A NOTE FROM OUR NEW PRESIDENT

January 10, 2012
 
Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyous and safe holiday season! We have a wonderful new board this year and are energized and ready to get to work on the business of 2012.
At our November Annual meeting, we elected new officers and directors. You can find their names and contact information on our website, www.SpringsLanding.com  and on the front cover of our 2012 directory. Your board is honored to serve; don’t hesitate to contact us for questions or concerns.

Our 2012 directory is in the process of being update and will be ready for distribution in early February.  Please contact Dorene Bartell by email at Doreo123@aol.com  for any updates, additions or deletions to your contact information. Deadline is January 28, 2012.  
Our pond and streams continue to be a major area of concern. It has been over 15 years since our pond and drainage streams have been dredged. The increased level of sand and muck at the bottom of the streams and pond have restricted the water flow and added to the duckweed problem. The cost of dredging is significant (we have one bid for $35,000), but it is a necessity we cannot put off much longer. Your board is researching the most fiscally responsible way to accomplish this project.  

At our annual board meeting, we approved using monies from our reserves for landscaping our clubhouse and common areas in 2012. We continue to look at designs that both enhance our entrance while being cost effective and require low maintenance. If you would like to offer input, please contact Cheryl Montgomery at tmmbosox@aol.com.  We will keep you apprised of our decisions.

We have many new homeowners to welcome into our neighborhood and our properties are looking better and better, despite the recent frost.  If you have any plans for exterior improvement, please submit your plans to Frank Frisaura, our ACC director at ffrisaura@yahoo.com . The form can be found on our website (ACC form). As always, our goal is to keep our neighborhood as attractive and welcoming as possible.

It’s that time of year again when our annual homeowners’ dues are upon us.   The annual assessments have been mailed and are due upon receipt. If you are unable to pay the $375 all at once due to financial constraints, please contact our Treasurer, Make Marhee @ mmarhee@cfl.rr.com  to make arrangements for a payment plan.
This is a wonderful community, and we look forward to working with all of you. Let’s work together to keep our neighborhood one of the most desirable places to live in Seminole County.

President

UPDATE  posted Nov. 4, 2011

Springs Landing Homeowners - November 2011

We had a very successful Halloween party, with goblins and gremlins of all ages participating. Thank you for opening your doors to these “imps”. We are unaware of any issues, other than a homeowner putting his garbage our Monday night and the bears having a field day among the trick or treaters.  PLEASE do not put your trash out until Tuesday/Friday AM. Doing so is a violation of Fish and Wildlife regulations and will result in a serious fine, as will any food left outside unattended.

We are happy to report that the recipients’ of our new Halloween awards are the Nations at 668 Riverpark Circle and the Reisings at 660 River Park Circle. Kudos to everyone who took the time to decorate for this fun evening.
