August 2018 Newsletter

Labor Day pays tribute to the

contributions and achievements of

American workers, and Labor Day 2018

occurs on Monday, September 3rd

(it’s traditionally observed on the first

Monday in September). It was created

by the labor movement in the late 19th

century and became a federal holiday in

1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the

end of summer for many Americans,

and is celebrated with parties, parades

and athletic events.

IMPORTANT POLICY

REMINDERS

Attention ALL Durbin Residents,

The summer is winding down but we would like to finish strong! We hope you are aware that your Durbin

Crossing Amenity Center staff is excited and proud to serve you. We work hard to make sure your amenities

are clean, warm, welcoming and ready for use, when you are ready! Whether you are able to come to the

amenities daily, monthly or just when all of the planets align, we want to make it great. To see residents en-

joying the amenities, the Norman Rockwell atmosphere we strive to provide and making memories right here,

is priceless. However, we need a bit of help to keep the dream alive, please.

We would like to remind you of a few VERY important Amenity policies and procedures:

• Your DC access card is mandatory to enter the pools, gym, tennis courts, all amenities. If you have lost

your card, replacement cards may be purchased for $25, cash or check only please. It just takes a couple of

minutes to get a replacement card, at the South Amenity Center.

• If you are a new resident who has not yet obtained your cards, please call the South Amenity Center office

for full details on what is required, 904-230-2011. We look forward to meeting you.

• The age to enter either pool facility, North or South, without an adult is 15 years of age, no exceptions.

Please note, that ages will be checked at the front gates. Failure to adhere to this policy or falsifying infor-

mation can result in the loss of Amenity privileges.

• The age to enter the gym without an adult is 16 years of age. Again, ages checked upon entry.

• The age to enter the gym with an adult, 18 years or older, is 12 years of age.

• Please remember there is a fee to bring a guest to the gym, $10 per guest, per visit, 2 guest maximum.

Please note, you must remain with your guest(s) during use. Your amenity card cannot be given to others.

• You are allowed to bring up to five guests per visit to either pool facility. Please sign your guest(s) in

upon entry. Guests are tracked from Spring Break to Labor Day weekend and you are allowed 24

complimentary guests during that time frame. Also, you must remain with your guest(s) for the

duration of their visit.

We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.

We are a growing community and would like to maintain

that small town, family friendly atmosphere we have all grown accustomed to.

We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.


Please visit our website at: durbincrossingliving.com Sign up for our weekly e-blast and monthly e-newsletter either

on the website or at the Durbin South Amenity office.

RECIPE CORNER


Directions

1. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Whisk together the egg, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the pancake mix until no dry lumps remain. Dip the cookies into the batter one at a time, and carefully place into the hot frying oil. Fry only 4 or 5 at a time to avoid overcrowding the deep fryer. Cook until the cookies are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

“Deep Fried Oreo’s” • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

• 1 large egg

• 1 cup milk

Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the

number one state for deaths due to lightning.

Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S.

than hurricanes and tornadoes combined?

Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound.

A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can

travel as far as 10 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead.

If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance!

It has been known to travel through clear air and strike 10 miles from the

storm like a bolt out of the blue!

Lightning is actually 5 times hotter than the sun’s surface!

With all of this knowledge and critical information we’d like to remind you of

Durbin Crossing’s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will

close the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen, the

clock is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety!

No life is worth the risk!

*Stay tuned to our Twitter feed for up to the minute pool closures and information;
