August Musings

Hello neighbors!

1. Our new playground is right around the corner! We are finalizing the colors and expect delivery within late sept/early oct. We will be posting the Playground Install date and we hope we can count on you to help us assemble and install the playground under the careful supervision of a playground rep.
2. Our Lawn contractor, Buccaneer Landscape Mgmt, is doing a wonderful job, as evidenced by the unsolicited compliments I am receiving. Being that this is the 1st contractor we have brought on in 10-15 yrs, there have been small "growing pains" but have been quickly resolved by Buccaneer. Remember, our annual cost savings will FULL PAY for the playground by this time next year...making our new playground revenue-neutral!
3. I have received some calls from homeowner who did not pay their annual assessments on time, failed to respond to our late notice, and were referred to our attorney for collection, subsequently resulting in a lien. Please understand that once the file is referred to ur attorney for collection of the outstanding dues, attorneys costs CANNOT be waived or reversed. Also, before we can accept 2010 dues, any balance from 2009 must be fully paid, including attorney's fees. The best way to avoid those charges is to pay on time. Luckily, about 95% of our residents pay ontime every time, which we appreciate.
