Welcome to Sorrento South!

Welcome to the website of the homeowners' association of Sorrento South Subdivision in Nokomis, Florida.

Purpose

The general object and purpose of this corporation shall be to provide social and recreational activities, promote the welfare, comfort and health of its members, and maintain property values in Sorrento South Subdivision located in Sarasota County, Florida.

Annual Meeting Held

gavel The annual meeting of the Sorrento South Property Owners was conducted on November 18, 2009 at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Nokomis. Forty of our 123 properties were represented in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum.

President Debe Van Pelt delivered a report of Board activities and property information, including Sorrento South home sales, foreclosures, architectural reviews for roof replacements, newsletter publication, and the Association’s participation in community organizations such as the Nokomis Area Civic Association (NACA) and the Sarasota County Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA). Debe also noted that a negotiating team consisting of her, Dr. Eric Lough, and Jim Granger, met twice with a negotiating team from the Sorrento Dock Owners’ Association (SDOA) and that a tentative agreement had been reached regarding management of the marina. The Agreement was sent to the attorneys for final review.

Dock Owners to Meet

time The next general meeting of the SDOA membership is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on February 16, 2010, at the Sorrento Clubhouse. This semi-annual meeting will include the election of directors and officers. SSPO Director Joy Mahler will represent the interests of non-dock owners living in Sorrento South.

Thank You, Nancy

You know from reading our newsletter how difficult it is to find people willing to serve on our Board or even on committees. There certainly is no financial incentive, and most owners will tell you that they simply don’t have the time. Or perhaps they have served a two-year Board term in the past and believe that should suffice for a lifetime. So it’s rare, indeed, to find someone who volunteers to serve without being asked, especially when it’s not for the first time.

Nancy Rogers moved to Sorrento South in 1995, served on the Board in the late 1990’s, and returned in November 2003 to serve another three terms. She also was appointed to serve on the SDOA Board to represent the interests of the Sorrento South property owners who do not own a dock in the Marina. When there was work to be done, Nancy was always ready to do it. No job was too small or too difficult. Take, for example, her willingness to find and work with professional electricians to light our new entrance signs, which included boring and running cable under Lychee and Cavallini. Few of us would feel qualified to take on such a project, especially with Sarasota County looking over your shoulder. What Nancy probably didn’t realize then was that she would spend the remainder of her time on the Board as the official replacer of burned-out light bulbs.

Election of Officers

Association officers for 2010 were elected at the December meeting of the Board of Directors. Debe Van Pelt will continue as President; Joy Mahler will serve as Vice President; Ann Piscitelli was elected Secretary; and Mike Hankin will continue as Treasurer.

Condolences

We regret to inform you of the death of Greta Baron, 460 Bellini Circle, on January 16, 2010. Services will be at a later date in New York. She is survived by her sons Robert (who lived with his mother) and John; daughters Susan and Cynthia; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Greta, age 90, was a longtime resident of Sorrento South.

We have learned of the passing of another longtime resident, Clinton McCall (475 Picasso), on November 28, 2009. Clint was born in Jacksonville in 1937 and came to Nokomis in 1988. He was the owner of a software company. Survivors include his wife Anne, sons Michael and Clinton III; daughter Abigail; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. No services are planned.

Our sincere condolences to the families of Greta Baron and Clint McCall.
