Happy Fall to you!
I just finished filling out my Limited Proxy for the 2010 Annual Meeting – have you completed yours?
If you haven’t, please take a second and complete it. It’s a simple one page document that requires just your name, your picks for Board members (please write in yourself as a candidate!) and your address.
What a great segue…How in the world, with 585 homes, do we have ONLY 2 residents running for 3 Board member slots???? This is besides that fact that the 2 candidates are ALREADY on the Board! I am DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED that more residents are interested in helping current volunteers manage our $350,000 annual budget, $1M+ in assets, and 2 employees. I can only interpret this apparent lack of interest as a sign that residents are very satisfied with the work and efforts of the current volunteer Board members. Please know that current volunteers cannot volunteer ad infinitum…we will end our service and who will take over??? I cannot stress how important CONTINUITY OF THE HOA is to our community…your home’s value depends on it.
Also on the ballot is an amendment to the current overnight truck parking standard. The EXACT SAME amendment was on the 2009 ballot and almost passed but came up short. Regardless of how you feel about the topic, PLEASE VOTE!
Ok, now that you have filled out your Limited Proxy ballot, what do you do? Well, simply get it to Rosemary in the office NO LATER THAN:
Saturday Nov 6 if by mail
Sunday Nov 7 by 7p if utilizing the dropbox
This is important and I personally made this mistake my first year here – PROXY BALLOTS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE MEETING. We’ll just ask you to fill out a regular ballot instead.
The annual meeting is scheduled for TUESDAY NOVEMBER 9 at 7P at the Clubhouse. We need approximately 189 members in attendance (in person or by proxy) just to commence the meeting.
Please vote!

we need Board candidates
This is a very simple request.
We need Board candidates for your 2011 Board of Directors.
Just like the Tea Party, we want you to "shake it up"!
We have 3 open positions that need to be filled.
At least give it a chance...you can always quit after!
Are you scared you might like it a little bit? Helping the community is contagious.
Joining the Board is kinda like flossing...it hurts a bit, you know you should do it more often, and when it's over your gums bleed...ok, so it's not ENTIRELY like flossing but you get the drift ;-)
Call Rosemary in the Office at 727-784-3054

Good day.
I wanted to remind ALL residents of out Annual Meeting scheduled for November 9th at 7p at the Clubhouse. Ballots will be mailed out well in advance...I urge you to vote...we need your participation to have the quorum necessary to conduct the Annual Meeting.
The 2011 budget is being finalized and will be presented to the Board at the Sept meeting.
Pinellas County swept through the neighborhood trimming trees and clearing overgrown branches. That is why you pay your property taxes!
The pool will be shutdown in the next couple of months for a complete renovation. County and engineer-approved plans are on file in the office for residents to review at their leisure.
Jim, our Dir of Bldg & Grounds, and Rosemary, our Office Admin Asst, just reached their 3 year anniversary! If you see them, please let them know how much you appreciate what they do for our community!

Good day...here are some quick tidbits...
1) Although our call for volunteers to assist the budget commitee has gone unanswered, the 2011 budget is being finalized and will hopefully be presented to the Board at the September meeting for review.
2) The SW corner of the South entrance has been approved by the Board for remodel. Perennial peanut, a florida friendly plant, will be installed.
3) Every year, we elect 3 new Board members at the annual meeting. Although members can nominate themselves from the floor, it's best to submit your name to be published with a list of candidates that is amiled out with the Annual Meeting notice and ballot.
Stay cool...

As summer wraps up, the Board is preparing for the end of the year, which means 1) Budget stuff & 2) Annual Meeting stuff.
First budget stuff. The budget committee is working on polishing our 2011 budget – if you are interested, your thoughts are welcome! Contact the office 784-3054 for info on how to assist.
Second, our annual meeting is November 9th at 7p at the Clubhouse. You will receive your Annual Meeting Mailing & ballot about 1 month before the meeting.
There are 2 ways to vote:
1) If you plan on attending, don’t send anything in – you can vote right then and there.
2) If you can’t make it, please send us your Proxy Vote by the date & time
specified at the bottom. WE CANNOT TAKE PROXIES AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
When I tell you EVERY vote is important, I’m not putting you on – in years past, we have not had enough votes to allow us to even convene the meeting, which means it has to be re-scheduled. Please vote in person or by proxy!
In addition, we elect 3 new Board members every year. We are looking for 3 or more candidates for the 2011 Board. Don’t be scared…we want YOU! Contact the office 784-3054 for info

August update
Yes, it is that hot outside!
If you're feeling like you need to cool off, come and visit our pool! We're running at 100% and the water is FINE! Jim Brasby, our director of Buildings & Grounds, discovered that our "phosphate" level in the pool water was way above normal thresholds and MOST LIKELY the cause of many of our water clarity issues. It's rarely tested for and high phosphate levels is like dumping in fertilizer for any algae that may be in the pool - they eat it up.
Courtesy of Pinellas County, the Blvd trees were recently trimmed. In addition, our 60ish palm trees were trimmed according to our contract with Buccaneer. This was done at the beginning of hurricane season to limit as much debris as possible should a hurricane come through.
The Annual meeting is right around the corner and we need candidates for the 2011 Board of Directors. If you've thought about volunteering but always found a reason why NOT, I challenge you to find a reason WHY. There are so many "why's" it's easy.
Contact the ofc or anyone on the Board for more info on getting on our ballot. You'll be glad you did.
