I want to thank everyone who attended

the yearly board meeting at Seawind

Elementary; and those of you who

took the time to send in your proxies.

This year we have two new board members; Frank

Galligan representing Capri III, and Robert Bailey

representing Double Tree Court.

I would like to thank Joan Sweeney, former director of

Capri III, and Joe Mango, former director of Double

Tree Court, for their years of service to the community.

A reminder to everyone that we do have a new

landscaping service, ROOD, with a phone number of

772-675-7413. The number will appear in the new

Directory. On that note...you should have handed in

any changes to your phone numbers or e-mails to the

office by now. The committee is in the process of

finalizing the changes before going to the printer.

I want to remind owners and their guests that the main

entrance to Lost Lake is not wide enough for boats and

trailers. The service gate at Founda Drive should be

used.

I'm sure many, if not all, have

heard repor ts of new

construction on Rt. 1 north of

Seabranch, our side of

Mariner Village. The plans are

being reviewed at the county

planners office. There has

been no decision on what kind

of retail space will be provided.

There will be two 120 bed

assisted living buildings and

20,000 sq. ft. of retail space.

Speaking of Seabranch and

Rt. 1, please be careful when

pulling out onto Federal

Mar/Apr 2016 Published for and by your friends and neighbors Issue 103

Highway when the light turns green.

I find it hard to believe that this will be our last

newsletter for the season. For those of you who will be

returning North for the Spring and Summer have a safe

return.

Thank you...Glenn Zillhardt

Lost Lake Bocce… The 2016 Season is winding down. Although we had an

unusual rainy season, we still ended up with a very

pleasant recreational season. The bocce season ends

March 9th followed by playoff championships.

The Lost Lake Rollers Bocce League has three

divisions: Pasta (Monday), Pesto (Tuesday), and Vino

(Wednesday). We will offer the formation of a fourth

division (Thursday) for the 2017 Season. Any property

owner at Lost Lake has the privilege to join.

The new Thursday Division has to have a minimum of 4

teams (16 players) with a maximum of 8 teams (32

players).

Although we are pretty much filled in our existing

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Divisions, there are

always players not able to finish their season which

creates openings for others.

Also, anyone can register as “stand-by” or “substitute”,

which is often needed.

Additionally, we have pick-up leagues on Wednesday

evening at 6:30pm and Saturday morning at 10:00am.

Please be aware that our League is non-competitive and

strictly fun-orientated with our neighbors, friends and

acquaintances.

The end of the Season Get-together/Registration (2017

Season) will be on or around the fourth week of March.

Please join us. We will be looking forward to our

returning and new members. You can contact either

Victor Vallera, vicval667@sbcglobal.net; Lolly Campbell,

lollyc@comcast.net; Bev Nees, twobneeses@aol.com.

Couples Bridge…

Come for a fun evening every other Friday. All bridge

playing couples are invited. You must hold a Lost Lake

Housing Areas… Carmel News...

Reporter...Carolyn Weishaar Thank you to Kate and Tom Schnur and Peter and Patty

Schuyler for hosting the February and March Happy

Hours…a great time was had by all. The Happy Hours

are a great way to get to know your neighbors better so

if you haven’t given them a try in a while stop in for

some tasty treats and great conversation.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the April 5th

Happy Hour to be hosted by Ronnie and Fred

Dembowski (7945) and on May 3rd at the home of Ron

hoping that we continue to work together to keep the

Carmels the outstanding neighborhood that it is. I can

be reached at 772-463-4790 or by email at

moejojive@gmail.com.

Just a few reminders:

A gentle reminder to all that cars parked on the

street must be on the roadway, not the grass.

Please continue to pick up after your pooch for

both health and aesthetic reasons.

Regarding Landscaping/Outside changes to your home:

Our new carriage lights have been ordered and

we expect delivery in the next few weeks. Ron

Herman Electric will do the installation and we

will notify you in advance. All work will be done

outside your house. Therefore no inside access

will be required.

Justin Rogers, our account manager with Rood

Landscaping is compiling an inventory of

plantings that need to be removed from all of our

properties. Once this list is compiled we will

schedule a meeting so, as a community, we can

decide on how much work should be done

immediately. This is part of the Long Range Plan

for removal and replacement that we voted on at

our annual meeting.

Outside changes of any kind must have ARC

approval. Ronnie Dembowski is our ARC

Representative. Please contact her if you are in

need of applications for changes.

This is the last newsletter of the season…wishing

everyone a safe and healthy summer…and safe travels

if you head North for the summer!

Oakmont I News… Reporter...Richard Kraetch

Well, it’s that time of year again to gather bank

statements and figure out just how big a check to write

the IRS. Don’t we love it, yeah right.

Gail and Rolf Siekmann hosted our February cocktail

party and did a superior job with a Valentines theme

and a very nice assortment of snacks. Thanks guys.

Many of us were amazed at the upgrades Gail and Rolf

have made to the inside of their home by redoing the

kitchen, bathrooms, floors and well just about

everything. Again very nice job guys.

Our next cocktail party will be on Tuesday, March 8,

with Joyce and Bill Gum at 8557 Palm Hammock.

We had an HOA meeting at the main pool on Tuesday,

February 2, that was well attended. At the meeting we

re-elected Gerry Paquette as street director with Odes

Rummel (Landscape), Gail Seikman (ARC), Bill Gum,

Richard Kraetsch, and Len Friedman as members of

the street committee.

There was discussion about our oak trees, both for and

against. A vote was taken and was decided to leave

our beautiful trees as they are and continue to maintain

them to limit growth.

We wish our snowbirds safe travel back North and we

will do our best to keep our street beautiful and await

your return in the fall.
