The Carneys celebrated 47 years of marriage in June and have two grandkids (Justin, 18 & Kaytlyn, 16) that are the apples of their eyes. Also, like all great dogs, their PomChi named “Butter” fills their days with love and laughs. Ron is board member for HACC and Donna is the HACC Activities Director. As always, they did a fantastic job organizing and executing the Community Garage Sale!

Notices1. It is required that all residents must use trash cans

when driving in the community. There have been multiple reports of residents speeding, creating a danger for those who are walking and riding their bikes.

3. The Elkton Post Office is now open! Please use the door at the end of the ramp on the left side of the building to enter. They are going to begin work to add the new section as well as pave the parking lot.

5. We all love our furry friends, but we must also be responsible and pick up their waste. Please alert office staff if the dog park is out of “doggy bags.”

6. Also in regards to our furry friends, please make sure your dog is leashed at ALL times. It is important for their safety and that of our residents.

7. Some residents have reported suspicious phone calls from someone claiming to be part of Coquina Crossing’s office staff. If you receive such a call, please take down the caller’s phone number and alert our office staff immediately.

8. If you are a new resident (since June), please see Twyla for your official Coquina Crossing name tag.
