Huntington Pointe Residents
Huntington Pointe is a 55 and over community, which has a beautiful, renovated clubhouse, a very nice cafe, a modern gym, a dance studio, 5 pools [1 indoor] , tennis and pickleball courts, and a gorgeous 600 seat theater. But more importantly, wonderful people live @ HP, which has a sense of togetherness and a spirit one cannot simply define with words.
HPresidents is not the official HP website, where you should go if you need specific HP information such as the following. If you want to fill out a work order, get BOD meeting dates and times, request elevator pads, or buy tickets for a show, please go to the official HP website.

PICKLEBALL COURT PROJECT WAS APPROVED
On Monday July 20th, HPA President Mark Donovan announced the pickleball project was approved by Palm Beach County, and it may start this week. The project is converting the 5 tennis courts we currently have, into 10 Pickleball Courts. This is a great idea and a huge plus for HP. Pickleball is incredibly popular, not only at HP, but all over Florida. Pickleball is growing rapidly while interest in Tennis is fading rapidly.
Every time I visit the Pickleball Courts in the morning, they are packed with players on the court, and more waiting to play. As for tennis, there are very few players, so they only use 1 of the 5 courts. When this project is completed. I’m hoping every resident at HP, who loves Pickleball, will be able to play without having to wait.
HAR TRU TENNIS COURT PROJECT APPROVED
Unfortunately, this project was also approved by Palm Beach County. I am predicting this will turn into a financial nightmare for our community. As Todd, our outstanding Landscaper advised, several communities around south Florida, where he handles their landscaping, are doing everything they can to get rid of their Har Tru Tennis Courts.
Why? Because they are a never-ending major expense.
When this issue was debated at HP, the fix was in. The man in charge of the major HPA board meeting only invited professionals, who were in favor of Har Tru, to speak. I know for a fact that 2 veteran tennis court salesman were not allowed to speak at that board meeting in favor of rubber cushioned asphalt courts. That was an HP disgrace.
I will say more on this topic later today.
WHY AM I ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO HAR TRU TENNIS COURTS?
There are two primary reasons. Number one, they are extremely expensive to maintain and will cause major expenses down the road. Number two, there is a much superior option, rubber cushioned asphalt courts.
Let’s examine the above and several other reasons for my opposition.
- Har Tru Courts require expensive maintenance 365 days per year or else they deteriorate rapidly.
- We are building underground sprinkler systems. If something goes wrong with the sprinkler system, and that does happen in south Florida, we will have to tear up the Har Tru courts to repair the system.
- Guess what happens after we tear up the courts? That’s right, we will have to rebuild them. How much money will that cost?
- We have very few tennis players. We currently have 5 tennis courts, and they only use 1 court each day of the week. Occasionally, they may use two courts. Pickleball is far more popular than tennis and is growing in popularity every day.
- Our outstanding Landscaper Todd, does landscaping all over south Florida. He advised that several of the communities he services, are doing everything they can to get rid of Har Tru. Why? Because they are so expensive to maintain.
- When HP was debating the Har Tru Tennis court issue, the HPA board member in charge of the presentations, refused to invite two tennis court experts, who were in favor of rubber cushioned tennis courts at HP. He only invited professionals who were in favor of Har Tru tennis courts.
- Rubber cushioned, asphalt courts are state of the art. They were chosen for both The U.S. Open, and the Australian Open.
- Here in Delray Beach, the main court at Delray Tennis Stadium is an asphalt, rubber cushioned court.
- Unlike Har Tru courts, which require expensive maintenance 365 days a year, once you build an asphalt, rubber cushioned court, there is virtually zero maintenance.
PALM BEACH COUNTY PROPERTY FRAUD ALERT WEBSITE
On June 8, 2026, Mike Caruso, Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Comptroller of Palm Beach County, made an hour-long speech at the HP ballroom, in front of a very large crowd. It was a very interesting presentation. Mike was there to warn us about a new type of crime spreading in Palm Beach and other Florida counties. Instead of physically breaking into your home, these new, sophisticated thieves, are stealing property at a growing rate.
I’m not positive, but I think he said there were about a dozen thefts of property two years ago, about 38 last year, and in 2026, it’s already approaching 100 thefts. But the main point is the following, this type of crime is spreading, and you need to protect yourself.
What these thieves do is download your public information from Palm Beach County websites and cleverly find a way to take control of your property. If they succeed, they will eventually sell it without your knowledge. The Palm Beach County Property Fraud Alert website, developed a way for you to be immediately warned if someone tries to get into your county’s property records.
Many of your neighbors signed up for this protection at the meeting Monday. However, you can sign up yourself. It takes about 5 minutes of your time and you will need your 17-digit Property Control Number. It looks something like this;
00-48-46-17-23-132-2040
If you don’t have your control number, visit the Palm Beach Country Tax Collector’s website, enter your name in the Search Criteria, and your unit’s information will show up, with the 17-digit Property Control Number. Here is the link to the Palm Beach Country Tax Collector Site. Please note, this is NOT where you sign up for the warning. The sole purpose of going to this site is to get your Palm Beach Country Property Control number. https://www.pbctax.gov/taxes/
- At the top of the screen, click on PAY ONLINE
- Click the Blue Palm Beach Country Property Tax icon
- Enter your last name in the Search Criteria.
- You should then see your 17-digit Property Control Number
Once you have that number, visit the Palm Beach County Property Fraud Alert site and sign up for an immediate warning if someone tries to do anything to the country records for your home.
Here is the link: https://erec.mypalmbeachclerk.com/FraudAlert
Once you are on the site, it takes about 4-5 minutes to register for the Property Fraud Alert. Take your time and ensure all the information you enter is accurate. If you successfully completed the registration, you will receive an email confirmation from Palm Beach Country. If you don’t receive that email confirmation, you did not successfully complete the process.
DISNEY WORLD and UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
Huntington Pointe is only a 3-hour drive from the Orlando area. I haven’t been there in several years and forgot how magical and special the experience is. I spent last week at Disney World and Universal, where I had tons of fun. The atmosphere at both parks is incredibly upbeat and everybody is so friendly. Everywhere you turn, people are laughing and having a great time.
There’s one exception, as girls are not LOL when they are on one of the bad ass roller coasters at Disney and Universal, they are screaming. I love it!
I am not a roller coaster wimp, I love roller coasters, and I’ve been riding them all my life. Both Disney and Universal have some of the best rides on the planet. On more than one occasion, I was literally terrified, but that’s what makes roller coasters so much fun. They make you feel as if it’s all over and then bring you back to safety. I would say they have some of scariest roller coasters I ever experienced!
Disney also has something ultra cool, “Simulator Rides”. Your car is stationary, or moving in slow motion, but they use state-of-the-art technology to make you feel as if you are flying through space, avoiding one scare after another. Another term is “Virtual Rides”.
EPCOT, which I describe as Disney World for Adults, has an array of pavilions for many of the countries on our planet. I highly recommend going to Canada, where they have a gigantic 360-degree video of Canada. China also has a similar, large 360-degree video about their country.
Disney, at EPCOT, also offers fireworks every night at 9 PM.
Of course, we all know perfection is a rarity in life. And that is definitely true about going to Disney World or Universal Studios. The cost of tickets is outrageous. My 2-day Disney pass for EPCOT, and then ANIMAL KINGDOM, cost $200. And that was after receiving the Florida resident discount. Unbelievable!
But it gets worse. One would think after paying so much for your ticket, parking would be included in the cost. No way! Both theme parks charge an outrageous $35 just to park your car.
Even worse than the cost of tickets and parking, are the lines. Waiting online for the animal safari, a roller coaster, or a simulator ride was anywhere from 45-60 minutes. That was horrible.
But despite the negatives described above, Disney and Universal are quite unique. There are very few places on this planet which generate so much fun, excitement, and make you feel as if you are in very special place. Believe me, they are indeed magical and very special places to visit and hang out.
I attached just some of the many photos I took last week. If you enjoy theme parks, exciting rides, and want to be part of a fabulous, fun-filled atmosphere, I highly recommend a 3-hour drive to the Orlando area.
KRUSH PARTY BAND @ DELRAY MARKETPLACE MARCH 25, 2026
Wow! I’ve been going to Delray Marketplace shows for years, but last night was far and away the greatest show ever. The weather was perfect, the crowd was huge, and the band was phenomenal. The dance floor was literally packed for two hours straight. They played only one song I didn’t like.
Here’s just a small sample of the songs they played. My Girl, Just My Imagination, Tennessee Whiskey, Miss You from the Rolling Stones, Play That Funky Music White Boy, etc.
Betty Padgett, who performed at HP only a couple of weeks ago, was featured on many of the songs.
There was a large contingent of HP residents at the show, hanging out on the dance floor, LOL and thoroughly enjoying themselves. I have many photos from last night, which will hopefully show you how much fun everyone was having. Go the menu at the top of the page and select KRUSH PARTY BAND @ DELRAY MARKETPLACE – MARCH 2026.
MARK DONOVAN THANK YOU LETTER TO PHASE II RESIDENTS
Tuesday March 24, 2026
Good Morning:
Mark Donovan is one of the finest people I ever met in Huntington Pointe. He doesn’t have to, but he dedicates himself to working for the community as a Phase II board member. I cannot count the number of times I’ve received a phone call, or an email, from a Phase II resident, who was genuinely impressed with both his efforts to serve, but also his accomplishments as a board member.
They also love the fact that he listens to the concerns of the residents.
Mark sent this letter to me and asked me to send it to the “Usual Suspects” and to also post it on my website. Needless to say, I am happy to help him in any way possible.
MARK DONOVAN THANK YOU LETTER TO PHASE II RESIDENTS
To the Residents of Huntington Pointe – Phase II
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I feel it is important to take a moment to personally express my sincere gratitude to the residents of Huntington Pointe Phase 2 for the kindness, encouragement, and support so many of you have shown me.
Serving this community has never been something I viewed as an obligation, it has been something I have truly cared about. Over the years, I have tried to give my time, energy, and voice to the things that matter most to our residents: fairness, transparency, respect for one another, and preserving the spirit that makes Huntington Pointe such a special place to live.
Many of you have stopped me in the parking lot, spoken with me at community events, or simply taken a moment to say thank you for the work I have tried to do for our neighborhood. Those moments mean more than you may realize. When people take the time to express appreciation, it reminds you that the effort, the hours, and sometimes the difficult conversations are worth it.
What has touched me the most is the genuine warmth confidence and encouragement that has come from so many of you in Phase II and beyond . Your words, your support, and the trust you have shown have been deeply meaningful to me. It has reminded me why community service matters and why people step forward to try to make things better.
Huntington Pointe is not just buildings and property. It is people. It is neighbors looking out for one another. It is residents who care enough to speak up, participate, to protect and support those who are trying to contribute positively to the community.
Your support has strengthened my commitment to that work, and I want you to know that it has not gone unnoticed. I am truly grateful for the respect and appreciation that many of you have shared with me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It is an honor to be part of this community and to stand alongside neighbors who care as much as you do about the place we all call home, and to look out for that home and investment to the best of my abilities.
With sincere gratitude,
Mark Donovan
POINT NUMBER TWO
KRUSH PARTY BAND in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH at the TIN ROOF
Their contract is over. However, recently, on Wednesday evenings, from 7-10 PM, the fabulous Krush Party Band performed at the Tin Roof. If you love Disco and Motown, I think they are far and away, the best band in south Florida. So far, from my perspective, the crowds have been relatively small, but they were always on the dance floor all evening. Here are some of the songs they sang, plus several photos. “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” / “Just My Imagination”/”My Girl”/ “Play That Funky Music White Boy”/ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”/ “Love Train”/ “Tennessee Whiskey”.
NEW DISCO CLUB in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH
If you love dancing, and if you loved the Disco Era, you definitely should visit this new club. I have information and photos on the page called “DISCO CLUB: GOOD NIGHT JOHN BOY”. Select that page from the menu above. Here are just 3 photos to get your attention.
DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2025
REVIBE – DANCE PARTY MUSIC
The crowd was large, the weathers was perfect, the atmosphere was terrific, but Revibe, despite advertising themselves as “Dance Party Music”, didn’t play a single dance song. However, despite the lack of disco music, my brother did his thing on the dance floor. I’m still working on a page of photos showing my brother on the dance floor. Here’s a small sample of him in action @ Delray Marketplace.
SIMPLY TINA SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT @ the HP THEATER
Four years ago, I saw a fabulous “Simply Tina” show at the Old School Amphitheater located in downtown Delray Beach. But I’m having a hard time, trying to find words which adequately describe last night’s incredible performance in our theater. I’m going to try and describe what I saw and experienced, but I don’t know if my words can properly document the quality and excitement of this amazing show.
Let’s start with the band, which was incredibly talented and professional. They started the show with an exciting, pulsating, rhythmic beat, and kept it going all night long. On almost every song, I wanted to get out of my chair and dance, but our stupid new rules prevented me from doing such.
I was very impressed with every member of the band, and I particularly enjoyed the multiple solos from both the sax player and the drummer.
As for Tina, I am once again at a loss for words. She looks and sounds so much like the real Tina Turner, it was eerie. The crowd was focused on her throughout the show and with good reason.
When I first moved to HP many years ago, I saw what I think is the best show ever. It was an amazing performance by a fantastic Motown group. But last night’s Simply Tina show was every bit as good, and possibly even better than that Motown show a long time ago.
Because of another new idiotic rule, I am no longer allowed to take close up photos of the band performing on stage. However, I did manage to take a couple of long-distance photos. Hopefully, they will at least give you a feel for the excitement in the air last night.
DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2025
Tailored Soul – Disco Music of the 70’s
Tailored Soul was fabulous, as they played one disco song after another on a beautiful, picture perfect evening. There was a huge crowd which was literally on the dance floor 2 hours straight, having tons of fun. I’m still working on the new page with all of the photos, which should be ready later today. But for now, here are a few photos which will hopefully get your attention.
We have an array of photos showing our HP friends and neighbors on the dance floor, having a fabulous time. To see all the photos, select “DELRAY MARKETPLACE” on the menu at the top of the page. Here are 3 sample photos to get your attention.
NIGHT OUT CLUB: Halloween Boo Bash

We have tons of photos, capturing the spirit of the evening as the crowd had a wonderful time. You can check out the photos on our Halloween 2024 page. Here is a small handful of sample photos to get your attention.
NIGHT OUT CLUB PARTY – MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2024
Our fabulous Night Out Club sponsored a “Members Only” event in our ballroom. Lots of photos were taken at this fun filled event. You can view the photos by going to the menu above and then clicking on ” NIGHT OUT: SEPTEMBER 2024″
Just to get your interest, here are some photos from Monday night’s party.
On Friday August 23, 2024, HPA President Susan Levine, announced there will be no trial, which was originally scheduled for August 19, 2024. Why? Because the Paving Lady Lawsuit was settled. At this point in time, she is not allowed to give us any details of the settlement. We were told it would be several weeks before the specific details are released.
Four years ago, I was the only HPA board member who voted NO to the lawsuit, which Hal Pugach of Phase III, persuaded the HPA board to engage in. I advised our board members that 94% of civil cases in Florida never go to trial. Here’s what happens. After 3-5 years, both parties get tired of spending massive amounts of money on legal fees and come to an agreement. Very often, they settle for the same conditions they could have settled on in week one.
So far, the HPA spent over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on legal fees! Since our attorney will be working on the settlement details of the case for several more weeks, the legal bills could possibly approach $350,000.
NIGHTOUT CLUB EVENT in the BALLROOM JUNE 09, 2024

Here are several photos which will hopefully capture the tremendous, fun filled vibe in the room.
HOT BRASS BAND CONCERT: THURSDAY APRIL 25 in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH
If you’re new to this area, you may not be familiar with the OLD SCHOOL SQUARE AMPHITHEATER in Downtown Delray Beach. For many years, that was the place to be on a Friday night for their exciting, free concerts. The place was always packed, and they have a large dance floor in front of the stage, just like Delray Marketplace. The amphitheater is much bigger than the one at Delray Marketplace.
Who performed? The band was “Hot Brass”, a Chicago based Earth, Wind, & Fire Tribute band. Hot Brass is an 10 piece band, who were phenomenal. In addition to the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire, they played songs from Chicago, and threw in a couple of Motown hits. The big question for us, is who had more fun? Was it the audience or members of the band? Here are just 3 photos. If you want to see all of the photos, please click on OLD SCHOOL SQUARE SHOWS on the menu.
WEDNESDAY APRIL 24 @ DELRAY MARKETPLACE
On Wednesday April 24th, a band called REVIBE performed at the last Delray Marketplace show of the 2023-2024 season.

I believe Rhona said they sold 200 tickets for the event and everybody in attendance had a great time.
