Manager Notes

Congratulations to our newly elected HOA 2010 Board of Directors.

I look forward to working with you during the upcoming year.

January has been a busy month around our park…our winter residents have returned

to a record breaking cold month, we had our Annual HOA Meeting that brings us a

new Board of Directors and many projects around the park have been started and

completed.

Have you been to our lake/dock area recently to see the owners’ new addition of two picnic tables and a park style grill for your use? Please ~ after

using the grill dispose of your used coals in the container by the grill and dispose of

any other trash in the garbage can.

Another new improvement to our park is the additional lighting around our

Clubhouse and Clubhouse parking area. Along with the new sensory lights by the

clubhouse front doors this should make for a safer entrance/departure at our

Clubhouse during the evening hours. Thank you Bill, Bruce and Leon for completing that project.

The RV, Boat and Trailer parking area has been improved as well. The

area has been graded and lots of mulch for the area was spread. There are now

assigned numbered parking areas for each unit. Thank you residents for being tolerant of the various units being parked in the vacant lots and clubhouse parking lot during the completion of this project. Speaking of the vacant lots…as per our Rules and Regulations “no parking” is allowed

on any of the vacant lots or in your yards. Please refrain from parking your vehicles

or your guests’ vehicles on the vacant lots or in your yards. If you are in need of

additional parking please use the Clubhouse side parking lot. Thank you.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Thanks

Barry and I would like to thank everyone in Lake Hammock Village for their prayers

and concerns for Barry while he was in Arizona recovering from eye surgery, and

for myself as I was preparing to drive down to Arizona. He is home now and the

eye doctor says the surgery was a success.

Newsletter Information

I have taken over as Editor of the Gator Tales.

We are trying a new format which will allow us to have more room for

additional information and graphics. We are hoping that you will feel free to

submit recipes, jokes, thoughts, and quotes. All we ask is that all content be

respectful and dignified to all parties equally including residents,

management, and ownership. If you have any submissions for “Gator Tales”,

I would appreciate it if you would get them to me by the 20th of every

month. If you have any thoughts on how the Gator Tales can be improved

please let me know. I look forward to this new challenge and to your many

submissions.

LHV Homeowner’s Association

February Community Challenges

HEALTH – Walk around your block three (3) times per week. Add an additional segment if you

accomplished our December goal. Commit today to adding exercise in your weekly routine.

Dr. Oz has recommended the use of a “Neti Pot” for allergies, nasal congestion, cold/flu prevention and

coughs caused by post nasal drip. Ask your doctor if the “All Natural” saline solution rinsed through your

nasal cavities is an inexpensive, safe and effective method for you.

FUN – Come out and play a game at the clubhouse on at least one Sunday night during the next month. Ask

2 to 4 people to come out and play dominoes, cards, board games, etc. Bring some cookies and drinks and

make a night of it. Remember our community BINGO is on Thursday night. Join the fun.

TOLERANCE - What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and

error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature. Think for yourselves and

let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. Voltaire

CHARITY – Get together and send a care package to any soldier, sailor, airman or marine somewhere in

harms way. Ask your neighbors to fill a small box full of goodies. http://www.anysoldier.com/

ACTIVITY/VOLUNTEER – Participate in the Give a Day, Get a Day program for Walt Disney World. You

can receive one day at a theme park for a qualified volunteer day. See WWW.DISNEY.COM for details.

OUTREACH – Make two loaves of bread, two dozen cookies or some cupcakes this month. Give them all

out to your neighbors. Consider donating those unused can goods to a local food bank.
