DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE So much going on in March! In addition to the many club meetings and activities, we have two dances, two bus trips and three HOA sponsored Informational meetings . . . AED Training, FMH Information, Fire and Fall Prevention – AND if this isn’t enough, we also have Florida Primary Elections on March 17th! Be sure to keep a copy of the Events Calendar handy! FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY . . . SAVING SEATS: We do not allow seats to be saved at any event or activity. This includes poolside, Bingo, etc. Showing up early for an event and marking your spot by folding chairs or leaving items is not allowed. If you leave items to “mark” your spot – they will be removed to “lost and found”. Doors open for all events at published times. If you CHOOSE to show up for an event an hour, half hour, 15 minutes early, please do not complain that you must wait in the lobby until doors open. We start events at published times because we are busy – very busy preparing for YOU! We do our best to welcome you with hugs and smiles, to feed your stomach – and hearts and to show you a fun time! We offer more

events then required and do so because you are our neighbors and WE CARE! It is very disheartening to your Rec Staff to hear people complaining in the lobby, pushing against the doors, yelling at us to get in early and worst yet - showing no regard for those that need assistance. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENTS! The majority of our residents are kind, considerate and inclusive of others. I offer my apologies to the Majority that they must suffer through reading this discourse. For those that it does apply to, please know that we reserve the right to refuse to serve you and if necessary, we can suspend your Clubhouse privileges. “All will concede that in order to have good neighbors, we must also be good neighbors. This applies in every field of human endeavor”. -Harry S. Truman
