Dear Neighbors,
As the kids head back to school and summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with our community. We all have busy and hectic lives, but our neighborhood remains a place where we can come together, support one another, and celebrate what truly matters: family, friendship, safety, and belonging.
Welcoming new neighbors into our streets and driveways is one of the best ways to strengthen that sense of connection, reminding us that Old Ponte Vedra Beach is more than just houses—it’s a family of friends. Let’s take the time to greet each other with a smile, reconnect with old neighbors, introduce ourselves to those who’ve recently moved in, and make them feel welcome—keeping our community spirit alive and thriving.
We are excited to share that 2026 will mark the 80th birthday of the Ponte Vedra Community Association! Since our founding in 1946 with just 44 families, we’ve grown into a vibrant neighborhood bound together by traditions, shared experiences, and a love for our beachside community. We have big plans for this milestone year, with special events, commemorative keepsakes, and opportunities to celebrate together. Our Annual Board Meeting in May 2026 will also serve as our official 80th Birthday Celebration—a perfect chance to reflect on our history and look ahead to our future.
But the foundation of our success—and the heart of our celebrations—comes from you, our members. That’s why we’re kicking off our 2025–2026 Membership Drive right now. By renewing or joining today, you’ll ensure you don’t miss a moment of what’s ahead, including:
• Three signature social events each year at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, including our Tree Lighting Ceremony with Santa & Mrs. Claus, Sweetheart Dinner & Dance, and Annual Board Meeting / 80th Birthday Celebration.
• Access to our members-only website with event information, neighborhood updates, public safety contacts, and our digital membership directory.
• Our monthly e-newsletter with timely updates on local, county, and state matters.
• A unified voice on issues affecting our neighborhood.
• The warm welcome and ongoing connection offered by our Membership Committee and Block Captains.
We are also looking for Block Captains—friendly, welcoming neighbors who can help greet new residents and ensure they feel at home right away. If you’re interested in becoming a Block Captain, please reach out to us!
Membership is just $125 per year, and joining is simple:
1. Visit www.pontevedraca.org
2. Log in (or create an account if you’re new)
3. Click Renew Membership or Join Now and follow the prompts; be sure to scroll both up & down on your screen to make sure you don't miss any of the prompts.
The PVCA is about more than events and updates—it’s about preserving the charm, traditions, and quality of life that make Old Ponte Vedra Beach so special. As we approach our 80th year, let’s recommit to keeping our neighborhood strong, welcoming, and connected.
We look forward to celebrating with you this year and for many more to come.
Warm regards,
Lori Wells
President, Ponte Vedra Community Association
