Like many other adult communities, Vantage Pointe offers planned activities, taking advantage of the beautiful club house, swimming pool and shuffle board court. While browsing through Vantage Pointe's website, I discovered there is a Polar Bear Club ,meeting at 4:00 PM at the pool any day the temperatures drop below 45 degrees F. How cool is that? Pun intended! If that is too cold for you, join the Water Volleyball team at 3 - 4 PM on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. If the pool is not your cup of tea, there is a line dancing group, daily coffee hour, of course BINGO. Every holiday is commemorated with a themed brunch or dinner. It's hard to imagine anyone ever gets bored in Vantage Pointe. Next on the Calendar of Event is Labor Day Dinner on Monday, September 7th. Cocktails at 3:30pm, dinner at 4:00pm.
