While most clubs had a dramatic decrease in their Lifestyle Events during COVID. This was not the case for this Naples, Florida HOA. With the use of Zoom and a lot of creativity, they had a very active Lifestyle Program. Everything from The Lanai Concert Series (outside), Trivia, Photo Scavanger Hunts and Castaway BINGO. The BINGO was named after the Castaway Movie starring Tom Hanks. As It was stranded alone in the Oasis (name of amenity). We played for such valuables as Toilet Paper (remember when there was a shortage of it) and Mark would talk to his companioin Wilson, a volleyball just like was used in the movie.

One of the most popular programs, before and during COVID, was The Gator Sip. Where the residents formed a conga line behind Mark's cart and they would venture out after hours on the golf course.

When a resident saw a gator in one of the ponds, they would honk, point and everyone would take a sip of their favorite adult beverage!

As the event became more popular, up to 75 carts, before we went on the course we would sing Happy Birthday and honor those who had anniversaries. Mark would bring out cupcakes on a plate to their cart, sitting it 6' away.

Many in the community chose to participate in another way, waiting in their lanai's, having dinner and waving to their friends as the giant conga line of golf carts passed their house.
