President’s Message April 2026

Dear Seven Isles Neighbors,
We hope you and your families had a wonderful Passover and Easter, and that many of you were able to enjoy meaningful time with family and friends. Spring is also one of the best times of year in South Florida, with longer days, beautiful weather, and the energy that comes from life on the water before summer arrives.

As this is my first President’s Message, I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Bryan Martin, and I am honored to serve as President of the Seven Isles Homeowners Association. It is both a privilege and a responsibility to help support a neighborhood as unique, established, and special as ours. Like many of you, I especially enjoy being out on the water, whether fishing, paddleboarding, or simply spending time walking through the neighborhood and appreciating everything that makes Seven Isles such a remarkable place to live. I look forward to working alongside this very accomplished board and our residents to preserve, strengthen, and enhance what makes Seven Isles so special.

Our board includes Donna Zalter as Vice President, Ava Shore as Treasurer, and Louisa King as Secretary. Our Street Representatives are Phil Cyburt for Aquavista, Michael Kurzman for Castilla Isle, Jonathan Lefcourt for Del Mar Place, Alex Spector for Pelican Isle, and Louisa King for Seven Isles Drive. Our Members at Large are Debbie Fitzgerald, Maureen Bennett, David Zwieg, Dusan Jankov, and Cecilia Walker. We are grateful to serve alongside such a committed group and appreciate the time and effort each of them contributes on behalf of the community.

One of our priorities is to continue growing membership and increasing engagement. A strong association depends on participation, communication, and community involvement. A broader and more engaged membership strengthens our ability to represent the neighborhood, support important initiatives, and continue enhancing the quality of life in Seven Isles. If you have ideas, suggestions, or would like to become involved, we would welcome your participation.

Below are a few updates on the work underway:
Centennial Party, April 19, 2026
We are especially excited about the upcoming Centennial Party on Sunday, April 19, 2026. This event is an opportunity for neighbors to come together and celebrate the 100-year history of Seven Isles and the unique character of the community we are fortunate to call home. The event will take place at Cucina Moderna, 721 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Guests will enjoy half-off drinks, a complimentary tasting, and the opportunity to sample the chef’s featured dishes on the house, and Seven Isles residents who stay for dinner will receive 20% off. We would like to extend a special thank you to Maureen Bennett, Ava Shore, and the Social Committee for their hard work in organizing this event. RSVP HERE.

PAWS Event, April 25, 2026
We also want to make the community aware of the upcoming PAWS event on April 25, 2026. PAWS is a wonderful organization supported by a number of Seven Isles residents, and several members of its board also reside within our neighborhood. It is another meaningful opportunity for neighbors to come together in support of a great cause, and we encourage those who are available to attend or learn more. Learn more here.

Neighborhood Security
One of the most important functions of our association is the investment we make in helping protect the neighborhood. A substantial portion of membership dues goes toward security, including our work with SIG 9 to monitor the neighborhood, deter crime, and proactively address potential threats. A recent SIG 9 analysis of reported crime activity over the 6-month period from October 8, 2025 through April 6, 2026 underscores the value of that investment. While the broader surrounding area reflected 170 reported incidents during that period, only 1 reported incident was identified within the boundaries of Seven Isles itself. That result speaks for itself and reinforces our view that continued investment in professional security, active monitoring, and proactive community awareness plays an important role in helping protect Seven Isles and preserve the quality of life our residents expect.

Undergrounding Update
The board supports continuing preliminary planning with the City. As details develop, the broader community will ultimately have the opportunity to review the plans and vote accordingly. We will continue to keep residents informed as more information becomes available.

Looking Ahead
Our goal is to make the association more active, inclusive, and effective for the entire neighborhood. We encourage residents to attend meetings, participate in our activities, and consider joining upcoming subcommittees in the months ahead.

Seven Isles is a remarkable community, and we are excited about what we can accomplish together. If you have ideas or would like to contribute in some way, we encourage you to get involved.

I always welcome the opportunity to connect with fellow residents, so if you see me around the neighborhood, please feel free to stop and say hello. Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you at the Centennial Celebration.
Warm regards,

Bryan Martin, HOA President
and the Seven Isles HOA Board
