Hurricane season

The Hurricane season will soon be upon us. The hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. If you haven’t done so, now is the time to prepare for hurricane season. A good source for tracking storms is: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Some preparedness tips include: • Determine your risk • Develop an evacuation plan • Secure an insurance check-up • Assemble disaster supplies • Strengthen your home • Identify your trusted sources of information for a hurricane event • Complete your written hurricane plan Friendly Maintenance Reminder from your Community Association Manager Make May your month to address your home’s curb appeal! As spring and summer come upon us this is a great time for homeowners to prepare for the hotter months by addressing a variety of upkeep items. Attention to detail is one of the most affordable ways to improve your overall curb appeal which helps increase the value of your home. As a part of our community inspections, we are tasked to observe homes that need attention to items such as the following: Clean: the building exterior, driveway, sidewalks, roof, fences, and mailbox. Paint may be necessary. Landscape maintenance: Trim trees, remove weeds and install mulch to freshen landscape beds, weed and feed sod Remove items: waste cans are to be stored away from public view, commercial and recreational vehicles, trailers, and inoperable vehicles are restricted ***Remember to check with CA to see if your maintenance items will require an application for approval by the Design Review Board. Please partner with us to ensure your property consistently meets the standards of your neighborhood. We ask that you evaluate your home for maintenance items and address these within the next 30 days. We want you looking your best and ready for decorating for the upcoming holidays! Your home is one of your most important investments, so keep it looking great! On behalf of your Association’s Board of Directors and Condominium Associates, items which are not addressed may result in a non-compliance notice in accordance with your Association’s Covenants and Restrictions. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Pasco Office at 813-341-0943 or email pasco@condominiumassociates.com . Thank you for your community support!

I hope you are out and enjoying the short spring Florida has because summer will be upon us before you know it! Please join me in welcoming our new Board member: Michael Corbin

Thank you to those who have been complying with the violation letters you have received. We thank everyone for their efforts in complying with

the rules and regulations of the community and taking an active role in maintaining the property values. The Association has been receiving extra bills for the trash areas not being maintained properly by our residents. Please make sure you are getting your trash inside the trash bins. There is NO dumping of furniture, TV, beds, or electronics. The rules have in place for a fine of 100.00 dollars for those trash bags that do not make it inside the bin. If the trash lid will not shut all the way closed, please keep the bag at your home for one more day. The community receives an extra charge for those trash bins when the lid does not shut. We are trying to keep the area clean and the fees down for everyone. Please report any activity at the trash areas that are in violation of these rules or persons from outside the community.

CDD May 2019 Update

Aquatic Plantings Last month we started our process of installing aquatic plants along the banks of some of our community ponds. This was done to help with some of the erosion issues we have been experiencing. The root systems help hold the soils together along with providing many other benefits. The plantings were done in some of the worst areas and the plants will eventually spread and work themselves around the remainder of the ponds. We will be doing this in phases over the next couple of years. Please do not remove or spray any type of chemicals on these plantings. Speed Limit Signs The district has purchased two digital speed limit signs. The signs are portable and will be moved around the community. We hope this will make drivers more aware of how fast they are driving and encourage them to drive the posted speed limit in our community. The signs also collect data such as times and speeds. This data can be given to Tampa PD which will help with enforcement. Pool The pool surface was treated several weeks ago to remove most of the tannin stains. The pool slide was resurfaced over the winter. To keep the slide surface smooth, it is important that we wear appropriate bathing suits. It is also not permissible to take floats or wear life jackets down the slide. This also causes damage to the slide surface. When listening to music, please be courteous to others around you. It should only be loud enough for your ears and not the whole pool area. Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the pool.

From our Social Events Committee Spring has sprung, and the weather we enjoyed at the end of March was delightful! On a recent walk from the 2nd green to the clubhouse, I saw a friend dropping off some fresh baked rolls her son made to a mutual friend. People waving as they drive by, golfers enjoying our beautiful course - and wow, has it been packed lately! Kudos to our course manager, Rich Unger! People coming and going from the fitness center, kids enjoying the pool, homeowners landscaping and sprucing up their homes. The rotary club setting up for a meeting at Bayscape, one of many events that take place there, along with all the entertainment they have to offer, kudos to Eddie and Lourdes of Bayscape as well. The Easter Egg Hunt tripled in size this year, and all the kids enjoyed the fun and games and a visit from a very dapper Easter Bunny.

This Mother's Day, why not get the whole family together for some creative fun and games? Here are 10 ways to inject some laughter—and love—into your Mother's Day celebration. Go to the “movies”. One good way to share family memories is to look at old photographs or home movies. If you live near Grandma or Grandpa, ask them to pull out old photos and movies of you as a child, and take a trip together down memory lane. Your kids will get a kick out of the styles of clothes you wore—not to mention the fact that you were once a baby, toddler, or teen. Find the humor in family life. Start a new tradition this year by creating a family comic strip. Take a long sheet of paper, and draw three or four large squares next to one another, like a newspaper comic strip. Then think of an event, celebration, or something funny that happened this past year, and illustrate it with markers, crayons, or paints. Be sure to include dialogue, a date, and a title, such as "Life with the Smiths." Older children can help with the drawing and writing, while younger kids can dictate their thoughts or help color. Save your comic strip, and create another one next year and others in years to come. When you're ready to compile all of your strips into a book, stack the pages and thread them together with sturdy yarn. Take an exotic "vacation." Even if you can't afford to go to Paris for the weekend, you can still enjoy a little taste of France (or any other destination that intrigues you). Get some croissants for breakfast, pack a picnic lunch of French bread, cheese, and fruit, or order a meal from your favorite deli or restaurant (quiche, anyone?), and get into the flavor of the country. For an added touch, adorn your kitchen or dining room table with a red-and-white-checkered tablecloth and fresh flowers, put on some French music, and

teach your kids a few basic words in French, such as "bonjour" (good morning) and "merci" (thank you). Make a little music. Nothing brightens a family celebration quite like music. But if you want to really turn up the volume on fun, stage your own "lip-synch" contest. To begin, have each family member choose a favorite song from a CD, tape, or video that you currently own. Then turn on the music, and let each person lip-synch the words to the song, doing his or her best to mimic the performer. (Your 2-year-old, for instance, can pretend he's Barney singing the "I Love You" song.) Other family members can rate the performance from one (not at all like the performer) to five (exactly like the performer), and write down their score on a card. The person with the highest score wins the contest. Get pampered. At some point on Mother's Day, you may want some time alone or a chance for a little rest and relaxation. Make sure you get what you need—and deserve—by asking for it in advance. For instance, a few days before Mother's Day, give your husband and kids a list of five "services" you desire. The list could include: An hour alone so I can call a friend or

soak in the tub A chance to sleep in until 9 a.m. A manicure at my favorite nail salon No sibling squabbles for an hour Whatever else you'd really love! Have your husband and kids make up coupons with each of these services, and be sure to redeem them throughout Mother's Day weekend. Go on a "bug safari." Now that spring's in the air, why not gather up your family for a good old-fashioned bug safari? To begin, you'll need an insect field guide (to identify the creepy, crawly

creatures), a magnifying glass (to inspect them closely), and a field to explore (this could be your own backyard or a local park). Get kids in the spirit by telling them some fun facts about bugs. For instance, grasshoppers can leap 20 times the length of their body. Plant some flowers. If you have some extra space in your garden, you can create a real, live Mother's Day canvas. First, buy various packets of flower seeds that grow fast and well in your region. Then have your kids draw a picture or write a short message (like "We love Mom") in the garden dirt with a stick. Drop the flower seeds into the dirt lines; then cover them up, and water every few days. Before long, your picture (or message) will be blooming, and you'll have a Mother's Day gift that keeps on growing. Make a "lasting impression." On a warm day, go outside and have your children (and anyone else who's game) place their hands and feet into a shallow tub of colorful, nontoxic paint. Spread out a roll of butcher paper, and have everyone press their hands and feet onto it, leaving their prints behind. Label each handprint and footprint with the person's name, the date, and special message to Mom, and allow your collective masterpiece to dry. Try this activity again next year, and see how much bigger some hands and feet have become! Read a good book. If you want to have some downtime on Mother's Day, take a blanket outside and leaf through a children's book that's just right for the day, such as The Mother's Day Mice, No Time for Mother's Day, Clifford's Happy Mother's Day, or Are You My Mother? You could also select one of your own childhood favorites, and read it with your kids. Schedule time for hugs. Finally, what would Mother's Day be like without hugs and kisses all around? One way to work them into your day is by setting up a silly "hugs and kisses" schedule and posting it on the refrigerator or other visible spot. For instance, you could write, "10:30 a.m.: Everyone runs around the couch and gives Mom a hug and kiss." or "2:15 p.m.: Everyone hops around the oak tree on one foot and assembles for a group hug." Make up your own directions and silly things to do -- but be sure to include lots of hugs, kisses, and laughter in your day. Parents.com
