At Bonita Bay Club, we love recognizing team members who go above and beyond to make our community a better place. One such shining star is Arasely Mendez, who originally joined our team on a temporary basis but has quickly become an invaluable part of the Golf Course Maintenance West team.

Since starting in January 2025, Arasely has demonstrated exceptional initiative, a strong work ethic, and a contagious positive attitude. What truly sets her apart is her artistic touch—one that has transformed something as simple as bathroom supplies into delightful works of art.

A Touch of Creativity in Every Rest Stop
Arasely has been brightening up the golf course bathrooms with beautifully crafted designs made from toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels. From intricate flowers to adorable animals, each creation is a small but meaningful detail that members have come to appreciate. To elevate her designs even further, she delicately decorates them with flower petals, adding an elegant and unexpected touch of beauty.

Her work has not gone unnoticed:

“Not only do I want to learn how to make these, many of us want this talented staff member to know how much joy her creations have brought. We appreciate her work ethic and artistic talent!” – Gail Zanelotti, BBC Member since 2015.

“Excellent job maintaining our rest shelters and creating the beautiful origami!” – Unknown Member

Next time you visit one of our rest stops, take a moment to appreciate the artistry. Thank you, Arasely, for going the extra mile and bringing joy to our community!
