As we transition into summer and the end of the school year, our community comes alive with family gatherings, children playing outdoors, and increased neighborhood activity. With kids riding bikes, scooters, and skateboards, please take extra care in your daily routines and while driving through the community. This also means the WCCA Board’s May meeting will be our final meeting until September, as we observe our annual summer hiatus. While we will not be meeting, the Board remains active and committed to serving our community.
The summer months mean vacations and staycations with family and friends. We love to pack up the paddleboards and explore Southwest Florida, as well as many of the spring rivers throughout the state. Being a fifth-generation Floridian, it’s always special to enjoy parts of Old Florida. It’s nice to see all the outdoor barbecues in the neighborhood and neighbors gathering together.
Summer also means the beginning of hurricane season, and while we have had several quiet years, please do not take that for granted and make sure you are prepared before the season hits. Make plans to stay safe and be prepared. Sign up for free emergency alerts from Lee County government. Have a plan for evacuation if necessary. Protect your home with hurricane hardening and protection, securing windows, garage doors, roofs, and gutters. Trim trees that are close to windows or screens, and start your generators. Gather essential supplies such as batteries, food, water, and flashlights. Establish a communication plan with family and friends.

Community Entrance Improvements
We are pleased to share that we have completed the refurbishment of the light columns at the McGregor entrance, as well as painting both entrances and the McGregor walls. The new colors and repairs to the community entrances give a clean and fresh look. We hope you enjoy the new look.
These enhancements would not have been possible without the support of residents who contribute through their annual Civic Association memberships. Because of that support, the WCCA was able to fund this $50,000+ community improvement project, giving our entrances a new and refreshed, welcoming appearance.
This project’s completion was made possible through our partnerships with Lee County, the MSTBU Advisory Board, and Extreme Painting. Thank you to our Association members and community partners for helping make these improvements a reality. With your continued support, we remain committed to enhancing our neighborhood, protecting property values, and ensuring Whiskey Creek remains a truly special place to live.
Community Events
The Whiskey Creek Civic Association will host the 4th Annual Battle at the Creek Golf Tournament on May 15 at Whiskey Creek Country Club. Each year, this event supports a local charity, and this year’s beneficiary is the PACE Center for Girls, an outstanding nonprofit organization that provides essential resources and guidance to help local middle and high school girls thrive.
Additionally, don’t forget about the 4th of July parade organized by Tanglewood. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate Independence Day while enjoying the sight of kids decorating their bikes and families adorning their golf carts. It’s a great way to kick off your 4th of July celebrations!
If you haven’t yet visited the newly renovated clubhouse and outdoor patio, get up there. The Country Club Board did an amazing job. It has quickly become a favorite gathering place for friends and neighbors to hang out, enjoy the relaxed vibes, and experience the updated menu. You may even see me there for the occasional happy hour.
WCCA Board Meetings
The Whiskey Creek Civic Association Board Meetings are held at the clubhouse and are always open to residents. We encourage community participation and welcome your ideas and feedback.

None of these improvements, community events, and neighborhood gatherings would be possible without the support of our WCCA members. Our goal is to achieve 100% participation, and we are currently at approximately 35%. If you have not yet joined or renewed your Civic Association membership, now is the perfect time—every membership truly makes a difference.

Thank you for being the heart of Whiskey Creek. Together, we continue to make this an exceptional community. Have a wonderful summer, my friends.
