Managers Report
We now have pool covers on the pool. They are cut in 3 sections for ease of use. Please after removing the cover(s) for pool use put the covers back on the pool. Especially if you are the last one in the pool in the afternoon or evening. As the morning pool users will tell you…it really helps keep the pool water warm. Thank you.
Please check your homes..all sides..for need of power washing and have it washed. Thanks.
Dogs/Cats Reminder… Dogs are to be on leashes at all times when outside your home. Please remember to scoop the poop! Your cat is also to be on a leash when outside your home. There have been quite a few complaints about cats running around day and night. Thank you.
All the “new” gate codes are in the system. All the “old” gate codes have been deleted.
Would whoever „borrowed‟ the LHV NO PARKING sign by the back gate empty lot please return it! Vacant lots are not to be used for „residents‟ parking unless permission has been given for short time parking. Also, please do not park in vacant „homes for sale‟ driveways.

Garnet is the birthstone
Snowdrop and Carnation are the flowers
Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting February alone
Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,
‘Till leap year gives it twenty-nine.
February can test our patience and endurance, but it also brings us a myriad of gifts. St.
Valentine's Day, celebrating the power of love (romantic or not), falls right in the middle
as a signpost for the spirit. And this month, which can seem like the longest, is actually the
shortest! Perhaps February is a lesson in perception, in searching for the positive rather
than the negative. Call on Barchiel to help you focus on the positive throughout the year.
No festival or celebration is complete without symbols and Valentine’s Day cannot be an
exception. The colors of Valentine’s Days are red, pink and white. Given below the symbols
of the season:
Hearts: Since the ancient times, hearts signify love and the place of all human
emotions. Gifting heart means giving everything a person has selflessly to the
person he or she loves.
Ribbons, Laces and Frills: They have become a part of love since the time when
the knights used to go to the battlefield wearing the scarf or handkerchief
presented by his ladylove. During the ancient times usually when a lady wanted to
draw the attention of the man, she used to drop her handkerchief.
Cupid: Cupid or Eros in Greek was the son of the Roman and Greek goddess of love
Venus (Aphrodite in Greek). He is depicted as a chubby, naked winged boy with
wings carrying a bow and a quiver with arrows. It is believed that Cupid makes
people fall in love.
4
Roses: Since the ancient times, roses are associated with love. Rearranging the
letters for the word ‘Rose’ we get the word ‘Eros’ – the god of love. In a Roman
legend, it is said that there was a beautiful girl named Rodanthe who had many
suitors. Their ardent love made them to break the doors of her house which made
goddess Diana infuriated. She turned Rodanthe into a rose and her suitors into
thorns.
The colors of roses also express different sentiments and emotions. For example:
Red: Love, Respect, Beauty and Passion
White: Innocence, Purity, Silence and True Love
Yellow: Friendship, Joy, and Hope
Peach: Admiration, Sympathy and Gratitude
Orange: Fascination and Passionate Thoughts.
Doves and Love Birds: It is believed that on 14th February birds choose their
mates. Doves and pigeons signify loyalty as they mate with their partners through:
out their life. Love Birds are a kind of parrots found in Africa and are always seen
in a pair. Hence they signify love.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Love comes through the eyes that see
And through the ears that hear,
For people are quite beautiful,
And words make feelings clear.
Happy Valentine’s Day.

MARCH 11, 2012
This is a Memorial Service to honor those close family members and neighbors who have
deceased in the preceding years. Every effort will be made to insure that no name will be
omitted. We appreciate the tremendous response in supplying Linda Martin with 70 names
(so far) for our Memorial Service. Again, we encourage you to advise Linda of additional
residents/close family names as soon as possible. Please e-mail her at
[email protected] or call her at 863-422-1307.
The information needed will be the deceased name, month and year of death and
relationship to the provider (spouse, child, neighbor, etc.) and name of provider. Some
guidelines will be as follows:
Close relatives only-spouse, children, or other close family members or
former residents
If possible, get permission from any living relatives to have the loved ones
name included in the Memorial Service Roll Call. If permission cannot be
obtained, ask yourself if they (the deceased) would want to be included in
this Memorial Service.
On this first Memorial Service we will receive names from all years past.
If anyone would like to display 1 picture of your loved one on a table at the Memorial
Service please contact Sally Phillips at 422-1906 or email her at

2012 Board of Directors
Listed below are the officers/directors that were elected at the Annual HOA Meeting.
President: David Lennox Vice President – Richard Gould
Secretary: Doreen Hughey Treasurer: Pete Evans
Directors: Tammy Anthis, Bob Marotti
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President’s Message
Welcome to 2012. I may appear to be a month late, but the Annual Meeting was just last
week. Thus, I welcome the new HOA Board of Directors. Our thanks are extended to
retiring Board members Herman Biba, Rita Cramer, Hank Marion, and Ron Plouffe.
I was pleased to see so many interested homeowners at the Annual Meeting (78 , including
proxies, out of 123 dues paying members) We had a very healthy debate on the legal fund
and a motion was passed to keep the fund as currently established. The legal fund has just
over $12,000 in it.
The new Board must fill a vacancy and will do so at the February 7th Board Meeting. If you
would like to serve or recommend a name, please contact me or another Board member.
The Activities Committee is always looking for more volunteers and I encourage each of us
to make a contribution to help organize an activity. Specifically, the Spring Yard Sale is
scheduled for March 24th and we need someone or a small group, to lead its organization.
As a former school principal, I am reminded of my first newsletter to the parents each
year. I wrote – if you believe only half of the stories that your children bring home, we will
believe only half of the stories that your children bring to school. Let’s remember this as
we proceed to have a positive and active 2012.
Dave Lennox, President
===================================================================================
LHV Yard Sale will be on Saturday, March 24th. We are looking for someone to help organize this
event, is you are interested let a board member know.
