University Club of Orlando, Boy Scouts host Cocktails for a Cause and Silent Auction that Raised More than $5,000 for Ronald McDonald House

ORLANDO, Fla. --- The University Club of Orlando and Eagle Scout Candidate James Phillips raised more than $5,000 for Ronald McDonald House recently at a Cocktails for a Cause event at the University Club.

Justin Wright, events director at The University Club of Orlando, said the funds will go toward a new activity room at the local Ronald McDonald House, which provides housing for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at local hospitals.

Wright said Phillips, who planned the new activity room as his Eagle Scout project, secured over 50 donated items for the silent auction and local Boy Scouts assisted in manning the event, as well as setup and clean up.

So far this year, the University Club’s Cocktails for a Cause events have raised more than $75,000 for local charitable endeavors and organizations, Wright said.

Heritage Hills in Clermont Reduces Prices for Villa Homes by $12,000 in Summer Blowout Sale

CLERMONT, Fla. --- Lennar has reduced pricing on Villa homes at Heritage Hills, the gated active adult community located on Heritage Hills Blvd. off Hartwood Marsh Road, east of U.S. 27 in Clermont.

Mark Metheny, president of the Central Florida Division of Lennar, said new villa homes at Heritage Hills are priced from $127,990.

“The price of the 1,400 square foot St. Lucia villa home has been reduced to $127,990,” Metheny said. The two-bedroom, two-bath St. Lucia also offers a one-car garage.

Sara K. Nakamine, who heads Active Adult Marketing for Lennar in Clermont, said visitor traffic at Heritage Hills has been heavy since Easter.

“This is unusual for the late spring,” she explained. “Typically, visitor traffic falls off dramatically after Easter, when winter visitors return to the north.

Nakamine said the surge in after Easter visits to the Welcome Home Center at Heritage Hills is probably the result of changing lifestyle patterns of active adults.

“The active adult market is changing and we’re already seeing the first wave,” Metheny said. “For the next 20 years or so an average of more than 1,500 Americans every day will celebrate their 65th birthday, he said.

“The U.S. economy is improving and active adults who put off retirement plans for the past five years are now entering the market in greater number than before,” Metheny said.
