Education is a top priority for the area’s parents and educators in St. Johns County Schools. A great example of this commitment is found in Mill Creek Elementary Principal Amanda Riedl. We recently caught up with Amanda to learn more about her background and her dedication to providing the best in academic excellence to local students.
Having grown up in the panhandle’s Okaloosa County, Amanda is a Floridian through and through. After earning her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, she and her husband relocated to Kansas City, Missouri. In addition to learning to live and drive in snow for the first time, Amanda pursued her passion for education with the North Kansas City School District.
When it comes to top quality craft brews, great times with friends, and live local music in St. Augustine, Mile Marker Brewing has truly made a name for itself.
As the only full-scale commercial brewery in America’s oldest city, Mile Marker and its micro-brewed beers have earned a reputation for unwavering quality. In fact, earlier this year, brewery owners attended the 2013 Best Florida Beer Championships in Tampa, and brought home a gold medal for Mile Marker Zero Blonde Ale, silver medal for Mile Marker 1565 Ancient City Red Ale®, and bronze medal for Mile Marker 70 Palm Beach Coconut Porter .
As many of my fishing buddies and World Golf Village neighbors know, our area offers a wide variety of ramps to get your boat in the water. I have a 22-foot Nautic Star Bay Boat with a Yamaha 150-4 stroke outboard that enables me to fish a variety of locations within the Intracoastal and bottom fish in the ocean. I love spending the day on the water with some friends and grabbing lunch or dinner at some of the best eateries in town.
Serenata Beach Club is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful summer skies, and also keep everyone in the family entertained with amenities and activities galore! Located between Jacksonville and St. Augustine in South Ponte Vedra Beach, this private beach club is just 15 minutes for Ponte Vedra residents, 20 minutes from many North Florida communities, including World Golf Village, Nocatee, Palencia, Murabella and Kensington, and 30 minutes from Julington Creek. What’s more is a membership is more affordable than you think.
As previously mentioned, the formal closing of the WGV Partners and related start date was in August, 1996. The projected first phase costs were in excess of $350,000,000 and included the following:
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Davidson Cares 2.0! Davidson Realty and the Davidson Companies’ successful corporate giving program demonstrates our commitment to local education, and this year’s program promises to have an even greater impact than last year.
Our program provides financial support to schools in the World Golf Village area, including Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School. During the 2012-2013 school year we raised a total of $11,300 in less than six months for the four schools. This year’s bar is set even higher!
St. Andrews Place is a private neighborhood made up of only 64 patio homes located on the Slammer & Squire side of The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village. St. Andrews is only minutes from The Village where you can check out the latest IMAX movie or grab dinner at Villagio Italian Grille. It is also conveniently located near 1-95, so you can travel to Jacksonville or downtown St. Augustine in no time. The community offers its residents secure concrete block homes perfect for retirees, empty nesters or second homeowners. Lawn maintenance and irrigation are included in Homeowners Association fees, so residents have all the freedom and benefits of a single-family home ownership without the hassle of yard maintenance.
Whether through work, community service, or just being a great neighbor, each of World Golf Village’s treasured residents give back to their community in their own ways. Royal Pines resident Fred Odom is extraordinary because his efforts have benefited the area in each of these ways.
He serves on the Boards of Royal Pines Homeowners Association and Gateway Community Center in Jacksonville, in addition to dedicating time to several professional associations. We recently caught up with Fred to get to know a little more about him and his background.
Q: From where do you hail and what brought you to St. Augustine?I am originally from Waycross, Georgia, but I have travelled around the world 65 times, so you say I am resident of the world. I came to St. Augustine because of World Golf Village.
Tropical Smoothie is now open in The Shoppes at Murabella! It came at the perfect time when the beach and an ice-cold smoothie are calling your name. I think I can speak for most of my World Golf Village neighbors when I say how excited I am to have a healthy and delicious restaurant right outside the King & Bear gate.
“Eat Better. Feel Better.” Tropical Smoothie offers fresh food including breakfast, salads, wraps, sandwiches and flatbreads along with real fruit smoothies. My personal favorite is the Peaches N’ Silk with fresh peaches, strawberries and bananas, but you have your pick from low fat smoothies, supercharged smoothies or simply indulgent smoothies. Don’t forget to add in supplements for that extra boost! They offer everything from energizer supplements to stress defense supplements.
One of my favorite things about living in St. Augustine is the multitude of fishing opportunities in our area. Because we have vast bodies of water surrounding us including the St. Johns River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean, there are a variety of opportunities for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. We are also very lucky to have local fishing stores that are more than happy to help with tackle and local knowledge. Not to mention, local forums offering information and insight on both fishing locations and equipment.
