    Managers Update 10-8-2019

    I was shocked to read the newsletter this week. The paragraph about the pool is not only wrong but misleading.

    The high-water level was caused by either the pool cleaner leaving a valve closed or by a resident (unauthorized) that was messing around in the equipment enclosure and accidently caused its closing.

    The pool equipment functioned and continues to function as it was designed to. There was no problem with the equipment, the problem was a person. Access to the pool equipment is for authorized persons only, that is why only they have a key.

    I know a resident was in there because one of the water timers was turned off. Which has been corrected so the plants will still get water. Residents, please contact the “office” with your questions or concerns.

    In regards to the pool being “overfilled” I and the pool company decided to leave it that way because of lack of rain and evaporation.

    Replacement of the solar blanket was being handled before this newsletter and does not require board approval.

     I hope, future newsletters provide correct and accurate information and not written on hearsay or assumptions.

    It was also brought to my attention that a few residents have tried to contact me and did not get a reply. The reason as I found out is that they were using my personal phone number. I do not answer calls that are not in my contacts.

    Please use the office number, 863-382-0347, that number is forwarded to the office cell phone that I keep with me. If I do not answer you have the opportunity to leave a message and I will get back to you.

    Communication with management will avoid misinformation.

    Lon Childress opened the meeting, with Harold Price giving the opener. The count was 35 this morning. A good indication that the northerners are returning.

    Lynette Pickup gave the birthday wishes to Don Phelps, Barbara Burke and Claude Funk. There were no anniversaries.

    Sunshine Report was given by Carol Parker. Pat Butts is out of the hospital and is hoping to come to Florida later. Ralph Centers is recuperating from surgery and Chuck Danzer is doing much better with his back problem.

    Returnees this week John & Lynette Pickup, Bill & Diana Morgan, Mike & Tami Gerity, Terry & Joan McGarigle, Phil & Teresa Desautels and Bob and Ruth Helmstadter.

    New residents: John Pickup reported that the Taylors have purchased Bob & Nancy Thompson home. He has not received all information yet.

    Blue Grass starts this week. Wednesday at 1:00 y’all come and enjoy the music. Bingo tonight and games as usual.

    October 22, at 5:00 will be our potluck. Sign up sheet is on the board.

    We need volunteers for the gourmet committees for November, December and April. Won’t you please help our community have the best Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners?

    The pool needs a new cover and this can not be purchased until all the board members are here to have the purchase approved. With the cooler evenings the water is getting colder and there is no heat turned on. The float value is not working properly and therefore the pool has way too much water and everything has been turned off. Apparently the pool people need authorization to fix or repair any problems with the pool.

    Lon gave Sylvia Epson and Linda Price a big thank you for all the work they did this summer with all the dinners we had in the park.

    A big thank you to Lon and Rachel for all the work they have done this summer.

    Linda has asked for a volunteer to do the news letter for Oct 21 and 28 as she will be out of the park those days.

    Thank you to Bob & Kat Hazelett for the donation for donuts this morning. Harold Price gave a closer.
