Exciting news! After a difficult season, we are extending our Activities calendar to continue through the off season. Please be on the lookout for event flyers for sip and dips at the pool, happy hours in the ballroom, upcoming holiday events and much, much more!
We also want to remind you that, as always, any resident can organize their own events in the public spaces so long as the proper documentation is completed and vetted for approval in advance by management – subject to availability. Please contact the Activity Department at 956-782-3263 for more information on what is required to do so.
And last, but not least, CARD GAMES are now being allowed in our buildings! As with any indoor activities, please keep in mind that all posted safety requirements and room occupancies are still in effect. You may want to temporarily consider moving your activity or event to a larger room or space in the resort until room occupancies go back to normal. Please let us know what we can do to help you.
We are excited to share this info with you and look forward to hearing from you!
Just a friendly reminder for all residents: Please do not feed stray/feral cats in the Resort. It is a violation of Resort Policy to feed any stray animals, on your site or on any other site. Please respect others in the Resort and do not feed animals on other residents sites.
While a small amount of feral cats are good for the ecosystem of the Resort, there must be a balance. Uncontrolled feeding of a stray animal, cat or otherwise, creates an imbalance.
There is dedicated group of residents in the resort who help manage this balance and take the time to feed them in specific areas of the Resort for the purposes of catching them and spaying/neutering them, clipping an ear for identification and tracking purposes, as well as finding homes for them when the population gets too large. If you are not a part of this group, please do not feed stray animals.
If you would like to know more about how this balance is achieved, please contact vpstraycats@gmail.com for more info. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This past Saturday, Victoria Palms held its first RC drag race event, which was a great success!. While RC drag racing is very popular in the Valley, our resort has been one of the first to host this kind of event. It was organized by a pair of wonderful residents, Jamie and Sheri Gideon and was sponsored by our local RC experts, New Sun Racing. Concession was available and prizes were awarded to all of the winners. We love working with residents and sponsors to make fun events like this happen and we truly appreciate all the efforts that were made.
If you are interested in getting into the RC hobby, please consider attending the RC swap meet that will be held Saturday, May 15th. Read more about it here: https://vpractivities.com/2021/05/04/rc-swap-meet/

We’ve come to the end! The last pine has been cut today and all cut piles are scheduled to be removed no later than Friday, 5.7.21. Please be cautious around areas where the crew is working and the piles of pine tree pieces that have been cut. Resort Management will be working with the contractor for the rest of the week to verify any other related work that needs to be done such as filling a couple ruts made by the lift, replacing a couple broken landscape timbers and patching a small piece of concrete.
Thank you for your patience while we completed this very important project. If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to email management at victoriapalms_mgr@equitylifestyle.com
The USPS has not delivered mail yet today. They continue to have staffing issues that are affecting delivery. Please be advised that this will, in turn, affect mail distribution to your boxes. Thank you for your patience while we await delivery.
Cutting continues today on Margaret Dr and will continue West. Work slowed down yesterday, as the contractor had to take their time with some pines in difficult locations.
For those who haven’t had a chance to see the process, one crew is cutting down the trees and another crew comes after to pick up the trunks and brush, usually within 24-48 hours. Please be cautious around areas where the crew is working and the piles of pine tree pieces that have been cut.
