FORT MYERS, FL (December 8, 2009)  –Shell Point Retirement Community recently unveiled a new addition to the community, The Friendly Dog Park. Located in The Woodlands neighborhood, the dog park offers Shell Point residents a place to take their pets and allow them to be off the leash while they enjoy freedom, fresh air, and the opportunity to play with other dogs.

A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held to officially welcome the first visitors to the park, and the dogs took full advantage of the fenced area to chase each other, stopping occasionally for a drink from the custom auto-fill water bowl station. Benches line the park, so that residents can sit and relax while their dogs enjoy the outdoors. A shade structure will be installed shortly to provide visitors shelter from direct sunlight.

FORT MYERS, FL (December 3, 2009) – On Monday, November 30, FineMark National Bank and Trust held the Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Shell Point Retirement Community to celebrate the completion of their newly renovated facility. As of June 15, FineMark Bank started offering on-site banking services to residents, employees, and the public at Shell Point Retirement Community.

The $300,000 renovation included upgrading the interior décor and enlarging the lobby area so that it would be more inviting and spacious for banking clients. The interior designer, Connie Davidson from Robb & Stucky, created an “old Florida” feel by commissioning artist Christine Adele Moore to paint a mural depicting a Florida wetlands area as a focal point on one wall. This theme was also incorporated in the furnishings and finishes used throughout the bank’s new interior to create a resort-like atmosphere which utilized medium wood tones, combined with rattan and bamboo accents, and offset by cool contemporary furnishings and accessories.
