“It’s paradise. The grounds are beautiful. The people are so nice. There's great security. We have great community,” said Sandy Swindal, a new resident attending her first party at Seaplace.
The event planning committee, headed by June Hessel, took the whole morning to decorate the clubhouse and prepare for everyone to come. The committee plans for every major holiday, along with other special events that happen throughout the year, such as the start of season in Longboat Key, the Kentucky Derby, a Seaplace golf tournament, and a Seaplace art show.
“Seaplace is like a home to me, and I have known most of these people for 30 some years,” said Nancy Chanoso of building connections with her fellow residents.
Chanos explained that her friends at Seaplace have become family, sharing holidays such as the Fourth and everyday life together as well. Chanos loves life on Longboat Key so much she invited her son to come down to join her.
There was a whole spread of classic Fourth of July favorites such as hot dogs and hamburgers, which were cooked on the grill by different residents. Inside, there was an assortment of sweets.
People sat with friends they have known for many years and made due to events like this one.
“The community is so wonderful and warm, very welcoming. They welcome everyone there. They're very supportive,” said Sandy Endres, who writes the Seaplace newsletter. “We have so many events here and they love the events.”
