It is great to see all the Members enjoying themselves around the Club. When we are on tours with prospective Members and Homeowners, we love to show them all the different Club activities and everyone having a fun time. It is clear that Toscana is the place to be!

The activity in the Sales Center continues to be very busy. In March, we had over 800 guests visit the Sales Center. In addition, there have been 26 real estate sales so far in 2013 for over $40,000,000 in total sales volume.

The Toscana Sales Team continues to be the overall volume leader in Toscana with 96% (25) of all the transactions in 2013 including 15 resales! See below for the complete summary of the sales activity and other highlights:

• 16 resale homes and estate homesites (15 sold by Toscana).
• 8 new Sunrise homesites for to-be-built homes.
• 2 new completed or under construction Sunrise Signature Homes.

The April Guest Weekend was a huge success with 77 Guests attending! It was a wonderful way for guests to experience Toscana for a weekend. Thank you to each of our Members who invited guests for both of our Guest Weekend events in 2013 and to those whocontinue referring friends and family who are looking for a great Club, a great membership and outstanding real estate values!

With your help, we are well on our way to accomplishing 50 new homesites that will trigger the start of the final eight holes on the North Course.
