"Pointing the Way" Newsletters
The MPWC Newsletter, Pointing the Way, was temporarily suspended in May 2022. The archived newsletters can be viewed by clicking on corresponding year button below. The Club's very first newsletter was published in November 2001 and thanks to Susan Mitchell, all the issues are now available for viewing.
"Magnolia News" Newsletters
The Club Management asked Susan Mitchell to do a Club newsletter for them in May 2002, with the first edition published in June 2002. Susan wrote the newsletter thru December 2008.
In December 2008, the Florida Times-Union introduced the "Living Series" magazines for the larger communities and Magnolia Point was one of them. Bob Tague, a Magnolia Point resident, was the Communications Chair for the HOA at that time and became responsible for each month's publication - The Magnolia Living. This was a unique opportunity as the magazine was delivered to every homeowner once a month. Susan continued to write articles for this newsletter, including for the Women's Club, both ladies golf leagues and the Homeowners Association.
In June 2020, the Times-Union informed the HOA that it was going to cease publication of the Living Magazines due to the loss in revenue. The July 2020 issue was the final Magnolia Living published. Susan Mitchell then offered to continue an electronic only version of our newsletter. and both the Homeowners Association and the Country Club were happy that a monthly newsletter would continue. Due to her broken ankle in the spring of 2022, Susan was unable to continue and asked Dave Petraglia if he was interested in continuing the magazine and he was happy to do so.
Susan has slowly been reformatting all the old "Magnolia News" newsletters into PDF format and they will be posted below. Click on the buttons to read them - the Club was a happening place during that time period!
