FORT MYERS,
Fla. (September 11, 2007) - Shell Point Retirement Community held the official
grand opening last Friday, September 7, for the recently renovated courtyard
garden of the Mid-Rise Courts. President, Peter Dys, and Vice President of
Operations, Timothy Ficker, officiated the ribbon cutting ceremony in front of
more than 250 Shell Point Residents of the Mid-Rise buildings and their guests.
The Mid-Rises are comprised of three 4-story buildings on the north end of the
island at Shell Point overlooking the Caloosahatchee River.
During the ceremony, Tim Ficker, introduced representatives from Junonia, Turban
and Lucina Mid-Rise buildings and thanked all of the residents for their
patience during the construction process. He also recognized the staff
members and partner organizations who worked so hard to complete the project
within the set budget and time guidelines.
"This courtyard has added such a wonderful element to the Mid-Rise Buildings, so that
the residents can sit and enjoy nature either on their own, or visit the
courtyard with their friends and families," said Ficker. The new courtyard
garden is anchored on both ends by cascading waterfalls. A serene
fountain is the focal point of the garden which features meandering pathways,
shady areas for seating and a beautiful sculpture in the center, all surrounded
by some of the most beautiful landscaping
