Wynmoor Community Council

Wynmoor Community Council, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation that was set up in 1974, and you'll find it at 1310 Avenue of the Stars in Coconut Creek, which folks sometimes call Pompano Beach, about six miles from the beaches and near the turnpike, and though there are many senior communities in South Florida, this one's got over 9,000 people living across 44 condo associations, with 5,260 units in all, and everything is run by a 44-member Board, with each condo sending one representative, and you'll see the grounds and buildings kept up by a staff of more than 200 people, including employees like Daryl Johnson for grounds, and inside offices you've got people like Beatriz Goycochea as Community Association Manager and Abbey Lauth, the Administrative Assistant, plus Jackie Railey serves as President, Selma Bass and Ronny Sydney are Vice Presidents, Frederick Stein is Treasurer, Alan Wagner is Secretary, while other Vice Presidents are Robert Moore and David Mintzes, and Bruce Bandler is the registered agent, with the group staying in good legal standing, reporting every year, and making amendments as far back as 1995.

Wynmoor focuses a lot on environmental services, and they manage the lawns, trees, shrubs, and irrigation, along with the golf course and landscaping, and you'll see the pool and fitness center are open to residents, with a racquet complex, walking and main pools, clubhouse, a café called Café on the Green, plus a business center and art and event rooms that anyone can use if they live there, and when it comes to fun, there are social activities, fitness and recreation programs, trips, and classes, and the theatre always puts on a show schedule with plays, live music, dances, fine arts events, Saturday night fun, and Sunday bands playing out by the pool.

Security is handled with a dedicated office, guest dispatch, and an emergency number, and there's on-call bus transportation, which is pretty important with so many folks coming and going or needing a ride for groceries or events, and inside the Registration Office, new residents go through registering vehicles and putting bar codes on cars so everything stays organized, and you'll find resident documents and even wind mitigation reports online if someone wants to look them up. Community Council looks after all the amenities, keeps the official records for all the condominiums, helps educate directors and residents on living by the Florida Condominium Act and the rules, mediates when there's a problem between associations or residents, and steps in when a condo director gets stuck, also reviewing all requests to sell or lease apartments, so everything runs smooth and above board.

The Recreation Office is always busy with trips, clubs, special events, and they do a newsletter called News & Views that keeps everyone updated, and the Board and staff continue maintaining the facilities like the theatre, golf course with the pro shop, tennis courts, pools, and fitness center. Owners share responsibility for amenities, upkeep, and decisions-every one of the 5,260 unit owners has a hand in running the place. Wynmoor is considered an active adult and retirement community, offering community health programs, Med Wynmoor, and resources for long-term care or caregiving, and the environment's geared both for relaxation and active pursuits, whether that's enjoying the gardens, attending a show, playing a round of golf, or joining a class or social group, and most folks find the facilities well maintained and the grounds professionally landscaped. The community's received positive reviews, with a 4.7-star rating from residents, and that probably reflects the balance here between services, recreation, oversight, and the ability to meet the needs of a big, vibrant retirement community.
