Greetings
from Barkley. Many residents have reported that they have
received the coronavirus vaccination in recent weeks, however,
social activities remain very limited. In an effort to get
residents safely together, our own John Alexander sang an
array of classic songs at an outdoor gathering. John used
recorded music to accompany his singing. We were appreciative of
his talent and presentation.
The
"snowbird" season is ending soon and our winter
residents are beginning to head back north. All are hoping for a
more socially active and productive 2022 season.
The
Cresthaven Stamp Club meets at Barkley on the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. The TOPS Club meets every
Wednesday in the clubhouse at 8:30 a.m. See the Barkley website
at "www.barkleyvillas.org" for current events.

Greetings
from Barkley. Thankfully, many residents are reporting that they
have received the coronavirus vaccination in recent weeks, and
feel more confident and comfortable in their social
interactions. Hand washing, social distancing, and face masks
continue to be required in the clubhouse commons.
The
West Palm Beach Stamp & Postcard Show, sponsored by the
Cresthaven Stamp Club, was held on Saturday, March 20th in the
Barkley clubhouse auditorium. Several Florida members of the
American Stamp Dealers Association participated in this
successful and well-attended endeavor. This was the first 2021
philatelic show in the state of Florida, and it drew some
nationally recognized experts who were able to discuss various
aspects of the hobby with collectors.
The
Barkley TOPS group continues to meet here every Wednesday
morning at 8:30 a.m. The Cresthaven Stamp Club meets here
regularly on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 1:00
p.m. See the Barkley website at "www.barkleyvillas.org"
for current activities. |

Greetings
from Barkley. With social activities limited to our swimming
pool and bocce games, several residents have turned to
gardening. A volunteer group is sprucing up villa commons by
planting shrubs and flowers. The group, led by newly elected
vice-president Cathy Zuback, is continuing an earlier
association-wide planting of 240 flowering shrubs, funded by the
Barkley Women’s Club, Men’s Club, and Bingo Committees.
Social
distancing, masks, and hand-washing are still the norm at
Barkley. Thankfully, many residents have now received the
COVID-19 vaccination. They are looking forward to the group
gatherings, including fish-fry dinners, dances, and
entertainment, next season.
The
Barkley TOPS group continues to meet here every Wednesday
morning at 8:30 a.m. The Cresthaven Stamp Club is sponsoring the
"West Palm Beach Stamp & Postcard Show" in the
clubhouse auditorium on Saturday, March 20, 2021, from 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Free parking and admission. The stamp club
meets here regularly on the second and fourth Tuesday of each
month at 1:00 p.m. |

Greetings
from Barkley. Ever since Governor Ron DeSantis’ declared a
State of Emergency in March, 2020, activities at our community
have been severely curtailed. Scheduled events were cancelled
while residents have attempted to ride out the pandemic and get
vaccinated. Many of our Canadian friends were unable to make the
trip south this year.
Barkley
is on a slow path to normal operations. In January, the
association held its masked and socially-distanced annual
meeting. Kevin OBryan was elected president; Cathy
Zuback, vice-president; Joanne Grecco, Secretary;
David Hextell, Treasurer; and, Michael Swope,
Secretary Pro Tem.
