Contact

It seems as though we are constantly asking for the emergency contact form for our files and yet when we need one there is none. Every single homeowner in this community (snowbird or not) should not only have one on file but make sure it’s updated should there be any changes. We have had several incidents in the last month where concerned neighbors said they hadn’t seen their neighbor for a couple of days and did not know who to call. Well, neither did we! Precious time is wasted. These bright yellow forms are available in the entrance way to the community center, the front gate and the office. While you are picking one up, how about a neighbor or someone else you know who may not be able to get out. Pick one up for them and help them fill it out. Maybe you can be their contact! I would also like to mention that the Hernando County Sheriffs office has a program called CARE LINE. To participate you need to request an application from the Sheriff’s office, 754-6830 or our office, complete and return it to the Sheriff’s Office. It works likes this, once you are registered, you must call the CARE LINE between 7 am and 11 am. Should they not hear from you they will call the contact you have listed on your form. If this fails, a deputy will be dispatched to your home to check on your well being.

Have a safe and happy 4^th of July!

Garden Club by President, Lynn Trotter
Looks like the summer rains are here. Make sure a slow releasing fertilizer is used on your lawn; it will last through the summer rains and will not encourage too much soft tender growth, which attracts insects to feed on the lawn. The 4^th of July is upon us again, and thanks to Velma Ambrose, she will be decorating my golf cart for the parade as she did last year.
Congratulations to the July beauty spots:

The Truth about Mold:

Mold occurs naturally both indoors and outdoors. Mold spores could be found in nearly every structure in the United States , regardless of how new or clean the structure is. That’s because mold, in normal amounts is no more dangerous than dust or pollen. Some forms can add value to our lives, others can be harmful. Excessive amounts of mold or exposure may present health concerns for some people.
