. The County also recommends following the repellent label carefully and notes that some repellents aren't appropriate for young children.
Osceola County Mosquito Control sprayed for mosquitoes throughout Cypress Cove last week.
Please, let’s all do our part to keep ourselves and our community as safe as possible.
A Fresh New Look Is Coming to the Villas!
The Villas are getting a fresh new look! The updated colors bring a brighter, more inviting feel to the buildings while complementing the style of improvements previously made throughout Cypress Cove. We’re excited to see the transformation continue and look forward to sharing more progress as the project moves forward.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our villa color contest! We appreciate all the guesses and the enthusiasm surrounding the renovations.
Congratulations to our winners: David E., Steven B., Matthew P., Cathy S., and Jim M. Each earned a 2026 Parrothead T-shirt!
Stay tuned for more updates as the Villas’ fresh new look comes together.
An Evening at Lakeside: Trivia, Dinner & a Movie
Get ready for an evening filled with great food, movie trivia, and a little romance on the dance floor. Join us at Lakeside on Sunday, October 11, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. for a themed dinner and movie experience inspired by one of cinema’s most beloved summer romances.
The evening begins with movie-themed trivia, a surprise welcome cocktail, followed by French onion soup, a Kellerman Garden Salad, and shrimp cocktail. For the main course, guests may choose between Royal Rib Roast with au jus or Mornay Mushroom Chicken, served with Duchess potatoes and almondine red pepper-haricots verts. Chiffon cake with vanilla cream and Grand Marnier mint-berry compote will provide a sweet finish, just like the movie.
Test your knowledge during themed trivia, enjoy an elegant dinner, and settle in for a film that might have you ready to dance by the end of the night.
Tickets are $49.95 per person. Seating is limited, so please call Lakeside at 407-933-3588 to make your reservation.
Baking for Boobies Celebrates 15 Sweet Years!
Get ready to indulge for a great cause! Baking for Boobies is celebrating its 15th annual fundraiser on Saturday, October 17, from 12:00 - 4:00 pm in the Gameroom, kicking off a very special week of fundraising at Cypress Cove leading into Nude-A-Palooza.
Cypress Cove’s very own Herman Galon spearheads this fundraiser every year, driven by his deep passion for supporting those affected by cancer. Once again, proceeds from the event will benefit Florida Cancer Specialists, and there are plenty of delicious and fun ways to show your support.
40 Cheesecakes. One Very Good Cause.
The star of the day is, of course, the cheesecake! Choose from an incredible 40 different varieties, available for $6 per slice. Whether you stick with an old favorite or make it your mission to sample something new, every slice helps support the cause.
But cheesecake isn't the only treat on the menu! Baking for Boobies is a full bake sale, with a variety of homemade goodies available for purchase, including cookies, muffins, and other baked treats. Come hungry and take a few extras home for later!
Want more than a slice? Eight whole cheesecakes will also be available to order for $72 each. With a limited number available, you'll want to get your order in early.
Raffles, Raffles & More Raffles!
Raffle tickets are just $1 each or 15 for $10, with a great selection of prizes up for grabs. Tickets may be purchased from Herman at Cheeks, Monday through Thursday.
The small raffle prizes will be drawn during the pool party on October 17, and you must be present to win. The Large Prize Packs will be drawn that evening at Lakeside, and you do not need to be present to win those.
Prizes you could take home include a sterling silver Cypress Cove pendant and necklace, a Nude-A-Palooza Prize Pack, a Deck Party Prize Pack, and more!
Who Are You Fighting For?
This year's fundraiser also gives you a special way to recognize someone who has been touched by cancer. For a donation, add an "I'm Fighting For: ______" dedication card to the Pink Tree. Write the name of someone you're honoring, remembering, or supporting and help fill the tree with a powerful visual reminder of why this fundraiser matters.
Make It a Week of Giving
Baking for Boobies takes place just one week before Nude-A-Palooza, making October a big month for coming together, having fun, and supporting an important cause.
Come hungry, grab some cheesecake and baked goodies, buy a few raffle tickets, add a dedication to the Pink Tree, and help us celebrate 15 years of Baking for Boobies. After all, supporting a great cause never tasted so sweet!
Do you only want to make a donation? Purchase a virtual cheesecake HERE!
*Herman needs volunteers; please email Newsletter@cypresscoveresort.com to help on October 17th!
