    "Oh wow, there are so many! Water aerobics and pickleball meet ups in the community pool and pickleball court three times a week are great, aswell as crafting at the clubhouse twice a month. My favorite however is the Domani neighbourhood garage sale followed by lunch at the clubhouse, but I cant forget to mention the bingo nights, halloween, labor day residents pot luck and chili cook off contest and so many more monthly get togethers.
