Message from General Manager Town Center Pelican Preserver is extremely excited for what is sure to be a great season and based on our recent activity levels, it is sure to be a busy season! We are so happy to welcome back our seasonal Residents. You may have noticed recent improvements at the Town Center—the new exterior paint, promenade and pool furniture. In November, Residents will see improvements to the outdoor pool and spas when all areas are resurfaced. Stay tuned for more improvements as we move into 2014. Pelican Preserve’s Destinations welcomed Chef Jay Herman to our team who brings a wealth of experience and passion for cooking. Many of you have probably enjoyed some of Chef Jay’s new concepts and dishes that are featured as weekly specials and have been very well received! Jay will introduce a new menu towards the end of November or early December. If you haven’t been to Destinations lately, make a reservation and enjoy the new culinary experience!
