Four years ago, on an extended holiday visit, Chris Perone saw The Meadows for the first time. He was in awe of the lush greenery, scenic bike trails, tennis and pickleball courts, as well as The Club. It was easy to imagine next phase of life taking place in The Meadows – amongst blue skies and the warm Floridian sunshine. Even after he returned to New York, his life-long home, The Meadows continued to speak to him. The Meadows was to be his new home. Chris served as Vice President of The Meadows Homeowners Association and worked to connect homeowners in innovative, communal ways that are meaningful. He served on the Standards Committee; assuring that The Meadows never loses that special alure (the same alure that attracted him to The Meadows). Chris believes that in The Meadows its easy to feel the sense of belonging, that is what makes The Meadows unlike any other place in the world.
